Character portraits in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are a holdover from the old games, as they not only offer an easy way to select characters but also give you a visual indicator of their current hit points. They also change to match the party member\u2019s appearance, giving you a chance to see close-ups of their headgear. Unfortunately, even the character portraits aren\u2019t safe from the glitches that have haunted Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 since launch. Users on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit are reporting an issue where the party member close-ups look like they\u2019re viewing the game through a webcam. \u201cIt\u2019s the dreaded boomer camera tilt, face-to-ceiling ratio all messed up,\u201d one user joked, while another said, \u201cHas been happening to me since EA, I thought they would fix it for release. Not a biggie.\u201d According to one user, the cause of the issue has been identified, and a possible solution is available: \u201cUnfortunately, a known bug often occurs on level up. You can try respeccing at Withers to force a level up (or level up normally), and if that fails, try reloading a save from before the bug occurred.\u201d There\u2019s an even bigger drawback to this glitch when playing as certain races. \u201cI have no idea, but it happens pretty often for me and my friends,\u201d one user wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s funny when it happens to a short race like dwarf or halfling because they just completely disappear from the box so it\u2019s just blank.\u201d It\u2019s strange that this issue has existed since Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 entered early access and has yet to be fixed, even though it\u2019s been mentioned publicly for a long time. Then again, the glitch doesn\u2019t affect gameplay and can actually be quite funny when it occurs, so it\u2019s probably a low-priority fix, especially when so much is still planned for the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 bug turns character portraits into webcam videos Larian Studios\/DexertoBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 might be celebrating its first anniversary, but there are still persistent glitches that players can encounter, including one that messes up the character portraits, making them look like poorly-aligned Zoom calls.
