Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have one big Magic Mirror question Larian StudiosThe Magic Mirror is one of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s most popular post-launch additions, but players are wondering about its in-universe implications. When Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 released last year, players who created their own avatars rather than selecting one of the premade Origin characters were locked into their appearance for the rest of the game. That changed with the release of Patch 3, which introduced the Magic Mirror. With it, players could edit just about anything about their Tav\u2019s appearance save for their body type and race anytime they visited their Camp. It\u2019s a great addition that players have appreciated since its introduction, with some even using it for storytelling purposes. However, there\u2019s one big question the Magic Mirror presents that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 never addresses. BG3 players want to know how companions recognize Tav after using Magic Mirror Reddit user CheetoTreato posed the question to the BaldursGate3 subreddit: How does everyone recognize a Tav who\u2019s changed everything about their appearance mid-game? Many players use the Magic Mirror for minor changes that fit into their character\u2019s journey, such as dying their hair or getting a new scar. But you do have the option to make changes that are harder to explain, like changing your voice or skin tone. Some commenters have proposed their own explanations for the Magic Mirror\u2019s in-game implications. \u201cMaybe it moves your consciousness to a different timeline where you\u2019ve always looked like that,\u201d suggested one user. Another proposed a darker solution: The Emperor altering everyone\u2019s memories so that they recognize a post-makeover Tav. The easiest potential answer is that the protagonist\u2019s tadpole ensures the others know who they are, though this doesn\u2019t explain why non-tadpoled characters are also in the loop. The fact that the game never attempts to provide an answer is probably for the best. After all, it\u2019s likely the party would be suspicious of any sudden physical transformations, and having to fight or convince your allies every time you use the Magic Mirror would be a high price to pay for a pretty standard RPG feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
