How to Create Geralt of Rivia in Baldur's Gate 3

hello everyone I'm levatr welcome to my Channel today I'll be showing you how to create geralt of Rivia in balers Gate 3 now let me clarify this is a before photo so if you're looking at it and you're like doesn't really look like him just wait until the end of the video but as I go through it the some of the choices are a bit subjective so if you want to take it a little bit of a different way or maybe even do a different character class and that's just the play style that you want feel free but I'm going to be going through trying to recreate geralt of Riva as accurately to the source material as I can and speaking of source material there's quite a few iterations of geralt from the books the TV show and the video game series so I'm going to be aiming using Witcher 3 as my main source and that's what I'm going to be aiming for but I'll show a little bit of how to kind of make him look a bit more like Henry kle if that's what we're looking for but let's let go ahead and jump into it now starting off of course we're going to go with the custom character and then for race he's definitely a modified human but he is a human out of source so let's go ahead and pick that one now for class this is something that you might want to do something a little bit differently but I feel like fighter is the most appropriate I mean I know he does some spells with his signs but I feel like overall sword fighting is the main combat he uses so let's go with that one now for fighting style he generally uses one sword and it's not super massive it's not like a great sword so I'm going to go ahead and do dueling and if only we could get another sword that's either steel or silver I think it would really complete the look so far and for background I think it's the most likely ones are either folk hero or Outlander since he was not raised as part of society at Kore and being trained to be a Witcher it's definitely bit of an Outlander background but reading folk hero he's definitely a champion of the people we know he does what he can to protect them challenges monsters protect the helpless is definitely something he would do and saving innocence and imminent danger and he's definitely built up a bit of a reputation for himself so if we could just add a little bit of nuance and say begrudging folk hero and I feel like this would be the most accurate one but if you want to go with Outlander then I completely understand that as well but for this build I'm going to go with folk hero now abilities you could modify this a little bit but I don't want to design the character and once we get into the game it's not working very well so I'm just going to stick with the recommended one and Trust the game that it's not going to mess it up as much as I would trying to do it myself now let's go ahead and get into the appearance as we have a bit of work to do so first of all the body type I think body type 4 is definitely can be the most similar to how he is I mean two he seems a bit too small a little too short and not as strong so let's go with four and then for voice none of them are a really great match it doesn't feel like yeah this is definitely it like spot on but I think voice one is a pretty decent one but also probably won't be hearing it too much throughout the game so we'll just go with that now for face let's go ahead and do head five and once we start doing some of the customization I think it'll come together a little bit more than it does right now and for skin tone let's go ahead do neutral tone too I mean he's a little bit pale but not this feels a slightly too pale so let's knock it up a shade and go with that one now for scarring he definitely has a few notable scars on his face and most prominently one that goes across his eye he has a few others like a small one on his nose and another kind of on his forehead but given the options that we have I think scar one is the most realistic or the most the one that matches the best best now for maturity he is definitely a little bit older and it shows so I'm going to go ahead and do about 50% slightly lower just kind of get a long bit of those wrinkles around the eyes but I think that's fine there and it's going to be looking old enough with the white hair once we get to that now freckles we can Skip and Vitiligo I think also set to zero now genitals fil free go wild whatever you want whatever you think suits it the best but I'm just going to leave at default and not touch it cuz I am not making I don't have enough subscribers or watch time to make money from YouTube videos but let's go ahead and just skip that controversy so let's go ahead and move on body ARP no tattoos so I'm just going to go ahead and skip that part eyes he unfortunately we can't do that like cat's eye pupil that he has but we can go ahead and try to get that yellow color I think topaz 2 is the most fitting one sometimes it almost looks like his eyes are glowing but I think topaz 2 gives us a a nice of that yellow color and a bit bright without coming off as like over the top or anything now makeup again we can just skip this one already good as it is now hairstyle in the games in the game alone in which you're three you have a few options for the hairstyle so what you picture in your mind of what geralt looks like from your playthrough of Wier 3 may be different from someone else's but I'm going to go ahead just kind of give my thoughts on it and if you want something a little bit different feel free like I said this is kind of up to you but as we scroll through one of the hair options in the game is a bit of like an undercut where it's like pretty sure on the sides so if that's the one you want foxel I think is going to be the most matching but I don't really like the look of the hair when it's like you can kind of see through the skin or see the skin through it so I'm not going to be using this one instead I think the best fit overall for the character is going to be this one Fair Forester we got the ponytail that kind of has the knot in the back and so I think that's pretty fitting with what how gal looks like in Wier 3 now if you want slightly variations of this you could also do aium fan that kind of makes the ponytail a little bit shorter and on top of that you could also do pinned and perfect for a slightly different look to it but still it's all kind of variations of the same thing I feel like the fair Forester is the most accurate but if you're looking for the charact you want to play as geralt from The Witcher series The Henry caval look then you can also go ahead and do or first of all you could also use wind swep if you just don't want the ponytail period but still have that long hair and then for a bit of a more broish uncapped look like he has in the Netflix series I think Willow tiers is going to be the best match for the Henry kle look but like I said I think Fair Forester for how geralt of Rivia looks like to me in Wier 3 I think this one's the best fit so that's what I'm going to go with now hair color definitely has white hair is spray known for that and as you go if you try out other shades of white they kind of have like this dash of color like blue or like green into it so I think white one is going to be the best look gray it kind of makes it a little bit too black and not enough white so I think White one is going to be the best the optimal one highlights we can just skip that so doesn't matter we're going to set it to zero and then graying this is something that can help because right now like I pick your white but this looks like a light gray if we hit the graying intensity to 100 it just adds that white throughout the whole thing and kind of gives it a little bit of that whiter look that I imagine so that's the way I'm going to do it and then facial hair if you're going for Netflix series Henry caval Witcher who doesn't have a beard so you're already done but while there's a few different looks that you can have your facial air in the game I think the top two are either going to be jaw Clinger or groomed Rascal and either of these I think you'll be pretty set jaw Clinger I want the bear to be a little bit shorter than it is as K drasal I don't really like the look where you can see the skin through the hair as I mentioned so I'm going to go ahead and pick room jasal for this one hair color keep it the same already good and let's go ahead proceed now I think we're getting a character that looks pretty good pretty accurate match to the character I mean you can't customize it too much so you can't make it look like it's straight from the game of whicher three like people are going to see this and say and be able to tell that's a custom character designed to look like geralt but I think if someone walks by they can be like oh that's geralt and it's like yeah that's kind of what we're going for and the character name of course we're going to do geralt you can also do a Rivia or you can name him busher blavin at whatever title you want him to have but I'm going to go ahead and just stick with simply geralt and that's going to wrap it up for the character customization now I will say once we get to Guardian you can do a few different approaches you can do yennefer or Tris whicher whichever person you decide to purum Wier three or you can come kind of do a different a completely different approach there's a lot of characters to choose from I mean you can make a Bard character and just run around balder's gate with telion if that's what you're up for but I'm going to go ahead and wrap it up here with our geralt of Rivia build now if you want to see me actually play as geralt and roleplay as the character I'm planning to do that release it one part at a time about play an hour edit the highlights posted on my YouTube channel so if that's something you're interested in feel free to subscribe or if you'd
