Larian Studios has recently released Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 9 which includes the ability to change hirelings appearance and more.
Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 9 now brings the game up to version number 4.1.1.3767641. The hotfix includes the usual fixes for bugs, issues, and crashes. It also adds new features that fans will definitely like. One the additions is the ability to change the appearance of their hirelings with the help of the Magic Mirror.
“The same restrictions apply as when you edit your Tav, but we hope this enables you to create the party of your dreams,” Larian said on Baldur’s Gate 3 Steam page. “Or, someone else’s nightmares. We can’t wait to see it.”
The Magic Mirror also adds another functionality, the ability to change their character’s name. “We’ll be using this to add Cool in front of every one of our characters, but you do you,” Larian joked.
