Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon DLC gallery

By Drew Prindle April 15, 2013

Tired of running around the same old island and dealing with the same psychotic people in Far Cry 3? We can’t blame you. Sure, it’s an incredible game with tons of fun gameplay to offer, but it’s also been a few months since it was released with nary a hint at more content. Well no worries if you’ve grown tired of it – Ubisoft is preparing the crazy new Blood Dragon DLC, and its nothing like the original game.

Imagine the apocalypse has had an apocalypse, and a rogue cyborg army is reshaping the world into cyber hell – at least that’s how the trailer describes it. We think it’s more like a cyber-psychedelic RoboCop movie on acid. Just check out the pictures and see for yourself.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon releases on Xbox 360 and PC May 1st, and a day earlier on the PS3, April 30th.

How to change your appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3

A party of four adventures walking through a mushroom forest in the Underdark

Making your character can take a long time if you really want to get all the details right. From your race, class, hairstyle, and more, you have a lot of options to tweak before ever starting your adventure. If you're a little too excited, you might end up slacking off on making your character and assuming you can update it later just so you can get right into the action. If so, or you simply want to change up your look after a couple of hours into this massive game, you'll be at a loss as to how, if you even can, change your appearance in Baldur's Gate 3. You may not fully like the answer, but here's the best you can do in terms of altering your appearance after you've exited the character creator.
Can you change your appearance in Baldur's Gate 3?

The answer to this is technically yes, but not in the way you would hope. To get it out of the way, no, there's no way to return to the character creation screen after you've finalized your character. Unlike respeccing your character, there's no NPC, item, or magic mirror anywhere in The Forgotten Realms that will let you change your appearance.

How to change your dice skin in Baldur’s Gate 3

Even though your PC or console will be handling all the behind-the-scenes math, Baldur's Gate 3 still wants you to feel like you're playing a classic Dungeons and Dragons experience. To that end, you will still get to roll a digital D20 for important skill checks during your quests through the Forgotten Realms. If you're a little superstitious about how your rolls go, you may want to pick out a more "lucky"-feeling die to do your rolls. While you can't substitute in the trusty D20 you bring to your tabletop games, you can at least change the appearance of your in-game dice skins. Here's how to add a little personal touch to your die in Baldur's Gate 3.

Who is the Guardian in Baldur’s Gate 3?

After the potentially long and arduous process of creating your character in Baldur's Gate 3, then finalizing your class, race, and background, you would think you're finally ready to get started on your adventure. However, you're hit with yet another character creator, but this time for someone named the Guardian. Little is explained about who this is meant to be or why you are able to customize them. Will this be an ally? Perhaps an antagonist? You will hear their voice early on in the game, but won't encounter them. If the mystery of this character is eating away at your mind more than the Mind Flayer parasite, here's the answer to who the Guardian is in Baldur's Gate 3.

Note: We will refrain from spoiling as much as possible, but will by nature need to divulge some information you don't learn until deeper into the game.
Who is the Guardian?
The Guardian is a mysterious force that you first interact with mentally. After escaping the Nautiloid crash, you will start to get telepathic messages from it when you take long rests. This won't occur every night, but it will happen as you make progress in the story. The Guardian seems to show up after situations in which you use your Illithid powers, which stem from the parasite in your brain. This makes sense as the Guardian reveals first that it allowed you to survive the crash and is against your quest to remove the parasite. It claims the power it grants you is too advantageous to get rid of.
