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.

How to change your dice skin

The unfortunate part about changing your dice skin is that you can only do it at very specific moments in the game and at no other time. If you miss one of these chances, you'll have to wait for the next one.

Step 1: Play normally until you come across a skill check that brings up the dice-rolling screen.

Step 2: Look to the bottom right of the screen for an icon you can select called Customize Dice.

Step 3: Selecting this will bring up a menu where you can swap out your dice skin for any others you have available.

Step 4: Depending on which version of the game you have, you will have access to different skins. As of now, there are no ways to get more dice skins in-game, so your options are limited based on your version.

How to change your party and party leader in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Cloud and Tifa stand back-to-back in a fight.

In Final Fantasy 7: Remake, Cloud was usually alone or with just one or two other companions at a time. Aside from a few instances, mainly combat trails and VR missions, you never had to worry much about party management during the story. In Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, your crew starts out at five and only grows from there.

As was the case in the original and Remake, only three characters can be active in a fight at a time, one of which is the leader. While playing as Cloud is great fun, you will be doing yourself a disservice by not switching the party up and experimenting with different combinations. The game tells you that it can be done, but isn't as informative on exactly how to do these things as, say, Chadly would be. Here's how to change your party and set your party leader in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth.

How to change your ship’s name in Helldivers 2
Four soldiers near an airstrike in Helldivers 2.

The most important part of any ship has to be its name. In Helldivers 2, you're fortunate enough to get a vessel all of your own right away, meaning you need to come up with a name on the spot from the available presets. If you're unprepared, you might enter something that you end up wishing you could change, but there isn't an obvious way to edit your choice after it's been made. In other games, you might need to spend some currency like Warbonds or Super Credits to alter something like this, but that's not the case here. Once you know the trick, you can alter your ship's name whenever you wish.
How to change your ship's name

Changing your ship's name takes no time at all in Helldivers 2. Just go over to the Ship Management station on the left side of the bridge. Interact with the terminal and you will be on the Destroyer tab, which has all your ship's stats, by default. On the right, you can see the option to Change Ship Name above the Ship Log. Just press Square here if you're on PlayStation 5 or R on PC to open up the prompt to choose whichever combination of words your heart desires for your defender of Super Earth. Simply apply the changes when you're happy and get back to spreading some Democracy!

The long, winding road to Baldur’s Gate 3 was paved with these Larian games
Divine Divinity (2002) gameplay

A career-crowning achievement as monumental as Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't come out of nowhere. From Divinity to Dungeons & Dragons, Larian Studios has long been one of the loudest advocates for rich storytelling and true, meaningful freedom in Western RPGs.

Larian Studios' story is a rags-to-riches tale about a group of passionate developers whose deep and diverse portfolio of games piled up for nearly three decades before Baldur's Gate 3 ever saw the light of day. Amid canceled projects, Larian narrowly skirted total bankruptcy. In order to survive, there are several points in its history when the independent studio experimented. There were dives into real-time strategy, educational games for the Belgian kids' TV station Ketnet, the Diablo-esque Divine Divinity, and Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, a third-person action RPG built on Bethesda’s Gamebryo engine.
