What discovery did the player make? A player decided to change Jaheira’s outfit and was pleasantly surprised – he hadn’t expected such details.

Varicose veins, cellulite, wrinkles and age spots – all these details are integrated into Jaheira’s appearance.

This combination simply blew the player away.

On Reddit, user Glittering_Act_4059 comments on Jaheira’s body:

Jaheira – the centuries-old (??), badass warrior – gets the best body in the entire game. Varicose veins, cellulite, wrinkles, age spots – the attention to detail that goes into portraying her age while giving the impression that she can really fight as well as she does blows me away.

And what a great image that gives players? That your body doesn’t have to be perfect, but it can still be strong, powerful and beautiful.

Larian […] could have given her the same beauty standards that so many of the characters have. Instead, they made it relatable, which I never expected.

Here you can see a few pictures that show Jaheira’s body in detail. It’s also worth noting that Baldur’s Gate 3 gives players the ability to select vitiligo spots in the character editor.

  • Alicex13 is happy about a small detail: “I really appreciate the cellulite. It’s certainly a small detail, but it makes Jaheira more likable, at least for me.”

    • The reaction of the players shows that there is definitely a need for such more realistic depictions of reality and that not all characters always have to be smooth models. In the world of video games there is room for diverse characters.

    However, some have something to complain about elsewhere: players lose powerful spell effects, wish there was a pop-up warning
