Baldur’s Gate 3 is a tabletop RPG where a dice roll decides everything. Whether you are walking, talking, fighting, or romancing, the game will perform a background dice roll to determine your success. However, certain instances, like picking locks or intimidating someone, will show you the whole process with a default dice skin. But watching the same dice skin thousands of times in Baldur’s Gate 3 can get boring.
Luckily, the game allows you to change dice skins from a limited list. Here is how you can do it.
Changing Dice Skins in Baldur’s Gate 3
Baldur’s Gate 3 dice are unlike our normal dice with six sides. Instead, we have twenty-sided dice that decide our fate in any situation. Although you may not like the outcome of the dice rolls sometimes, you can at least change their appearance to your liking.
While the game rolls a dice in the background every time you do anything, there are certain occasions when you get to see it. You will be presented with a graphic visual showing the dice, the required number you need to roll or higher, and the bonuses you can add to it.
- Please wait for the dice roll, as it is the only time you can choose and change the skin of your dice.
- Instead of rolling the dice, look at the bottom left corner of the screen.
- You will notice a purple hexagon icon in the corner. As you click this icon, the list of all available dice skins appears.
- Now check the box in front of the dice skin you want to apply, and voila.
The dice will now be rolled in the same color as you selected. It won’t go back to its previous skin unless you change it once more.
