Baldur's Gate 3 Adds 'Magic Mirror' for Players to Reshape Characters as They Develop

Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 3 adds the Magic Mirror, allowing players to change their character's appearance.
Players are using the Magic Mirror for roleplaying and character development. One player changed their tidy hair to a more unkempt style in Act 2 to show their character letting their guard down.
The Magic Mirror lets players reshape their character's look to match their evolving personality and backstory. This works well with the Dark Urge Origin.
Certain NPCs like Shadowheart already change appearance based on their arc. Now player-made characters can as well.
With its emphasis on roleplaying, Baldur's Gate 3 is a great fit for using the Magic Mirror to reflect a character's growth.
