Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the most replayable games ever made. Not only is it impossible to see all the content in playthrough, but the game completely changes based on your alignment and decisions. Then, of course, there’s the Dark Urge playthrough and playing as an origin character as well. Fans are always finding new things and are looking for more reasons to go back to the game.

If you’ve somehow managed to play through all known paths and seen just about everything the game has to offer, you may be on the lookout for another reason to get back to Baldur’s Gate 3. It seems there is a unique way to play the game, that lets you experience content you otherwise wouldn’t have access to. It comes in the form of the Disguise Self spell.
A Master Of Disguise
Disguise Self, as the name suggests, lets you disguise yourself as another character or race of your choosing. It’s especially helpful for when you want to keep a low profile while walking around the bustling city. However, it seems that if you master the spell and use it at the right moments, it can change the way you play entirely.
As noted by scuzzlebuttstudios‘ Reddit post on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, Disguise self is very underrated. “You get to experience so many race-specific interactions on one character. Just in act 1, I got to experience goblin camp and grymforge as a drow, creche as a githyanki,” they said.
“It’s such an amazing flavor spell, and coupled with my bard, I can perfectly perform and pass checks too, giving me so much more story and content than I’ve ever experienced on one character,” continued the post. “Oh, and halfling disguise to fit in burrows.”
Someone in the comments section also noted that the spell will allow you to talk to the corpse of someone you just killed as well.
“That’s not only a lot of fun, but a quick safety leveling in the early game. You get some experience from exploring map, and [the] Drow look really helps for conversation with goblins: camp, windmill etc. (but not enter Waukeen’s Rest as a drow and Mykonid Colony as a duergar,” noted another comment. “Also Disguise Self helps to steal gold from vendors and really helps to get Moonlatern in Act 2.”
So, if you’re looking for another way to replay Baldur’s Gate 3 this holiday season, why not try the Disguise Run?
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the long-awaited next chapter in the Dungeons & Dragons-based series of RPGs. Developed by Divinity creator Larian Studios, it puts you in the middle of a mind flayer invasion of Faerûn, over a century after the events of its predecessor.
