There are numerous secrets, hidden messages, mysteries, and whatnot behind each door in Baldur’s Gate 3. While many can be solved, there are a few that are straight-up Easter Eggs. Among all of these concepts, there are certain baffling things that have always kept players confused or on edge.
However, one of the most confusing ones that most don’t seem to know the answer to is Tav in Baldur’s Gate 3. Players are keen to know about Tav and what is the relevance of this name to BG3. Is it an Easter Egg or a Foreshadow? Or maybe something entirely else. It has become one of the biggest mysteries and players want an answer to it.
Who is Tav in Baldur’s Gate 3?
Tav is the default name that Baldur’s Gate 3 assigns to custom characters until the player changes it. And if players fail to change it before starting their campaign, they would have been stuck with it for the rest of their playthrough. Luckily, after all the recent updates there is a way players can change their character names with a Magic Mirror.
There is a growing concept in the gaming industry about a generic character name and Tav comes as no surprise after we have seen V in Cyberpunk 2077. The goal is to keep the name easy to pronounce and neutral for all group of players. Players can easily change the character name while they are customizing in order to avoid having the tag of Tav.
There are multiple settings that players have to look at while customizing the character and it is easy to forget changing Tav. Since you can change it if you want later, there’s nothing for you to worry about.
Hope that solves the mystery revolving around Tav in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you found this guide useful, do check out our other BG3 Guides while you are here at Gamer Tweak.
