What to study

Character creation leads with a single-column option panel against a full-height hero preview: origin as a carousel row, identity as plain labelled steppers, and the character itself doing the selling. Console prompts sit inline with the controls they affect rather than in a footer legend. Frame at 37.4s in the Baldur's Gate 3 - Release Date Reveal Trailer (Steam).
