How to change your character’s appearance in The Thaumaturge

Whether you like it or not, you won’t be able to sport a 20th-century mohawk. Here is how to change your character’s appearance in The Thaumaturge.

The Thaumaturge: How to change your character’s appearance

After a lot of hype, The Thaumaturge is finally upon us and, since it is a RPG, many are wondering if you can create your character or even change his appearance. Let’s start with some bad news. The Thaumaturge protagonist cannot be changed and we are stuck with Wiktor Szulski, a thaumaturge with a severe case of bloodshot eyes and some issues to resolve with his dead father. However, while we all love the scrappy look of our protagonists, there is a level of character customization included in the game. You can change your clothes, your haircut, and your beard. You will need to be in between main quests to do so, so be sure to visit the Atelier or the Barber beforehand.

To change your clothes you can visit both the Tailor’s Atelier or your room in the Szulski Family Tenement House. Both of them are located in the Northern Srodmiescie district.

While initially limited, if you get to help the Atelier get inspiration you will be able to unlock new clothes. These are limited to different color schemes, so it appears that Wiktor knows what he likes and nobody will change his mind. And yes, that includes rival thaumaturges.

Anyway, if you don’t feel like sporting the default haircut and beard, you can also visit the Barber. He is located in the Powazki Cemetery district.

You can change your hairstyle and beard without any type of fee. These are limited to the styles of the era and also to the Warsaw fashion. So be prepared for very pronounced mustaches and beards galore.

You can visit these places as much as you want if you feel like you need an extreme makeover. As said before, usually during quests you won’t be able to abandon the area, so these will be closed down and even the fast travel points won’t get you to the different districts in Warsaw until you have finished the quest.
