TrustNo1 said:An annoyance I just had with this game (BG1) is the available pc portraits. Now, I really like them, but the portrait pool is shared with the recruitable npcs. Now what happens is that out of the available there are only a pair that I actually want to use, but those belong to npcs. Since I have played it some before, I have grown somewhat attached to how they look, and with me occupying the portrait, they will change the npc to a "second pick" alternative, and that just becomes to jarring to me. For example they change Xan to some halfling, and Kivan get this cheery and gay look. I ended up using custom portrait from NWN, since it has a somewhat similar style and doesn`t seem to out of place.
I know it is a purely cosmetic issue, but I`m one of those that could never name a character "Jack Bauer" and play through a game, so this is serious business!
Yes there are not very many portraits to choose from and hard to find a good one for certain classes that is not re-used. There are different mod sites you can download portaits from, i listed one of them earlier in this post.
I had trouble finding a good ranger pic because I didnt want to use the same one I used in BGII, but I use one that looks sort of like a fighter\ranger.
