And yet somehow manages to maintain dreadlocks.
Something is just off about the animations and rendering. Like they pushed the engine to do things it just wasn't meant to do, and the different perspective messed up the character animations somehow.
They're braids, actually. Which are even harder to maintain.
It's a fookin elf who cares lmao.
They should indeed have made her more distinct (and older) instead of harking back to the Baldurs Gate 2 version, which was great. Nu-Jaheira is naught but a faded, pale imitation, a spectre, a mockery of the past.
Are you really going to tell me that these two look the same? Even her eye color got changed in BG2.
Look at the nose second one too. It's just...off.
I think Larian did the best they could with what they had here. It's Wizards' fault for digging up the BG cast in their own lore and not letting it remain a mystery for PC gaming fans as to what happened to each character or what the canon BG ending was.
Like most old women. I fail to see the issue.

It's more like Larians failed take on who she was in BG 2. Presumably she used arch-druid magic to preserve exactly how she "was" as Larian understand it.Like most old women. I fail to see the issue.
It's because of the drought of games to participate in their stupid promo. Isn't this the second year for BG3 in the Game Awards, forgive me that I don't care to track such stuff?
Again, Larian didn't do that bad. They didn't make her coombait, when they probably could have. They kept her at least similar to her BG2 pic, which as I said isn't drawn in a way that lends itself to look good in 3D.
Not sure what the complaints are. She looks ugly as hell in all 3 games, so they kept it mostly accurate.

The accent is off. Original VA went in deeper and thicker. She/It doesn't look enough like Jaheira's BG 2 portrait which was more exotic and that I've been enamored with since childhood. The Belgian bootleg necromancy version is vanilla except for the dreads which are crudely used to conjure memories of Le Jaheira along with the faux accent without which no-one would know who the fuck Larian were presenting. Sure it could have been worse like the second pic but it's plenty bad enough in my book.Again, Larian didn't do that bad. They didn't make her coombait, when they probably could have.

Maybe you just don't get how bad it could have been.
This is Jaheria according to Wizards of the Coast's last BG product:

This is her from their Idle Champions game:

I agree that the hair is too similar, but other than that, you have nothing to complain about. What specifically is wrong with her to you?
Other than her being old now, and a slutbag who couldn't wait to jump CHARNAME's bone after Khalid bit the dust, I mean.
Interesting tidbit of information from a german site. So, Jaheira will be a companion just like Minsc. Neither, however, are playable. It's quite probable that neither will be romanceable either.
Like the entire game.
BG2 Jaheira's portrait had features which were actually distinct, as opposed to this version.This is Jaheria according to Wizards of the Coast's last BG product:
I was wondering how they were going to handle the playable companions (playable as one's main character, not just a party member) thing when some of them were supposed to show up later in the game. I guess that solves it.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
