All artists draw from real people. It's a working standard. Don't remember anything from NWN. Viconia was a porn actress before becoming drow though.
Pretty sure that one of the player pic of the Asian girl with the katana over her shoulder in NWN is based on Devon Aoki.

Most of the other NWN portraits are also based on famous people, these specific ones were changed because they didn't have permission to alter and use them in such a way.

The character building seems very advanced. The bloodlines for the sorcerer alone gives you like 20+ choices. I guess it depends on how much these bloodlines affect your overall build, if it's something trivial it's eh.

I don't like that there is no "core book" difficulty that sets everything to actual pnp rules when it comes to resting, status effects, etc.

Also fuck anime sorcerer lovers. dozen+ bloodlines dragon this dragon that special snowflakes.
necromancer sorcerer? how the hell that works, your mom fucked a lich?

Bloodlines have a massive impact in the pen and paper, they give really strong thematic spells and abilities (some passive).

Bloodragers (barbarian and sorcerer hybrids), get a slightly watered down version that generally only applies whilst they are raging.

no idea about if sorc builds are pnp faithful, they probably are. my guess is with paizo, if players wants to play something, even if it sounds kinda retarded but is popular (i want my dad to be a revenant!) they add it to the rules.

with difficulty you have a lot of options, and presets like easy/normal/hard. however I am not that familiar with pathfinder, so say there's an option - cure conditions on rest yes/no? I would like it work like in pnp, where some probably cure from resting by making characters pass CON check or something, and some don't. but I don't see that option and don't know which one is more pnp of those I actually have. if I pick yes - does everything heal, like in popamole games? if no - does it mean I have to learn every cure condition spell there is or carry restoration pots for every one? I want to know.

This is why I'd like to see difficulty - "Core rules". Cause I don't care for balance in game and what developers think is balanced, I just want it to work like in pnp. Like in tactical mods to BG2 - you pick "D&D", and monsters do what they do in the books i.e. gain abilities they are supposed to have even if they are quite op.

That's hot. Anyway, it's probably a vampire, although how that would work is also a good question.

Except the game already doesn't work like pnp because it's RTwP, shit has to be rebalanced for that. You can't just take a TB system, remove the whole "turn" thing and have a perfectly functional system. They shouldn't have made it real time...

Are we gonna discuss lich dicks now or what? There is literaly desc on hover - You had lich in your bloodline, curse or you died during birth and then become undead.

Undead babies are like eyelashes and eyebrows, they grow until they hit a certain length/age and then stop. I thought everyone knew this.

Not everyone have tits.

Maybe a undead female could have baby and feed it with magic or life force from its victims.

It's too small on the picture compared to the canon.
