Thank you Raze. I didn't try any other resolutions to be honest, one thing I noticed though is it's possibly it's only the menu screen that's cut off, the game itself seems fine when I edit it but because the menu is cut off I've to Alt+F4 to exit.
I reckon it shouldn't be too difficult to change portrait to that of another class, or even to another one from within that class, using your thread on hex offsets to change character appearance doesn't affect the portrait. I haven't had any luck messing with the hex editor though.
And is it not possible to swap armour appearances?
I do love this game though (even if the humour in places isn't quite my taste). This is probably the fourth proper character I've started but I've only played it through once. Going to try a Survivor this time as I never have before.
