Awful in other ways than that. Druids can use metal armor/shields but it's taboo. So turning her armor a plate mail bikini is very wrong, not because it's cliché but because it's stupidly unimmersive besides lore unfriendly.

It also makes no sense at all. Look at that armor. It's plate armor. How could it only have AC 11? They should have depicted her in common leather with AC 11.

And that's clearly custom plate armor. She'd have like armor class 18 or 19, at the very least, with that armor.

And she doesn't look anything like her previous pics from BG1 and 2. She looks more like an elf from Age of Wonders; Julia or her daughter from Age of Wonders 3.

I hope Larian makes her look more like BG1 and 2. (Although, her pics between BG1 and 2 look considerably different too. Still, at least she looked more like a half-elf druid.) She is half-elf, so looking older doesn't necessarily mean she would need lots of wrinkles and white hair. Still, she's a good 140 years old or whatever the above post said. That's considerable even for a half-elf. She'd probably look kinda like Aragorn at the end of Return of the King. Still good looking, but maybe a few signs of aging; some whiter hair and a few wrinkles but still looking pretty healthy and strong.

Either way, that armor's gotta go. The staff is cool, but the armor does not fit. The face, the hair, kinda works, but if you're giving her that armor, you should take out the whole AC 11 and Barkskin 16 bit. Give her AC 19 Plate Armor, and that would work just fine with the image. (And yes, breast size is ridiculous. Seriously. Can't some fantasy women have normal bust sizes? Do they all have to look like they're about to explode?) Seriously, after BG2, Jaheira had some rocking armor and weapons. If she's still alive by BG3 time, she should still have some rocking armor and equipment. She's been through Hell, literally. The woman should be near-goddess level tough. I mean, they could maybe downplay her stats a bit, accounting for her having retired or something from active adventuring and thus being a bit rusty, but her equipment should still be some killer stuff after all she's been through. I doubt she'd have just sold it all or given it up being that she's still supposed to be a leader of Harpers.

Oh, and by the way, she married Gorion's Ward. IT'S CANON! I said so. The two continued on as heroes and adventurers, helping people and doing good for many, many years to come. Being both half-elves, (Gorion's Ward was a sorcerer as well, btw), they lived a very long, happy life together. That's what happened in BG2, and I don't care what anyone else says. Jaheira DID remarry - Gorion's Ward. Oh, and they had children. One of them may actually be (ahem is) the protagonist of BG3. So says I.

(I have been waiting to create my Gorion's Ward/Jaheira Love Child Main Protagonist of BG3 ever since before EA started. I'm just waiting for the full game release. This is how it is, like it or not.)

End of story. smile
