Thats something Larian could of innovated upon! 3D models based on kick ass portrait art smile


This was unfortunately a common issue for me in DoS2 as well - the portraits were often straight up terrible, even when the character was at least semi-good looking. I always prefer the traditional fantasy portraits, BUT - I believe that ship might have sailed when it comes to BG3. :[

Yet, I see absolutely no reason why they shouldn't give us a better version of DA:O's portrait style. Alternatively, take a look at the character lobby photo-alternatives in any korean game (Vindictus, BDO, Lost Ark etc). Just using and improving either one of these features, or both, would result in much better portraits than the ones we currently have. I'd love for the portraits to at least have some sort of personality, like the emotion-sliders in DA:O where you could add a slight smile, gritting teeth or just a neutral expression. Being able to change background - or at the very least the color of it - and the angle of the picture (so that we can avoid the awkward straight-forward position) would be really nice as well.


Hoot hoot, stranger! Fairly new to CRPGs, but I tried my best to provide some feedback regardless! <3 Read it here: My Open Letter to Larian
