Oh, yes. I’d forgotten DA:I copped out altogether and just showed us a hand! That was disappointing, I’ll admit.

Yeah, personally I’d prefer worse portraits that look like my in-game model than fancy ones that don’t. As I’ve just proved by using CC screenshots for my new Pathfinder WotR character portrait. Of course, a good portrait that looks like the in-game model would be even better, and folk make an interesting point that AI opens up some options here. That’s something to look out for in future games, though I’m not expecting it for BG3. Perhaps some different camera angles and expressions aren’t too much to hope for, though!
