Oh yes, it seems to be possible to buy and apply face paint. I think it can function as a kind of disguise, though I didn’t see it used to fool anyone. Though Swen did show us Gale with a kind of clown face (using some paint picked up at the circus I mentioned).

As folk have said, that tends to be the term used here now, and iirc piercings are on the same tab. The icons only show markings on the face. Though as an aside, I did notice an option on the character creator to hide clothing, so I guess I could have checked to see if it did affect other parts of the body. But I didn’t! (We don’t have that in EA do we? I’ve not noticed it.)

Well remembered. So that might mean that there are 2K in the game as a whole, and 500+ interactable NPCs out of 1K in BG itself. Or that there are 1K interactable NPCs in BG, and 2K including the crowd. Dammit, still not conclusive! Except that either way it’s a hell of a lot of NPCs!
