Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Annoying Portrait Art Bug

Just recently I came back to BG3 after having paused playing it shortly after the first full release (already played the ea version, too). Because of the many bugs at release and the several big patches, which came afterwards, I waited to play again until now.

Unfortunately I've encountered an annoying portrait art bug. During character creation and the prologue everything is alright, but somewhen during Act 1 the correct portrait art in the "inspiration" screen switches to the default Tav, instead of your created character, which is very much disappointing and frustrating. Please fix it!

I've tested it with a different character, too. This portrait art bug just overwrites your character at some point in the inspiration screen.

This is how my character looks like


The mc is replaced with this during the course of the game

I have the same thing. It's a bug, why isn't it fixed? It didn't happen in earlier versions. Appears after receiving the first inspiration and saving the game.

Hello! Could you confirm if you're still experiencing this after installing Patch 7 (with no mods applied)?

Hi, not the same person but I can confirm I have this bug too, and I have never had any mods installed. Steam, PC so auto-updated.
