Nonek Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It's an Elf, smirk or not it should be hated! 9 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

Monte Carlo Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I don't like the PoE portraits. Not a problem, as I'll use customs like I did in every IE game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztirual Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'll most likely be using custom portraits, not that the PoE ones are looking bad, I just enjoy customization! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheisEjsing Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I like all the PoE portraits I have seen. I never customize portraits in my first run anyways and it always results in me linking the original portrait with the companion. I save custom portraits to that wacky modrun later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartantyco Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'll be using Baldur's Gate 1 portraits regardless, so I care not one little bit. The only thing that ever came close to the BG1 portraits was Icewind Dale 1, everything in any other style is just crap. "You're a fool if you believe I would trust your benevolence.

Night Stalker Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ah yes, the Josh Elf. I am too going to use a custom portrait, because I it fits the character I have made in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjaamor Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Just for sake of the holy grail of balance, I'll chip in to say I like the portraits and am looking forward to using them. I may use custom portraits eventually, but unless my image for my PC is completely comprimised by all of them, I'll be running with the standard portraits for at least the first few playthroughs. 6 Other kickstarter projects to which I have no affiliation but you may be interested: Serpent in the Staglands: A rtwp gothic isometric crpg in the style of Darklands The Mandate: Strategy rpg as a starship commander with focus on crew management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leferd Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Somehow I think these are tangentially relevant regarding elf hate. The portraits themselves are good, and I could see myself using them should I want to create a puny and squishy elf.

Silent Winter Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I like the portraits I've seen, including the elf, but for a PC I usually just make my own (already made my druid one for PoE though it may get tweaked). I wonder if we'll have access to the portraits as separate assets (.jpg/.bmp) rather than having them only in the game code. That way I could more easily view through them all and also alter them more easily. (Perhaps this could be a little 'extra' like they have with the BG games at GOG - or is a larger version of the portraits on of the art-tier backer awards? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensuki Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) I don't like the modular portraits. To be able to do those they have to sacrifice a bit of quality of the final versions. The portraits is probably the only area of the game that doesn't have a consistent art style. Well they kinda do, within loose boundaries. Great portraits so far: The Godlike portraits, Kaz's early portraits, Polina's Kana Rua. Others are okay/average. Havent seen high enough res versions of some of the backer portraits to give a judgement yet. Edited August 18, 2014 by Sensuki 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zansatsu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I haven't seen one yet I like or would use. Not saying they are bad just none of the ones I've seen feel like they would fit any character I would make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
