Display a warning if you select a companion portrait.

Imo it would be nice if their was a warning when I select a companion portrait for my PC. 

^either that or the companion's portrait gets auto-changed to a different version.

(but that might confuse you on a replay :lol: )

 

I thought in PoE (final at least) we weren't getting to choose the companion portraits but were getting separate group for our PCs (?)

Well, there's 8 companions and they'll probably all have their own, unique portraits. If not, they'll just do what they did in the BG games and switch to an alternate portrait for the companion in question.

This is correct, player portraits are kept separate from companions to prevent those awkward moments in your travels.

    This would also be the case for non-party NPC's as well, I assume?

    Unfortunately there will be very few of those, but the answer is yes.

    I don't mind if there aren't too many non-party NPC portraits but please don't handle it like the below example which kinda ruined the whole experience for me:

     

    In BGII:ToB as soon as you get to Saradush this nice lady who cares about everyone and just wants to help so much has VO and a portrait.. 'little bit suss' I thought, 'not many minor characters have VO and a portrait.. there's something *off* about her.. Oh, it's Melissan, the main villain. Good. Glad we didn't give that away within 10 minutes of starting the game'.
