WHAT IS IT?:
--------------------------------------------------------
This mod adds small portraits to speaking NPCs in BG:EE including the Siege of Dragonspear expansion.
The big world of Baldur's Gate gets even more beautiful!
The goal of this mod is to add small portraits to nearly all speaking NPC in the game.

Portraits have been selected to hopefully match the race, class and situation, age of the the game character. The mod can be installed without having any pre-existing portrait mods installed first.

If you would like to suggest additional characters that should have portraits, changes to existing portraits, or have art you wish to contribute or give our permission to use, please do so in this thread.

If any of the portraits are not to your satisfaction due to quality or you feel that the portrait does not
match the in game NPC, report that as well for potential inclusion in future updates. You will have to
start a new game to get the portraits on NPCs you've already met in game although future NPCs should have their
portraits. This mod patches over 300 creatures, future updates from Beamdog may require reinstallation of the mod if it modifies any of those characters. Basically, if there is an update to the game, it's probably a good idea to reinstall this mod.

Sources of the pictures include:
