After several years of not playing BG1, I bought the new BGEE version. The ease of use of the new game, coupled with the better graphics, the new kits and NPC's renewed my desire to play the game. But I wanted to refresh even the way the old characters from BG1 appeared in BGEE to add to the freshness of the game.
For one, I often had to swallow hard to play with Coran, because I didn't like his portrait at all. In addition, Khalid's portrait wasn't too inspiring to me and it added to the feeling that he wasn't really ok as one of my party's Fighters.
But I set out to changing the portraits of some of the leading NPC's to get a visual experience that would be more pleasing in the new BGEE. I particularly like a Portrait I found of an elf in armor, and I felt it tended to fit Khalid's personality, but in a way that inspired a new respect for him. Now I know these things are highly subjective and many may disagree, but I'd like to show it below for those who might like it.
Please let me know what you feel about it.
