ThancredLux Posted May 11, 2024 Share Posted May 11, 2024 what does it mean? from release til patch 4, portraits were static, and grabbed the starting gear plus how the character looked. with patch 4, they changed so, that every time you level up, or use the mirror, the portrait changes to reflect the changes made on the character cosmetic wise or gear wise. there is one tradeoff to this, which is that head gear was disabled, meaning, that if you use circlets or play as shadowheart or even as just a companion, once you level up or level her up, the circlets and in case of shadowheart her circlet disappears from the portrait, do to the tradeoff mentioned at the start of this sentence. thing is, i dislike this tradeoff, liked when portraits were static, specially because one, i use transmog mod and two, as i know some barebones modding, i can edit the starting equipment from any class so when i finish character creation, it reflects what i changed thus, the portrait shows what i like, but, thanks to larian and patch 4, my changes don't work anymore and i'm stuck here with trash portraits changing my character, every time i level up or go to the mirror, and yes, i tried polymorphing, respecing, mirror, etc, nothing works and the portrait doesn't reset back to the first one when i start a playthrough. my request would be, that hopefully someone can provide a mod that reverts these changes, specially for player characters and shadowheart.

ckx777 Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 Agreed. It's a minor annoyance and not sure why it was changed but I personally like when the portrait updates to reflect the current gear choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
