BG2:EE portrait and voice issue.

in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
I imported my Berserker from BG1:EE, but the Icewind Dale portraits are missing from the game as are the new voices that were added to BG1. Were these left out on purpose or will a patch address this?
And if a patch DOES add the portraits and voices, can I add them to my character at any time?

    You should be able to go to your character record screen (hit R) and then hit customize. From there either hit appearance to pick another portrait or sounds to pick a character sound.

    The issue is that the new portraits were part of DLC for tablet users so Beamdog is still trying to figure out a way to make it so that the game will recognise that you own this DLC.

    That said I'm not sure if you mean you were using actual (and adjusted) icewind dale portraits. If you put Icewind dale portraits (that you found on the internet for instance) into the portraits folder of BGEE then you will have to do them in the portraits folder for BG2EE before you see them.

    I mean that I picked one of the portraits taken from Icewind Dale and included in the Enhanced Edition of the first game, but those aren't in the portrait selection of Baldur's Gate 2. I'm playing on a PC.

    So wait. Do you mean you took one of the new portraits in BGEE. The ones that were created by the same artist as the Icewind Dale portraits?

    Basically my first two paragraphs above explain that problem. It relates to DLC and overhaul is working on it.
