In the latest Pillars of Eternity update we finally got a character portrait in a good resolution. It looks gorgeous!
So, no doubt about it: when Pillars of Eternity are out, portraits from that game will more than suit BG.
By the way, the name of this portrait is "pe_portrait_female_human_580" which leads me to dream that we'll have MANY portraits in Pillars of Eternity for PCs and NPCs.

Edit: assuming that the number 580 is what you were focusing on when you mentioned mentioned many portraits
1. Being a generic portrait, "human_female" instead of a character name, and
2. The fact the if it's called human female it's not unreasonable to assume that each race will have a male and female portrait.
@TJ_Hooker Thanks for that. No matter, the portrait is so good that even if there're few, they will more than make my day.
At least a lack of romances will be different than what bioware's doing today. I think DA2: Electric Boogaloo had far too many, and none that were very interesting. They really didn't amount to much more than give gifts until sex pops out.

They are big pics and may take a while to load so I've posted links rather than embedding the pics in the thread.
Incidently, this DOES explain why women get offended when I throw teddybears at them.
So, with BIG HUGE MASSIVE thanks to http://forums.obsidian.net/ , all fans of Baldur's Gate, meet all 31 current beta character portraits. Each portrait is 210 x 330 pixels (in the game you'll be able to use custom portraits of your own as well if they suit this size):
I can't even choose which portrait I like the most. They are superb!
And now we can make at least 4 (without repetitive versions of the same person) full different parties in Baldur's Gate using brand-new portraits from Pillars of Eternity.
BTW, the portraits in bottom left of gamescreen (those you see while you play) are 76 x 96 pixels.
I hope that as a compensation they will make many difficult and interesting quests:)
Not inserting it to the game because they are afraid of getting bad reaction ? I think it a lousy excuse, they can get bad reaction on the game itself or about ingame stuff no matter what they will do, but I guess those guys are lacking romantic hearts!!!!!
As for Hexxat the guys here took a risk and I don't see anything bad about Hexxat being a lesbian even if I don't romance her or playing with her in my runs I think the risk they took is a good thing because they weren't afraid to take it and make something different for a change.
Anyway, back on topic. Out of that haul I like this Moon-godlike portrait the most:
They really do feel like the AD&D Air Genasi from Planescape.
Well, with the exception of that croissant-thingy glued on their faces.
However this petite Aumaua lad is very lovely as well:
Kind of feels like Minsc, only way more handsome.
And lol that Anumaua picture more handsome then Minsc, nop sorry I don't think so.
