Inventory paper dolls/character avatars

I'm just wonder if @TrentOster would be interested in doing improved character avatar/paper dolls for the BG:EE inventory. I always found it a bit disappointing that when you checked the inventory to equip new armours and weapons that you can acquire the art of the paper doll made them all look fairly the same. What made it more disappointing was when you would click on the armour and see a great piece of art that represented them and the paper doll just didn't do it justice. I'm just wondering if we can get more detailed avatars in the inventory, ones that show better representations of the armour and equipment instead of a change between different colours of armours lacking detail.

I know that there will be no big redo of the characters and enemies in main game itself, but I wonder if it's possible to upgrade these at least.

    1PP mod is going to be implemented into Enhanced Edition. It basically ports paperdolls from BG1.

    That's a shame. I was hoping Beamdog would at least be able to redo these and show the armours closer to how they looked in the item description menu.

    This is the one thing I am disappointed with BG:EE. I hope with BG3 they upgrade the graphics enough to do detailed armor and faces. Now I'm not saying a full 3d camera because BG wouldn't be the same without an isometric viewpoint. I do at least want some detailed armor as it would distinguish characters a little more.

    I'm recomending to see "List of things that can't be done".
    Besides, it's not a brand-new game. It's enhanced edition. Old, kickass game re-relased to be even more kickass.

    Can't be done, sadly. We wish it could, and so do the Devs, but it can't.

    Keep this in mind if they ever ask, "what should we do with BG3" ;)

    Sort of. Except all the helmets are strange versions of BG2 counterparts.

    Good idea. Though personally I would mind if it went 3D, but still played just like the previous Baldur's Gate, like keep the fixed tactical camera and the interface and gameplay the same, but have the characters and maps in 3D.
