If you bought your games from Steam, just fire up the client and the beta should be there.
If you bought from Beamdog, contact support to get a Steam key and get the beta.
If you bought from GOG, cry silently and hope noone notices your pain.
I have the steam version but I don't see the beta @_@
Edit: Did some googling and found the access code required n_n
Going to do a Black Pits run with the new content I think.
Edit the second: I CAN HAVE PINK HAIR ON MY GNOMES
So I post another ones. Anybody counts how far we are?
Michael, Human Ranger that will be dualed to cleric later.
Ursus, Dwarf Fighter/thief - The Backstabber
And Beleth, Elven Beast Master (First Beast Master of Hero of Thousand Faces?). Give Beast Masters some love. She dualwield clubs and shots with composite longbow.
Note: All classes, races, and portraits are subject to change. General theme of the characters will prob be the same. Also removed Race/Class restrictions with Bg2tweaks.
There is a lot of hype for the Hero of a Thousand Faces, but don't forget about the Penguins, Rectangles, and Fruit! I can put those wallpapers into the main menu GUI.
Penguins, Rectangles and Fruit we can only do one each, so it's only possible if we get enough different people to post theirs. Hero of a Thousand Faces is possible to do with a few dedicated people.
If I ever do an evil run, I'll probably use something along the lines of these:
Wonder if Dee is more "Curses, why did I set that 500 goal, all this counting is frustrating!" or "Yay! Look at all the participation in this thing!". I hope it's the latter, though I have this funny image in my head of him facedesking while chewing on a pencil in frustration.

Thanks for thinking about me. Nice incentive poster by the way. I'd love to contribute, but nowadays I'm playing on iPad only. As such there probably isn't much I can do at this point, correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm still following up on all exciting changes though. Good work from developers and engaged players alike to make this great game even better.

Hero of a Thousand Faces
My signature character:
If I ever do an evil run, I'll probably use something along the lines of these:
Character Sheets:
Nina, the Ranger
Kordin, the Wizard Slayer
Iak, the Kensai dualed to Mage (someone wanted to see some dual-class characters, right?)
Shona, the Priestess of Tyr
Com'Atmii Bro'o, the Sun Soul Monk
Erisa, the Sorceress (also does trading stuff)
Great work everyone keep it up!

Also, great portraits! Would you post that last batch in the portrait thread, please?

We've only got a few more days to get another 250 character screenshots. Deadline is the 31st. Keep going, everyone!
The deadline is before the 31st (we don't know what day), the patch will be out before SoD.
It is? Well, we've got even fewer days left then! And yes, as @Shandyr correctly pointed out, we've got 240 to go
I'm going to do some BG2 ones now.
