And just a note to everyone: there have been at least two selfies that have been submitted and counted erroneously that were either not showing the beta in action, or were a fabrication entirely. These selfies were part of the counts before, but they will not count toward the completion of milestones. Please be mindful of the roadmap's rules!
I expect these two to be the culprits. Regardless of which two pictures were invalid, that places us at a total of 24:
Since then, Escarche, Illathid and Cdx have posted the following Selfies, bringing us to 27, I think. Not 100% sure, as @cdx is only partially visible. Perhaps @Dee could confirm if those count or not?
I don't think the following images are considered valid entries, as they're technically not selfies, so I did not count them. @Shandyr and @Sjerrie may want to do them properly if they want to be on the safe side.
In other news, @Icecreamtub seems to have gone in hiding. I guess in the end she did not consider herself pretty enough for a chance to adorn our screens with a representation of Charname in her image, which is a shame.
@Pecca: Only since the 2.0 patch, and I find it clashing with the rest of the UI. Opinions differ, of course. However, perhaps this is getting a bit off topic. I'll keep an eye on any new UI threads from you in the modding section.
I missed something because I've been hearing about Beta and road to Version2 forever on these forums and I see others I know utilizing the beta, but I could never find a simple link to the mirror server where I was supposed to download 'Road to V2'. I've been chasing my tail for weeks. I am so frustrated and annoyed, please Beamdog, can you give me one more link to a discussion on these forums that has absolutely no link or understandable instructions to a mirror server/V2 download.
I guess at this point I wait a few days for V2 general release.

That is assuming you have the Steam version. Without the Steam version, you're unfortunately out of luck.
Time that I contributed some more to Hero of a Thousand Faces. Six ladies from a far away land find themselves pulled into the Black Pits for Baeloth's amusement (note, some skin is shown, but nothing explicit):
I've been trying to see what the new advanced AI can do by starting an all-sorcerer party in BP and seeing how far they get without me interfering in battles. The result: not very far. But they're doing OK for AI, I suppose. If I start off the fight by hand-placing a couple of crowd control spells, sometimes they can take care of the rest on their own.
I'm a simple Beamdog client, although I did buy a copy of BGEE originally on GOG, but I liked it so much I went ahead and bought it again directly from Beamdog(along with all the other EEs), but alas I've never been a Beta. I am but a second class Beamdog citizen, not like the Steam elites.
Forgive my previous post, I never meant to cause disturbance or impugn my betters.
@Skarose: Theoretically, you could request Steam keys to go with your Beamdog keys, but since they're currently out for easter, and 2.0 is very close on the horizon, the new version is quite possibly here before you'd even get those Steam keys.
Know Thy Selfie: Pictured here alongside the sword of my grandfather, because when you inherent a sword from your grandfather you don't not take pictures with it.
My two signature characters.
Michael Delborn, a human fighter who will dual to mage at level 6.
Wulf, a half-orc fighter/cleric.
A reroll of a party I'm taking through IWD on my Kindle fire.
When a group of dwarves go out adventuring, they need a human along for arcane support. Hmm... one human and a bunch of dwarves, who does that remind me of?

Halfway page 7, Bengoshi counted 18 pictures:
At the bottom of page 9, Bengoshi counted 7 more pictures, for a total of 25:
Near the top of page 10, Anduin posts the following picture, along with some other pictures, for a total of 26:
(Note that these pictures were all in .bmp format, which is likely the reason they brought Dee's computer to it's knees.)
Right after, Dee confirmed this total of 26:
However, later on he rectified this, and indicated 2 of these pictures were not valid:

And a Shaman for another solo run, but mostly to test it's abilities (Nietzsche).

The hell is wrong with you, I should slap you for this false spreading of information.
I haven't sent a picture because I don't own the beta version of the game.
You already know that.
I swear by Selune if I get another notification in this Forum post, I'm going to implode...
My current Hero count: 383/500

I have no idea why Edea and Yew have buffs at the start of the game. Must be a bug or something.
Penguins, Rectangles and Fruit
Know Thy Selfie
Sorry for not wearing a tie.
I'm one of the culprits. I even started my post with: "I know it doesn't count..."
Know thy Selfie
For real this time.
I know, I'm an idiot for waffling this long, then buying it anyway.
I'll post some heroes after I vacuum the stairs.
A custom party for a BG2EE run...
Your t-shirt choice seems to have leveled up from 'great' to 'impeccable')))
Thumbs up!

Window's 10, and loving every minute of it.
EDIT: My first one was too bland, I like this one better.
Hey, we can add pictures to existing posts when we edit now.

I'm not a mathematician, but I think that means we have less than 100 heroes to go! Woo!
