Heh. There's an opposite gender version of most the stock BG companions' portraits in one of the threads here. Makes sense when you need someone to identify that belt and don't want to shell out 100G for it.
@Silverstar I foresee a problem if that cavalier was created in the last slot. One of the really annoying things about Black Pits is that it ignores your set party order and formation. When you get teleported into the pit, the character that was created first will be closest to the enemy and the one created last will be farthest away.
@Greenman019 Yes it's a known issue, only a few people managed to get Grand Master. It seems that bugged achievements differ from people to people, I, for myself, can't get either Friends of Volo or Lord of Murder in addition to Grand Master. What party/setup did you use to get those?

Yer it's odd , they triggered fine for me. I was solo sorcerer for Volo, canon party for Lord of murder.

Yes, you can tell us what exaclly character do you have when you get this achievements. Maybe there is something with race/class to get it. I can't get Lord of Murder, Friend of Volo and Grandmaster.
"Hero of Baldur's Gate" I get
when I "accidentaly" killed Sarevok in Duke Palace.
(I was trying to do a suitably defiant-looking face, ok, don't judge)
p.s. Where're all my other lady gamers at??
Apart from Nemesa, they're all Shadowdancers, hiding in the shadows... Nah. You'll notice that few people overall have uploaded a picture of themselves, regardless of gender. Can only speak for myself naturally, but this sub-forum being publically viewable might be the reason, information/privacy control and all that.

But we need selfies before we can clear milestones
@Dee, is the release date (31st March) the deadline for completing all these milestones? So we can't unlock them after the game goes live with SoD?
And for Hero of a Thousand Faces, are we limited to one post, or can I upload as many characters as I have ideas for? (there are many...)
Correct; once the update goes live, the Roadmap feature will be over.
For Hero of a Thousand Faces, you're welcome to submit as many (different!) characters as you like, although if you find yourself doing nothing but creating characters for the Hero milestone, you may want to "look at your life, look at your choices".
No; we know which achievements are unreliable (there's about four of them), so if you manage to unlock all but those four, go ahead and post your screenshot and we'll count it.
I'm seeing not a lot of people going for the achievements in BGII:EE, though. Only one Collector's Edition will be given away for BG:EE achievements, and one for BGII:EE achievements. If you want to increase your chances, I'd aim for BGII:EE.
I should probably stop slacking and do some of these myself. I hate making selfies, though!
@Dee: If we get to the 25 selfies milestone, is the lucky person going to get picked randomly, chosen by the artist, or voted upon? And will it be the same pic as the selfie, or do they get the chance to send in a more suitable portrait pic.
((Just curious here. If I do get around to send in a selfie, I would really NOT want to be picked! :P))

Our artist will choose from the submissions the one that they feel they can work with the easiest. (If you don't want us to use your picture, don't submit one. )
We may ask the lucky subject to take a new picture in different lighting, but we'll sort out those details when we get there.

Huh. Opposite of me then. I would absolutely love a baldurized™ picture of myself if I uploaded one.
Beamdog should make a "DLC" to get a custom baldurized portrait added to the game. Hopefully that wouldn't be against their WoTC agreement to not sell merchandise. I'd probably pay three figures to get an official portrait of myself into the game.

Now that portrait really scares me!
Still not working for me.
@Dee does that disqualify me from the OverAchiever milestone?
So this is what I almost always play. Conjurer. Not sure why.
Penguins, Rectangles, and Fruit
Windows 10. Works almost fine.
Over-Achievers Anonymous
Was a long one but I pretty much done it. I got them all except Grandmaster which seems to be bugged? @Dee is this a known issue?
Yer it's odd , they triggered fine for me. I was solo sorcerer for Volo, canon party for Lord of murder.
Hero of a Thousand Faces
Meet Zephyr, my new Shaman!

On it! (once I finish work for the day)

We might be invisible right now, but that doesn't mean we're not there, working in the shadows.
And hard work it is.

Me tooooo! Maybe we should commission one of our lovely forum artists, if we don't reach the milestone for an official one in time.
p.s. still hoping we at least reach 25 selfies before time runs out
Only a few more to go before the first milestone!
