@Medivh1234 You are seeing insult where none is intended. You are commenting on the low voting figures on your poll, I'm simply giving you a reason for this by pointing out the voting options are very narrow and that the majority of people disagree with all of them - hence don't vote.
Why does every option have to be about how attractive she is? Why can't I vote for "her portrait is fine, it fits what I now about her character"? I voted for the first one, but I honestly couldn't care less about how attractive she is. I just want her not to suck as a party member.
Why does everyone have to be attractive? She is a person, dont like her, dont pick her up. What would happen with originality if you were in charge?
What would happen with _originality_ if I where in charge of the _remake_ of Baldurs Gate?
I dont know mate, maby i would make a portait you like ? maby one you would hate? and it wouldnt be anything less original.
And maby i would make it in a way you didnt like and you would create a forum poll to see if the other fans agreed with you ? or maby you would not care at all

I get so owerpowered in Baldurs Gate so i usally just pick the people i like, but thats just me
If you want everyones opinion, then you'll need to privide better options than that, such as "its good quality, but I dont find her perticularly attractive". How attractive I find her doesnt have much to do with the quality of the portrait.
As other people have pointed out, you're trying to force us to vote for two separate things in one option. There are two variables here: Is the portrait good quality? Is the portrait attractive? You've lumped them together in options 1 + 4, but separated them in options 2 + 3, so the options aren't even consistent with each other, let alone consistent with the actual range of possible outcomes from combining two questions into one poll.
I find the portrait to be high quality. Certainly better than anything I could do, and comparable in quality to the character portraits in the original game.
The person depicted in the portrait is a bit plain, but not unattractive. I think that's fine, because there are plenty of real people who I would also describe in that way. As others have mentioned, everyone doesn't need to be attractive. That would be a little bit unrealistic, even for a fantasy setting.
I didn't see a poll option for "High Quality Image, Character is Plain but That's Okay", so I didn't vote.
To make the poll a bit more complete, you should add [Bad quality, attractive] and [high quality, unattractive]. Ideally, you should bifurcate the poll, as you are asking two separate questions.
So op, if people also don't agree in your poll, what then, are you gonna write an article about how everybody else is wrong and you're right?
I have now (stupid as I clearly am) participated in what is probably THE dumbest (and stubborn) discussion I've seen in years! I do respect your oppinion for what it is, but this is.... I don't know, never mind lol
That Viconia portrait is from bg2. This is the bg1 Viconia: Not so hot now, eh?
Wat are you talking about? Maybe just me but I find her more attractive in that portrait. Sure the lightning is different, but there is also more emotion.
FWIW I completely agree with the sentiments expressed here that Neera's looks are unimporant (although she is romanceable). However thus far 86% of respondents to this poll do feel that she is attractive. The consensus is that she is attractive. So no worries about having to protect Neera's feelings, lol.
Where is the option to say you think it is high quality, but you really don't care or it doesn't affect your opinion if the picture is attractive or not?
It's a portrait that goes well with the BG theme, but it's not for me. A bit too plain, and will be replaced by a custom portrait of a babe in skimpy bikini probably. :P

Incidentally, does anyone know where to find that large "head-to-toe" picture of Neera?
Because it's a thread/poll about how attractive she is.

(There, there, Neera... I'll protect you from these shallow mean people...)
This is a video game, I don't care what they look like.

Haha, I always pictured Jaheira as Shakira ^^
... I didn't say my style was more valid
I really don't have any strong feelings about Neera's portrait. It's fine.
