A portrait mod for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and EET that improves the look and consistency of recruitable party NPC portraits, with a strong focus on making EET runs feel more cohesive.

Latest release on GitHub

What it does

The main component replaces portraits for 36 recruitable NPCs from BG1 and Siege of Dragonspear with enhanced BG1-style art. Optional components let you:
  • Add Isandir's classic custom PC portrait pack
  • Remove NPC-assigned portraits from the player portrait picker

The mod works with vanilla EE UI, LeUI, and Infinity UI++.

Highlights
  • Sharper, more consistent portraits across BG1 and SoD companions
  • Three portrait sizes per NPC: in-game, character sheet/inventory, and Infinity UI inventory
  • Lore-minded touch-ups, such as halfling ear fixes and white-haired Viconia
  • More noticeable reworks for characters like Imoen, Jaheira, Faldorn, Viconia, and Xan

Install
  1. Extract the mod into your game or EET mod folder
  2. Run setup-BG1StylePortraits.exe
  3. Choose the components you want during installation

Recommended install order: after content/NPC mods, InfinityUI

Roadmap
Future releases are planned for BG2 portraits, portraits for NPC mods, and expanded custom PC portraits.

Credits
Thanks to Wombat, Vasculio, DosEquis, Isandir, and the EE modding community, especially for ALIEN, Argent77, Bubb, CamDawg, DavidW, GraionDilach, K4thos, jastey, Pecca. Without their effort there would be no sense in modding the 30 years old game.

I am very open to ideas, hate, feedback, and I am willing to improve the mod.
