New portraits in IWD:EE??

I was looking at the images from the Icewind Dale website, and it's apparent that new portraits were added. For instance:

The first portrait apparently comes from Baldur's Gate

I don't recall the first two portraits in the vanilla game

So are the Baldur's Gate portraits included, or are they just beta leftovers?

    Those 2 portraits are in IWD but maybe they were added with the Heart of Winter addon.

    They are definitely in IWD2. They may have been added in HoW.

    Indeed. I don't remember if they were added in HoW but I know that they were in vanilla 100%.

    Also, the Orc portrait in the first screenshot is 100% sure from IWD2. (IWD1 didn't allow you to pick half orcs as a race)
    Thus, i hope they' ll include IWD2 portraits as well by default..

    If this is true, it could also imply that Beamdog has acquired certain rights on IWD2 which makes me more confident about an IWD2EE.

    I feel butthurt about seeing BG portraits in IWD...

    How dare Beamdog force me to use them?! XD

    You can always replace them. I remember I played once or twice with imported portraits from BG&BG2

    The question still remains... will the IWD2 portraits be available by default in IWD:EE as well? Can anyone confirm this?

    I imagine the EE portraits will be available because the assets are already there.

    I'm easy, I don't think I've ever used default portraits anyway! :P I have SO many custom ones I can't keep track of them and I doubt IWD will be any different for me! :D

    Any new portrait should be done by Justin Sweet since he did the original portraits.

    Although I like to use custom portraits myself - and you all know about my attention to the Asian portraits - the original portraits in both IWD and IWD2 are so good that my first runs in IWD:EE will definitely include only original portraits. They are THAT good.
