Know Thy Selfie: One of our artists will choose from the submitted selfies and create a "baldurized" portrait to be made available to the community.
Heroes of a Thousand Faces: The pregen character will be created with a full set of gear specially designed to give the character a leg up. (Footnote: the character our writer created breaks at least one rule of character creation. Should be interesting.)
In addition, two players have posted confirmation that they have unlocked all of the achievements in BG:EE. However, an additional six players have unlocked at least 90% of the achievements, with the remaining 10% of achievements being blocked by bugs that have since been reported. We'll need to decide how to handle these cases (we don't want to deprive anyone of the chance to win because of one of our bugs, but at the same time, there's at least two people who have been able to unlock everything...) Stay tuned.)
Finally, we're only five survey responses away from the Kris Avalon AMA, and 45 responses away from a full-cast sock puppet reenactment of Gorion's iconic cutscene. This last survey's going to be up until v2.0 releases, so there's plenty of time for you to try the latest fixes and give us your feedback. The link is here.
It's getting to the end of the day for me, but I'll update the Roadmap graphic and the top post in this thread tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who's participated so far!
Only 399 more character screens to go for that sweet custom portrait! So close!
I've easily got, like, another 30-40 custom portraits itching to go through character creation! If everyone did a few more characters we'd be well within reach

Well with Grandmaster, it's a pretty straight-forward binary one. Not sure why it won't work for me but it's definitely bugged.
But anyway, didn't get around to Know Thy Selfie. Are the people who've only posted before the milestone cleared in the "competition" for a Baldurised portrait, or everyone who posts one until the release?

Anyone who posts a selfie is eligible. The cleared milestone just means that we've committed to making the portrait happen.

I think I might have an addiction of sorts ( and I most certainly don't need sleep anymore )
I feel kinda cheap getting most of the achievements since they weren't really "earned" in the beta ( mostly just from some of my old save files )
Lilliana has really proven herself , yet again, verifying that she's lord of murder, greatest runner of circles.

@Jairyanna You have some nice portraits there. I really like the art style of Frijda. Could you perhaps share that one? And where do you find all your pics? You have so many!
I am trying to find a nice portrait for a female gnome cleric/illusionist in a somewhat similar style to what is already used in BG/BG2. It is proving to be quite difficult. No female gnome love anywhere to be found . An added bonus of this thread is that you see some really nice portraits pass by every now and then .

That Hendrix t-shirt is kinda modern as well
Yes, but that's easier to cover up. I'll bet Duke Eltan wears his Silke "Sword Coast '68" t-shirt under his armor.

Okay! Everything's counted, so here's the updated totals:

I haven't decided how afraid of this portrait I am
btw, can we just take a moment to appreciate how awesome the new colour slider is?
Never before could I spend so much time finding *just* the right hair/cloak/armour colour to match the portraits. Wondrous ^_^
Ok, I think that's quite enough from me for one day! Off to bed
*raises hand* I am a lady under the raven mask.

Dont feel bad, after playing hundreds of hours myself over so many years kinda difficult not to take advantage of old saves
Yay! *waves*

I can only tolerate so many summons in a week.
