p.s. Has anyone noticed they've kinda repainted the original portraits? Or is it just my eyes? They seem to be less... psychedelic than they were before. Softer somehow?
Has anyone else recently been able to unlock Grand Master in BG1? The new patch seem to do nothing. I noticed the people who were able to unlock it are from the time of older patches. Their achievements unlocked the 7th march and the 16th of march.. perhaps a newer patch has broken it that's why no one else can get it who tries?
Im nearly 100% in both BG1 and BG2 but what im stuck on atm is the Grand Master unlock for BG1. I even went as far as to test out a fighter and some fighter kits in the BP. Level them up to max with the Console codes and place 5 points into each proficiency one weapon at a time.. Still no unlock... how it broke I have no idea :O
I might be wrong, but doesn't using the console cheats disable Steam achievements?
I read somewhere in another thread from Dee that it didn't. Guess its not helpful that I dont remember where that was said.. But if it is the case and my memory is mistaken or that change was implemented recently to make it not work.. It dosnt explain why my normal play though didnt unlock either. Unless old save files or imported characters dont unlock it. But it would mean I should test it more if thats the case.
Edit: Adding more Screens to help the Roadmap unlocks!
Hello everyone! Is it only me or blindly taking (good) selfie is actually pretty hard?
Hero of a Thousand Faces
Meet Erwald, axe/crossbow speciallist! For such a good dwarf he is definitely travelling in a bad company ^^. What I can say, ways of destiny are mysterious, especially when you're a bhaalspawn. But don't worry, he won't succumb into darkness, as long he has Imoen at his side.
Penguins, Rectangles, and Fruit
Witness the power of Windows 8.1! Aaand winter wolf. I think my party is doomed ;D
Alright, this is probably the last custom party I'll post here, because as of right now, I'm out. Don't start cheering just yet, though. I'll keep on posting individual characters to do my part. (And by do my part, I mean force an unlucky artist at Beamdog to draw a new character portrait.)
Anyway, the party. These guys are my favorite. I've pulled them straight out of retirement just to show them off, as they're from an ancient time when BG2:EE wasn't around yet. I had to redo their portraits and everything.
As a side note, I was rather surprised the EE actually managed to load up the vanilla save.
Hey, if halflings and kobolds can fight side-by-side, we can do anything!
I bid you good day, and introduce Klaus Sveldegard, Paladin of Helm (Cavalier kit). Running BGEE 1.3 on a Mid 2013 Macbook Air 11" OS El Capitan 10.11.4
Also tempted to take Durim Runeheart, Dwarven Defender trained in the ways of dwarven combat by Reevor and Arkanis.
Mostly I just make them up myself. ^_^ There's also a random name generator called Behind the Name that I sometimes use if I'm looking for something specific - like a Norse kinda name for a Skald, or something like that

Edit: Added Durim.
I'm super thrilled by the enthusiasm, but milestone progress will only count submissions from people running the beta.
And just a note to everyone: there have been at least two selfies that have been submitted and counted erroneously that were either not showing the beta in action, or were a fabrication entirely. These selfies were part of the counts before, but they will not count toward the completion of milestones. Please be mindful of the roadmap's rules!

Oh no! Do we still have at least 25 acceptable ones? Someone get the selfie stick out, quick!

More characters! (In spoilers now, so as not to break @Dee's laptop and/or mind. Don't say we're not good to you
@Dee confirmed in the FAQ thread that the console does not disable achievements: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/717399/#Comment_717399
Working as Intended!
My bad. Carry on

Definitely not just you! Welcome, and thanks for helping out ^_^

Also:
Oh yay! It's time for chocolate! ^_^
I realised that, up to now, I've exclusively made female protagonists; so in the interest of remaining completely impartial:
I think I even have 'Final Saves' stashed somewhere...
I think I'm starting to go slightly mad. I can't think of any good names now, and that last one had me laughing hysterically for about 10mins

Here's a cleric/ranger I'm using while attempting to slowly modify the record screen UI.
