Wallpaper request and a conspiracy theory...

I finally got the time to try Siege of Dragonspear and I love it so far (got my Paladin to coalition camp, but then my restarteritis kicked in and I wanted to become a Bard x_x).
After playing it and finding Corwin awesome (my favourite new character ^_^) I was wondering if you had any wallpapers for SoD or are planning to create some?
I looked but couldn't find any.. =/
Aside from Corwin - have I mentioned that I think she is awesome?- I really like the characters expansions of Jaheira, Khalid, Minsc & Dynaheir. I needed to get used to Glint, but he is fun too (for me the player, my Paladin is troubled with him
) I'm going to try a darkish party with my Bard (I'm not sure I will be able to part from Corwin though =/ ).
Oh! I also like the few scenes with Imoen! They strengthened my feeling that Imoen is a good natured and (slightly) more restrained version of Neera =P
Aside from that I noticed something huge:

After rereading some lines of the "Hooded One" I noticed that he seems to know *very* much about what happened in BG1, seems to know what will happen in SoD and I had the feeling that he even knew some stuff about BG2. That made me thinking.. Iirc BD said that Bioware had some "ideas" for the time between BG1&2 and the Irenicus arc is the true highlight, while the ToB part has some plotholes and other problems.. The reason for that is: ToB is pure fiction. In truth Irenicus succeeded with his plan, but did not become a god but transported himself into another dimension.. I assume he sold his (and the Bhaalspawns) biography to Bioware -with some D&D flavour- to get enough money to start a live here and plot his return. Since the story of SoD fits so well, it seems that Beamdog hired him again - but they did not. Irenicus is a mage -a skill that could translate well to programming- and he is pretty buff, so it is obvious who Irenicus truly is: Trent Oster! O_O

I did only play through it two or three times though, but that was partly because I somehow got it much much later then SoA ^^ (I loved SoA and replayed it so much that I memorized the entire script
I was sad about Viconias ending, I prefer happy ends.. -which is part of the reason I'm scared of actually playing through it again.. x_x
I mostly remember that the pacing was pretty rushed, I mean you took less time to defeat the 5 most powerful rival Bhaalspawn then you needed to defeat Daevorn or finish the Underdark..
I think it just wasted a lot of potential, so I would love an expansion around it, but I will take an BG3 too
