    Baldur's Game characters that can't be created in-game

    There is a mod in which Mazzy becomes a paladin called: Believe it or not: Mazzy the paladin. Pretty sure that she becomes a Paladin of Avoreen. There is of course not the same problem in making Dwarves into Blackguards.

    Baldur's Game characters that can't be created in-game

    I know that I'd have to edit him/her in EE Keeper or similar, but is there any role-playing reason why I shouldn't make a dwarven paladin or blackguard. (or any other race for that matter.)

    If you could sit down with James Ohlen to discuss his work on the original Baldur's Gate games, what would you want to ask him?

    There is a mod for this. Unfinished business two, which tries to tie up the loose ends that SoD left hanging.

    Looking for a game suggestion (open ended)

    I love the Baldur's Gate games. You can play them in so many different ways depending on whether you are good or evil. With EE you can now play a Dragon Disciple. You can have your own party or use NPCs for your party and the number of mods available widens your choice of gameplay even wider.

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    In times past I edited portraits in Photoshop to make them into followers of Tempus: these being my most successful, but most being pretty poor. They took ages to do and were produced from these; https://awborandmadness.fandom.com/wiki/Kelvar_Rumnaheim...

    Co-pilot's excellent depiction of a lawful evil cleric of Helm for my Baldur's Gate game. All that I had to supply was the symbol of Helm. The AI aligned it correctly without prompting. I suggested the location the red eyes, and his weapon. It will make excellent portraits. :) Perhaps I should...

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    This is how I asked Co-pilot to draw an image of a mage. Using the face of the attached image draw a mage who is standing on a rough track leading to an elevated castle. He is grasping a quarterstaff which is one foot longer than he is high. The design of the quarterstaff should be similar to...

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    Co-pilot seems to draw an image in accordance with instructions much better than Duck.Ai. That is not to denigrate Duck.Ai as much as to say that Co-pilot is pretty good. Co-pilot also makes helpful suggestions concerning how to modify an image. Concerning the Duck.ai, it does do pretty good...

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    Since in Baldur's Gate the protagonist is supposed to be young, I was pleased that co-pilot was able to use my selfie of about ten years ago to look as I did in my twenties. I'll use that as an illustration in my narrative and also for creating the portraits for the game. If you want the...

    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    I've just realised that I usually wait until level 3 to take on Karlat. Much more sensible. Wisdom will end up at 18 which is useful though not essential for wish as you can use potions. The only other slot that is not 18 is Intelligence. What advantage does higher intelligence have? I know...

    The Candlekeep Annex: RPed Baldur’s Gate No and Low Reload Adventures

    I have just had a personalised portrait made with AI and decided to have a run-through with the character. Though I like the portrait, I was less impressed by my run. I was killed by an assassin in Beregost when still only level 1! :( It's a long time since I had such a short run! Despite...

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    I was wanting portrait that would be good for Icewind Dale and this is what co-pilot came up with. I gave it a photo of myself as a starting point and am quite impressed. It changed the aspect of my head to presumably fit a pre-existing image. and here is another one. I'm so pleased to...

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    If you want to use any of my photos on this thread as backgrounds for your portraits, please feel free to do so. Some of the ones of mountains behind clouds are quite similar to some of the Icewind Dale images. If you use them, I would be interested in seeing your results...

    I have found the answer to my own question regarding resolution. On Beamdog Billy yank said that making the portraits Icewind Dale sized (L=420x660 M=169x266) was fine for BG. I'll check it out. Checked it out and portraits of 420 x 660 are fine.

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    I have started using copilot which seems quite good and so far I haven't had to pay anything. I am very happy with it. If you have a portrait with a plain background you can ask it to add a background such as mountains (great for Icewind dale) a dungeon, castle, etc. With the free ones you may...

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    I have noticed that even if I get a high resolution portrait, that when imported into Baldur's Gate EE I unfortunately lose much of that resolution. For the game the portraits are all 330 x 210 bitmaps. I am wondering if that limitation is still there in EE. That information would be helpful...

    Thinking of playing a goblin in BG

    When you become heroic, the reputation changes to: "That is worth a penny." That makes some sort of sense.

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    I am perfectly aware that the second one is a decent halberdier. The first one was my initial request for a halberd which it clearly is not. To get a halberd, I had to specifically ask for long handles. This version of AI clearly didn't know that halberds ALWAYS have long handles. No doubt in...

    So pleased about AI producing portraits that were previously in short supply: and good ones too.

    One problem with AI is that it is NOT intelligent. Here is a dwarf wielding supposedly a halberd. -------------------------------- After telling it to replace the axe with a long handled halberd, I got this result. Clearly AI doesn't know what a halberd is!!! :mad: It clearly thinks that axe...

    Thinking of playing a goblin in BG

    I was clearly not using the right AI. Now I have A very good resolution image some of which is lost in the game. Just about perfect. Not a very nice guy. Due to his lack of strength, he had to rely on the Watchers to survive against an Improved Shank. [I have given Shank and Carbos...
