Welcome aboard and have fun!

It appears in manuals and online, and I swear I remember playing a character with it before there were any expansion sets. Am I hallucinating or did it disappear? I love that portrait! >.<

Edit: gah oh no.. it's like that blonde elf portrait they "improved" is it? Why oh why would they remove such a gorgeous piece!

Post by: IDii on February 14, 2007, 07:51:50 PM: Yeah it's still in the original game files. Though they replaced it with another portrait in HotU.
Looked it up and that portrait is called "po_gn_f_06_"

So you can extract that one from the original NWN files and either rename it or keep the same name. If you do keep the same name though, everyone without the portrait in their portraits folder will see the other sorcerous gnome portrait though.

I only have the Platinum edition of NWN now so I couldn't extract the old files, but I managed to find the portrait on a great big French site, called the Dark Wind. I think Layonarans might know all about this site b/c I recognize many portraits from the pack on the French site. In any case, it has an awesome collection, with some beautiful portraits, and some questionable ones too (as usual). I make linky just in case. Go to Ventsombre (http://www.ventsombre.net/all.php)
Go to the Gnome Sorceress portrait (http://www.ventsombre.net/pnwn2.php?nomimg=inc/images/portraits/gn/po_gn_f_501&nomzip=po_gn_f_501.zip&aut=0&s=f&act=&out=)

Would anyone seriously consider using a portrait like that? I'm glad you finally found that portrait you've been looking for. Now maybe you'll stop screaming at me about it. P?
