Is Oskar's quest reward painting bugged?
I received a quest reward for helping out Oskar with the ghosts, and he offered me a portrait of myself as a reward. The painting is of Jaheira though. I've seen other posts showing the painting depicting Gale and Astarion. Bug? Oversight?

Randomized

Yeah I just finished the quest. The portrait is completely randomized.
I tested a few things though: You can acutally get as many portraits as you have party members. Just talk with Oskar again with someone else and he will draw a new painting each time.

First I thought "fine, I can savescum and just let him paint everyone once" but noooooo, whenever you go to camp, the paintings get randomized again and the WORST part of it: The first painting you got (for me, it was Gale) will overwrite all other paintings after leaving camp. So now I have a total of 5 Gales and 1 Jaheira and as soon as I leave camp again, I will have 6 Gale portraits. Leaving camp again will result in 6 Wyll portraits, etc.

You can't even collect 1 of each D: a bit sad about this tbh.

All this time later and it is the same disappointing nonsense. It is clearly stated that the painting will be of you...
How hard would it be to just give us a painting of our character? You can get a whole statue made of yourself. Well, I guess the statue bugged out and changed positions and clothes but its still me.

The only way to get it to work properly is to dismiss every party member but your TAV to camp (if that is the portrait you want) before you have him complete it.

The last time I bothered to complete this quest, the picture changed back and forth from time to time from my one of my party members to my TAV (and back again). I never figured out how that worked or what caused it to keep changing.

Has anyone considered this is what makes him such a "great" artist?
