Which portaits are used by NPCs?

[Raggle Fraggles]

Reolloed quite a few characters in Kingmaker because I ran into a doppelganger. Trying not to do that this time, aside form using the Kingmaker portraits, which of the Wrath portraits are used by NPCs? A couple of cool Monk looking portraits here, but wanna make sure they aren't already used in the game by an NPC

I think a lot of them are. Though if I remember correctly, even in Kingmaker if you took a NPC's portrait they're supposed to have an alternative portrait they use so you're not doubling up. That's what happened when I accidently took the half-orc Aldori guy's portrait for one playthrough, anyways.

As a note though, I don't think any of the monk ones are used. There aren't any monk characters in the game that pull from the PC portraits.

[Raggle Fraggles]

Yeah, I just really wanted to know about the Monk ones haha, thanks!

Also, I didn't know about Kingmaker switching up portraits. I just noticed in the prologue the Aldori swordswoman lady was a portrait I could have picked so I just assumed haha

There are six that I know for certain are used.

Helpfully, five of them are bounded by the two default tiefling options in the WotR portraits. In between the male tiefling choice and the female tiefling options are 5 significant/major NPCs who show up pretty early in the game. The 6th is part of a possible party member's questline (and apparently a possible party member?) it's the black dude with spiky armor and a big falchion.

None of the Kingmaker portraits are used by actual characters you'll encounter, although a selection of portraits from both the WotR and Kingmaker pools are used for "Generals" in the Crusade gameplay.

Dang, that 6th one you mentioned looked like a cool one to run as an Armored Barbarian or something

Just get a portrait mod to be honest. It's ridiculous to have so many of the portraits used by characters in game. They should at least let you know.

Nothing is more annoying than picking a portrait to be your character, and meeting yourself....

[Frostfeather]

Yeah get a portrait mod. There are popular ones on Nexus and it'll take you about 2-3 whole minutes to get it working.

After taking another look in character creation: I think I have seen all of them ingame. As part of a tribute towards the artists for sure. Pretty much all those which are not used for NPCs are used for generals.

Why not picking one of the many hundreds of portraits from countless collection made by fans extra for Pathfinder digital games?

This game is still in a cycle of being patched. Kingmaker took like a full year and every update broke various mods, I'm not trying to break the game on the next patch over some portraits lol

[Hobocop]

Portrait packs should be safe since they don't actually alter any code. It's literally just a bunch of image files that go into the same folder that you'd use to add any other custom portraits.

Adding portraits isn't a mod though. You don't update it. They can't break (or at least I don't see how Owlcat could even accomplish that).

[Cutlass Jack]

Fun fact. All the portraits used by NPCs have alternates. So if you take the portrait used by Anevia or Irabeth for example, their portraits change to a different one.

So pick the one you like. The game has it covered this time.
