Reflections Of Myth & Valor: A Portrait Pack by Mike Sass Releasing April 29th

[Julius Borisov]

Hi folks!

To celebrate Baldur’s Gate's 25th anniversary a while ago in 2023, we organized a Community Contest with O.G. artist Mike Sass to give our players the chance of a lifetime: to have their portraits transformed into the art style of Baldur’s Gate and added to the game.

A lot of fans participated in the Contest, and all of you wanted Mike to draw more than just 2 portraits. We summoned a Djinni, and it granted your Wish (although the Djinni certainly took their time), with the Reflections Of Myth & Valor portrait pack coming to Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on April 29th alongside free community portraits of the two Contest winners (separate download).

Reflections Of Myth & Valor will allow you to customize your character’s look and feel with sixteen brand new portraits representing a huge variety of classes, subclasses, races, and alignments that the Baldur’s Gate games are known for.

Please Wishlist the Portrait Pack:

I would like to thank Mr. Sass and Beamdog for this work. I was expecting just two portraits, now I get sixteen of them, it's wonderful, I'm really happy.

And to all those who are criticizing this DLC: no one is forcing you to buy it, keep yousing the portraits already present and/or the custom ones you find online. Also saying that all these should be free just shows how little you value others' work, and that really tells something about an individual.

Again thank you for all your work, I really wish there were more people like you in the industry.

It's actually 18 portraits: 16 in the DLC, and 2 as a free download.

Well said, Diaz, and yes, thank you guys so much! I love having more portraits, and they look stunning.

You should've included the two free portraits in the DLC as well. Not many are going to bother downloading a separate installer.

Maybe a small patch to add them? So everyone, even first time players would get them.
