Portrait Pack DLC

[Taltos]

Does anyone know if the portrait pack DLC will also change out the character portraits attached to the dialogue screen? My one disappointment when importing my own portraits is that the Inventory screen portraits and face portraits on the left side of the screen directly clashed with the dialogue portraits. And I could not find a way to overwrite those with my own images.

If the portrait pack changes BOTH types of images, that would probably be worth the investment to me.

As it is officially supported, I don't see why not. But I'm not sure that anyone could give an absolute answer.

if they really only release 20 faces it isn't really worth it, you can always download pictures from deviantart

Yeah, it's a dumb DLC idea put out by dumb corporate types at Paradox, but you should probably still buy it if you have the money and support Tyranny.

This.

Not really sure why PC Gamers praise Paradox, they have some of the worst dlc crash-grabs around.

Most games now amount to £1000 of dlc, that are basically snipped of assets, they are terrible.

I was going to point at the Nexus. ;)

This is definitely overpriced considering it's just 20 portraits. The silver lining is that it should be possible to use them in PoE but then again there are tons of portraits available online for free.

Garbage.

No offense... but you can make your own portraits pretty easily... I did, and it "fits" my character. Even with that said, it really should be an option during character creation to simply take a "snapshot" of your character. I find it truly frustrating that the portraits included with RPGs very rarely fit the character you create. It is a simple request, one that Wasteland 2 and MANY other games have done.

wasteland 2 limited character creation wasn't that great, most of the people in 3d looked like meth addicts

With all due respect, you missed my point entirely. Simple fact is, the ability to take a snapshot of the character that you created, rather than select through portraits that do not match, is a very easy thing to make as a feature in a game. As I said, many other games have done this.

Thank you for your input. Fact is, in this game you can't take a snapshot, and the included portraits in most cases do not match your character. In Wasteland 2 you could take a snapshot... even though the characters look, as you say, "like meth addicts".

My point is, in one game you can customize the look and portrait representation better, and in another game you cannot. It isn't like there was some mystical ability for the Devs and programers of Wasteland 2, due to that feature also being present in several other games. It is not ground breaking technology to include it... but at this stage of game engine development, it is lazy to not do so. Offering a Portrait DLC, as nice as they may be, I am sorry, is insulting. Especially when the portraits do not match the character you are able to design.

Holy sh*t they are actually charging money for this?

First time in all my years from Baldur's Gate to Neverwinter and everything inbetween and onward that I've seen or expected payment for something like this, let alone for a mere 20 pictures.
(Most free compilation downloads I go through are in the 500~ portrait range)

I think these guys are a few days late with their April fools joke :S

To their credit, Paradox has done this type of thing with Crusader Kings 2 and Stellaris (both of which I absolutely enjoy). These are simply "cosmetic" DLC's, which mean that they supposedly play no real role in the actual game, other than... cosmetics.

I do take issue with not allowing snapshots during character creation, but I have beaten that horse until it ain't getting up without sugery and a walker :)
