    I finally made some time to sit down and get into this game when I noticed that the in-game avatars are those of BG2. Is there any way to change them back to the BG1/IWD1 look??

    Not as far as I know, no. Unless you go into Near Infinity and changed them back one at a time...

    Why do you want old avatars anyway? Aren'T they cruder? If they were better, why did the game change them? Hmm...

    BG2 avatars ?

    I can't say i have noticed that, gotta look at it soon.

    (agree that BG1/IWD1 avatars looks much better than BG2 avatars.)

    But I am still asking, WHY? What is the difference?

    Now I compare the IWD ones to BG2 ones, there is not that big difference. Fighters look alike, mages are slightky different with heavy robes, but to me BG2 one looks cooler.

    Got one pixel productions mod, but it didn't install as the file was corrupt so I didn't install. Should I download it again? Will it really make big difference?

    Then again, my IWD without expansions look crude. Avatars are so crude, they are not flexible like in BG2, the way they move, the way they attack etc. and they walk like bended down slightly. :p

    waaaah! i noticed this too. just installed heart of winter, and all avatars and graphics seemed baldur's gate 2-like. i liked the IWD I (and BG I) avatars much better. say for example, the fighter avatar in IWD I with full plate armor on appears bigger on the shoulders and sturdier. i don't like the fighter (fighter/paladin/ranger) avatar look in HOW, which seems smaller and unwarrior like. hehe. the druid look is also lot cooler in IWD I compared to HOW. hmm...tis surprising i didn't complain of it when playing BG 2 way back.

    i don't know but it's annoying me. i shouldn't have installed it, but i really would like to play the expansions. again, is there any way to change them back? :(

    Someone needs to make an IWD1-GUI, like BG1-GUI for BG2 and Tutu.
