    I installed it and they all look pretty cool, especially Sarevok.

    Just my 2 cents: Imoen looks older than she should be, and Jaheira looks to young. Minsc reminds me of Bruce Willis :)

    Edwin, on the other hand, looks REALLY good.

    In all cases, it's just MY opinion of how the NPCs should look like. The quality of the portraits is so professional it's impressive. Thumbs up.

    They all look WAY too much like Celebrities for my liking... except Jaheira, she looks good (even though she's supposed to be a Brunette, a la BG1)

    Sarevok and Edwin look pretty cool. I like them. Jahiera's is quite good aswell.

    Haer'Dalis' looks alot like Orlando Bloom!

    Sarevok looks an awful lot like Vin Diesel, though it does seem like a good fit. Minsc looks a little too friendly for my tastes.

    The quality of the portraits though is excellant. I've got to say that Imoen and Edwin both look exceptional, but I really don't like those horn-things or whatever on Viconia's helmet. And of course GodRules44 is right; Jaheira is supposed to be a brunette.

    All in all, aside from those minor quibbles, they look great.

    The Comparisons:

    Sarevok-Vin Diesel
    Minsc-Bruce Willis
    Haer'Dalis-Orlando Bloom (look at the face)
    Edwin- Tom Cruise (or whoever) in The Last Samurai

    That's about what I've seen =D

    I can't say that I see Orlando Bloom in any of them.

    At second look though, Edwin bears a striking resemblance to the guy from American Choppers.

    Well, it looks like they based the portraits *heavily* on celebrities, which is most evident in Hear'Dalis' portrait. Hollywood characters are not really something I would like to see in Baldur's Gate... still the quality is good, except for Imoen, the angle doesn't really match and makes her head look warped, besides that she looks too old. By the way, Minsc looks more like Christian Slater, if you don't focus on the bald Bruce Willis head.
