Edit: in addition to Ardulace, the lesser demon lord, Phaere and Solaufein, this will revert the portraits when the party reaches the Underdark exit.

If it's too late, or if it's too much work, then never mind, but my feeling is that, since the party is underground while in drow guise, the portrait backgrounds should reflect this, showing the Underdark environment. I would decrease the brightness (and perhaps make a corresponding change to contrast) to simulate the surroundings, too. There are various light sources down there, including torchlight. I support Miloch's mention of changing hair color, as drow typically have stark white hair, while some have silver hair. It's fine to leave each character's gear as-is in the portraits. The crucial differences are to make the skin resemble obsidian, and the hair white or silver.

Just some thoughts with the hope to make this very cool mod an outstanding mod

Thank you very much, Wisp. Will update shortly.

It's not too much work per se, but it's too much work for the value it'd provide, IMO. Besides, background remaining as it is further emphasies the skin/clothing change.

I support Miloch's mention of changing hair color, as drow typically have stark white hair, while some have silver hair.

See my reply to him, nothing's changed since.


Glad you liked it.

Attached the updated version here since Downloads section uploading is not working at the moment.

Thanks again, Wisp.


EDIT Updated local file in miscellaneous released downloads to last version.

@Daulmakan

Any chance you will add Neera, Rasaad, Dorn and Hexxat drow portraits? It would be great

I don't think the mod's compatible with BG2EE, so it wouldn't make sense to just add them. 

 

As with Item Pack, I haven't 100% ruled out making it compatible, but I'm not planning to (try to) do it anytime soon.

[Giuseppe]

I see. Thanks for the reply

[Isewein]

Ah, one more for my compatibility list... too bad!
