The mangaka for Delicious in Dungeon, Ryoko Kui, did these beautiful redraw of all the Baldur's Gate portraits.

You can also use this mod to put them in your game.

"Tonight you dream of blood. Not of blood on a blade or the blood on your hands, but an ichor that runs as a torrent through the Realms. A flood that pours across the fields and forests. An ocean that floats you to the world's edge, and threatens to cascade off into the void." […] "The tide presses on, but you press back. Let the blood rage, as it will: you are in control of what is yours, and that is all you can ask."

In case anyone is like me and hasn't played BG1 or BG2, Mortismal Gaming has an excellent story supercut for both games that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Baldur's Gate 1

Baldur's Gate 2

"play baldur's gate 1 and 2", they said. "it will be fun", they said

I fucking LOVE how loyal the companions are to each other... and how their relationships are evolving with both each other and the player.

to all those people who think Larian is copying Dragon Age... well Dragon Age would never have this. where all the very fucked up companions who are in this shit together actually recognise that fact with common sense and they support each other despite any differences. Not only that BUT they recognise the similarities they have with each other and support each other based on that fact

Example: Astarion-Gale (how Astarion comments "he is a man of taste" if the player is a little annoyed with Gale and if player says that he wants to suck out magic lol Or when Gale is supportive like the "don't do it Astarion, it's not worth it, trust me, I know the temptation only too well" and so on...)

If this was dragon age then they would talk to each other like "how typical, ofc you are like this, dickhead" and trying to be helpful and supportive would be a 1 in a billion dialogue. they would only make shit worse for each other. and look... interpersonal conflicts could be a fun driving force of plot but in da it mostly doesn't drive the plot. they are just making shit worse for the other person even when it makes no sense and when they should be more friendly and understanding based on their own struggles.

Another example: Wyll-Karlach (their conflict actually does start the plot. it has a significance, it's not there for no reason. but even after that initial conflict they immediately become understanding of each other and supportive. they both dislike devils, they both want to escape from that situation etc. and they don't act like idiots who don't see that they are in this together. even though one of them tried to kill the other. one of them received horns because of the other. )

I could go on... but whatever, you get the picture. I just like this type of writing for interactions between characters.

#maybe people haven't played enough fantasy rpgs ... these two games are the same genre... of course they have similarities #besides #baldur's gate 1 #and #baldur's gate 2 #was made by bioware before they made #dragon age #so if anything they copied their own game and placed those dnd elements into their new series ... but bg3 didn't “copy” da as people clai #my posts #my post #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 mine #textposts #text post #wyll #karlach #astarion #gale #gale of waterdeep

[Elminster and Khelben Arunsen] proved to be worthy and capable receptacles of her power, but Mystra's other early attempts to invest her power in living humans were unsuccessful, and she came to realize that only a very few mortals were of stern enough substance to contain such power within themselves without being destroyed or corrupted. Even though some people aside from Elminister and Khelben may have possessed the requisite strength, it is possible that having lived for years prior to being visited by Mystra had set them on a path from which they were not able to deviate. Whatever the reason, the problem needed to be solved. To get around the difficulty, Mystra devised a plan to use herself as a vessel to breed individuals who could be nurtured and acclimated to her power from the very beginnings of their lives. For the father of these individuals, she picked the best example of human stock she could find: Dornar Silverhand, a nobleman and a former Harper who lived near Neverwinter. Mystra then possessed the body of Elue Shandur, a helf-elven sorceress whom Dornal was already attracted to. Mystra revealed her presence and her plan to Eleu, who happily and eagerly agreed to have the goddess share her body. Eleu had been reluctant, but under the influence of Mystra the woman became a seductress, and Dornal found his advances being suddenly returned with great fervor. Dornal and Mystra/Eleu were wed in the Year of the Drifting Stars (760 DR). The first of the seven daughters, Anastra Syluné, was born the following winter. Sylune's six sisters emerged at one-year interval thereafter: Endue Alustriel, Ambara Dove, Ethena Astorma (she prefers the name "Storm" these days), Anamanué Laeral, Alassa Shentrantra (known today as the Simbul) and Erésseae Qilué. These siblings have become known in Realmsian lore as the Seven Sisters. Dornal, who had been kept in the dark about his wife's true nature through the years (presumably because Mystra didn't want to risk losing his services), was disappointed and distraught by the time his sixth child was born; he had always wanted sons as well as daughters. More importantly, he was seeing his wife deteriorate right before his eyes. The strain of coexisting with the goddess all these years had turned Eleu into a withered shell - in essence a lich, clinging to life only because Mystra's power was within her. When Eleu was carrying the seventh child, Dornal consulted a priest who told him his wife had been possessed by a entity of great magical power. To spare both of them any further agony, he attempted to slay his wife's physical form by severing her head from her body. As soon he had done this, Mystra was forced to reveal herself to him, and she went on to explain her scheme. Just as she had worried would happen, Dornal was aghast at how he and his wife had been used by the goddess. He turned his back on the corpse of his wife, abandoned his lands and his children, and vanished into the North. Mystra bore him no ill will, and in fact protected him for the final 30 years of his life. When Dornal finally did meet his end he called out to Mystra, and the goddess granted his continued existence as her servant. Now known as the Watcher, Dornal Silverhand travels the world unseen by mortals on a continuing mission to locate candidates to swell the ranks of the Chosen and to identify possible threats to Mystra and her minions.

-History of the Chosen of Mystra (Baldur's Gate 1)

Hey Mystra what the fuck. This also creates an interesting paralel to Bhaal, who also foresaw his death during the Time of Troubles and thus went and had mortal children. (This is a different Mystra from Gale's Mystra, but they're all reincarnations of the preceding goddesses)

Woe to the one

Who boast in front of the gods

Woe to the god

Who is petty and jealous to mortals

I've decided to give oils in Rebelle another go. It's more of a cinematic recreation than what actually happened, but I'm really happy with it.

So Larian destroyed two of most loved evil-aligned characters from BG1-2 by making them quite the opposite of they was before.

Rebel and outcast from Underdark because of her unwilling to torture a child, Viconia became fanatic and kidnapper.

And Sarevok who NEVER worshipped Bhaal became his most loyal servant. (actually EVERY ONE LINE about Sarevok in dialogue file is insulting. Obvious contempt really)

What's next? Maybe someday we will get Neverwinter Nights 3 with Bishop, somehow torn from the Wall, as very proud worshipper of Ilmater and Ammon Jerro as big fan and successor of King Of Shadows?

I'd understand (not approve) if this was about hypocrisy and moralism, but in BG3 world isn't just black and white. We got many new complicated characters tending to evil alignment. But these two just look like they was written by despising author who wanted to make them dirty.
