okay... this seems like a noob question but how do I change Imoen's BG1 portrait to the BG2 portrait? I already have the images, so where do I put them and what should the file names be? I tried placing them in all 3 override files so I'm thinking that I may just have the file name wrong.

Put the images in a portraits\ directory if you want to manually select the portrait in the character screen. Can you actually make these NPCs change portraits in the game? Also, Imoen automatically has a portrait change when you transition frmo BG1->BG2 unless something went wrong...

I was trying to chage Imoen's BG1 portrait to her BG2 portrait while still playing BG1. Since I installed BGT, I was wondering if I was placing the override files in the correct directory and had the correct filenames.

I just figured out what the problem was though... I had the files saved as jpeg rather than .bmp files... so nevermind. me=idiot
