Hi just thought that it would be fun to have a topic were we here in the forum could get Baldurized :)
One version of how we think our real character would be translated and one version of our dream version of ourself.
(I scanned a photo of myself and painted on it in photoshop)

What if the 'real' me would be in Baldur's Gate (without my glasses :) )?

Can't wait to see your version :) I am using another modified version of my portrait on my Let's play Baldur's Gate with a Swede at viddler were I am playing as a Druidic Sorcerer. I am also planning to start a Let's play Baldur's Gate with the 'real' version of me with the non buffed stats. Then I'll be a Bard since that is the closest option for the 'real' me :)

I would love to see your version :) Well at least you have a hamster running in the wheel. I only have a rusty wheel in my brain without any furry animal running in it.

-Okeeey... erhm, guess it's about time i changed my nick or somethin', haven't really been a very efficient (silent) lurker for a while now.

Here's my "real" and dream-pic's, respectively... although, the dream-one isn't really my dream... -Now that would be VERY disturbing indeed. Becoming a sneaky murderer is luckily enough not among my very few (if any) real ambitions.

However a lot of my PC's have turned out a little something like this guy. (Perhaps i should talk to someone about that?)

If i hadn't already gotten myself to retarded on sicilian red wine and dark chocholate (my newest after-work routine) i might actually get that... and if i did, chances are i'd agree. As it stands however (or as i dont -under, that is) ...care to explain?

One of Quayle's quotes is "I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-A-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T!"

Honestly, on a forum that is based on BG gaming, everyone should know this sort of basic stuff :P

-Sorry, You're right of course.
He was just never among my favorite party-members. Only let him tag along once, that i remember... and not for very long i'm afraid. He's simply no match for a Tiax or a Vicky... or even a Xzar.

Yea, because I am not really sure what intelligence involves. Is it logical thinking, or the result of an IQ test (wich might involve logical thinking). Maybe me questioning what intelligence is justifies my intelligence stat of 10 :)

BTW, i currently don't have any proper image-tools, so my pics don't really get very "baldurized"

What if the my dream version of myself would be in Baldur's Gate (also without my glasses :) )??

Yea that is the problem, I do look smart in them but when I open my nouth and start talking then the picture is the opposite to smart.


The party has expanded, we will see if the adventuring road brings us more companions. So far: a bard, assassin, a deity wanna be and a ranger:

The peasant non-buffed party so far:

Beware, my 'peasant non-buffed' is really ugly X( I used a photo as reference. I've written the stats thinking that 10 is the score of an average human.

I really love the peasant non buffed painting. The expression and the technique used makes it worthy on hanging in one of the finer art galleries. Even though it is digitally painted it still reminds of a classical expressionist painting. It is the best I have seen from you so far. Could be that I went through an art school in the old days when I was obsessed with portrait paintings.

That's actually Simpsons-quote, said by Homer (of course). Unless I'm mistaken it was actually a screw-up by Homer's voice-actor (Dan Castlesomething) that they decided to keep in since it was so very, very Homer.

I'm totally going to Baldurize myself as soon as possible, just need to find my camera first.

I know it is a Simpson's Quote. If you want me to clarify, it is said when he got into college, as he burns his high school diploma. ;)
