-- How to Change NPC Portraits --


Here is the procedure for changing the portraits of the Non-Player Characters, NPCs, in the Infinity Engine games. You simply need to make or download from somewhere the portraits you wish to use for them and make sure they are the proper size, bit-depth, and file format type. Please note that any portraits you copy from this site is already in the proper format , size, type, etc. for this purpose just like for regular character portraits.

Now having the images you want you simply reference the charts below to determine the proper names to give each image and then rename your image files to these names and put then into the Override folder of your game. That is all you have to do and then when you have the particular character join your party they should use the new portraits you have set for them.
