Can we insert custom portraits? How about modding in general?

[RelVleDy]

I haven't seen any details on this. I don't know if there will be a workshop feature, but because this is a PC-exclusive, I'm hoping we can at least open up the game's folders and find some easily accessible .png, .jpg, etc. to make adding additional portraits easier. Pillars of Eternity supported custom portraits, so I wonder if Tyranny will carry over this accessibility.

I love the original images, but I had someone else in mind for my villainous protagonist.

Edit: I discovered a big clue that custom image support may be included. In the released portrait images of Barik, Verse, and Lantry, their images are all png's with a size of 210 x 330 pixels -- the exact same as Pillars of Eternity. No way is that just a coincidence. If it's the same as Pillars of Eternity, I assume each Tyranny portrait also shares a smaller 76 x 96 image. I'm also curious if these portraits will share a similar folder structure of Pillars, which was PillarsOfEternity_Data\data\art\gui\portraits\player

It should be just like Pillars, I don't think they made any change on the engine

I hope so, seeing how I already have a head start on painting a custom portrait

Wow nice, you're painting one? That's commitment.

Also curious about sounds. In Pillars it was really easy to swap/change single lines of voice or sound effects. I hope it will stay the same in Tyranny!

More like futility and insanity Since I'm nowhere near the skills of Obsidian's artists, and my usual style is nothing like the portrait style I've seen so far. But it's always good to try something new

I still might end up doing some frankenshopping existing bits of portraits together to get the likeness I want, which is what I did in Pillars of Eternity.

Awesome, I see they released the Tyranny avatars. Very stylish.

Just wanted to share the custom portrait I did ... I hope they are usable ...

I recall one of the devs was asked about modding on a stream, and the answer was along the lines of "same level of modding as Pillars" so I imagine portraits would be in.

Very nice!

Brian said in one of the streams, don't remember which one it was, that the game will have the same level of support for modding as Pillars had.

I can confirm that directory structure in the pre-loaded folders. All portraits have the same sizes and file types.

Hmm, wonder how I can get my hands on those. I don't see a serial key on gog to redeem here.

You probably have to wait until you get your Steam key so you can sync the item with your forum account.
