That was intelligent.
But anyway, none of the texture packs have really thrilled me so far. I wish the portraits looked more like medieval drawings or something like that. Sort of like how in Shogun 2, the characters look like they were taken out of Japanese prints.
(Copypasta from another thread)
If you look at the generic Western and Muslim portraits, you'll notice they are a bit more detailed (and "better") than the portrait pack DLCs, which tend to have smoother skins. However, I think this is more so because the Western and Muslim portraits were made with the original game, so the artists working on those portrait sets had more time to work on them and refine them - as opposed to the portrait DLCs, which I assume have to be made in a shorter amount of time, hence why the artists don't have as much time to work on them (or it's entirely different artists working on them, quite possibly). Some might also notice, for instance, that the portrait DLCs don't differentiate between young and middle aged characters in some cases, and this I think gives more evidence that the artists working on the portrait DLCs have less time and resources at their disposal. Still, I like them though, a little unnerving as they can be.

Has to do with the alpha levels and uploading the screenshot, IIRC.
Hmm...I really like the new Russian portraits. Granted, I fiddled longer than usual with the character creator to get her just right in my eyes but very pleased with the distinctive look in the end. /shrugs
Not bad but there is a visible decrease in quality with these portraits. The ones on the "cover" looked equally detailed and worked out but the ones in screenshots don't.
I think it's all about the cheekbones and jawline. They are mostly masculine. If some archeologists discovered their skulls they would conclude that they were no women in Russia.
Just downloaded the portrait pack. All the Russian women look very masculine, some comically so. I noticed the same thing, to a lesser degree, in the African portrait pack.
I think that's where it stems from too. Would be nice if it could be fixed. The men look fine, but the women don't look very much like women.

This lady's grandson will rule on a Catholic Roman Empire stretching from Dublin to Basra. I can forgive her jawline.
That is, if she stops spewing out girls. That could be a problem. Then we'll talk about her looks alot more.
Well thats odd because the sterotype is that all Russian woman are hot
A lot of it is the accent. Find me some black-haired 20 something from Russia and let her say whatever she wants in Russia. She could talk about hemmorhoids and I would neither know any better nor care, it'd just be hawt.
Am I the only one that think that all of the portrait packs looks much better than the vanilla faces? Also the Russian one is really good from the game I have played.
