Nothing against the artist, they're obviously highly skilled, but this (and other) character art is the biggest barrier to me wanting to try BG3.

I really don't like it and have a hard time putting the reasons why into words. At the very least, the sneering smile, the hand gesture.. It's all too much. Feels like a Marvel movie poster.

    I think they're all in the style of D&D portrait art which is always/often trying to portray as much about the character as possible without resorting political cartoon labels.

    A movie promo poster is not too far off an assessment.

    I also simply dislike Astarion. I have never understood the appeal.

    In my evil run he ended up being pretty fun. But he does usually end up dead in the nautiloid crash region otherwise.

    I brought him on a goody good playthrough and regretted it.

    well that's the point isn't it? it's not a Bethesda game, you don't gotta catch'em all and there are consequences to your actions
