I much preferred the original portrait to the one in HotU. Is there any way
to get it back.

There are also other ones which have been changed, such as the female elf
with braids and a tatooed face, for the worse in my opinion. Is there some
way to excavate the original?

It's possible someone has already posted the originals on NWVault.
Search the Portraits section. If not, get NWNExplorer from NWVault and
use it to open the original .bif files. (Open chitin.key from within
NWNExplorer.) The portraits are in textures_02.bif. You can extract them
and place them in your /override folder, and they will be used rather
than the new ones.

I repost my previous reply:

Same here, liked the original much better.

Actually, the original portraits are still there, but they get overriden by the
new ones.
If you would like to use them you can open your 2da file and extract them.

I started a thread in the "Custom Content" forum a while ago on the same
subject, you can read it here:

Hope this helps, it helped me at least ;)

Thanks, there seem to have been more changes than I had noticed!

I am trying to download NWN Explore now, to extract them.

Is there any way I can have the old, and the new. I'll try just renaming
the old ones I extract, but I'll come back and howl for help if that doesn't
work!

Couldn't you just take the pictures of the old ones you want, and make
costum portraits from them?

Just rename the old ones once you have extracted them and put them in
your /portraits folder. They will be available only to you as a PC, and
won't be seen by anyone if you play online.
