Hi all hope you are well and enjoying your games.

I have been trying what feels like everything but am unable to get my custom portrait to show up in nwn2.
I would hugely appreciate if someone could do a step by step walkthrough of the process.
I'm generally terrible at anything to do with modding.
I believe that i have to save it as a .tga file but cant figure out how to.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated

I use Faststone image viewer https://www.faststone.org/download.htm
Take the picture you want as a portrait and right click on it and select save as.
Where it says "save as type" scroll down to TGA Format.
I usually make mine 256x400, but it is not crucial.
You can right click on it and then Edit, to crop it or resize it if you want.
Then click on save.
Then place it in documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\Portraits
If you don't have a portraits folder, just create one.

Thanks so much for the fast and precise info. I will give it a try now.
Again thanks for the info
