There is one thing really still bothering me about minsc, on his portrait he is bald, but his paperdoll isnt!... they at least could have worked on some more detail for the NPC's... imo... and why arent there women with long hair in the game?

because the infinity engine was never intended to handle as much detail as is already included?

although there dont seem to be any pressing technical concers that would prevent alternate paperdolls for NPCs. i dunno, laziness, or did they just not expect you to take his helmet off very often. i dunno. roll on NWN and the Aurora engine.

Why is it strange that Viconia's last name is DeVir?

It's strange that someone didn't even bother to spend 5 minutes to think of an original Drow house name.

And heres something Weird about DeVir.... In the Drow Pub on the 2nd floor in the big cage are a few DEVIR's but When I told Viconia to talk to them.... nothing.... not a cry for help from a fellow DeVir.... no help from her.... nothing..... I mean even if she is an exile they would cry for Help [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The Long Hair question is very answerable, long hair gets in the way in a battle. That's why Jaheira and Aerie and Nalia all have braids, and Mazzy has Dreadlocks. Even Imoen has one braid.

The longest hair is Viconia's, which is down to her shoulders. It's the same with the guys, either it's short, or long but with braids and/or dreadlocks.

I mean, you don't want to be fighting 5000 orcs and all of a sudden your hair is in the way ;C)
