Question About Character Portraits

[WingedLion14]

Just a question - I was wondering why the devs opted to base the portraits on the character descriptions, not the actors from the show. While in most cases it works out just fine (Robb Stark, Jaime Lannister, Robert Baratheon, Dany, among many others), some I find kind of ugly (Jon Snow, imo) while others I feel the actor has come to define the role so much I can't picture anyone else doing it (mainly Tyrion).

I don't want to sound complaining or anything; I'm just curious.

Well Sansa and Lady Catherine isn't well potrayed in the serie on TV , catherine is really well done but her looks should be even beter looking . Daario first one was quite good even if everybody hates him , yeah the actor came over as arrogant snob where you cannot have sympathy for. But that is Daario Narryss .

But if one person that really need to make you have sympathy for that is Sansa her looks had to be so extraordinaire hot, and lady like acting, that you feel 100% taken in.

So while book it is easy to write stuff, but in the serie try to find those kins of people !
You can write or imagine everything in your mind, still those people (actors and under a budget) still have to excist in real life

Look Cersi is hot in the serie (also in real life) the game cersi doesn't even come close.

oh, definitely I sympathize with the casting people for having to find the right actors (although on the whole, they've gotten everything right when it comes to characters that need to be good-looking actually, being, well, good-looking), the actors for living up to the ideals, and the mod devs for figuring out the best way to portray them

The mod follows the books, not the show.
