The new portraits are looking really nice, these little things is what makes the game great.

Awesome artwork! I'm impressed. But a question: How do you manage it if someone has multiple conditions e.g. Poisened+Cursed etc.?
Maomor
I recall that Wiz8 only had 4 portraits (dead/alive/sleeping/speaking) despite having at least as much conditions as MMX. Maybe they also thought it was overkill to create portrait expressions for each condition. They just substituted them or didn't show any at all. Instead they placed a icon next to the portrait which indicated the topmost affliction. Sure it's nice to see the affliction directly on the portrait, but maybe too many similar expressions looking similar will make it confusing too?

Super!!!!
Maomor
To be honest it's a devil's kitchen: e.g. make a expression for e.g. "Hurt" which has a blood spatter on the face - then you must continue this blood spatter on any "subcondition" (hurt-asleep, hurt-paralyzed, ...) too, otherwise it looks weird, when the portrait changes. I think that's why Wiz8 did not add any blood spatters on the faces and stayed to very "neutral" expressions. Because once you start adding this kind of detail you're in hell ;) ..., so I'd understand if you would reduce it...

if character regains conciousness, will all previous character negative conditions be healed or will they continue exist (until healed by spell, potion or temple) like it was in MM6-8?

Multiple conditions will probably be shown like in the old Might and Magic games. The worse condition was shown. Something like dead>knockedout>paralyzed>stunned>poisoned>cursed>weak.

Amazing, this is a great idea! It's such a great thing you guys take the time to listen to the M&M fans. I think you guys did a great job editing the portraits. It doesn't need to be an completely new artwork. As RPGGUY said, it are the these details that makes this game great; it adds a great deal to immersion.
warriorr10
And about the double expressions with blood etc. I don’t really mind, it was like that in might and magic anyway and I would rather have more expressions rather than less because of those difficulties ;)
Mirae11
I still think that statuses should be more distinguishable! Make poisoned more green and weak more weak.

When dead, the party member can be resurrected, right?

I'm really happy this has come through. Thanks guys. also I love the cheeky grin on the dead face. it is like a little taunt for letting your characters die.

For the feeblemind effect you could just programatically blur the normal image and for the unconscious effect use the stunned image adjusting its overall color by saturating the red channel programatically.

That's damn great ....
Will they be animated while they speak too ?

Suggestion:
1) Normal condition: Default Expression
2) Stunned=Sleeping=Paralyzed=Unconscious: Default with eyes closed
3) Cursed=Poisened=Weak=Feebleminded: Default with violet face (using a mixture of "cursed/poisened" expression)
Then deuplicate each of the 3 expressions above with a blood spatter - so they can have these conditions while being hurt or not hurt.
Then it's overall 6 expressions +DEAD then. Then it wouldn't be overkill, and it would look logical at any situation :)

No eradicated? I suppose I could live without eradicated condition, it is a pretty nasty one:P
Animeman73
Just a pity there's no eradicated expression. Oh well, I suppose I can deal with it. Just keep the game in the tradition of the other Might and Magic games. As it stands this game looks very promising.
ericcarver
Lots of expressions would be fun... but only if one can tell them apart. The above beautifully rendered dwarf has SO much detail already that the differences are not easy to see. Expressions on the older, dare I say more "cartoony" portraits, were more obvious. (And some were quite funny. ie foaming at the mouth.)
AlexanderKH74
I like expressions, but where is INSANE expression? (when character don't sleep for a long time or from strong enemy spell). Where is DISEASE condition (it's not a poison, but disease from animals, bad potions or enemy spells).
AlexanderKH74
Also you can add FRIGHTENED (spell from undead) condition
AlexanderKH74
I think it wold be cool if you add NEW conditions like BURNED (fire spells), FROST (ice and water spells\maybe winter?:)), ELCTRIC, SHOCKED (air spells), WET (water spells, swimming) and DIRTY (earth spells)
AlexanderKH74
Almost forgot! We want DRUNK condition too! :)
Exo84
Tilt heads on some of them would be nice cause some of them look much a like.

Please developers add normal stock at heroes. It is very important! ! ! I want to see artifacts on heroes in all beauty! ! !
AreYuDumb
Shame Ubisoft won't give you more money and it is mostly the art side of the game you guys really are struggling about that's why the portraits will be limited and the paperdolls won't be available. Anyway looking great!!
Kalthean
Like others have stated, some are just too similar. Personally I'd prolly go with an icon of sorts along with expressions. You know like the voodoo doll with a nail for the curse spell animation like in one of the HoM&M games.
Regardless I think there should be more distinction between conditions.

What about random expressions? (yawning, looking around, smiling after landing succesfull hit, frown when missed, etc.)
Kho-Kho23
Overall they all manage to portray their relative conditions. Some more variety in facial movements would be a blessing but its the nature of the industry to place constraints on everything, otherwise we would probably spend years creating face expressions, so its not your fault. I will miss the drunk :S insane :P afraid :O and stoned (cant think of an emoticon for it) faces. And finally, I think he looks a tad too happy to be dead. But its only my opinion so who cares.
DarkyWorker
Great to see so many facial expressions. But it is not enough characters to display things.
Frankyliu
The art designs look good but not exaggerated enough. They really look very similar (For example, why the dwarf still looks so angry when getting weak?). In this respect, I think they are worse than MM3, MM4 and MM5( Because you know what's happened to the mates by just one glance in MM3, 4, 5). Sorry but I really think that. Btw, I personally like the gravestone with R.I.P for dead more.
And will you fix the bug that unconscious teammate can still talk when getting hit in early access game?

Yeah what a about make heroes speak in combat, like attackkk, i goin kill you , and speak it they selfs.. or when get hurt, ouch i hurt. i think need better facial it hero speaking i dont see much diference in that facial i think Frankyliu got point they are all so smilar, but a voice speak personality of each hero goin help too..

Hello ! I haven't read all comments ,so its possible this question have bean asked. Do the character inventory will look like it is now in Early gam or will it be like 7 and 8 ? I really would like to see it like in 7 that you can see items. That was only thing I dint like. All rest was very good !

How about this expression for Feebleminded.

Sorry, but from the looks of things, your artists didn't seem to try very hard with varying. I mean I get it, it's hard especially with that level of detail, (but personally I think I speak for the masses, if not myself, that the huge level of detail, whilst appreciated and very well done, is also unnecessary) but the thing is, hurt and poisoned are the same expression, just coloured differently. Asleep and stunned, same expression. Sorry but...good artwork, lazy variety :/
