I hope that the portraits will look better ingame than they've done in pictures so far.

At least the Arab ones will be an improvement regardless.

Still, I already feel a twang of nostalgia for the old ones. In the Vault of Old they go. At least now the Big Nose portraits of CK1 will have company.

A tip is to wait a little before buying. Like a couple of hours. GMG sometimes runs a day 1 deal that's better than the steam offer. One time I managed to buy a DLC from Steam, just to get a discount mail 3 mins later. :P

Unfortunately for some of us, GMG seems to only sell in a select few currencies. So it's actually cheaper for me on Steam. Harrumph.

I’m more excited that they added the new Italian portraits. I own the Iberian portrait pack and it just didn’t feel right.
It's not that appropriate to Iberia either, honestly, it's just a mediocre quality portrait pack. Arguably the worst.

Far from the worst. The worst are Mayan, Russian, Celtish, Norse and West-African, in order of most to least worst. The Mongol ones aren't particularly good either.

For reference, the ones I consider the best are the German, Norman, Tibetan, and Chinese ones, in no particular order.

I can't actually remember, were the Mongols part of the vanilla game or added later? Because if they're part of the base portrait packs then I guess they wouldn't count, they're not particularly good any of them.

Holy Fury is now on my list.
Looking forward to play it next week.

I'd forgotten about it somewhat, just grabbed the pre-order.

Holy hell! I didn’t think paradox could sell something that bad. Do you have a picture of the old potato Greeks by any chance? Google hasn’t given me anything so far.

Also, how could I forget the Persian potrait pack! That one is probably my favourite of all.

That's not my game, BTW; I've found it on /r/crusaderkings thread.

As for Greek potato faces, I've no idea, since I don't own any portraits packs other than the free ones/the ones that come with M&M.

Let us never forget the oldschool "Tangeringe-People" Mediterranean portrait pack.

Rest in pepperoni, orange basileus.

I actually never saw that one. Didn't have that DLC at the time, and like that guy above, I've also never been able to find any pictures of them.

It feels like the internet itself purged all evidence of them.

This page has some really small pictures with the old stuff
