    Probably old news to most of you but one of the gnome portraits in the game is of 19th century american general Ambrose E. Burnside. I'm not an american history buff(I'm not even american) but I know this because he had sideburns named after him.

    Has anyone else seen actual historical people's portraits in the game?

    No, but I didn't know that. I'm going to go check it out - I'm skeptical - but if its true it's pretty cool.

    I think human's portrait with dwarve's beard reminds me of some scientist.
