    This is SO similar to one of the gnomish portraits:

    I recall seeing a comparison between some male half-orc portraits and former Troika employees. Try to gather them all!

    And we all know rroyo was the model for Thorvald.

    rroyo is Thorvald, how else do you explain his natural affinity for tinkering with Arcanum related technology?

    That argument is close to being irrefutable, except for the fact that Thorvald doesn't really know anything about technology and is actually better off with some liberal use of the dark helm and full arcane gear.

    Right, off to find more portraits.

    Go ahead - Laugh it up.
    You'll be my age one of these days....

    As for my tinkering - What can I say; I'm a poor man's MacGuyver. :D

    BTW: What about the actors who did the voices?

    When I'm done planning my Tribute mod (which will be a MS Word behemoth when I'm done, rest assured), expect a multitude of PM's from me, rroyo. :)

    I'm pretty sure that's the creepiest thing I've seen all day Rroyo. Seriously. And by "creepy" I meant "awesome."

    I was curious about what different types of beards are called in English, searched for "mutton chops" or something on Wikipedia and ended up with a picture of that guy, immediately thought of one of the gnome portraits in Arcanum and created this thread. :)

    Funny story to go with that;
    It's also how we came up with the term, Side-burns.

    Well yeah, but yours has a larger Burnside and no Box of Fox, i.e. different.

    Wow that is uncanny. It's like they snuck into your house at night and painted your portrait while you slept....with your eyes open.
