I tried to refine the process.

I didn't really like it, it has a differnt tone than the base game, and it stands out. It plays more like IWD than BG. Also most of dialogues were cringy to me.

It's better in the second half, those big battles are ok.

It would be much better as a standalone game, or a side story to the main protagonist (for example if you could play some guys who were observing what the main protagonist from BG1 did, then went on to some adventure related to that etc), not something that is crammed between BG1 and BG2 and tries to retconn things

Example positive/negative prompts and settings for Viconia:

I posted that on Reddit an people harassed me there (literally) for using AI. I hope this community is more open minded.

I tried to both upscale them and make them look like photographs (closer to the original BG style). I didn't try to recreate those portraits exactly, I just wanted to preserve the general look & feel and convert them to something more photographic, while being creative.

I used Stable Diffusion upscaler (Ultimate SD upscale) + img2img + ControlNet for anatomy

I spent too much time getting those fingers to look at least kind of right ^
