Hello,

I request to swap the page images for Baldur's Gate franchise page and the first game page. The one used in franchise is Bhaal's logo from the first game and it was changed by Throne of Bhaal and the one in the first game is Minsc and Boo, the serie's mascots. It makes more sense having Minsc in the franchise page.

I'm not familiar with those games at all but that doesn't seem unreasonable. Anyone that's played them?

While they are the most popular characters in the series, I don't know if Minsc and Boo would be the best thing on the franchise page. I would also prefer the box art for the first game page as that would fit with the image on the Baldur's Gate II page.

EDIT: How about the map from the first game for the franchise page?

I also prefer the boxart.

Not sure what would be best for the franchise page, but Minsc isn't good.

If we do go with the box art then we should probably also change the Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal image to its box art

Changing the first two games to box art sounds good.

The franchise page could also be the four disc box art. Example. Minsc and Boo are opinion based anyway and not relevant to people who haven't played the games.

That could work.

That or simply the logo could work.

The four box one is good but may be redundant if the individual game pages are changed to box art so the Bhaal symbol could stay there.

If we're going with box art, we migth as well go full circle.

If using box art is the general consensus, then I'm happy to go along with it.

This has gathered enough dust; let's go with the box art on all the game pages and then maybe run a crowner for what will go on the franchise page.

The clock's up on this one. I've swapped the former pic out on the first game's page for the box art and tagged the page; locking up.
