Custom Avatar. I need somebody to help me change my avatar.

I have the pic and its ME related.  Im just not computer savvy enough to follow the directions people have posted.  Ill check back here to see if anybody can help.  thanks

  • Nope.  Completely separate.


    Probably quicker to use Google with "custom avatar" and "BSN" as your search terms.  (I know how, but... it's complicated!)

  • For BSN the only way I know of is to use Dragon Age Origin or the Dragon Age Origin Character Creator to upload the image to BSN.

    When you create a character using the DAO Character Creator it will create two image files, one .jps and one .png (148x148); the .png file will become the avatar when uploaded. The trick is to save your custom avatar as the .png file and to make it "Read Only", so that DAO Character Creator cannot save the actual character's avatar over your image.

    Normally I'll stay offline in the Character Creator until the image is ready to upload, then log in and upload the files.

    I can take a little while for the avatar to appear on BSN, so don't worry if you don't see it right away.

    Is this for BSN or this forum?
