gamerant.com:

A Baldur's Gate 3 player online has shared a cool discovery about the game's companion portraits, indicating that they're not quite what they seem. Baldur's Gate 3 remains one of the most popular games around, and it seems that the game has plenty of secrets to discover yet.

Gamers in the thread had plenty of thoughts about all the poses, with one player imagining a hilarious scenario where «it's picture day in camp and Withers is behind the camera.»

While the original poster never shared how players can access this area, another player in the thread came to the rescue. While using the magic mirror or leveling up in Baldur's Gate 3, players using any sort of free-cam tools are able to move behind the mountains on the right. There, the companion UI portraits can be found, complete with their fun in-game poses.
