📋 About This Mod
This man sings his own theme song so I thought I'd give him better clothing. Just a replacement/recolor of his in-game clothing, not a piece of equipment that you can use. Black and red because "his favorite color is blood".
Oh, and I gave the human form back his bard shoes because he's obviously a bard, right? 😏
Compatible with Ring of Metamorph - anyone you morph into Raphael will be wearing the outfit if you have both mods in your load order.
Version 2. 0: Added 'Decadent Ensemble' outfit. Please only choose one file at a time as you can only have one outfit.
Which is which?
REQUIREMENTS
- You MUST HAVE Patch 5 for this to work. It uses assets from the epilogues that don't exist in previous versions.
- Mod Fixer standalone or a mod which includes it
- You can only use ONE of the files: Duke's (Red), Duke's (Gold) or Decadent Ensemble. BGMM will give you an error if you try to load more than one.
- Unfortunately incompatible with any other mods that edit his in-game appearance or clothing. If you wanted your Devil Wearing Nada, for example, you would have to remove this mod first, or vice versa.
INSTALLATION
Please use BG3 Mod Manager. No need to unzip - just import the zip, drag it to active, refresh, save and launch through it.
UNINSTALLATION
'Missing Mods' save issue / crash to main menu has been fixed as of a recent hotfix. Please update your game if you're still having this issue.
1. In BG3 Mod Manager, right click on the mod and select Delete Mod, or press delete with it selected
2. Make sure that Permanent is checked at the bottom.
3. Refresh and save.
4. At the top, click the 'Export Order to Game' icon.
When you launch the game again, he should be back in his regular clothing.
Special Credit
I use Otis_Inf's photomode tools (flycam) to check everything up close and take screencaps. Well worth the patreon fee!
I know 'better' is subjective, and I'm not hating on the original outfit, but the name 'alternative clothing for raphael' wasn't very snappy!
