📋 About This Mod
Adds Isobel Thorm as a playable Origin character, with a choice between playing her as Tav or The Dark Urge.
Set up in a way that does not impact NPC Isobel, other than changing her appearance to prevent you being a doppelganger.
In both scenarios, she begins the game as a Light Domain Cleric of Selûne - her starting class can be customised.
She has the Noble background, unless played as The Dark Urge, where she gets The Haunted One background instead.
She also begins the game with her unique outfit in both scenarios, even if you change her class.
Has one of the female Tav voices, otherwise she would be mute in most cases. I chose the voice I found most fitting for Isobel.
Origin Isobel has no custom spells or OP stats, and her starting gear is also very basic.
And it should go without saying, but neither the story nor any characters will react to you being Isobel.
Featured in my screenshots is Aether's Makeup Remover to remove Isobel's crying makeup.
