📋 About This Mod
Mod description
The mod allows you all to play as a male or female Ogre. The outfits from the base game are now corresponding with armor slots, so you can customise them to your liking. And you can dye them as well. The eyepatch and headless (can't really call it a neckless) are now represented by circlets, there are 2 pairs of bracers (and 1 left only, 1 right only) plus two pairs of boots. The staples/piercing of Lump is available as hair, the lady has 3 different faces available. The clothes will be made available via the Tutorial Chest, don't skip it!
As stated in the short description there some minor issues:
-
[]The camera positions are made for human sized actors. The Ogre is much higher, in game cutscenes have the Ogre look down so much, the face clips the chest. However, Avalonica added a tip to use Native Camera Tweaks (and Native Mod Loader). The settings they posted work, so try this:
#ExplorationZoomMin = 0. 5 # 3. 5 default
#-------------------------------------------------------
ExplorationZoomMin = 0. 01 # 3. 5 default
#-------------------------------------------------------
#ExplorationOverrideOffset = false
#-------------------------------------------------------
ExplorationOverrideOffset = true
#-------------------------------------------------------
#ExplorationVerticalOffsetMult = 0. 8 # Vertical offset of the camera from the floor level - the character height multiplied by this setting
#-------------------------------------------------------
ExplorationVerticalOffsetMult = 1. 16 # Vertical offset of the camera from the floor level - the character height multiplied by this setting
#-------------------------------------------------------
[
]Weapons are too small as well, they don't get resized. So that Greataxe looks more like a hatchet, a Greatsword like a dagger. Hence I added weapons to the starting equipment of the Ogre to have a supersize version of the Bugbear Morningstar, the Mace, a GreatAxe that cannot be sheathed (because of the way it works) and the 2 Steel Watcher Swords. They are specific to Ogres so no one can else can use them.[]Sneak doesn't have an animation and is removed in 1. 19.
[]The Crossbow is behaving oddly
- The Greataxe occassionally moves really oddly
