📋 About This Mod
the third in my series is waterdeep's own sweetheart, gale "artifact eater" dekarios. there's so much you can do before that giant netherese orb lodged in your chest starts acting up and making you look like you traded sleep for six cans of monster energy in a row. basically what the blurb says: ages him and gives him more prominent dark circles and more intense veins.
this was kind of a pain in the ass to make because i kept having problems with the normal maps that made him look buttery instead, so i might come back in the future and revisit it. if there's enough interest, i might make an even more disheveled version with stronger veins.
in a cruel twist of fate, most of the wrinkles used were lifted straight from elminster's textures.
this mod only edits his face textures, but if you want something that also gives him a more realistic body (so to speak), check this mod out.
NEW!! added a version with more face veins. you can see it in the image gallery. only install one version at a time!
how 2 install (and uninstall)
drop the "Generated" folder into C:/Program Files (x86)/Baldurs Gate 3/Data, or if your game is installed with Steam, C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data. to uninstall, simply delete the folder. this is a texture replacer, so it should only affect gale because he has unique head textures.
very special thx
norbyte for their lslib tools, fnord for their dds photoshop plugin, and kyuukun for giving me the idea to do gale.
