📋 About This Mod
My first BG3 mod, made mostly because I wasn't quite happy with the existing scale options for the dragonborn playthrough I had planned.
This adds ten thirteen eighteen new 'gilded' dragonborn scale colours, featuring bright gold accents. They're available to all dragonborn, but you'll need to tick "All Skin Colours" and scroll down to the very bottom of the list to see them. Sorry, don't know how to get around that!
'Gilded White' is as bright white as I could get it with my limited knowledge and how BG3's skin shader appears to work. Also, as is also the case with the normal skintones, certain head/crest/chin combos may have more or less of the golden accent visible.
Enjoy! And if you use it, I'd love to see your pictures in the Images tab! (Please. I play this game so slowly. Send help.)
