[]Casual Cheers
[]Playing Lanceboard
[]Pondering Lanceboard
[]Playing Cards
[]Advising
[]Put Em Up
[]Mediator
[]Tabletop
[]Wall Lean
[]Slumped Over
[]Pouring Wine
How it works:
-
[]Install using BG3 Mod Manager - it should be the only pose pack in your load order unless you use the Compatibility Patch or QSAT
[
]You will find the poses in Photomode, under the headers: 'TT: Bardic Inspiration', 'TT: Cheers', 'TT: Drunk', 'TT: Friendship' and 'TT: Bar Fight'.[]If using QSAT, you can find all poses by searching 'TavernTales’ or ‘rdekarios’
How to use QSAT to find poses and Lighty Lights to position them easily:

NOTE: Tails may not work properly via QSAT (in my testing, they were a bit hit & miss). The tails work fine in native Photomode, though. To get the pack to appear in native Photomode, you can wait for it to be added to the compatibility patch, or ensure that it is the only unpatched pose pack in your load order and make sure Tavern Tales is at the very bottom of your load order.You may find that using props adds a lot to your experience with these poses. Here's how to use MoveHere to play with props:
