📋 About This Mod
Too loud, sun-scum. Heard you stumbling. Can hear you blinking.
I've been stuck with this mod for four to five days straight, but finally it comes to life.
Now, unfortunately, for some reason the Toolkit decided to act funny and crash every time I tried to render the icons, so this mod will not have custom portraits for the characters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Baldur's Gate 3 at least three times, deleted and restored the Data folder, but still nothing.
This mod wants to to emphasize how the Duergars in Act 1 are divided into two distinct factions: the Absolutists and the Flameshade Clan. The Absolutists come with new Absolute uniforms and the Flameshade Clan has mostly armors of brown and yellow colors.
The mod changes every single alive Duergar in Act 1: the ones at the beach, the ones that intercept your ship when you sail into the Grymforge, and obviously the ones present in the Grymforge itself.
This mod was done with the official Baldur's Gate 3 Toolkit Moonglasses, and it was made to work for Patch 8. I have tested it and it's safe to install/uninstall mid playthrough.
Be sure to also check my redesigns for the Ironhand Gnomes and Nere for a more immersive experience.
