📋 About This Mod

This mod allows you to customize your Inquisitor's body mesh. So far, this is only for male and female elves, Qunari, and human and dwarven females. Other race/genders were not included because there were issues in importing the meshes (please see the "horrible black texture bug" in the pictures for more information... only if you're curious)

This has not yet been thoroughly tested, as such, it is in Beta, meaning you guys are my testers! I would appreciate any feedback or errors you encounter to help me improve it. Along with this, there may still some minor cosmetic discrepancies with the models. There are two currently known, one of which affects the female elves and dwarves, and another that affects the shadows on the male Qunari. Both are demonstrated in the image files. The current mesh tools are still in their beginning stage, and my mesh modding skills are rather amateur, so, I have so far been unable to fix this, but, will hopefully be able to in the future. For now, I would only download this if it does not bother you. And, this shouldn't break your game or set your house on fire, but, just in case, please use at your own risk.

The choices vary for the different race and gender options:

Female Elves:

There are a few choices, including three body options, which includes the torso and legs, and three different arm options, all of which can be used in different combinations. All versions make the body frame slightly wider, not akin to human size, but more alike to Sera and Solas's Body Models. When downloading, choose your preferred body option, which will include a folder that contains the different arm options. Choose only one arm option and one body option to install at a time.

Body Options:

  • []Standard Body : Keeps intact most of the original body ratios, just with a wider frame. []Athletic Body: Gives your Inquisitor a more muscular, less hour-glass like figure.  []Curvy: Emphasizes your Inquisitors curves, with an enhanced hour-glass figure.
Arm Options:
  • []Standard Arms: These arms are most similar to the original, just adjusted to fit the new frame. []Thicker Arms: Similar to the Standard arms, but slightly thicker.  []Athletic Arms: Tones and thickens your character's arms to resemble a natural athlete's. 

Male Elves:

There are three options for male elves, listed below. These will likely not fix the bent arms issue visible in cut-scenes, as I believe that is due to animation, rather than the actual mesh, and may make
