📋 About This Mod
Gives Blackwall a larger, dadbod mesh in the Winter Palace formalwear outfit. Two color options included.
If you've ever thought Blackwall looked too skinny in his Winter Palace suit, you've come to the right place. This mod gives Blackwall a unique, larger body mesh (a dadbod, you might say) for the formalwear outfit so that he looks more like the size he is in his gambeson. The mod comes in two color variations:
-
[]Black & Silver - a retexture that affects all the advisors, companions (dadbod Blackwall included), and the inquisitor so they match
[
]Grey Warden - a blue and silver warden themed retexture that ONLY affects dadbod Blackwall. Everyone else will wear the default nutcracker suit (or whatever retexture/recolor you have downloaded)Compatibility with Other Retextures/Recolors:
The only way I was able to get this mod to work (so far) is to give Blackwall his own mesh and textures, which means he will not be affected by most retexture/recolor mods. If you want everyone in the party to match, you need to use either:-
[]The included Dadbod at the Winter Palace (Black & Silver) file, OR
[
]Dress Up at the Winter Palace's black & gold uniform file (inside the optional Armour and Inquisitor files download)If you already have a recolor/retexture you really like, or you want everyone else in the classic nutcracker suit, then you can use Grey Warden version of the mod so there is at least a lore-friendly explanation for why Blackwall doesn't match everyone else. If I ever figure out a way around this, I will come back and update the mod!
Requirements:
-
[]Requires Padme's WEWH fix AND the fixes for any companions you are planning to bring from DAI Frosty Texture Glitch Fixes. Load these first.
[
]Requires Dress Up at the Winter Palace Main Bundle Edit. Load this after Padme's fixes but before Dadbod at the Winter Palace (you can use their files for companions other than Blackwall if you want to, but only the main bundle edit is required)[]One of the Dadbod files included with this mod. Load this last.
Other Mods Shown/Used:
-
[]More Greying Hairstyles for Blackwall
[]Party at the Winter Palace
[]My Inquisitor's hair is a modified version of Skaramoosh's High Bun with Side swept bangs from the SK Hair Pack
Other Notes:
I have tested this mod in WEWH, Skyhold, and the beginning part of Trespasser. It does replace Blackwall's unequipped armor, so you probably don't want to use it outside of the Winter Palace! As such, it will not be compatible with any other mod that changes the appearance of Blackwall's outfit.
