Helmetless Rylen with hair

Helmetless Rylen with hair

For frosty. This mod removes Knight Captain Rylen's helmet and provides a variety of hair options for him. Knight Captain Rylen is a soldier you can talk to at the griffon wing keep in the western approach. He seems to have a small following online so I decided to make a mod for him.

Helmet removal - 2 methods (pick one only):

1) A mesh edit, for any mesh settings on the frosty version, and ultra mesh settings only on the daimod version. Compatible with retextures to his armour. Will affect all human male NPCs that wear the same outfit as Rylen.

The frosty version causes the purple conversation outline when you hover over him to be a bit stretched. Also sighted one HM NPC with the same outfit who had some odd translucent stretching on his mesh. Said issue doesn't affect everyone with the outfit, so far I only saw it on this random background extra, not affecting Rylen himself.

The DAIMM version doesn't have those issues, I would actually reccomend it over the frosty one, unless you can't run higher mesh settings, in which case you might want to use either the texture edit removal versions or the frosty version which has mesh edits for all mesh quality settings. You can even run the DAIMM mesh edit version through frosty if you want.

2) A texture and shader edit. Incompatible with retextures to uni_hm_inquistor_acc01a_0d, so may conflict with inquisition armour retexture mods like worn inquisition. This will also affect any other human male NPCs that wear the same outfit as Rylen. Has no issue with the shape of Rylen's conversation outline, nor any issues with translucent stretching.

With either of the helmet removal files, NPCs with removed helmets will have very small ears. This includes Rylen. Bioware shaped their heads this way to avoid clipping with the hat, I can do little about this. Only download if you are okay with that. See the images tab for pictures of any of the mentioned issues.

Hair choices - 16 versions (pick one only):

1) Bundle free Rylen Hair Swap (Hair E). Puts Seggritt's hair (hair E) onto Rylen. This file does not edit any bundles so should be compatible with bundle edits. Unfortunately this is the only hair I can put on Rylen without editing bundles as this is the only hair that is part of the basegame bundle.

2) Rylen Hair Swap Bundle Edit Versions. This file contains a total of 15 different hairs for Rylen. Obviously only use one at a time. This version does edit the bundle of the western approach so will be incompatible with any other bundle edit mods that also edit the western approach, but should function with any character genera
