📋 About This Mod

ATTENTION! This mod/version is defunct and does not work, please check out OfficiallyJewls fixed version of my ORC mod HERE that works using Frosty! I will leave this mod/page up as a redirect so folks can hopefully find the new fixed version they were kind enough to figure out how to get working lol. Thank you all for your love/support of Original Recipe Cullen and I look forward to seeing my mod actually out in the wild~

UPDATE on ORC as of 02/01/2024:

So apparently this mod is infamous for never working for almost anyone else. So after many years (and quite a few emails asking me about uploading the raw files) I've added all the raw files/etc. to the Miscellaneous section of this mod's downloads if anyone wants to try and get it working, they can. I no longer have the energy/time and I haven't played Inquisition since it came out (at the time I made this mod, was dealing with my Father passing) and I likely will never fix it as it's too much of a time sink for me to figure out how to repair the files now as the modding process (and DLCs, etc.) is a lot different and likely don't function the same coding-wise as they did when the game was first released.

---------------------------------

Tired of the pasty-white blondeness of your resident Commander? Or maybe you just miss those fiery red noodle locks from Origins? Well here's a mod for you! This mod overhauls the colors and face texture for Commander and Ex-Templar Cullen Rutherford. In an attempt to marry realism with his original appearance, this mod gives our Commander a war-weathered, more mature look of a templar veteran while still retaining a few signature features such as his red hair and mole that disappeared after the first game. In addition, I made some aesthetic changes (darkened lips, tired eyes) to reflect his personal quest regarding his lyrium addiction. Now you can look forward to many saucy (or surly) encounters with your favorite redheaded templar in Inquisition!

List of Changes:

  • []Skintone darkened and color-adjusted (WINDBURN!! OUTSIDE!! SUNSHINE!!)

    []Wrinkles added for “weathered, older templar” look (templaring is rough)

    []Facial hair darkened and color-adjusted (and beard thickened)

    []Mole restored!! (so VERY nice)

    []Eye color darkened and adjusted (saucy sad brown yeah)

    []HAIR COLOR CHANGED (thank the Maker)

    []Lips thinned and dried more (lyrium addiction!!)

    []Eye sockets darkened/bruised (lack of sleep!)
