📋 About This Mod
If you don't wanna read my whole story, the relevant information is: This replaces the vallaslin for Ghilan'nain (vallaslin #7), and will conflict with any other mods that modify the vallaslin for Ghilain'nain, and I suspect the vallaslin for Dirthamen and Sylaise/Simplified Sylaise as well, as they share a texture file. That last part is speculation on my part, however. Also, like all vallaslin mods, entering the Black Emporium with this mod merged will freeze your game! Disable this mod before entering the Black Emporium!
Added July 2024: Does work with the BE if you have the BE Fix mod! I no longer have the source files for this mod, and am not currently modding for Inquisition! If anyone would like to pick this up and reverse engineer it in to a Frosty mod, feel free!
Story time kids!
One day, feeling very unsatisfied with the vallaslin for Ghilan'nain, I set out on a journey... A journey where I discovered that I will never be satisfied until everything I touch has turned to modded gold.
First, I thought to make a design directly referencing Ghilan'nain, since that was the one I was un-satisfied with. I still was not satisfied with what I came up with. On my hunt for inspiration, I came across the tarot cards, as you do. I quickly realized no one had really done them before, and it shocked me. Despite their simplicity, they looked so darn cool. So I set about making them. Then, realizing that without the ability to paint my Inquisitor's entire body, the vallaslin looked rather plain as it was illustrated on the card. So I went overboard. I felt myself very satisfied with the result, and thought others might enjoy having them as well, and here we are!
I do have a version kicking around that is missing the forehead and chin embellishments, if anyone would like that version as well, I just haven't had time to throw it in the ModMaker to make a proper file out of it.
Here are the mods used in the screenshots!
Darker-skinned Lavellan uses:
Sho's Insane eyes and
Aileani's Ciri Hair Attempt
The lighter-skinned Lavellan uses:
Those Eyes v4
Side Swept Hair for EF by Skaramoosh
As they are the same Lavellan, just slightly modified for different game stages, they both share use of the following:
SK Hair Retexture Realistic by Skaramoosh
Shantia's Eyebrows and Face Texture
Dalish Outwerwear by Shosholada (slightly modified by myself for my personal use)
EF Skyhold PJ Recolours by Korikoc
Their eye makeup in a work in progress. :)
If you see anything I missed and are wondering where it can be found, just ask!
(I have no idea what happened to her eyebrow scar between those early screenshots and the later ones...)
