📋 About This Mod
Here's a link to a music video using the different head morphs of Alistair.
http://youtu.be/6WdjUADnbWs
It always seemed strange to me that BioWare never took into account that over a period of time people (characters) looks would change. So I made my companion morphs to show the passage of time in the game. As the year goes by Alistair's hair would grow and become longer. With all the running around gathering their Army, I doubt he had time to see a barber very often.
I have all hair styles with light and full stubble for you to choose from. I figured he could at least shave himself occasionally. The hair styles are numbered 0 thru 6, with 0 being the start of game.
To install: Choose only one mor file and place in (My Documents, BioWare, Dragon Age, packages, core, override) Along with the dependent mods.
