📋 About This Mod
Update: Download files are now directly accessible through Nexus!
Welcome to the first RDP release! I've been working on this project since May 2016, and I'll be releasing the companions in a sequence, for you to enjoy.
Here, you'll find a download for Alistair - everybody's favorite first companion, ex-templar, and general charmer. He now has better textures, slight freckles, and a much more youthful and endearing look, designed to have more convincing expressions and emotions to get the most out of every scene. I wanted Alistair to look how people remember and imagine that he looks. I hope you love the result as much as I do.
Download the .zip file for Alistair's morph, files, and bonus information!
The .zip download contains Alistair and his files, plus the RDP base files (textures, etc). There is also a link to a Dropbox download, "Complete" - this lets you download anything in RDP that's been released so far. "Complete" will stay updated indefinitely. As the project progresses, there will be a lot in here.

As always, I would like to sincerely thank all my friends and supporters who made this possible, and the DA Mod Squad for helping me every step of the way. Please check out the full list of other modders who contributed their work to this project! Thanks to the generosity of those wonderful modders on Nexus and elsewhere, I've included the custom files that Alistair uses, with full permission.
This mod is standalone. You do not need to go download custom parts. However, I would ask that you visit the pages of the modders whose assets I used for Alistair, in order to show your appreciation for their hard work. I couldn't have done it without them. sapphim: skin tint (nexus / dropbox) kani-hime: face textures and freckle overlay (blog / download page) danexuslurker: eye texture (nexus / download page)
