📋 About This Mod
Ferelden Elves
Updated DA2 style elves for Origins, Awakening, and all DLC! Ferelden Elves was made for those of you using the awesome Elf Update by TMP7704, and requires Elf Update to function.
Ferelden Elves attempts to give elves a unique look to separate them from humans and to provide more visual continuity between DAO and DA2. This mod also makes a few immersions fixes. This includes:
1. Adding unique faces for several characters that shared the same faces in the default game. (Such as random event “clones”, Dalish hunters sharing tattoo-less face morphs with city elves, or multiple elves sharing the same faces in the Dalish camp.)
2. Restoration of 2 elven tranquil NPCs that erroneously used human bodies and heads.
3. Removing helms from elven NPCs to keep their ears from clipping through. No other armor changes are made, just helm removal.
Companions and other character variations are available under the optional downloads. They include the MRH files so you can edit them as you wish in the Toolset.
If you only want morphs for the elves that were not included in Elf Update by TMP7704, they are available as "Ferelden Elves - LIGHT VERSION" under the Old Versions on the download page.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,125 endorsements and 76k downloads
- Gives every elf in the game a consistent DA2 look, not just the main characters

⚠️ Cons
