Glasses of Thedas - Spectacles for all

She was wearing a set of delicate dwarven spectacles that reminded Maric of his grandfather King Brandel… his grandfather possessed a pair of golden spectacles that he would immediately hide whenever he was caught wearing them, lest someone think him going blind.

-The Stolen Throne

Glasses... they're lore friendly, so why wouldn't they appear in universe?

This mod adds 3 styles of glasses, one Professor, one medieval style (both sourced from the Witcher games) and a more delicate pair.

They are designed to go in the beard slot of the morph, similar to Shanamah's Earring Beards, and can be attached the same way as those. Although in case this is too complicated for you, or you wish to pair them with a beard, I have made a few hairstyles with them attached.

List of availability:

Prof glasses

Beard Slot: DM, DF, EF, EM, HF, HM

Attached to hair: DM, DF

Medieval Merchant glasses

Beard Slot: DM, DF, EF, EM, HF, HM

Attached to a beard: DM, HM

Attached to hair: DM, DF

Arc glasses:

Beard Slot: DM, DF, EF, EM, HF, HM

Attached to hair: DM, DF, EM, HF, HM, EF

Main File- all the glasses and all the textures.

Optional files

chargenmorph.xml file to put the hairs and some of the beards in the chargenmorph.

morph folder to put some of these on characters in game.

Characters included are Sweeney, default Finn (Witch Hunt DLC), Dairren, and a few random dwarves in the Shaperate.

These mostly assume your character's ears and nose are in default positions. You may have to do some adjusting of DF nose so the bridge doesn't clip. Some floating is inevitable. Due to how thin the frames are, the arcane glasses antialise somewhat.

Sadly the Origins shader engine has a weird bug where the semi- transparent lens will cause all the hair behind it to become invisible in game, although this does not affect the toolset. So I have made versions with lenses(glasses_0) and one that is just the frames (glassen_0). Pick whichever will annoy you less.

Not all of these are tested outside the toolset as there are so many of them, let me know if they are doing anything strange. Meshes aren't baked into your save so nothing will go permanently wrong if they don't work, just remove them from the morph.

Installation Instructions

Unzip and place main folder into your My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\packages\core\override folder.

Beard slot version

You can edit these onto a prexisting morph by adding them in slot 3 of a face .mor. (guide here)

This has the advantage you can pair it with any hairsty
