📋 About This Mod

Mhairi is a character we meet at the start of Awakening. She quickly proves her loyalty, conviction and skill with the blade. The thing is - in the majority of her appearances, she's helmeted, unlike ANY other character. If the player gives her a full helmet, in the dialogues/cutscenes she's literally looking like an ambient soldier. She deserves more for being a good, loyal soldier.

The starting cutscene wasn't changed, because both the Warden and she have helmets on while approaching the Keep. It makes perfect sense they're wearing them in the scene, we find it out rather quickly. Other than that, I had to go through every dialogue and cutscene involving Mhairi. It took a lot of effort, because Awakening uses lots of mini-cutscenes and each had to be edited for the idea to work out. Not that I'm complaining, seeing the effect in-game was certainly worth it.
