📋 About This Mod
PATCH 1. 03 NOTE!: the latest patch introduces some terrible bugs with official DLC, mods and even the character generator, do not expect this mod to work as intended. Currently working on a mod to play as creatures so my attention will sadly be elsewhere for a while, but please continue with feedback, it helps a lot in finding missing characters. Sorry for the delay MOR files out now for replacing other npcs. Not sure why I didn\'t mention this earler: Please do not send in creature requests such as Lady of the Forest, as it won\'t work even if I did bother looking. To play as the lady/skeleton try the MetaGame items mod Name: NPC Face presets Version: 1. 01b Date: 17/01/2010-29/01/2010 Category: Hair and Face Models, Head Morphs. Author: Rebalious ================= Requirements: ================= 1. 2 Patched version of Dragon Age: Origins, may work with older versions though. More importantly Dragon Age: Origins ================= Description: ================= Please Uninstall any older version installed before installing this one, I think that is why people were still having trouble with EM CTDs. Adds as many named npcs faces for character generation presets as I could possibly do. Over 200 Named NPC heads over the six playable races available for use. These are the original heads for use not replacement versions so no Redesigned heads at the moment. *By named I mean within the resources although I am trying to expand on this. The grouping is not completely solid but rather the heads are bunched together in the following: Bookends, purposefully ugly characters so you know when this mod starts and ends. Prelude, characters that appear in Ostagar; Cailan, Daveth, Duncan and Ser Jory. Others and Companion, Companions and other characters such as Flemeth and Arl Howe. Origin, Play as Shiani or perhaps Nelaros. If you cant find some characters they may be in here. Lothering, well they wont be using their faces for very long anyway. Urn quest, play as Kolgrim, Weylon and the like. Broken Circle, characters from the mages tower. Nature of the Beast, mostly the dalish elves with Human Hermit and Shade. Orzammar, characters from Paragon of her kind such as Branka and Hespith. Redcliffe, play as Arle of redcliffe and others. Denerim, and the rest such as Slim Couldry and Anora. At this time there are no DLC characters included, as I didn\'t consider it worth hunting their faces down. To use a .mop for a saved player character, this has the advantage over .mor as it doesn\'t break shape shifting. I was unable to find the OP, whoever you are much thanks. Remember to always make a backup save first. Tested and after 1 mistake, it works. \"QUOTE First, some info: I didn\'t see it mentioned in here, but there IS a way to change a character\'s face without specifying a morph. It takes some extra steps, but it DOES circumvent the problem with shape-changers being broken,
NPC Faces adds over 200 usable NPC faces for character generation in Dragon Age: Origins, including faces from companions and quest NPCs. It's a cosmetic mod for players who want to use existing NPC appearances for their own characters. The mod also mentions MOR versions and upcoming .mrh versions.
