📋 About This Mod

EDIT 08-MAR-2018:

Yahoo, I have complete revised this mod! Vastly improved the past version's structure, and added some new changes.

---------------

MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE OLD FILE BEFORE ADDING THE NEW ONE!

---------------

In both DA:O and DA:I, all characters (save for qunari) use the same skin tints, but in DA:2, all the races have a different set of skin tints... and the elven ones are weirdly blue and green.

WHAT THIS MOD DOES:

  • []All elven characters now use human skin tints

    []Fixes BioWare's mistake of not giving over half the Dalish elves tints for their vallaslin, causing them to be so faint

    []Returning characters of the Sabrae clan now look more like they originally appeared in DA:O - a few others were uniquely redesigned as well (See below for details)

    []All files are no longer kept in a package, meaning they can be deleted per need (i.e. if you have an alternate Zevran morph you prefer, just delete the Zevran file included in this mod)

    Please note this mod is very lightweight and should not put strain on your computer :)

    UNIQUE CHARACTER REVISIONS:

    Merrill -

    Whitewashing begone; now has a skin tint similar to 04 she had in DA:O and minimizes her makeup. Otherwise, she remains the same.

    Fenris - 

    I did not touch Fenris aside from changing his skin tint like all the elves.

    Zevran -

    Zevran looks more like Zevran from DA:O and less like an uncooked potato cutout of Zevran.

    Fenarel - 

    New longer face shape and darker blonde hair, similar to his appearance in DA:O.

    Junar - 

    His DA:O hair is not available for elves in DA:2, so I guess he got a haircut. But he now has the same hair colour, eye colour, and vallaslin as he does in DA:O, and a similar face shape.

    Ilen - 

    BioWare how dare you cut off that man's beautiful braid. I put it back, gave him the same vallaslin as he has in DA:O, as well as a nose and jaw similar to his original appearance.

    Paivel -

    Paivel is no longer the ghost of Paivel past, but has his beautiful original skin back. I also changed his eye colour and vallaslin colour to be the same as DA:O.

    Maren -

    Her DA:O hair is not available for elves in DA:2, so I guess she got a haircut too. But the style is as similar to her original one as can be. Her eyes and skin have no longer magically changed colour either, and her hair is a little darker red, overall making her better resemble her DA:O appearance.

    Pol -

    Sigh His DA:O hair is not available

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod replaces the default blue and green skin tints of all elves with human-like tones, fixes the vanilla tinting error with vallaslin, and redesigns returning elven NPCs to better match their previous appearances.
