This is a slight edit of R4v3nB14ck's "God Of War 3 Young Kratos - Blue Tattoos - Fear Kratos" (Attempting to make the goatee and other facial features better).
The following is copied from the original modder's description:
LOW END WARNING:
Having ANISOTROPIC FILTERING below "ORIGINAL" may make kratos beard look weird.
If you still having this beard issue set "Anisotropic Filtering" to "Application Controlled" in Nvidia Control Panel.
