📋 About This Mod
This mod will change the apperence of Taliesin.
Three different hair color versions are available: whiteblack
, blonde
, and
High Poly Head and ESL flagged.
I really like Taliesin's voice.
He is not a typical Thalmor, a bit like Rumarin in 3DNPC, but a bit more arrogant and narcissistic than Rumarin.
These interesting personality traits make Taliesin even more attractive.
Thanks to Vanessa M and Pat Mahoney for making such a wonderful follower.

Update for 1. 01: Fixed an issue that the forehead and eyebrows were a bit low.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His weight has been changed from 10 to 40, so if you have Neck gap problem:
Open the console, click Taliesin, then type "setnpcweight 40", enter, then you will see Taliesin have a wired face,
type "disable" , enter, then type "enable", enter, he will return to normal.
Or starting a new game, then Taliesin won't have neck gap.
Or using save unbaker, it is a great option that will prevent the weight bug.
