Play as a Dark Elf Woman

DESCRIPTION This mod changes Geralt\'s appearance. Instead of the default white man with white hair, Geralt will become a dark-skinned elven woman with black hair. She will still have the witcher\'s yellow eyes with vertical pupils, though. None of the dialogues or other game elements has been changed, so the elven woman will be named \"Geralt,\" she\'ll have a deep voice, and women will throw themselves at her just as frequently as they throw themselves at the white male Geralt. I figure at least two of these things are features, not bugs. :-) Because the default Geralt has white hair (as a result of his witcher mutations, not because of age), he\'s frequently called \"the White Wolf\" and is sometimes addressed as \"white one\" or \"whitey.\" Even though the dark elf does not have white hair, being called \"white wolf\" happens so frequently that I didn\'t edit the eight million dialogue lines where this occurs. So you\'ll sometimes be addressed as \"white wolf\" or \"white one.\" It\'s not about race, it\'s about mutations. :-) The appearance change happens right away, but certain events will cause Geralt to resume his default appearance for a couple of seconds, until the mod catches the change and forces him to go back to dark elf: 1. When Geralt gets new armor, the game changes his appearance. But 3 - 5 seconds after you get the new armor, you\'ll get your dark elf looks back again. Luckily, there are only three occasions in the entire game where Geralt gets new armor (the armor that Vesemir gives Geralt during the Prologue, the Excellent Leather Jacket (if you choose to buy it), and the suit of Raven\'s Armor that you get as the result of a quest in Chapter 5), so your appearance won\'t be constantly changing. 2. The game doesn\'t save your appearance, because the game assumes it knows what your appearance is. :-) So when you load a saved game, you\'ll start with the default appearance, but after 2 - 3 seconds, your dark elf looks will be back again. 3. Bizarrely enough, the game also switches your appearance back to the default when you teleport. Teleporting doesn\'t happen all that often, so it\'s not a frequent problem, though it\'s still kinda strange to come through as someone other than who you started as. Scotty never made that mistake when beaming people up. :-) Again, you\'ll revert to dark elf after just 3 - 5 seconds. Flash\'s wonderful Doppler\'s Essence Mod (http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dopplers-essence/downloads/the-dopplers-essence-v10-en-pl-de) allows you to play as any character in the game. But most of the characters in the game are white -- and the ones who aren\'t white are green -- there aren\'t any dark-skinned characters in the game. So this little mod fills in that gap and allows the player to play as a dark-skinned elven woman. I chose an elven woman instead of a human woman because there was only one human female warrior, and she wears a quiver of arrows on her back, which would make it impossible for Geralt to keep swords there. The elves, on the other hand, had two female models who were warriors without stuff on their backs; I chose the one with pigtails, rather than the one who looked as if the front half of her head had been shaved. Close-up of those witcher eyes: This mod also gives Geralt a scroll that will force the change to dark elf, just in case you ever need to do that, though the main script takes care of all of the circumstances I encountered during testing. The scroll will be in Geralt\'s quest inventory, since you might need to use it more than once during the game. (Remember that the quest inventory scrolls back and forth.) You can tell it from all the other stuff that accumulates in your quest inventory because the scroll is light blue. The female elf warrior is considerably shorter than the default Geralt, which means that the game\'s cutscenes wouldn\'t have the camera positioned properly unless I did something about that. So I\'ve gone through every single cutscene in the entire game and added a \"Scale\" key, which will make Geralt the dark elf about the same height as the default Geralt, so that the cutscenes will work properly. That\'s why the mod includes a lot of cutscene files, in addition to the files that turn Geralt into a dark elf, and that\'s why the dark elf looks so much taller in the cutscenes than she looks in the game. I\'ve redone all of the cutscenes, but I can\'t remake the CGI movies or the flashbacks, so the intro and outro movies will still have the default Geralt. They\'re amazingly cool, though; you should watch them, anyway. :-) I also changed the in-game camera settings, to move the camera a l
