Thank you all for the support I've received! It's great to hear that you use and appreciate my mods! This community is fantastic! 

NOTE! Due to an overwhelming number of people having issues with the eye colour mod I've moved it to Optional Download. Use at your own risk. 


Description
While making this mod I've completely stepped out of my comfort zone. I've edited meshes, done more HEX editing than ever before and pulled much hair out. But here it is, finally! The renewed Blackwall, Warden of Orlais.

Blackwall now has a manbun, smoother beard with slightly longer mustache, new face texture (based on Alistair's skin), green eyes and most importantly a completely different basic armour. Blackwall's vanilla armour is switched in for the Orlesian heavy adventurer armour. All his heavy armour's now looks like the picture above. If wished for I might make his light and medium armour look like the adventurer armour as well, but it's not really needed as Blackwall only uses heavy armour. 

Sadly Blackwall refuses to equip the Orlesian armour in Skyhold or Haven. I pulled my hair for a few days straight trying to figur this out, but with no luck. If anyone knows how to change any of the companions Skyhold outfit please let me know! 

I've also made a retexture for the Orlesian armour that looks more like a potential Grey Warden armour. It's a bit worn and beaten as Blackwall has been hanging out in the wilderness for quite some time. 


Compatibility 

ABOUT THE ORLAIS ARMOUR:
The retexture of the Orlais armour will affect all characters who wear this armour. This means that with this installed you can't have any other retextures of the Orlais Heavy Adventurer armour installed, they will conflict. 

I have include separate installation files for the basic heavy armour (main file), starter armour and unequipped outfit. I have done this to get around any conflicts that might arise if you want to use a modded Skyhold outfit on your inquisitor (such as Trespasser Skyhold PJ Replacer by Atherisz)or want to use a modded starter armour (for example Immersive Starting Armour by Tirnoney). I haven't had any crashes using all at the same time, but when using a Skyhold armour that was the same bodytype as Blackwall (human male) the Skyhold mod overlapped Blackwall's unequipped outfit. This isn't a major issue though as the unequipped outfit wont be visible if you have ANY armour equipped on Blackwall. 

Obviously the Orlais armour on Blackwall will conflict with any other mods that changes Blackwalls basic armour set. 

None of my outfit mod's will conflict with retextures of Blackwall's vanilla outfit that he wears in Skyhold. 

ABOUT THE HAIR:
The hair and beard mods won't be compatible with any mods that edit Blackwall's hair or beard in any way (such as hair colour or mesh edit). Install only the hairmod if you want to use a different mod for Blackwall's beard for example. 

ABOUT THE EYES:
Blackwall's green eyes will not be compatible with any mod that edit Blackwall's head mesh, like other mods that changes his eye colour or eye lashes. 
This mod will run perfectly with mods that edit the look of all eyes in general (such as Vivid Eyes by Wendera).  

ABOUT THE FACE:
The face retexture will not be compatible with any other mods that changes Blackwall's face. 


Installation 


Install mods using DAI Mod Manager. No external mods from other creators are necessary to use these mods. 

About Orlais Armour:
You can install all or some of the mods that cover the Orlais armour, they all change different files. I included the files separately as there is a chance Blackwall's starter armour and his unequipped outfit might conflict with other Skyhold outift or Starting gear mods. See compatibility above. 

About the hair:
Don't install "Blackwall - Manbun and beard" together with "Blackwall - Only mabun" or "Blackwall - Only beard" as they will overlap. They don't look different, but I included separate files in case you only want the hairstyle or beard for your game.
