Could be possible have this mod not reset to vanilla look if I want to do some minor changes with Appearance Edit Enhanced mod (like different eye colour- less vibrant, different hair style etc.)? I remember I used mods changing faces, bodies and even gender and I could customise them with mod above.
EDIT: As you said in your description, I managed to alter and save Wyll-Fenris look after a few tries of saving/loading. I see that face tattoo isnt tied to body tattoo so if I change colour or itensity of it body's tattoo still look washed out. I just wanted it to be pure white to be more visible.
I think I know fix-work around for above issue- just add this face to CC for human(and maybe elfs too), this way even if it reset to vanilla we can re-add it and unless we kill Karlach or use some work around to have them both and Wyll in not-devil form will be fully customisable.
EDIT2: Send some pics of my slightly altered version (changed hairstyle, eye colour, face tattoo colour and maybe skin a bit). Changed him to his look in my DA II game.
How did you manage to change that hair? I tried to use Appearance Edit Enhanced mod and different hairstyle, but it wont do nothing. Just pressing "Confirm" wont change anything.
Did you unzip the Markings folder? After you do that, you need to save the two files inside of that folder in the bg3 data folder (creating the folder within folder path mentioned in the mod description). Please let me know if you still need help.
I haven't gotten that far into my modding journey yet. I still need to learn how to set up the files for that. If I can manage that, I'll certainly add them to nexus.
I know you already made an Astarion replacer, but I was wondering if you'd ever be willing to make a replacer for the white haired elf with a white haired elf. :D
Now we only need AI voice with Fenris from DA II voice.
Could be this replacer done for Astarion as well?, both are elfs(I mean romance animations could work), both are run away slaves, they have some in common.
While I understand your desire for this, I do not support or endorse the use of AI to replicate voice actor's voices. I support voice actor's and their right to protect their craft.
Thank you for making this, and this is a instant download for me, but I have some suggestions based on what I'm going to try and do personally on my end for private use.
I'm going to personally edit this mod heavily for private use, I hope that's ok? I find Wyll being an odd choice for this. Their personality and story do not match even if there was a mod that replace the voice actor with Fenris voice actor. What I will personally do and suggestion as and option here is, If you want to go all out, the best fit would be Karlach.
This would be a gender bend, so nexus shouldn't get mad at that and the story would match fairly well if the voice was replaced. Both are characters that was made to fight against their will and fled their forced situation. Their personality and morals match very closely as well. Astarian has a very direct matching story, being a escaped slave of cazador who also a mage as well as a vampire and would of been a better pick then wyll but weaker pick then Karlach.
Astarian has the set up but not the personality at all. His way of speaking, likes, vampiric nature, and his morals does not match with Fenris at all to the point it's jarring even if we was to change the voice files to Fenris voice actor. Also Astarian has the most voice files so would be the hardest to flip in that department. In closing, Karlach would be a great choice as the replacer. Hope you don't mind my thoughts and again thank you so much for making this.
PS: After some thinking, I think i get why you chose Wyll. The way he talks, lines up with Fenris, as Fenris talks in a very proper manner Like wyll does, and like Wyll, Fenris greatly dislikes slavery, any abuse toward children and has a very selfless nature at heart. That said I stand by feeling Karlach is the best choice and what I will personally do privately because this is also present in Karlach ( Also for those suggesting Astarian, these morals are not present with Astarian). Fenris wasn't just a slave he was basically a living weapon in Danarius service, he was literally a trophy. This is also Karlachs existence toward Zariel and Gortash. The way Karlach fled from Zariel service is the same way Fenris did from Danarius. Both Karlach and Fenris love nature and dogs, both prefer the wild over a city, the simple things in life, and enjoy a great drink. The background of outlander just fits Fenris more then folk hero which is what Wyll is. Like Karlach, Fenris would be fairly new to romance, as he was with hawk as well as not used to being touched or hugged.
This line up with Karlach more then Wyll. Another reason is it be a cool conclusion to the markings that eventually they burn out in a way and just in general the narrative of dealing with loss or ultimate sacrifice seems a better narrative fit for Fenris actions as a replacer. For me a replacer can't just be because of looks, it also needs to line up with the morals and personality of the character to make it work. It helps with the illusion...This is why the joker replacer for Orin works so well. The joker and Orin personality fits to the letter, they basically the same character archetype. As one could probably see, I'm very passionate about Fenris and just very happy and excited to see a mod like this, again thank you for making this. However I'm a lover of a great narrative and deeper meaning in stories. Its one of the things I adore the most about the character, and well. What makes Fenris lovable is his personality and relatable in narration of his story, and I guess I voice this suggestion of those who want to truly add him to BG3 fully voice and all. As a way to highlight the best way to preserve that narrative while doing so.
The best option would be a custom hireling. As that would make it all a side head cannon and take the least amount of work over all. I would love to see this added to the custom companions mod, may try to figure it out myself as that's the best possible route. However for the full story impact that is the most intact of Fenris narrative and purpose of his story. I strongly feel Karlach would nail that the best out of the companions. As a person who adores the character, and has a deep understanding of his personality. I honestly would say Fenris personality if we was to breka it down between the cast of BG3. Is a mixture of shadowheart, Karlach and Lae'zel. The things he has in common with Wyll and Astarian feel surface level compared to these ladies. Shadowheart has Fenris distrust of others and prone to constantly reading others, knowledge on others who are manipulative and torture practices he witnessed, forgotten past, and a lack of knowing one self. Lae'zel has the soldier aspects of Fenris and no nonsense mannerism he displays in combat often or when deals with hunters, as well as how proud he can be in combat, and even cur throat at times. Karlach has a lot of what we adore about Fenris, the naivety toward romance and courtship and just socializing with others in general, the love of simple almost childlike things and knowledge on demons, the innocent moments of his personality as well as the life lessons critical to what makes Fenris who he is. Forgive my passion but wanted to write all this and share my break down.
I actually like your idea, Karlach would also work great with Fenris(mabe except her enthusiastic "Iloveyoutoo!" xD etc.), but strong body of her doesnt much suits Fenris ihmo and without it the animations would look wierd(romance mostly), also Idk if there is any working voice for male Karlach. :C Also too bad this glowing of Karlach body doesnt work with custom bodies, because her blue glow if you r romancing her would be similar to glowing lyrium in Fenris tattoo... Fenris as tav/durge elf/halfelf/human would be neat.
Exactly, I personally going to try my hardest to get this to work in my BG3. Been wanting to add him to it for awhile, but I thought I voice this and my passionate break down for fello Fenris fans and hope this possibly will lead to more work from here or from others if motivated. Again I'm just excited to even see this at all. Didn't have hope people love him enough to make him here so happy to see this. That said yes I'm aware animations would be a issue. A part of me wonders if when official modding tools are released, that if it could be possible to get to a point we could swap out romance scene. Like you romance karlach and the dialog is the same but once it gets to the love scene it swaps out to wyll or astarian scenes, that type of thing. Actually Fenris is a character that it's not that he can't be enthusiastic in showing affection, but more you really have to earn that from him. It's a comfort level type of thing. The trauma makes him less likely to be that expressive but not impossible. So How I would mentally deal with karlachs enthusiastic love responses would probably make me play the game even slower so that it felt earned from fenris and less jarring.
Thank you for your feedback. I'd prefer that you didn't edit this mod in any way. If you'd like I'd be happy to point you to some resources on how to create mods so you can have something that is more tailored to your preferences.
Ah bless you, I would like that. I don't release mods publicly, I prefer keeping personal edits private. That said I 100% respect your permissions and it's good to know your permissions. I thank you I very much would like any info you like to share on how to do this. Bless you for making this mod. It's motivating truly and rekindling my desire to have him in BG3. I have him personally in skyrim but was on the fence on having him in BG3, because modding different here. However I like the BG3 community better then skyrim so appreciate this thank you.
I have joined, but I'm quiet. Prefer to watch others succeed in amazing mods for now, but what you did here will probably change that. Thank you again and happy modding. Also thank you for not being put of by my passionate feed back. I'll be using your mod in play through just to have him in the game ( or see if I can have him as the emperor dream guardian because he so be my guardian lmao) until I make my own version for my preference. The dream will be if patch 7 makes it so that we can fully make voice followers properly. If that happens of I'mma be hella excited. We shall see. Happy modding.
PS: I just join the server. I thought I was already in it, but it was BGS modding community I'm quietly in. I just join down by the river. Thank you
