Version 2.0 of this mod restores all common actions to the hireling. It also gives the hireling Gortash's unique body animations (i.e. his unique stance.)
Version 3.0 will give the Hireling Jacelyn's stats to better balance the Hireling. An optional file has been provided for those who wish to keep Gortash's stats.
Hi, there! Thank you for the mod. I have a question. I don't think this is a bug necessarily, but I had already recruited Jacelyn before coming across this mod. I dismissed him before installing it, but after installing it and summoning Gortash with his outfit file installed, Gortash will only appear in his Authority robe for a second before it resets to the default sorceror's robe.
I tested it on an older save before I had recruited Jacelyn, and the Authority robe works as intended there. I fear that it's not going to be possible to make it work on my latest save, but do you by any chance have any suggestions?
For reference, the Cloth of Authority UUID is 8b868b78-320b-43d0-b5a8-5e52669fc11e and the Tyrannical Jackboots UUID is 48408219-2ab9-4f08-8cb8-2d955fb3dae8
Thank you so much for your help! I had thought about trying this but wasn't sure if it would work. I don't consider myself to be very knowledgeable about modding BG3 haha. But this solution worked perfectly, thank you!!
If you would like to use both equipment files, begin a game with the Gortash Clothes for Guardian mod file. Once you leave the character creation screen, you can then install the Gortash hireling equipment file over the other equipment file, as the Guardian’s outfit becomes set after its initial generation.
Would this mod work with this one that alters Gortash's clothes? https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/4425
Also, it is possible to replace a different hireling with Gortash? I currently have Jacelyn customized to look like He Who Was. Or is it limited by the gender/race of the hirelings?
Thank you for making this mod, it's nice to have him hanging around camp :)
Not currently compatible with Gortash Stylist by default since the optional equipment file gives him a slightly different item iteration of his outfit, but this one I can look into!
Good question about the different hireling. Its not something I am going to implement currently, but may revisit this mod and look into it in the future. The issue is actually tied mostly to the voice file, which is sticking to the hirelings despite me editing it, so I suspect it is actually set in a different file that I need to look into further. It is certainly possible for the future, but unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to port him into a different slot currently!
Edit: An upcoming version of Gortash Stylist will copy the edited appearances on to the Cloth of Authority, which will give Gortash the same appearance with the equipment file. Keep an eye on Gortash Stylist for the update (predicted some time over the next week).
Gortash Stylist now has optional files available for download that will edit the appearance of the Cloth of Authority, thereby making it compatible with the optional equipment file for this mod!
Technically any character could be added as a hireling since it is just an appearance swap. I don’t personally have any interest in pursuing a version of this mod for Cazador, but if you were interested in pursuing the project yourself it is certainly possible.

There is an optional file to retain Gortash's stats.

Thank you for your time.
