New Alistair

I had this idea and thought I would share the results for those interested.

I decided to have a little fun tweaking Alistair just a smidge, but only a smidge 'cause he already looks good. It occurred to me that he possibly more than any of the other companions would age, or weather, during the game. He is so much more naive when we first meet him. So I created two faces, one younger than the other. The differences are slight, after all he doesn't age 100 years overnight.

I also thought that as soon as he was out of the Chantry he would probably want to do something to symbolize his freedom from their restrictions, hence the earring. I felt he isn't likely to get a tattoo and it's a way to emulate his mentor, Duncan.

Download the .zip and extract. Copy the desired .mor into your Dragon Age/packages/core/override folder. If you decide to start younger and age him, just replace the younger version with the older one later. Or if you like the weathered one, closer to the original, paste that one in. My own preference is to start younger and then after Orzammar replace with the older version. After all, if seeing a broodmother and being involved with two crazy paragons doesn't age you, what will?

My thanks to Bioware for a great game which has provided me with many hours of entertainment, and the toolset which allows me to play for more. I also want to thank all the modders out there. You have inspired me.

Special thanks to the following modders whose mods I used for my Alistair (they are required):

Tucked Hair by tmp7704 (make sure to download the earring version file) - http://social.bioware.com/project/2595/

TMP7704's chargen does not include the earring versions of the hairstyles. You can either edit a chargen or download the one I provided. Thanks. I'm not sure if you need to update the chargen for the game, but at least the info is here if you do.
