About this mod

Gives the Greybeards the unique, flowing, vanilla-friendly beards that true sages of the Voice deserve.

Permissions and credits
Majestic Greybeards

Have you ever been miffed that the Greybeards, an order literally named after their facial hair, have generic, mostly pretty reasonably-sized beards shared by tons of other NPCs? Yes? Me too. Now, the Greybeards have their own unique beards, with all the volume and splendor that you first imagined on the way up the "7,000" steps back in November of 2011. Best of all: each beard has been selected to match that Greybeard's vanilla beard type, so each monk's visual aesthetic has been preserved and they're all still recognizable! Well, if you're like me and can recognize the Greybeards, that is. Most people probably don't know who Einarth is at all, poor guy.

  • Arngeir gets the biggest beard of all: a long braided number.
  • Wulfgar gets a long, majestic beard with no frills.
  • Einarth gets his thin beard lengthened to epic proportions.
  • Borri gets a fluffy beard that makes up for its length in volume.

This file does not make any other edits to the Greybeards at all. Their AI, inventory, hair color, star signs, et cetera are all still the same. It's only the beards.

Is this incompatible with [X]?
This is probably not compatible with mods that edit the four Greybeards' NPC records directly or replace their facegen; you'll have to patch those yourself. It should be compatible with, like, literally everything other than that, as far as I can tell. These beards use whatever beard textures you have installed; screenshots are taken with vanilla textures. The exported facegen included in the mod is also based on vanilla; you can re-export it if needed.

Are the beards playable?
No. They are for the Greybeards only. Get Beards of Power if you'd like to wield these godlike beards--and many, many others--for yourself.

Will you make a patch for [X] NPC overhaul?
Probably not, so please don't ask me. You can make one yourself, though! It's really easy.

Paarthurnax is a Greybeard. Does he get a new beard, too?
Well, uh, no, but now I kind of want to...
