Thanks so much for this mod! Its so embarrassing that after spending a literal decade making this game BioWare couldn't figure out how to fix the clipping issues besides adding these ridiculous masks which themselves cause atrocious clipping! /smh
Unfortunately, this mod doesn't work with the one helmet that I wanted to use which is Maferath's Betrayal, the gold and white one that matches Imperium's Resolve. If you can make that one work it would be amazing!
Edit: It works great except now every time I enter a conversation my hair turns white and it then permanently stays like that. The only way to fix it is to relog. I noticed you mentioned in the description that it sometimes does this when switching between helmets in the wardrobe but that it fixes itself after exiting the wardrobe interface. I am guessing its related to that but for some reason it persists now.
I stumbled on a workaround. If you toggle the helm to always be visible, instead of having it off during conversations like I had, when the game auto forces helms off when in conversations where facial expressions are key (or when there is a kissy scene, lol) then it doesn’t change the hair to white. It’s not perfect but it works for me because I really like the way the helm looks and it’s perfectly fine to have it on during minor conversations and quest cutscenes.
can you add a version of maferath's betrayal, the templar version? one that has the mask pulled down rather than gone completely to avoid the hair bug. I believe it's "tevinter soldier helmet 2" or something in the files
Same as others have said this is a great mod. Wanted to play a dwarf but losing the beard to so many helms was kind of killing the vibe. If you could get the helmet Paragon's Metal beard to allow facial hair to show with it you will have made my day.
Does this still work for other people? I downloaded it Nov 29, the day after the last update on this mod, but since the last patch, it hasn't worked. This is so crucial a quality of life mod, I really want it to work.
It works for me but there is a major bug where my rook's hair will turn grey or whitish in cut scenes or when I am hiding the helm after traveling. It was very annoying, so I disabled the mod.
@akanichiyoubi what stopped working? which helmets are you using?
@Kdarnell they coded everything around the socks, and the game seems to reset the color whenever anything hides it If you scroll down a bit, there's a workaround by Kerathras
Is there a possibility for an add-on that let's qunari keep vitaar and face tattoos/paint at the same time? Horny boiz and gurlz deserve some love too.
Qunari get vitaars (visually, a face tattoo) for the helmet slot. And when you toggle its appearance on, any face pain disappears from character model until toggled off - even if paint is somewhere on the neck area. Base face tattoos stick with it, which looks even weirder cause of visual overlap. Can send screenshots later if you need some to see how it looks in game
Ok, so this is how facial tattoo/paints look like with vitaar (helmets) turn off
And this is how the same facial tattoo/paints look with the helmet turn on
I don't think your mod deals with the issue like that, but maybe, like i said, it's possible to somehow implement not hiding things for qunari too (haven't played other races and dunno if they have something similar)
vitaars seem to be part of regular helmets (just visible for qunari) and not their own items. I can't find override settings for them but I'll keep looking
I'm not sure what you mean - there's a bit of hair under the hats. If you see a bald head, try exiting the inventory/wardrobe, it gets bugged when you switch between headwear
Almost exactly what I was looking for. Is it possible to allow for actual beards with helmets? Wanting to do a dwarf run but don't want my chin to get cold.
