ABOUT THE CONTENT OF THE MOD:
The mod comes as it is. I will not change it for your personal taste and I am not interested if you prefer this character like this or that. I will not make this mod de-standalone for your specific modlist and taste (that includes another body version - as textures are custom edited and would give me double of work, HDT-SMP for hair or armor and makeup adjustments), I will not release my presets and I would be so happy if you respect my will as the author, because it keeps me motivated to continue sharing content with the community instead of simply stopping because of disrespect and harassment, which also means more mods for you, for free. Everyone wins.
Sometimes I can take suggestions (based in the enhancement of the mod, not in your personal preference), but give them respectfully and have patience if I am willing to make some modification on this based on your suggestions. I have a full time irl job and other things to do, modding is just a hobby for me and is not on my priority list.
File credits
Why in Oblivion you would help a Thalmor agent? Well... The answer is simple: To have one of the coolest friends Skyrim can provide you and one of the best-written modded companions out there!
This is an overhaul of our dearest Taliesin that I made for my game and now I share with the community. I know we have many visual replacers for Tally, but... why not? I tried my best to stay true to original concept for Tally's aesthetics, to match his voice with his looks and give him a mature, war veteran look, but still keeping his sassyness, his sense of humour and that lovely expression of someone that is preparing himself to have a horrible day at work.
I worked a bit on his textures, so he will has his own exclusive set of BnP skin with some little details, like scars in his chest and back, a little burn mark in his arm and a face complexion with enhanced details. He uses my The Common Guy HIMBO Body Preset and works perfectly with The New Gentleman or Schlongs of Skyrim (I personally recommend The New Gentleman tbh). Thanks to AnnAccident he also has a Vanilla Body option for those that want to stay modest and keep the "Biggus Dickus" away from their game, and she also provided an exclusive hairstyle, true to original ponytail! Even Berwhale have a new look!
INSTALLATION, REQUIREMENTS & KNOWN ISSUES
So far, we don't have any issues with this replacer, but if you find something that could be fixed (that means a proper issue and not something regarding aesthetic choice that doesn't please anything besides your own taste), please let me know in the comments. You must install first the original mod (doh) and after my Overhaul, letting it override any files the mod manager asks.
NOTE: If you want my Berwhale (beautiful dagger made by SiRiUs1503) you should not install the Berwhale replacer on the original mod page, or it will cause conflicts!
CREDITS & THANKS
This mod is a collab with my sis AnnAccident, she provided this lovely custom hairstyle and kindly made the plugin for the mod. Check her profile to see her amazing works and drop her a kudos! <3
A big, huge, enourmous, massive, immense THANK YOU for Vanessa M (DynamiteGal124) and Pat Mahoney (NevermorePJM) for Taliesin's creation, the gods knows how I am obsessed with him! I also thank Vanessa for patiently answering me some stuff when I asked her about permission to create this overhaul, as I was trying to be the most respectful possible with their source material and Tally as a character. You guys rock and I hope you like this mod!
I also want to thank Olympus2917, AnnAccident and Ntz1n for the beautiful screenshots he made with Tally!
