ABOUT

Dragon Effect replaces the head mesh for custom Shepards with the head (and hair) mesh of a Dragon Age: Inquisition character.

Only Alistair, Cullen, and Morrigan are currently available, but I do hope to add more characters over time.



! IMPORTANT NOTES !

Character Creator: The ability to customize a custom Shepard's appearance in the character creator will be disabled. Deleting or disabling this mod will return full functionality to the character creator.

Installation: While you can have multiple characters simultaneously installed per game, you should disable the character(s) not currently in use to prevent conflicts. For example, if Cullen and Morrigan are both installed for LE2 or LE3, disable Cullen if you are currently using Morrigan. LE1 versions of the characters should, however, be fully uninstalled.

Renegade Scars: Renegade scars were edited to better fit the new head mesh, meaning that in both LE2 and LE3 they will not look correct on default Shepards while this mod is installed. Deleting or disabling the mod will revert the scars back to the default textures.

Texture Mods: Default eye and lash textures were used, so texture mods for those will apply to these mods. (See mod images for examples showing Primitives - A Facial Appearance Overhaul eyes and lashes.)



KNOWN ISSUES


Hair: Hair in the LE3 Squad screen and the clone's hair during the Citadel DLC may have extremely bright edges. I've been unable to fix this so far.

Neck Seam: I've tried to minimize this, but neck seams may still be noticeable at certain angles and/or in certain lighting.

ME3 Importing: Mass Effect 3 can reset the complexion when importing, so the Alistair mod's alternate complexions may need to be reapplied after character creation if they were being used with the imported save.



UPDATES

September 17, 2024: Alistair released. In addition to the usual Dragon Age: Inquisition complexion, permission was given for me to include two alternate complexions to choose from: OriginAlistair and OriginAlistair + Stubble, both from the awesome Emma Vakarian-Theirin's OriginAlistair mod! These are included with the mod as headmorphs that can be installed using the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager or Trilogy Save Editor.

July 6, 2024: Made some changes to Dragon Effect - Cullen (LE1) and Dragon Effect - Morrigan (LE1) in preparation of version 9.0 of ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. NOTE: As of version 1.0.1 of Dragon Effect - Cullen (LE1) and Dragon Effect - Morrigan (LE1), both mods must now be fully uninstalled when not in use - meaning that when you Manage Target in the mod manager, you'll need to delete the mod and restore the modified basegame file (EntryMenu.pcc).

March 30, 2024: Morrigan released.

October 7, 2023: Cullen released.



INSTALLATION

Install using the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. Drag and drop the downloaded .7z file into the mod manager, click 'Import Mods', then click 'Apply Mod' for each version of the mod (LE1, LE2, and LE3).

  • NEW GAME: If you've installed this mod before starting a new game, you're good to go.

  • EXISTING GAME: If you've installed this mod after already starting a game, click on 'Install Headmorph' (next to 'Apply Mod') to install the included headmorph. In the Headmorph Selector, select the headmorph you want to install and then choose which saves you want that headmorph applied to.

Uninstall or disable this mod at any time using the ME3Tweaks Mod Manager.
