Karlach Resculpted 1.1 — Baldur's Gate 3

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

Correct, plus she's a *****

Really. Didn’t know that by the interactions I had with her.

All the characters are player-sexual sluts
Compared to other characters, it takes until Act 3 for a sex scene with her, and it's not shown, unlike Minthara.
The issue is, after that, she's one of the characters that's open to that brothel orgy, and is disappointed if you reject Halsin.
Aside from that, there's dialogue about how she remembers some things about being promiscuous, but I can't remember it.

BG3 is all the worst aspects of video game romances roll up to one giant ball of awfulness.

[Magick]

Doesn't Shadowheart have a man jaw with a ***** best friend?

Correct, plus she's a *****

Really. Didn’t know that by the interactions I had with her.

Funny that, isn't it. There's no "*****" voice. Just masculine / feminine.

There’s no such thing as a “*****” . I’m of tired of there delusions, just because someone cuts off there **** and wears a wig doesn’t make them a woman.

We would call that the mentally insane in a sane healthy society.

[Reichspepe]

Unpopular opinions, I think Minthara has a nice face and voice

She's the only attractive woman in the entire game. She would be my favorite if there was no Astarion.

[Bruuth]

Nice work. Atleast it seems bit better than the current in game one. But honestly i dislike Karlach the most from any original characters. She is basically girl boss/strong woman with comfy fussy twist. Nothing hot in her.

I hope in future there is work made/done that replaces her with something totally else and character gets Ser Aylin level AI voice level treatment etc on dialogs etc. But that's just my 2 cents. Not everyone has to agree with it but i'm sure there are people still who do.

Till that day i just need to behead her every time. I just can't stand her voice/narrative etc.

I didn't make this because I'm a fan of her or the Journalist that wrote her.
I found it super annoying how she lectured me about sending Wyll packing. Very Reddit-orientated character that feels out of place.
Just enjoyed improving the face.

@Kowe is currently working on replacing characters, and intends to make Karlach a male Tiefling Barbarian instead.

That unironically sounds easier and more thematically fitting than finding a way to make Karlach feminine. lol

[Xenich]

Man I think that datamined head is actually an improvement

Over the one they went with?



It's less attractive. Doesn't really fit the voice or final character. Too mature & gruff looking. At least it's Caucasian though.

Gruff? I see a dude.

I understand. No pun intended on my behalf.

Having male tiefling to replace her would be good one.

It sure is. Someone else apparently also have played lineage the blood pledge

Played myself Ken Rauhel back in the day (actually played the game at -99 when it was in beta also ) and at some private servers after NA shutdown. Such a shame they shutdown such a good game. Truly hardcore oldschool mmo.

In terms of how much of "Karlach" you're left with...
Just the Karl, without the ACK.
There's too much of her character that is about being a natty girlboss, so at that point, you may as well just create an entirely new female character, because a toned-down tomboy isn't really going to cut it.

An ugly dude at that.
Is gruff something you usually use to describe women?

The manhwa the game was based on is pretty good too. It was translated to english a few years ago.

[buttfucker 3000]

Why is everyone in this game so ugly?

Shadowheart - attractive
Karlach - pretty face but *****'s body
Jaheira - old but still got it
Minthara - ***** with smoker's voice
Lae'zel - I would rather **** male companions

2.5/5 - for recent western game this is amazing

Your eyes are ********. Minthara is by far the hottest woman in the game.

I think you might be a closeted homosexual, gothisbuttfucked 3000, which is why you find the woman with a masculine jaw attractive

You find Shadowslut attractive, whose jawline would give the Crimson Chin a run for their money. Are you gay?

[Varkcus]

Is there a way to keep the original karlach eyes but have the modded face?

[Luckmann]

@ArcaneLurker: I'd like to echo @Varkcus's sentiment and request a version with Karlach's "normal" eyes. I think it's one of her humanizing aspects, and while I love the added "devilry" of the face with its new scars and such, I'd very much like to keep her eyes as they were. Truly, your resculpt is a massive improvement over the base game.

Also, this mod has the ModFixer baked into it. That should no longer be necessary, so you should be able to ditch that entirely.

The modded eyes are already in an optional one.

I thought the optional download was for the burning eyes, based on the description? Because in the main download she's absolutely not got her normal eyes, but the black ones. I'd test the file but I can't until tomorrow.

I assumed you did it yourself, like many other mods; simply took the ModFixer files and threw them into the mod, since the mod needed the ModFixer to work anyway. I haven't actually examined your mod, but the modmanagers now come with a small alert when a mod supposedly contains the ModFixer.

If you really have no idea what I'm talking about I'll investigate tomorrow.

Ah yeah, it is in there. I'll remove it and sort the eye out.

[Luckmann]

Would it be possible to add back the rest of Karlach's hair? The half shaved look is so tired and boring now, and it also doesn't fit in a medieval setting. I like the look of her vanilla hair except for that.

Her hair looks great aside from the sidecut, yes, but no, there's no way to "add back the rest of Karlach's hair", because there's simply no model in the game for her hair without the sidecut. You'd have to model an entirely new piece of hair.

Which is theoretically possible, but you'd have to find and convince someone capable of doing that.

[ArunnyE]

I unfucked the eyes and removed the ModFixer:
Karlach Resculpted (Normal Eyes)

It is entirely possible that I broke something important, because I went in there like a bull in a china shop, not knowing exactly what needed replacing, but it seems to be working after a few attempts.

Looks nearly identical to Raphael's head model. Very tiny differences.

[Auld_SnawBeard]

Really good work, I like this Karlach.

Edit: I couldn't get the alternative eyes to work. Have the game-patches broken it, or am I just placing it wrong in the mod-order? (I've tried several spots oc)

Do you mean the regular eyes? Check ArunnyE's post just above.

I ment the flaming eyes. They don't change anything for me. But thanks for pointing out the other file, I'll try that.

Her neck is far too much like a giraffe, her face is manly. I don't care what you tell me. That's a man.
