No Alphabets 7.1 — Baldur's Gate 3

[Deadpan55]

Makes sense. What I'll do is, roll back to previous version of Aesthetics (only astarion was changed). And upload an option Astarion pants mod.

Thanks. Also, can someone explain to me how to tag others in your comments. I'm sure it's probably obvious... But here we are.

@<username>. A dropdown will pop up and you can pick the username that matches. If you've done it right, it will appear as smention tags.

if you start typing @name it will show you list of users. click or tap or them and it will auto tag. The actual tag is :

Code: Select all

[smention]username[/smention]

I've separated Astarion's Pants now

I am new to this sort of stuff, but from what I understand you need to type this symbol @ and then type the name of the user you wish to mention. For example @Deadpan55 . You will see it do this

Click on the white box and it will become this

Hope this helps!
EDIT: didn't realize it was answered already by the time I got the images together XD

I thought you would get quests and dialogues about important/interesting aspects of their characters, like asking Astarion about living in the sun, deepening on the point of him finally be able to touch running water without burning, or what effect does garlic have on him, if any, or anything such thing.

totally forgot to mention, i absolutely hated how they cut that small piece of dialogue from EA when companions (and Tav) eat a moldy pie in Ethel's house and cuss themselves for doing so, especially when done twice. players did expect devs to add Astarion's reaction to garlic after finding out about those pies, but instead Larian completely removed that feature from the final release.

Lucretious is now a human woman.

my brain automatically switched to that one tumblr post where the word "woman" was censored and marked as trigger warning... anyway, great work making trannie lovers **** their pants harder

I might actually replay it once you are done fixing it. Amazing work!

Nice! Getting another one gets into bg3 due to Orin the evil's abominable game mod.

I'm not planning any more npc changes for No Alphabets. The game is mostly lgbtq free Everything now is bug fixes and new patch compatibilities.

Not gay whatsoever.

Literally a ***.

Stop harassing ****** queen.

Stop harassing ****** queen.

Can't stand the street-shitess. Pray everyday some rogue elephants stampede her.

I'll reply to this in 24 hours.

[orinEsque]

GGS creates nothing of substance. Says nothing of substance. Shits all over the forum. Then calls me a shittess. how ironic. You (GGS) are the definition of a failure. Have you chopped your balls off at your inadequacy yet?

[Envuen]

Big update today. Lucretious is now a human woman

Wow, no more drag! Thank you so much for this change!

Got a question though, why the name change? Lucretia is a feminine name, so it would fit her current normal woman persona. "Lucretious" implies a male. Was this intentional on your part?

Lucretious is the vanilla name actually. They call her Mama Lucretious. It's a bit of a flamboyant enough name so i haven't bothered dubbing over her name.

[orinEsque]

Those who are here for the mod. Ignore GGS. It's clearly a triggered ***** begging for attention.

Ooh, gotcha, my bad. It's been a while since I played the circus so I assumed it was " Lucretia " by default.

Either way fantastic job, on behalf of everyone thank you so much for making this game more pure.

You're welcome. There will be a ***** grabbing some **** tonight when he finds out a sane person erased some LGBTQ in the offline copy of his video game.

[Deadpan55]

@orinEsque Wow, you did a really great job with Lucretious. Feels and sounds much more natural, especially considering it's still the same actor and everything, very impressive.

Thanks <3. I've come a long since Hunker's Boolean edit.

A bit late, but here's some handy proof that Astarion's modded trousers will even work on outfit mods that are using the ugly cowboy ones. It's nice that I can keep his puffy doublet that actually hides his bite marks.



Only drawback to this specific outfit is that you have to be very particular about dyes, as most look strange on the doublet. It's even trickier with these new trousers due to using cloth material rather than leather, but worth it.

that actually hides his bite marks

I absolutely do not understand what was behind the decision of leaving bite marks on Astarion, yet none on any of the spawns. It makes zero sense.
He looks great though, love the doublet from beta! (I think it's that one?)
Also, if you hate those stupid bite marks as much as I do, there's this simple edit from nexus:

I spotted some clipping on the left side . I might edit another leather specific trouser model in the future and do an update for astarion. Pretty new to texture editing or I'd change the physical map to leather.

I think they should have consistently put bite marks on all vampires. I expect those don't heal because they were still human when they got those.

While that makes sense in idea and I agree with it, it doesn't work with the rest of their stupid spawns.
How come none have the marks, no one, not even any of the characters that Astarion can bite on his own? Yet he has them?
Slightly silly to me. One of the reasons I installed hair mod for Astarion early on - so he has long length hair to hide the neck.

[Envergence]

Honestly, I assume they were too lazy to give the other spawn custom complexions, and it's likely as deep as that. However, they overcompensated by giving them eyes as bright and obvious as stop lights and piranha teeth.

I assumed the point of the collar of his EA doublet was to hide the bite marks and keep fewer marks from connecting the dots, but then again since vampires heal their injuries in a superhuman way (IIRC), maybe you're right and he shouldn't have the marks at all. Although, Orin's point is a good one, too. We can always reason away the back scars as being made with a special dagger that made them permanent, I suppose.

Orin, if you're talking about those metallic buckle things, don't worry! Those are metal bits that are attached to the ends of those weird strap things on the doublet. I noticed no clipping whatsoever, have no fear.

Awesome. So we just need a leather variant. I can probably alter Pants_H and try. I think its leather (?)

[Silver]

giving them eyes as bright and obvious as stop lights and piranha teeth.

Yeah. I saw the reasoning for "bright red eyes" being - they are being compelled and controlled by Cazador, hence the super bright "charmed" eyes.
But, if being super picky, charm effects aren't visual.
You might have a super mega high insight character that can understand that person is charmed, but to just see those flares? Nuh.
Piranha teeth are straight up ugly to me and, again, take away the point of vampires attempting to blend in with humans.

No glow and a more "sneaky" version of vamp teeth.

I'm using those exact mods! Can't wait to see them in action when I get to act 3, several years from now.

Larian go way too over the top with their design decisions, and VFX and SFX are some of the biggest offenders. They either think characters in-world would think nothing of the overly fantastical effects, or they expect the player to do a lot of heavy lifting to suspend disbelief. I don't know who's in charge of those aspects of the game, but how they don't find most of what they make to be overstimulating is beyond me. Countless people complain about the endlessly looping NPC conversations, for instance, to the point where there is no conceivable way they're oblivious to how unpleasant people find it, and they still keep doing the same thing. Sorry for the off-topic rant, lol.

thank dog there's a mod on nexus that removes those glowing eyes, they were certainly... an eyesore

i literally didn't want to wear my favorite Shadespell Circlet because of that black smoke vfx. Blood of Lathander and Moonlight glaive hurt my eyes with their ******* sun plasma glow, and i have to say, i hate i can't paint weapons like them clothes. i hate how most of enchanted weapons covered in gold or whatever that **** is, too.
