Any ETA on the De-girlboss mod? After a few hours in Act 3, the cringe of every single captain, lieutenant, important bridge guard, mafia/pirate bosses etc being women got exhausting, to the point that when one NPC mentioned an important NPC I needed to talk with I could clearly guess if they were going to be a woman.It got so bad, I took a break from the game and I still haven't got back to finish it.

If we exclude the main cast of secondary characters (Thorm, Gortash, Raphael...) and focus just on regular NPCs, this game is clearly misandrist, putting all females in positions of power and leaving men just as brainless, lineless grunts. This decision is especially idiotic and cringeworthy since, in real life, men would usually rank into positions of power where high risk is involved more than women because they are more incentivised by the benefits these positions can bring (more mates, resources) while females tend to avoid dangerous jobs and positions.

My first cringe were the 3 female Zentharim in the Goblin camp like these 3 ******* wouldn't be raped, killed and eaten the minute the stepped foot into the camp. One thing is if they were powerful mages but they were just rogues. I hope the mod changes them into men, honestly. I have a long list of recommendations if you are interested. And thank you, it must not be easy to revoice all these characters but the game will definitely be much, much better after you release this mod.

A year or two maybe. Don't count on that one being quick. Work is ongoing but it's not a matter of just changing some values in code like this one.

Got it. I understand. It's a titanic effort. Maybe you can start with the worse offenders and release the mod in tiers?

Yeah we will likely do something along that line.

re: original Planescape tieflings: even within 2e there was an evolution. In the very first 1994 Planescape book, which included A Player's Guide to the Planes, tiefling was a synonym of planetouched and just meant a human who had been touched by some Outer Plane. It was described to be an unpleasant and subtle thing - the physical trait examples were "a shadow of a knife-edge to their face, a little too much fire in their eyes, a scent of ash", and they couldn't be LG - but the book didn't directly mention the Lower Planes or devils/demons at all.

The screenshot above is from the Planewalker's Handbook, which came out two years later, and introduced the now-familiar classification where planetouched encompasses aasimar, genasi, and tieflings. Tieflings are described as descendants of "everything else", but points out that "everything else" almost always means the Lower Planes, hence their bad reputation.

On Faerûn, Tieflings arrived with the 3e FR Campaign setting, where they stayed pretty much the same, with a couple of physical traits selected from a varied list. They are also described as being largely confined to Mulhorand, Thay and Unther - places that had a lot of godly manifestations and/or fiends traipsing around for a long time.

Interestingly, the splatbook Races of Faerûn went further and introduced elf-tieflings, the fey'ri (demon-blooded sorcerers from a corrupted sun elf House) and orc-tieflings, the tanarukk. Frankly they have a pretty stark Warcraft 3 vibe, AFAIK nobody liked them much and they got very quickly shoved under the carpet; old WotC was perfectly capable of making terrible creative decisions before the modern nonsense.

The 4e FR Player's Guide is the one that 'standardized' the tieflings as you probably know them, with reddish skin, tail and horns being described as standard for the entire race. It is also the one that described them as having spread a bit all over Faerun, especially in the big cities, although they still have a 'heartland' in the high-magic countries of the East where they're even described as 'common'.

The 5e Player's Handbook didn't change much - tieflings are still described as having reddish skin. The more varied appearance actually seems to come from the 2015 Sword Coast Adventurer Guide, which establishes that (a) due to some bullshittery, Asmodeus claimed ascendance over all the existing "standard" tieflings, and (b) after that, other non-Asmodeus-lineage tieflings appeared, which could have had somewhat different traits. They are described in this sidebar:

We can blend some of the easier ones (2-3 liners) with Zarys voice maybe? She doesn't have that many people mentioning her, for pronounce rework in dialogue. And make like an early version of de-girlboss? Collect ~10'ish NPCs for it.

Well i personally need a break. I'm jaded from modding RR.

Are the women not enough the way they are ingame? No need to give them *****-attire and porn bodies. Shadowheart and co are good looking as is.

There's a random Flaming Fist in Last Light who is a ***** in vanilla, but in Better Aesthetics (precursor to RR) she came out so pretty I actually stopped to admire her for a minutes or two.

e: it's the one that is taking care of the comatose guy (lucky *******)

Is she the one for whom I used the Pretty Tiefling face, but kept everything else the same? So she didn't have horns, but had that lovely face, sharp teeth, and human eyes?

One of the fake paladins or Tyr.
Somehow I do not think this was intended.

I found the issue, it was a Mod conflict with the following mod.

Immersive Nudity
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/15009

I had to use the MOD Uninstallation tool to get rid of it, otherwise it breaks your save.
I was not impressed by it, it will not be missed.

I wouldn't say that I was trolling, because that implies some sort of ragebait attempt, as far as I know English slang.
I was just joking, calm down you guys, I didn't actually put a **** for Shadowheart mod in my game, it was nothing more than a provocative deception I fecit for comical effect and general amusement...

QoS tattooed maiden in a world cleansed of black skinned individuals by this mod is quite comedic.
