Realms Restored 3.0 — Baldur's Gate 3

This mod feels more canon than the vanilla game. It finally makes Isobel look like the "pretty girl with the sweetest face" she’s described as.

It also makes me wish Larian hadn’t played it so "safe". Despite how edgy the Dark Urge is supposed to be, they never really left the "safe edgy" zone and stuck to cartoonish villainy. We can kill Isobel, sure, but we can't romance her (Stealing her from Aylin would be absolute kino, but they'd never allow it because of MuH LesBiAns), corrupt her, or force her to renounce Selune for Bhaal. Such a massive wasted potential. Honestly, the way BG3 handles an evil playthrough reminds me of this meme, lol:

i prefer Hijimare's version more but yes, Larian decided they needed extra buck and one more year to remove vanilla Isobel's wrinkles, which never ******* happened ofc. HQ fixed their **** for free and didn't abandon the game under the "gotta work on Divinity Original ****** 3 now" sauce

I gotta give my vote to Silver's version. And it's not just because I'm biased.

Why are Isobel's aesthetics so divisive? Feel like no matter how she looks, only a fraction of people will be happy how she looks

You can never make people 100% happy with a mod like this. It's just the way this is. People can always override what they don't like with a nexus ***** mod of their liking.

Because most people have **** taste. I feel like most of the RR choices are on point, and avoid to fall into the anime weeb pretty round or bimbofication face traps.

I didn't know how to put it, but this is exactly my gripe with the Hijimare Isobel, the face is so smooth it looks like its straight out of a ***** game. And yeah the face shape reminds me of a potato.

I came across this site last night and aI can Finnally enjoy this game. Thank god for modders. BTW - Soulless Husk - ahahahhahahaha. I guess that's me. I don't like Dark Urge Background. This is truly the best mod for BG3, i despised black elves and black nobility in BG3, among thousands of other things. Also, I can finally enjoy female Astarion, Wyll and Gale - those three were so ******* annoying. Also had to change Halsin to Halsina. I did use some hijamare visual mods, just for preference.

Silver's version gets my vote. It just looks more "realistic" whereas that other version looks kind of plastic, two-dimensional, Barbie-doll perfect.

The kind of Isobel that @Val the Moofia Boss would appreciate [derogative].

Indeed, like it belongs in some ***** anime-style game.
It probably wouldn't look as bad if all the other characters were in that style, but then what about the NPCs etc?

Oh well, this is modding for ya, personal preference and options.

I run into a slight problem, I am trying to use Hijimare Aylin model, but it refuses to overwrite the male one from this mod, while his Alfira or Mizora works. Very interesting, but extremely confusing, load order is correct, I even put it at bottom, and it still didn't overwrite.

Aylin has 7 different files that overwrites 7 different scenes/cinematics. Plus No Alphabets forces the game to think her skeleton is a male now. And Hijimare's version will not change any of those files.

Its impossible unless you uninstall all of No Alphabets.

Thanks for quick answer, that's fine. This mod is still the best in all BG3 modding community.

I think this is it, and very important. There's so many mods with supremely **** taste that just turns things "pretty" with no regard for what looks reasonable or natural, driving things straight into the uncanny valley.

@orinEsque just so you know RR is kinda incompatible with Lynia's Ketheric - modded hair clip through the hood

Good. Aside from the facemask that could've been cool to see Ketheric put on in a scene in the final fight, Lynia's Ketheric looks like **** and is at odds with Ketheric's entire character and vibe, and adds a bunch of poorly implemented equipment items. It is very gay, and while the models are certainly well-crafted, the whole thing falls under the aforementioned **** taste. There's no reason to even consider compatibility concerns with wildly divergent random mods, and would be a fool's errand.

With this one in particular, we won't be making any patches. We do appreciate you letting us know, though. MTG Zevlor patch was quite contested as it is btw, that's why it didn't make it into the main RR mod.
