Halsin facelift

Say goodbye to plump cheeks and drooped eyelids - it used to be a brief description of fashion, but people were insulting him. Do what you want from it.

It seems necessary to have a DISCLAIMER about my fashion. Note, not for my sake; it's for your own peace of mind.

Please see the spoiler below

Spoiler: Show

Halsin is a forest elf. He is not only a fictional character, but also a member of a fictional, long-lived race, and this race is depicted in the laura of the Forgotten Realms universe.

Each fictional character is subject to individual interpretation of character traits, including physical ones. Thus, if one person perceives a fictional character in one way, another person may experience the same character in a completely different way. They are both right in their impressions, because it is an individual experience.

All forms of fiction exist to entertain. If you find some form of fiction close to, inspiring and/or instructive in some sense, it means that it does its job successfully. But your own experiences aren't the same for everyone, and that's fine.

Fictional characters should not serve as an example for a real person, problem, or group. They are the product of imagination and, as such, cannot set a standard for elements of real life. If you have problems in real life, and you worry a lot about some things in real society, using fiction as a weapon to solve a problem makes no sense, because the example you use is taken from an imaginary setting.

Modifying a fantasy character according to personal taste and imagination with the help of any form of art is completely normal and even expected. If people would never allow themselves to imagine things in their own way, often differently than many others do, then we would have no artistic expression at all.

If a person (in this case, a modder) wants to share their vision with others, they do so for the sake of other people who share the same type of imagination, and may lack the opportunity and/or time to make the same type of fashion for themselves. In fact, it is a generous, friendly act (at least for me). It doesn't mean that a modder or people who like fashion make a statement about something in real life and try to impose it on everyone.

According to my personal canon, all elven subraces (in all fictional universes, not just Forgotten Realms) are not visually older than 40, no matter how old they are. That's why I was concerned that Halsin looked like a 50+ year old - and only facial features, while his body is quite young. On the other hand (for comparison), Mintara, who is also an elf and claims to be very old, looks barely thirty.

The way developers visualize characters in their games is, again, the personal taste of the creators of these characters. Fashions exist to satisfy the personal taste of users who cherish their own vision.

So to sum up:

downloading mods, and even recording them in any form, is completely optional and based on free choice of the person.

If you like my fashion the way it is, and maybe you like it for the same reasons that inspired me to create it, feel free to use it in your game.

If for any reason you don't like my mod, please move on and refrain from chasing other people. Please be respectful to others if you expect that you will be respected in turn.

However, if you are genuinely convinced that I am causing real harm to Nexus users - or you personally - by posting this mod, feel free to complain about me.

Thank you.

Our dear Elf-henchman has received a makeover.

The weeds are flattened, and the eyelids are tighter. The textures are cleaned of pigment spots, the grooves and wrinkles become less visible.

In addition, Halsin's unique hair model has been altered to make it thicker and the tips slightly longer.

Optional files:

- Sharper teeth: sharper teeth on my modified head mesh. I molded them from his original mesh of teeth, they're not replaced by teeth from other meshes of the head. It's a fragrance that supports Halsin's dual animal nature, use it if you like. The Main File has its normal, standard teeth.

- Older textures: Halsin's default textures are more visible, but still retain the details of my custom textures. The fragrance, if you prefer, is more weathered and closer to vanilla.

Both optional files can also work separately or together.

Head nets support Halsin's standard hairstyle and textures created for the head by default.
