#mod used: ring of metamorph

[owlbearwildshape]

Rolan can have a bit of necromancy, as a treat.

[csphire]

Big thank you to MUNMOMUU for the Ring of Metamorph!

Ladies and Gents this mod works on the kiss with little to no fuss. The romance scenes look a bit more complicated as some work arounds are needed. But at least with this mod, you can see what he's like with a variety of new animations.

The ring is also now available in Act 3! ^_^

Definitely want to do a run with character swaps so I can romance Jaheira, and maybe Minsc

I was gonna ask who or what character I should play/make, but honestly, Karlach should get to be in the middle of that MILF/himbo sandwich

Leaning Shadowheart!Jaheira — loves animals, half elf, but cynical and dour/harsh personality

Halsin!Minsc would let me romance them both without mods, but would mean turning the himbo into a big, wise, horny, burdened archdruid.

On the other hand — Halsin talking to and beaming as he holds Boo

On the other hand, I've decided to put off act 3 indefinitely to save my computer, so I won't get to see that any time soon

[strangedime]

just wanted to share this with as much people as possible

Edit: for y'all asking, this is from Lorroakan's scene when confronting him with Aylin - I used the Ring of Metamorph mod to replace him with Gale

Edit 2: same scene but with Rolan >>Here<<

The WINNER of the Tournament of fav tumblr rpg male romances is...

The Master of the Vollante

The Babe of Frontiers

The Heart of the Gate

WYLL RAVENGARD

Enjoy this two minute FANVIDEO DEDICATED TO HIM (don't miss the final quote, it is my favorite), I used the most appropriate song ever. Congrats, Wyll with a y!

(he is the hero, but he also needs a hero to sweep him off his feet, get it?)

With about 1235 votes, Wyll beat Garrus in the finals of the tournament. This gives him the title of best tumblr rpg blorbo and babygirl.

(more under cut about the Wyll's sweep and his character)

Wyll jumped into the tournament qualifying among 69 total characters, and being the most voted of his section in round zero! Wyll was also the most voted OVERALL in round one where he got about 6420 votes against Cullen (88% of votes). Round two saw him winning a very close competition against Zevran, and in round three he won with almost double the votes against Astarion! Again with double the votes he won against Dorian Pavus in the semifinals!

Very appropriate for him to win as his character is truly a romantic at heart and his actor even revealed in an interview that the romantic scenes were his favorite to film.

Wyll is a companion and romancable option for any gender in Baldur's Gate 3. You will meet him while he is in pursuit of a devil, just to find out that the honor and code he is trying to live by might be clashing with the path he could be choosing.

Wyll's romance has a kiss that has been nominated (and won) for "favorite kiss ever in a rpg game by me and for my opinion only and I just love it".

Man who will crack a joke when you least expect it

EVEN WHEN IT REALLY IS NOT THE TIME

Just to turn around and offer you the most heart shattering and unwavering support

Monster smasher (in all senses) hero, who truly needs someone at his side who makes sure he fights his own battles too, not just the trials of the coast!

Very happy to see he is currently (with all the biases and limitations of such polls, of course) the favorite romance in the rpg fandoms here on tumblr (for male characters)!!

Please, make sure to also jump in the female characters tournament!!

Also, CONGRATULATIONS TO GARRUS who came second in the tournament, and FENRIS who came third! (as he had more votes than Dorian, in the semifinals)

*In the fanvideo there are the seven clips that are not from Wyll games. I wanted to write them down as this is supposed to be a rec for his romance, so I don't want to trick people!

00:16 I modded Wyll into Karlach and used Astarion as player character (Karlach romance scene act 3)

00:38 Astarion romance scene, I played as Wyll but I flipped the character with the ring of metamorph mod so Wyll could pick up Astarion

00:50 Like the first clip, this is Karlach scene from act 3

00:51 I modded Karlach into Wyll, this is her scene from act 1

00:53 I modded Shadowheart into Astarion and I was playing as Wyll, this is Shadowheart romance scene in act 1

00:59 This is Astarion romance scene in act 2, I was playing as Wyll

01:07 The hug is from Astarion romance, epilogue, where I was playing as Wyll

[astarionposting]

Darling heart, I loved you from the start.

sorry gale i stole your kiss cause it is my favourite LOL (galemancers do not come for me i will make a set for him I PROMISE!!) and im gonna steal another cute one he has... then i'll make one of astarion's new kiss

also GIRL HER DRESS IS CLIPPING AND I JUST NOTICED I AM MAD!!! also kind of unhappy with the lighting i shoulve done it in front of a fireplace or smth

also for those who cant use ring of metamorph to swap characters now, use npc tool OR appearance edit mod (right now it is bugging for me when resculpting unfortunately, but I had a save where gale was turned into an elf so i was able to use the mirror to put astarion's head on him lol, but body is diff)

hiiiii!!!! i am just wondering what mods you use to put raphael in the romance cutscenes? i only really have ring of metamorph and that doesn't really work in the romance scenes for me :sob:

Hello there. :) I use these excellent mods together:

1. Appearance Edit Enhanced. This mod allows me to completely change the look of any of my companions, so I can make them look like Raphael in the character creation. Depending on the romance scene, I change the companion I need for that.

2. Raphael Heads. This mod adds Raphael's human and cambion heads to the character creation.

3. Raphael's Colour Preset Archive. This mod has the custom hair, eye and skin colors Raphael uses as options in the character creation. Both human and cambion, Haarlep is also included.

4. Raphael Outfit. This mod adds human and cambion Raphael's outfit and boots. It has both armor and camp versions.

5. Ring of Metamorph. This mod has Raphael's human and cambion form that can be cast onto NPCs. Like you mentioned, it doesn't work with all romance scenes, there are some scenes that revert the applied look. This happens because of the custom body models the game uses for certain cutscenes. For those, I use the Script Extender.

6. Norbyte's Baldur's Gate 3 Script Extender. I used the console commands of this script extender to play some of the romance scenes like Minthara's or Mizora's.

All these mods can be found on Nexus Mods. I hope this list helped.

Which animations are you using for these amazing Astarion stills? He has an intensity on his face I haven't seen

It's Sharts "kiss me like you hate me" (kissing the shoulders one) kiss using the kisses mod! I just turn my character invisible with ring of metamorph and take pictures because yeah he looks like he's tracking his prey in that animation and I LOVE it. I take as many pictures with it as I can because the kisses change after act II (depending on what Shart does but yeah)

[owlbearwildshape]

this is the first playthrough I've explored this level of Ramazith's tower

I like the idea of Rolan hanging out on his balcony at this one bit that has some books, a beer, a backpack and some writing equipment

[anderstrevelyan]

fun fact: if you turn white-haired Shadowheart into Gortash using the ring of metamorph mod, you get white-haired Gortash

[kitthenameless]

I found it really frustrating trying to find info on how to get scenes and locations with different characters for BG3 screenshots, so I wanted to make a list of the mods I've used, to help others. (Big thanks to all these modders and tutorial makers!)

Script extender tutorials from Moxi - for swapping character models, teleporting to locations, and triggering romance scenes

"Ultimate Cheat Spell Collection" by Narmeleth - for raising approval or setting romances, to do scenes you can't do with script extender

"Kisses" + "Hugs" by cerberry

"Emotes - Poses and Toggle Walk" by claravel

"Stay still in camp and play idle animations everywhere" by SatanModding

"Recruit Any NPC" by ImWayden - for making clones of characters when the real ones won't work

"NPC Clothes" by WILLIAM123789 - used with above mod

"Happy facial expressions for Ascended Astarion kisses" by FluffySpider

"Ring of Metamorph" by MUNMOMUU - easier way of swapping models, but more limited than script extender

Updated Dammon Build Guide!

Sad because you need more Dammon? Here is an updated guide on how to make him into your player character or dream guardian.

First, let's discuss the mods you'll need if you want to get your player character as close as possible to Dammon's long-lost twin or evil clone. Are you on a console or don't want to mod? No worries, alternative suggestions will be provided in this guide too.

Clothing:

This is only needed if you wish for him to wear the same outfit and for it to be the right color. If you want to keep the number of mods on the low side, you can use Basket Full of Equipment instead. It does have a blacksmith outfit, scarf and his boots too. (The boots are called: Black Leather Footwear D, just dye them brown. The scarf dye Swamp Green.)

Just know as of posting this, there is no dye in the game to match Dammon's existing choice of colors on his blacksmithing outfit perfectly. I would recommend when using Basket Full of Equipment to go with the scarf-free version and dye it Faewild Green and Dun Dye. Then you'll find his scarf in the cloak bag and dye that Swamp Green. If you can't get your hands on that rare dye Swamp Green works great too.

Eyes (and a jump start with the dream guardian):

What do I mean by jumpstart? Well... the modder here made a great start of what Dammon looks like. But I suspect the way the mod and/or game functions, some of Dammon's coloring is a little off. His horns are nearly white, and his eyes are brown, that is if you're trying to make the dream guardian look like him. This might be corrected in the future.

What's important about this mod is that it unlocks Dammon's unique eye color for not only the Guardian but also the Player Character. It's the only one I've found so far that does this. If there are other mods that come along that just unlock his eyes, I'll be happy to include them here too.

Don't want to install mods or can't? Try the Blue 3 or Sapphire 4 eyes. Or if you want them to glow more then have central heterochromia Elf Blue 1 and 2 are nice options as well.

Fun fact: Dammon's eyes are blue with central heterochromia.

Oh, and there is also the option to go with his Early-Access eye color Elf-Gold 3 if you're feeling particularly nostalgic.

The Quick and Easy Way: Use: Transform into companions and NPCs - Ring of Metamorph (Last I checked Born to be Anyone is not compatible with Patch 7 still ;_;)

Want to make the player character and every companion in your party look like Dammon? Well, this is the mod for you. There is however a caveat. He's stuck in that blacksmith outfit. As in not even for love scenes will he get naked. Alas, the real Dammon model doesn't have a nude character model option-at least not yet. Any who...

Onwards to the rest of character creation!

But first, a few quick side-by-side final comparisons to confirm the appearance you should get when following this guide.

Head, Skintone, and Horn Color:

Head 4

Blush Tone 5

Malbolge Spires with Dusty 6 for both base and tip color.

Hair:

Style - Arabel Ribbon Hair Color - Blonde 3 Highlight - Red 6 Intensity 80.

Makeup (optional):

Eye Makeup - Butterscotch (Intensity 40, Metallic Tint 10, and Glossy 10) Limp Tint - Red 1 (Intensity 10, Metallic Tint 10, and Glossy 10) For makeup, I'm unsure if Dammon wears any but in all the images here I did add a subtle amount to try to make his eyes stand out a little. This might be helpful if you're stuck using Blue 3 or Sapphire 4. I thought to also add a tiny bit of gloss to his lips since he's not hanging out by his forge so much. This is just a personal preference.

In fact, Makeup 12 comes in handy for guys or gals in general at a 10 to 50 tint level to make their eyes look a little deeper set, tired even and um... more broody? Play around with this and other make-ups and have fun.

Scar (optional):

Dammon does have a scar over the bridge of his nose, under his right eye, and on his lower left lip. But on him, as seen below, it's faded. Scar 3 comes sorta close but it's rather distracting. Until we can get a scar depth or age slidder from Larian (or a mod) I would skip it entirely for now.

Class, Race, Voice, and Stats (optional):

According to the Wiki Dammon is an Asmodeus Tiefling but you could subrace him into Mephistopheles or Zariel as head 4 is available to all subraces. Changing his subrace might prove advantageous depending upon what class you wish to play.

For voice, nothing can replace Frazer Blaxland's, but... I found Voice 3, out of all of them, is similar in depth and warmth.

If playing as Dammon and you want to get as close to his abilities, and fighting style as possible, it's all an educated guess. This is only mine on one class example: Druid.

To start, I made sure that all his stats were at least 10 in everything just like his original. For the extra points left over, I put them into upping his Dexterity as it helps with dodging damage. After all, you don't need a lot of hp if you can dodge damage. I also put a few extra points into the main stat for his class and a bit in Charisma just to make conversation rolls easier. For background, I went with Guild Artisan to further help him with persuasion, give him some insight, and for roleplaying purposes since he was a blacksmith. For cantrips, I would highly recommend picking Guidance if available to further aid all conversation rolls.

I went with Druid because it lets him wield a scimitar right at the start. On the Nautolid you can usually find two of these weapons. "Who uses wooden tools!" Dammon shouts as he throws that ugly staff overboard into the fires of Avernus. The second reason is perhaps while he was in the grove he learned a thing or two. He did after all pick up a few skills while in Avernus, why not at the Druid Grove too? It's just one level and you could multi-class him into anything later on.

The third reason I went with Druid for class is your doppelganger gets a discount from Arron, the other merchant to be found there.

But of course, you can make him any other class you wish or multi-class him. I did so myself by adding dragon sorcerer and bard to him later on. This is just an idea, but one could use his playthrough to try and get the Jack-of-all-Trades achievement.

If I had to go with an official class for him, my money would be on Artificer with a subclass of a Battle Smith, to be precise. The video down below explains what they are, and as early as Act II Dammon can literally craft us some bombs and free armor if you bring him the right things. He would be the perfect Artificer companion if we in the future get that class in a DLC. (And romance option-yes while keeping most of his mystery too, Frazer. This will explain just one example of how it's possible.)

Sadly, no official Artificer class yet but there are a few mods you can try out by just searching the term Artificer on the Nexus. But this mod looks so far the most polished and fleshed out called:

Hope all this info helps you have some fun. Please feel free to tag and share with me your Dammon creations! Need any help feel free to reach out, I'd be happy to help. Looking for my old guide? It's here.

*Full Disclosure: In the previous versions of my guide, I was mistaken about his skin tone being Blush 4. After a near-unhealthy amount of scrutiny of Dammon's model, I apologize for this mistake. It's Blush 5, and the majority of the screenshots, ones that focus on his appearance, have been corrected accordingly. I apologize for this mistake and any inconvenience it has caused.

[red-dead-sakharine]

what mod are you using for your raphael gifs? they're delicious

Thank you! ☺️ Glad you're enjoying them.

I got a post about the head incl. sliders and eyes.

For the scene edits: Appearance Edit Enhanced, Ring of Metamorph, and Raphael outfits.
