#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.

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

[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

[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.

[drusotherstuff]

BG3 Act 3 Spoiler. I only went this route once, because I wanted to use the Ring of Metamorph mod. Just to see what it would look like if Dammon got mad for pickpocketing in the other Acts. 🤭 (forgive me Astarion)

[the-tomato-patch]

Am I terribly downbad for dubious red men? Yes. Am I coping and dedicating an entire playthrough to a "Raphael romance" and using the modded ring of metamorph? Also yes.
