Will mods save this game?

I don't recall how long it took for DAI mods to take off, but they probably should have a head start since it's the same engine? I hope.

I agree that Aveline looks just fine in her un-modded look.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

anything is possible with mods my friends. We can even crank up the settings even more... but we can't change the writing and voice acting.

I don't think mods are needed to save anything. Enhance it, maybe. But it doesn't need rescuing in my opinion.

I liked Aveline. It suited her story and background. She wasn't meant to be beautiful. Yay for diverse looks in games.

Aveline's appearance suited her character perfectly. She was sort of a DA version of Brienne of Tarth, not a beauty queen. Isabela even pokes fun at her appearance (calling her masculine), so she's supposed to be someone a little on the homely side.

People can mod whatever they like of course, but the modded appearance doesn't fit how the character was written. 

TBH the title was made to be a bit click-baity, it's just sort of a modern thing on the internet to do these days, I think. Title like this gets a lot more views than something like "can we expected mods like NPC overhauls anytime soon?" I agree with you but I really wanted to hear more thoughts on the subject.

Just because you dislike the facial animations and think they are a problem that ruins the entire game and it needs to be saved from it, doesn't mean everyone feels that way. Frankly if my problem with the game is wonky animations I much rather have that problem then other issues such as the ones we saw in Mass Effect 3 or Dragon Age: Inquisition.

My OP wasn't about animations at all, but how characters looked.

True, yet I'm still holding my thumbs down for that overhaul, tough.

So this anon guy....

Can he really fix the game in just 15mins?

As far as textures go, yes, that will be doable. The problem is besides the eyes and solidity of hair colors there's nothing wrong with the textures. Sure we will have retexes that will be more flavor than a general fix for complaints. It's kind of depressing for me because while I like realistic and immersive options sometimes I just want to be sexy even if it doesn't make sense. So OP don't expect anything better than the DAI mod scene currently is. I just wish some genius out there would be able to mod in a CC like black desert online's is that too much to ask for?
