Changing Characters Whole Appearance in Game?

Froto · 09-21-2002, 11:31 PM

Hi all! Im Froto new to this forum. I've been playing Baldurs Gate 2 for a few months now. I have a question I hope someone can help. Is there a way to change the appearance of your team characters in the game? I know about portraits already. I think what Im talking about are called skins..is that it? Is there a way I can do that? And if so where would I find them to download. Any advise or help is greatly appreciated..

Hello Froto, welcome to the forum. [img]smile.gif[/img]

To do what you want to do, you must get ShadowKeeper. Once you've downloaded it, open the program and the game with the characters you want to change, and then go to the 'Appearance'-section.

The only way I know of to do it is Shadowkeeper; but be warned: this is a cheat utility, and can become very addictive.

Think your half-orcs aren't green enough? You can have 'em as green as limefruits if you want.

Just beware. Some of the colours at the bottom of the list may make the game crash.

Also if you want to change the character avatar (how he/she looks on the main screen) be sure to find one with all possible character animations (attack, spellcasting, knocked unconscious etc). Otherwise they game may crash too.

Beware. Some avatars make your character move faster or slower. Be sure to alter the speed with Shadowkeeper to match your characters original speed.

Make sure to try and change your character's appearance to those of a Squirrel, Lich or Drow... We did that during a multiplayergame once, and even though the animations aren't really designed to do all the moves without any problems (the male drow for example runs, stands still, runs etc. for example), it's still good for a laugh.

Hey I have a question: Does everyone know which colours will make the game crash if you assign them to your character and why?

It seems that it's the colours from the bottom of the list that poses a problem. Maybe they are used to assign random colours or something.

None of the colours work for me. That's a big dissadvantage.
