Request Xarga helmetless as Steve McQueen

[ColbyJames43 8]

Hi again I have also a wonderful idea for character Xarga from KOTOR TSL which I have wanted to talk about for a while. 

I have a proposal or suggestion to make him helmetless and appear with a face my suggestion for Xarga to have a face he will look a lot like Steve McQueen a classic actor if all of you remember this actor from classic films he was in The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, Nevada Smith, The Sand Pebbles, Papillon, and The Towering Inferno, but he would have been good for films like A Bridge Too Far, Apocalypse Now, and William Friedkin's movie Sorcerer, also he probably been a cool actor for missed roles he did. 

Why do I consider Xarga be based on Steve McQueen, well here's my theroy about it. 

I think Steve McQueen would have been perfect for Star Wars because despite his American Background I think he probably been cool for Star Wars if he had still been alive and not died in 1980, because Xarga looks to be the best candidate for a Steve McQueen actor notably you can tell if his face looks Mandalorian by my standards, well that's my theroy because I always liked Steve McQueen and that I think he could have been good for Star Wars if it ever did occur well if any books or games or comics did replicate Steve McQueen for Star Wars stories I'd think that be perfect idea to begin with, so I think Xarga looks perfect for a Steve McQueen character to request Xarga without a helmet to look like Steve himself, and yes I love Steve McQueen cuz he is one of many of my favourite actors. 

They're will also be a mod for Xarga without the helmet but will have Steve's head but as I am posting this I felt like I needed to in request mods for this very reason because I'd like to leave it in the suggestion box if anyone loves this character or is a fan of him, It's a good brillent idea I think and I felt like I'd want to post this because I want all to think well is it necessary for Steve to be Xarga. the question is yes. 

Maybe we could have him if a cut scene is created of him where Mandalore the Preserver or Canderous Ordo tells him to take good care of Meetra Surik's companions to lead them to the Tomb of Freedon Nadd, or they're be a secondary if needed throughout the game to reveal his head to the game audience. 

If you have any concerns or regards about it please leave a comment in the section below tell me what you think. 

Regards 

Colby. 🙂

I know someone has made that Mandalorian NPC model helmet-less meaning a yellow Xarga looking NPC with an NPC head is doable, however, you can't unfilter a voice meaning Xarga's voice will still be filtered as if he was wearing a helmet. You'd need to find a mask in the game that would look good with your NPCs head whether it be a Steve McQueen looking head or another head, any mask that covers his mouth would work fine so anything like a Breath Mask or a Stabilizer Mask would work though something like Neural Bands that don't cover the mouth won't work.

 

The Generic NPC heads like the Batu Rem head don't have the ability to wear masks because they lack something called "Mask Hooks" which is code in the head model to allow Masks to be visible. Adding the required code to any head model would allow Masks to be worn.

Thanks for the details and hopefully that is taken into considerdation.

Now that @N-DReW25 has explained it to you, why would you still want this request considered? If all of their hard work creating a new head will be going to waste -  as the character won't be seen due to him wearing a mask - what's in it for them?

Your quite right I agree with what you said it is a waste.

I agree yes @N-DReW25 you are correct about the mask voice thing the problem is it would sound exactly the same but I do have a question is they're no other way like maybe re-voice the entire lines again something that sounds similar to Steve McQueen or somebody else in this community that might have a sound alike towards a Mandalorian Neo-Crusader without a helmet mask on I mean to do that you need to make sure it doesn't sound like it has a mask on don't get me wrong I am proving a point.

I can understand it would be tricky but then the problem if we want it to sound like our Steve head then my suggestion is other possibility is re-voice it but get somebody who sounds like Steve McQueen or Xarga in paticular without a helmet.

Yes It is a wonderful idea and I love it but I do understand not everything will be granted your correct N-DReW25 otherwise a mask for Steve would still need to be sounded.

Best Regards

Port the "unused" Zherron head from the Dantooine Moisture Evaporator quest in TSL. Reskin it a little, and you have a decent Steve McQueen.
