ebmar 893 Posted February 16, 2019 View File [K1] Rakghoul Fiend This mod overhauls the appearance and attributes of Rakghoul Fiend; an alpha ghoul found in the Undercity and the Lower Sewers which seem was intended to have an unique demeanor with them. # Background # When facing the Rakghouls in the Undercity and the Lower Sewers, I noticed that few of the raks named as Rakghoul Fiend but I saw nothing unique about them. Well, thought that they need an unique demeanor with them; hence the fruits of labor then. # About this Mod # This modification makes unique appearance for the Rakghoul Fiends [complete with their own unique sound-sets] found in the Undercity and the Lower Sewers, and also bump their attributes by an reasonable imbalance amount. Well, I didn't include a vanilla patch - guess you'll have to deal with them, luls. One aspects of uniqueness from them is they had their body upscaled for ~+20% with different looks compared to the generic ones. Few elements of this v1.0 skin; like the red eye - was inspired from Trex's "The Jedi Masters" Rakghoul, nuff-said - credits to Trex for make it happened. # Final Remarks # There's always room for improvements - critiques, comments, suggestions, questions and feedbacks for the next update are much appreciated - PM, write them on my feed or leave any on the mod's page as you please.

Uninstallation: replace the installed files with what was stored inside the generated 'Backup' folder.

Compatibility: will be compatible with mostly anything - only make sure to install this mod after every mods has. Though haven't being tested with Kainzorus Prime's "[KotOR] NPC Overhaul Mod" and N-DReW25's "K1 Gameplay Improvement" installed, presumably they'll be compatible.

I was skeptical about the color choosing and perhaps thinking about bolder palettes; such as lime green or bright red but glad that someone board the same ship on its final. 15 minutes ago, Salk said: Keep up the excellent work, my friend!

ebmar 893 Posted June 2, 2019 [Updated to v1.0.0: June 02, 2019] What's new? New texture which I envisioned now version fits better as an alphaghoul Tweak to the model which removing the antennas/danglymesh Hair for variety. And for bit of fan-fic element which was the effect of mutation to next-phase ghoul Fix the bumpmap/tangentspace flag on the model, so it actually is working now Complete [necessary] set of unique Sound-Sets Restore the Rakghoul Fiend's Creature Item which grants them +2 active Regeneration - Ooops Bump their attributes a little bit more - Ooops 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
