This pack contains three new female hairstyles for humans, aasimar, half-elves, elves and gnomes.
To install download the Override version, unzip and move to your Override folder. Modders can use a .hak version, but I've never used .haks myself, so if any problems arise -- just report.
Note that textures and tintmaps are not the same as original hair, so it may not look nice with
default color options. Also, the original hair rig was never meant to be used for long hair,
so the long ponytail feels somewhat rigid.
Hairstyles currently use indices from 50 to 52. I am not aware of any conflicts
with existing hair, but this may change in the future. This pack does not contain
any .2da files, so it should not conflict with any non-hair related mods.
Thanks go out to Obsidian (for obvious reasons) and whatbrick, whose package I carefully
dissected when trying to decide what goes where (no whatbrick's hair were harmed in the process)
Just like to say that I downloaded this, and can't even play the game without using these hairs anymore. Thank you so much!

It's better on pictures than in the game. But still very good and sympathetic.

Very nice stuff. This beats the OC hair hands down. Really groundbreaking, which is reflected in my vote. Do some more. You have real talent.

You have no idea how grateful I am for this, sir! (or ma'am?) I absolutely loathe most of the female hairstyles from the OC, and I've been looking for a pack like this for a very long time now. It is fantastic to finally see a few more aesthetic hairstyles in NWN2, and we have you to thank for it. Thank you so much!

Would be great if these could be made to fit a halfling as well. Any chance of that?

To Caillte: The main color IS used to alter the overall tint (somewhat :)). I know that highlights having a greater effect then the "main color" is counterintuitive... but I really can't help it. I draw my texture first, and extract tintmaps from color channels later, and this setup just does not lend itself easily to separate root/tip colors.

Just a quick comment after experimenting with these hairstyles a bit more. It seems you have made it so that the hair highlights are what tints the main colour of the hair, while this still lets us get some great looking hair, the fact the main hair colour is not being used does somewhat limit the options with the hair. Still I look forward to seeing more.

These are really lovely - probably the best custom hairstyles to date. They look even better in-game than in the screenshots. :)
