NWN2 includes a large number of NPC heads, which aren�t ordinarily usable by PCs. This override package makes those heads selectable during character creation. All of the models and designs are Obsidian�s; I just used RunnerDuck�s MDB cloner to make them playable. I tried to select model numbers that don�t conflict with any existing custom heads here on the vault, but it seems the character selection screen only recognizes a limited number of heads, so some conflicts may crop up.
This pack adds: 2 male dwarf heads, 1 female drow head, 3 female elf heads, 2 male elf heads, 2 female half-elf heads, 1 male gnome head, 12 human female heads, and 28 human male heads. Some notes on using these heads:
1. Most of them don�t have tintable skin. If you are playing with any kind of nude or semi-nude hak, you�ll want to select a skin color that gives a good match between the skin and the head. I�ve indicated below which are tintable, but it should be pretty obvious in character creation.
2. Many of them have hair built in, so you�ll want to select the bald hairstyle for these. A few of the heads that are bald by design seem to work with some or all of the Obsidian hairstyles. The last few human female heads are bald by design and have bad clipping problems with all of Obsidian�s hairstyles, but a couple of Whatbrick�s custom hairstyles seem to work nicely with them. You can find those hairstyles here: Link
3. I haven�t tested extensively, but I�m pretty sure most of the heads will have some clipping issues when your character is wearing a helmet.
Question: this seems the most awesome thing i've ever seen but where the heck do i put it?? _________________________ War is Conquest.And because of that Conquest anger,hatred, and sadness form. Therefore more war's form as a side effect of those emotion's and as the Conquest grows more emotion's form therefore causing more Emotion's to Rise and create More DESTRUCTION and thus causing the end of an empire and the rise and fall of the new ones right after each other. May we find peace.

Many of them are limited in usefulness but nevertheless, this pack adds tremendous variety to player character creation choices. _________________________ Co-founder of the PW (open beta) Sea of Dragons.

I must admit that this is remarkably done piece of art. But there is one thing: I cannot find the color that would match Elanee's skin color. I tried every available color, but there is no color that could match it. Can anyone help me? _________________________ Legolase Zelenlisti, u sumi

Looks great, but I can't seem to get these heads to work when in character creation. I placed the files in the override folder but that has not done anything.

Excellent work. But there seems to be a problem with the male head no. 75. The eyeballs are clipping when the character is blinking.

Thank you - really! I am so happy - you can't imagine how >:D (finally can play with Daeghun!)
10pts for you and big thumbs up!

I know it isn't your fault that Obsidian's implementation of the NPC heads forces your creation to be imperfect, so I apologize in advance having to vote no higher than an 8.75 ("Excellent, Recommended to Anyone") per the Voting Standards (shame on players voting over 9!).
I love anything that lets PCs be more customizable, so it really is a shame that Obsidian failed to make this more accessible to content developers. Any sort of plug-in system would have been very welcome, I think. I mean the POINT of an RPG is customization, right?
Anyhow, solid work, Chimneyfish. It's just not "Genuinely Groundbreaking" and Obsidian's poor implementation makes this one not "a Must Have". But it's damn close, so I had to vote 8.75. I'll be using it for certain.
darthsabe: unfortunately, I tested it out and Torio's head doesn't fit real well on most of the PC bodies.

I would love to see a Torio Claven head as PC head!

This is great, so much better than the original NWN2 heads. Something should really be done about them. Thanks for such an awesome contribution!

Anyone having experience how these work in PW ?
If only player has it, only player sees the heads ?
other players see headless char ? _________________________ Qrizz

I really like this - I love having custom content to increase the choices I have when creating a character, especially as so many oft he official heads are so ugly! I always ended up using the same one each time.
Does anyone know if there are any good "idiots guide" type tutorials for newbies to design new heads / hair as I would like to make my own as well? _________________________ If the human brain was so simple we could understand it, we'd be so simple we couldn't

ladyelvenstar: thanks for the vote, but you don't actually need this package to use these heads for NPCs. Just give them the N_Human (or N_Elf or whatever) appearance and these heads are among the selections that Obsidian already provides. Might save the people who play your campaign a little downloading.

@Balgin Stondraeg: Hmmm, I just tested it and am not getting the same result as in your screenshot. However, I will post a new version of the Head 85 model that might fix it for you. Try downloading that and let me know if it fixes your problem. If it does, I'll update the main download with the new version. If not, we'll have to try something else...

I think a "9" is very fair vote even i did not test it. This kind of submissions canot be "more or less bad/average/great" - theyre simply not useful OR very apealing. And this one seems to be the 2nd.
By the way: alsmost 750 DLs and noone is voting. I am going to change that ;) -> 9 points

I did not try this mod - anyway: Untintable parts is not your concern - Obsidian should make that NPC heads tintable as well. However i think they are not going to do that (although this would be very little work to do). Regarding the lack of varity of the headmodels in the "official" character creation this is a very welcome addition.
10 - A Masterpiece, Genuinely Groundbreaking 9 - Outstanding, a Must Have 8 - Excellent, Recommended to Anyone 7 - Very Good, Deserves a Look 6 - Good, Qualified Recommendation 5 - Fair, Solid yet Unremarkable 4 - Some Merit, Requires Improvements 3 - Poor Execution, Potential Unrealized 2 - Very Little Appeal 1 - Not Recommended to Anyone
