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.
Good deal. I've update the main package with the fix.

Yep, the new file seems to have fixed the problem :).

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.

Thanks for this useful collection and I have been using this for creating new NPCs for my campaign. _________________________ Gaming Parents Studios - Currently working on A Time to Die Act I and Into the Forgotten Realms Vault Submissions: Movie Trailer of A Time to Die | Unicorn Run Prefab **NEW**

@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...

hehe ^^ and now finaly the vote -.- i am sorry i forgot it twice (^_-)
Posted by Registerdebakel at on11/12/07
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.
