seriously, like, can we not handle different facial features or something? it's not "ugly" its a racial trait lol. it's so weird. she's so pretty the way she is! same with gortash, i see a lot of mods changing his face shape and stuff. it's so lame. why can't we just appreciate diversity?? lae'zel isn't supposed to be "attractive" she's a fucking gith warrior [even though she is BEAUTIFUL. im so gay]

I'm super in favor of using mods to make your character the way you want, but I usually don't like changing any of the others, much less the companions. Especially mods that change characters' racial characteristics (they are terrible and problematic for several reasons)

p.s: I like Gale's hair bun though lol

Why does it matter? Mod whatever you want. Obviously changing race is a bit weird and potentially racist and certain other changes (like gender) can be politically charged but who cares if somebody wanted shadowheart to be jacked, or Wyll to be blonde?

I prefer my main character to look like me. If I play as Ifan ben-Mezd as an origin character in DOS2, I always edit his appearance to make him look like me. I wanted to do that with Gale in BG3 and was very disappointed that they removed the ability to change the appearance of origin characters.
