What's up with Imoen's appearance?

    She doesn't look like a thief or a mage. She doesn't wear robes or a hood. I don't understand this. Is she supposed to stand out from the crowd with a unique identity? I mean, Nalia is thief/mage and she is dressed like a mage.

    PS. What's better? A saving throw of 12 or a saving throw of 4?

    Imoen uses Female Thief Human looks. She will look like a thief if you give her a leather armor. Try it.
    Saving throw 4 is better than 12.

    Okay, thanks. I did notice the thief look when she wore armour. The makers must have decided to give her that body and give Nalia the mage body.

    Nalia and Imoen both look the same, don't they?

    No. Nalia looks like a mage, whereas Imoen looks like a thief (if you give her leather armor, that is). They use different avatars.

    I usually change her outlook to a one of mages -it just looks odd when she is wearing a robe and she still has her old clothes on. ;)

    Wirhe, how do you make her look like a mage? With an editor of some sorts? Or with a cheat?

    Download ShadowKeeper -you know where, now that you are here- and select the "Appearance" -tab. Just do all the mods you want right after you get her, as the new save-file might not work otherwise (had changed skin colour too, again in later parts, and for some reason kept crashing because of it).

    I plugged in the Nalia thread, but I'll do so here as well--the G3 Tweak Pack contains a component to change Imoen to use a mage avatar, rather than a thief one. It's slightly better in that it also changes any occurrence of Imoen (including cutscenes) as well as only needing to be installed once. It also comes with all sorts of other nifty components, all separate and optional.

    Wow, I never knew ShadowKeep could do that. Um, some of the appearance say "human fighter male" and others say "human fighter male low". What's up with the low?

    Don't use "low" for a player avatar.

    Um...why not? I've used the low version for my avatar, as I didn't know the difference, and had no problem whatsoever...

    Again...why?
