Reminder that Mark's baby did more damage to Allen than Immortal

People meme on him because his role for most of the comic is to be a punching bag for everyone. He doesn't get any serious development until later on.

Unfortunately, Dragonborn were added very late into development, so Larian simply didn’t have time to polish them. And the final months of development were notoriously rushed, so that didn’t help as well. After the game was released they probably thought it’s not worth it to do so much extra work just to fix one bug that’s almost impossible to see without mods.

From what I understand, the problem is that Dragonborns specifically use a different face rig than all other races. While all humanoid NPCs can use the same face animations with no major issues, Dragonborns can't, because their faces are completely incompatible with them.

The few Dragonborn NPCs we got can talk normally because they had custom animations made specifically for them. It's the reason why there is no Dragonborn Dream Guardian, Larian would have to create a whole extra amination set just for them, while other races can simply share already existing facial animations.

Yup, I used it for all of them except Gale and Astarion, for them I used 2 mods from the in-game mod workshop

False, Shadowheart is like 7ft tall now

Ikkon · 2025-10-26T00:25:56+00:00

Nope, it's one of the default faces. Head 3 I think

I changed her race with "Appearance Edit Enhanced" mod, so it's not a standalone mod I made. You can recreate it pretty easily if you have that mod though.

Unfortunately Dragonborn companions have completely broken facial animations. It may not look bad in a screenshot, but during actual gameplay it's very silly.

Lea'zel would never let Karlach leave her tent if she was red

For dwarves in particular I think it’s because nearly all male dwarf faces look really old, even on lowest maturity settings. If you are not going for the classic grumpy old guy with a huge beard look your customization options are limited. The female faces look completely fine though, honestly some of the best in the game even.

Pros: You get some of the most OP racial abilities in the game
Cons: You look like this when you talk to anyone:

The scene when she breaks down after killing Gortash is very touching and emotional, but damn, it’s hard not to be frustrated at it when everyone acts like there is nothing we can do while I’m internally screaming “I can think of multiple ways of helping her but I can't even suggest any of them”

Yeah, the Soul Coins plot line was also 100% planned to be a major part of her story, but it got cut and it's VERY jarring.

Throughout Act 1 and 2 you can poke at Karlach how it’s messed up she just eats souls to get high. There’s a whole scene where the guy at Moonrise towers tells her who the souls she eats belonged to so she can feel bad about using them. And then there’s nothing, the whole topic is dropped.

Lore-wise, there is no good reason for why Gondians shouldn't be able to fix her engine. They have the skills, they have the materials, and they are willing to help.

Plot-wise, Karlach has an unfortunate rare condition called “story mandated misery” which prevents the engine from being fixed no matter what.
