Henceforth in all the bronze of brightness shine,
The least a vestal of the virgin Nine.
Far be from thee and thine the name of prude:
Mock’d, yet triumphant; sneer’d at, unsubdued;
Thy legs must move to conquer as they fly,
If but thy coats are reasonably high;
Thy breast—if bare enough—requires no shield;
Dance forth—sans armour thou shalt take the field,
And own—impregnable to most assaults,
Thy not too lawfully begotten “Waltz.”— George Gordon, Lord Byron
This is a part of a mini-series that consists of my own personalised edits to companions or related NPCS.

What does this mod do
1. Terpsichore — Hair
Gives Wyll a
recreatedversion of Angrboda's Hair from GOWR, it is modified according to Wyll's face specifically, the game's handling of hairs and Wyll's horns.
There is physics in the lower portion of the hair (There is no way to give frontal strands the same treatment) the hair is refit to adapt to most armours but expect casual clipping as with any longer vanilla hair.
Options include accessories recolours and no accessories.
Use with Terpsichore - Wyll Portraits for the portrait to update post-transformation wise + Includes a Wyll's Devil Form (as it doesn't update due to a vanilla bug).
2. Terpsichore — Textures
Gives Wyll extra scars:
- Stylized top surgery scars.
- Subtle healed burn scar on the shoulder that extends to his upper bicep.
- More prominent scars on his back.
- Various scars scattered around including the knees, back...etc.
The leg textures are mirrored so I was limited in the scars, the area around the burn has reduced hair.
Trips' Old Shader Pack / Companions - Old Shaders are a requirement for these textures to show.
Option for Top Scars only + Aetherpoint's mod contains a VT version.
3. Terpsichore — Clothes
Armour:Replaces Wyll's starting gear with a recoloured version of his Blade of Frontiers epilogue armour, shows up in a new playthrough only.
Camp Clothes: Makes Wyll's camp clothes crop top shorter. Why? Why not?
4. Terpsichore — RavengardEdits Ulder Ravengard's appearance to resemble more of his canon artwork and ever so slightly have similar features to Wyll.
Compatibility
Loose Files:
This mod should be compatible with any mod that does not edit the following:
Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Wyll_Body_CLEA.DDS
Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Wyll_Body_HMVY.DDS

.PAK Files:
The hair mod will not be naturally compatible with other .pak mods that edit Wyll's CharacterVisuals.
Thanks to Padme4000's Unique Companion Assets however, the UCA .pak version is compatible with any mod that uses the same framework like Transgender Wyll.
For Wyll's Devil Form, I have provided a patch with permission, load it after both mods + Hair has been refit for the ears to not clip.
Armour:The armour mod will be incompatible with any mod that changes Wyll's starting gear.
Ravengard:The Ravengard mod will be incompatible with any mod that modifies Ulder's textures or CharacterVisuals, as far as I'm concerned tho there is no other mod that does this.
Notes
// This is a personalised mod, meaning that any requested modifications will be done at my own pace //
- To install the Loose Files: simply drop the Generated Folder in your \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data
- To install the .PAK files: Download the .rar and import the mod from Mod Manager, and then slide the mod to the active section.
- If any of the mods do not work, it is either due to incompatibility or being overridden, to lessen the chances to encounter issues, install Patches for CC Mods.
- This is my very first hair mod so it can be rough around the edges.
- There is no way to minimize any further hair clipping and I'm content with it as it is personally, the stretching is also unavoidable when it comes to the accessories.
- The hair is very high in polygons counts, so it may operate differently on other PCs.
- The camp clothes edit will affect Masc Humanoid frames as well.
Future plans
- Give all races the stylized top surgery scars, including fem and masc frames.
- Improve on the hair in the far far future and after that, make the hair available for Tavs (There is no ETA as autosnapping works horridly for this hair which means manual sculpting for every race)
- Give Wyllmancers a special amulet.
- Try to give Wyll's horns accessories.
- Funny enough Ulder Ravengard has an unused MS head, might play around to see if I can turn him into a giant.
