Alright, first thing is first. Most people are saying they think their character's faces are hideous and wants to change them, but aren't sure how. Here's how my girlfriend found our how to do it.
EDITING YOUR CHARACTER'S HEAD/FACE IN THE TOOLSET
You Need to make sure that you have played long enough to save your game and that you have picked everything you want the character to have/be (class, race, gender, voice, etc.).
1. Open your toolset
2. Go to File ->New->Morph
3. Choose a base to work with (It must be that of the Gender and Race you picked, althought this is not for certain as I have not messed around with putting a feamle dwafs head on a human male or whatever. feel free to try at your own risk) Hm = Human Male, HF = Human Female etc etc
4. At this point, messing with the head is up to how you want it to look. You can add facial hair to females and makeup to males.
Something that took use forever to figure out is how to change the angle of the head.
As marked in red on the image above, you will see that the Object Orientation is set to 0,0,0
So this is how it works:
Front View of face (default) = 0,0,0
Right Side view of face = 75,0,0
Back of Head view = 180,0,0
Left Side view of Face = 280,0,0
ALSO, if you don't feel like typing in numbers, holding down CTRL + the right click button (on your mouse) and moving forward/backwards will zoom in and out. Moving it left to right will turn the camera around the head. CTRL + the left click button seems to give your free movement around the entire plane.
5. Once you're finished Save it. However, try not to name it something generic. Once it has been saved, right click on the face and select "Post To Local".
6. Remember how I told you to play through the game first to save it when you first got the chance to? Well, now we're going into the save information of that file and putting your face you made in the toolset on the character. Close the face you had been working on. I AM DOING THIS FOR MY CHARACTER FLAEMARU SO ANYWHERE YOU SEE HER NAME, JUST SUBTITUTE IT WITH THE NAME OF THE CHARACTER WHOSE FACE YOU'RE CHANGING. Then, go to File->Open File->owner->documents->bioware->dragonage->characters->Flaemaru->Saves(Since I know how to do this I only has one save for her, but pick the save you want to change)->Slot_1->Flaemaru.das
7. Now this part can be a bit confusing or overwhelming if you're not sure what you're doing. But don't fret, I'll walk you though it.
At this point your screen should look like this:
Now, go to SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR->SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR->SAVEGAME_APPEARANCE->SAVEGAME_APPEARANCE_MORPH_NAME
Confused? That okay.
Maybe this will help: WARNING LARGE IMAGE
What is circled in red is what you need to click on to Navigate to where you need to go. The thing circled in light blue is area you need to type in to change the face. IT MUST HAVE THE PROPER PREFIX OF RACE/GENDER AND MUST CONTAIN THE UNDERSCORE
hm_ = human male
hf_ = human female
em_ = elf male
ef_ = elf female
dm_ = dwarf male
df_= dwarf female
Flaemaru is an elf female thus in the blue circled area I type ef_Flaemaru
So if your character's name is Joe and Joe is a Human male and you saved his face that you morphed as 'Joe' then you would type hm_Joe instead.
8. Now beofre you get all excited, at this point and after, people start to have problems and errors. Like, starting a New Game. When I had first done this I could not start a new game. It kept giving me the "Unable to Load Module" error whenever I tried. When I loaded a saved game, I could not level up, the AI was messed up as none (even
the main character) would not fight enemies. Fear not if this happens however. After 4 hours of serching through the forums here, I found an topic with multiple solutions which can be found here:http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/8/index/134178. However, I have found that just going into owner->documents->Bioware->Dragonage->modules and
completely deleting the "Single Player" Folder always fixes my problem.
9. Go load your game of the character whose face you changed. It should be changed to whatever you made in the morph (Althought I'm told some of the 'debug' features don't work sometimes; I have not encountered this problem). Save your game again, and enjoy! If som of the images are too small or you have any questions, feel free to ask my girlfriend and I would be happy to try and help.
How Flaemaru looked before Head Morph (generic female Dalish and generic female Dalish name is she had already saved over it):
How Flaemaru looked after head morph:
SPOILER WARNING
Just so everyone knows who uses this tutorial, there is a part in the
game where you (the Main Character) enters 'The Fade'. During this part
you receive various (four) transformations to help your friends and
defeat the demons within. Changing the head morph of your character
will cause these transformations to be deformed/glitched to varying
degrees. These transformations still function however (atleast they
should), so most do not consider it a big deal. I haven't tried this,
but I'm told that during this part (if it bothers you that much), you
can just go in and delete the head morph from the character and the
Transformations will be fine afterwards. As I've said, I've not tried
it since the deformation didn't bother me, but it makes sense.
ALSO
I would just like to point out this Blog (found here:http://social.bioware.com/11689/blog/707/)(Thank you TeenZombie) to those who happen to experience an "Out of Memory" Error with the toolset.
I have never experienced this problem myself, so I don't know if this blog is helpful per se, but reading the comments at the bottom leads me to believe that it is. Sooo....yeah....enjoy!
