heyas asedy :)

K, for this you're going to need to dragonage toolset.

You will have to located the character file for the npc's head that you want to use. This can be difficult in the case of guards, since many of them are named very generically.

But inside the npc's .utc file, will contain the information for which head morph is used by them.

 

Once you've located the name for the mor file that they use, you can go into your install directory for the dragon age GAME.

should be something like C:/ program files/dragon age/

then in packages/core located the file named face.erf

open face.erf in the toolset.

 

Locate the file that you are looking for, and right click on it, and choose extract without dependent resources.

I recommend extracting it to your desktop.

 

Then rename the file for the filename of the character that you're wanting to use it for. For instance, if it's allistair it would be hm_genfl_alistair.mor

 

Now, if you're wanting to use it for the PC, you'll need to use something like the face replacer for that. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=428.

 

Now, if you're talking about the morphs from awakening, that will be much more difficult. You'll have to located the designercreatures.erf file located in your documents/bioware/dragonage/addins folder for the DAA files. And then open that up in the toolset to find the character files for the character that you're lookin for.

 

Hope that this helps :)

No problem! :) Tho I DID forget to mention that once you've renamed the file, to drop it into your override folder.

documents/bioware/dragon age/packages/core/override. sorry about that!

Good luck, and enjoy :)
