Tutorial - Black Hair is Actually Black (DA:I - Works with ALL Patch Versions)

So ya know how when you make an inquisitor with black hair, you end up with this weirdish blue

brown

seriously, wtf is going on

why?

Well: here’s your solution!

Instructions under the cut

Step 1:

Download Savefiletools - specifically DAS editor.

*You can also retrieve it at  DAI CLI Save Editor on DA Nexus (uploaded by ricco19 on the Nexus)* - Thanks to daimodders for pointing this out

Unzip the files and stick it somewhere. I would recommend a folder separate from your Inquisition saves

Step 2:

Now, find the save you want to edit (I would suggest the most recent save to see your changes right away.

*Copy and paste your old savefile somewhere else (i.e. your desktop) in case you mess up*

Then drag to .das editor to open the program

This screen will pop up:

And all that helpful info at the top basically lets you know which save you loaded

Step 3:

You should hit option 3: Manual Edit Values

And it gives you a bunch of options - you can just hit “enter” to leave your options unchanged.....

or enter a new value to change it

But we want to do hair specifically:

Step 4: 

So just hit enter until you get to these options

eyebrow color red:

eyebrow color green: 

eyebrow color blue:

eyelash color red:

eyelash color green: 

eyelash color blue: 

hair color red:

hair color green:

hair color blue:

scalp hair color  red:

scalp hair color green:

scalp hair color blue: 

facial hair color  red:

facial hair color green:

facial hair color blue: 

If you want everything to be black (facial hair, eyebrows, lashes, etc) change all of these values to zero:

to zero

*IMPORTANT*

LEAVE HAIR SPEC1 and HAIR SPEC 2 ALONE as unchanged (which will pop up in between hair color and scalp hair color)

otherwise it’ll look like your hair is a black hole containing the void.

Step 5:

Now, after you are done editing everything, you’ll get this message:

So go back to your save files and you should see a new file there:

Move it somewhere else, i.e. your desktop.

Step 6:

Right click on it and select “Rename”:

Step 7:

Delete the .NEW to change the file type to just .DAS

Step 8:

Click “yes” when you get this dialogue box:

Step 9: 

 Move it back to your saves folder 

and select “move and replace”

When you load your edited save, you get:

ACTUALLY BLACK HAIR!

THAT DOESN’T CHANGE AS MUCH!

YAY!!!!!!

And, of course, you don’t have to restrict to black hair, black eyebrows:

But that’s a tutorial for later.
