I thought I'd share the group! I have mods, obviously. But the gangs all here :D well.. minus Halsin and Jaheira, I'll do another group picture when I get them too.

Details on the main mods and such that I used under the cut!

Astarion's design was inspired by mantiiiss's fantasy presets on nexus, that paired with The Pale Devil is awesome.

Gale's look was inspired by the look on LeminnLinsky's hair mixer on nexus. I also have the head model from A Visit with Volo and the face textures from Softer Gale. I'm also using Jax' Transgender Gale! The orb scars are so awesome.

I found Wyll's Hunky Wyll mod by chance, him in bt4 is surprisingly fitting and I like how dramatic his new devil form is (wings added with Soaring Ambition).

You can't see it but Karlach's Long Hair is also being used, she looks so good with a braid. Transgender Karlach by Jax is also being used and so is the textures from Datamined Karlach and Karlach's Glowing Horns.

For Shadowheart I got Inheritance - Werewolf Shadowheart paired with Melpomene - Shadowheart Edits, Undercut Bun Hairstyle for Shadowheart (for later), and Alternative Shadowheart Tattoos (asymetrical with chest tattoo).

I obviously have Lil'zel - Gnome Lae'zel Replacer, and I also have Lae'zel Hair Replacer!

And finally for Scratch and Nimbus, I have Scratch Recolored and Better Visuals for Shadow Hound.

After years of never seeing each other and secret letters, they finally reunite under horrible circumstances.

Raven, a now famous bard in Baldur's Gate after escaping the underdark had been abducted in the night, and Syrrith, having finally reached the surface for the first time was abducted mere moments after xey finally saw the moon.

They had been planning to meet up somewhere in the middle of Syrrith's long journey to Baldur's Gate, after a long time of secret messages. Raven promised protection and comfort in the city and Syrrith was desperate to leave the noble lolth-sworn drow xey were promised to as well as the corrupt underdark town xey were from.

After they were abducted they never thought they'd see each other again. How bittersweet it was to see each other now. They took a few hours to rest from being in the crash and the first thing Raven did was help take xeir hair out of the braids.

Raven belongs to: @bi-gaming420 Its so awesome that with the Custom Companions mod I can finally have the story play out way more canonically as they both get abducted together and travel together.

They are both visually impaired but Syrrith is less so and i already mentioned how shitty xeir eyesight is. This leads to a lot of funny moments tbh.

The fact that they danced together <3

I fixed some of my mods and we are so back

Syrrith playthrough 2 now with more lore accurate actions is a go. This includes mods that make it night majority of the time, Syrrith is incredibly light sensitive and it'd make sense that xey'd only move the group at night when xey can see better.

Xeir eyesight is still absolute shit and xey definitely need glasses BUT at least everything isnt bright glowing blobs at night.

After playing more with Syrrith and fleshing xem out more I think Halsin may be xeir canonical route. As much as I love xem and Wyll together, especially since its one of the slower romances, my friend pointed out something and it explains why the Wyll romance fells kinda off. It might be too fast for xem.

Xey came from a place of a lot of trauma with close relationships and this is xeir first time truely away from those who hurt xem (at least until xey reach the underdark again and start getting a bit paranoid even though xey are far from them).

Being in the overworld would give xem the space to process and coming out of the shadow curse after healing it i feel would tie in symbolically with xem beginning to finally heal. And being close to Baldurs Gate would finally let xem relax.

Having a romance that only begins once the journey is nearing its end makes more sense for xeir needs. And i feel like Halsin would understand that, saving his feelings for when he can tell xey are ready to hear them.

Prior to this, Halsin would be there for xem, in every way that counts. From comforting xem after xeir nightmares to helping xem put xeir ridiculously long and unruly hair into braids. Slowly finding himself falling more and more infatuated with xem only after they finally have the cure of the shadow curse in hand.

And he would be completely content to move on from his growing feelings and remain friends if that is what xey felt. Xey don't, but if xey wished Halsin would move on, it isn't worth losing xeir friendship over.

Syrrith wouldn't be shocked by his confession, I don't think. It'd feel natural but new. Like how the moon shines on xem, it feels natural but completely foreign to Syrrith. Xey would be unsure but having finally left xeir past behind them, quite literally, xey would be ready to try something new.

Unfortunately, the current playthrough is locked on Wyll. While he is sweet to Syrrith and I adored the fact that they danced together, seeing as Syrrith worships Eilisteaee, he asks to court xem while xey are fresh out of the underdark again, a place xey feared returning to. It comes off as a bit.. rushed for xem.

But this is an excuse to do a whole second run with xem and i am not complaining.
