Glowing head glitch?

[Achi]

Hi folks, I have a question concerning my character. For some reason his head is glowing as if it was a candle. It's a pulsing light that doesn't really function like a light source in the game, but it does kind of look weird, and it can get a little irritating, because of the glare.
Is this a glitch or a side effect of some item? (I'm wearing a couple of parts of the Hero Set, but that doesn't seem to be the reason).

Does anyone know what's going on with that and how to get rid of it?

Here is what it looks like:

What kind of helm do you have on you?

I am wearing the Barreled Helmet. But it's not the item. The effect remains even when I take the helmet off.

Great...well, at least it helps with night time reading.

What about naked? I'm suspicious of the cloak.

Hello Mr. Hyneman! :)

I don't think it's the cloak. My pawn wears the same one and she doesn't "glow" at all.

Did you buy a special jewelry?, disable HDR?

Well, perhaps it isn't that, pirate doggie, but let's eliminate any potential clothing effects first. Also weapons, which may glow with enchantment. And of course make sure the lantern isn't equipped, even if it has no oil.

I'm a big fan of Mythbusters (and pirate dogs)! ;)

I'm certain it's not the clothing or weaponry. I can rule out the lantern by now as well. I'll have to check the jewelry, though, although I don't think that I had changed any of those around recently. But I will try to unequip it all and see if that changes anything.

My game settings have remained the same since I started playing, so it can't be that. Your idea with the jewelry is something I have to test, although I never noticed any visual effects caused by jewelry in this game before.

Okay, mystery solved! You were right by the way: it is connected to clothing. More specifically the item called the "Hero's Surcoat".
Thanks for taking the time to help me out, gentlemen.

You're welcome. Glad we solved the mystery. Also, just to be sure we're clear, I'm not Jamie; I just like this picture. I also enjoy Mythbusters, though. Not sure about pirate dogs. They better keep far away from my booty.

No worries, I think yours is an awesome picture!
As for pirate dogs; once they sense booty there is no holding them...it's not in their nature. But we can bark a mean shanty! :)

I'm sorry but this is why we try EVERYTHING. The problem was the clothes but you couldn't be bothered to even remove them all to test and instead argued. Hope a lesson was learned here.

Normally, I don't oppose thread necromancy, because past discussion is still relevant to the present, but did you really need to make a snotty reply and notify us all, almost 8 years later?
