How to cover up Fane?

[theOtherGuy]

Long story short, I've been wearing the Mask up until the Driftwood Arena. Kept trying different things, but the NPCs always see Fane is an Undead after the fight.

So, loaded back some old saves in an attempt to NOT use the Mask. However, no matter what helmet I put Fane in, everyone can see he's an Undead. Almost like ONLY the Mask works now, when a Cowl or a Helmet used to work at Fort Joy.

That sounds like a bug.

[theOtherGuy]

Can't quite figure out a way around this. Also note that I kept encountering the bug where Fane's portrait disappears.

Think I might have found a way, not sure I get it, but it seems like he needs to visit the mirror every so often.
- I put on the mask, undid the transformation, even without being transformed
- Removed all his gear
- Went to the mirror to change something and change him back
- Dismissed him
- Ends up naked with a cowl
- Re-recruited him, and people stopped freaking out.

...I don't really get it...

you mean that mask that lets him transform?

when you'r walking around do you have it set on undead or something else?

also, I think you can rip a face off and wear it all the time but with a helmet

[theOtherGuy]

Yeah. Played around, seems like he needs to be fully geared or something. Somehow one of the pieces he was wearing probably wasn't registering for some reason. Resetting him by dismissing might have did the trick, although I had to redo the fight.

oh yeah, it says when you enter ft joy you gotta keep all his bits covered

if you did anything that would cause a stat loss maybe one piece failed the stat req and popped off

I faced the same issue. When you choose to fight blindfolded - it removes the helmet. It outs it back after the fight, but! If there was some piece of equipment, dependent on the helmet (shorts in my case, helmet +2str and shorts with 12 required, but Fane has only 10) - it will be removed but wouldn't put back! And you are not a hidden undead anymore.
To fix that I used a potion of invisibility on Fane right before the end of the fight, put pent back before anyone noticed a boner (get it?). Worked perfectly well
