Yeah, I have a mod too for TSL that gives you better-looking DS characters. They don't get as pale, their eyes change colors, and they get tribal facial tattoos. Instead of looking like they are about to keel over.
I had to get it, otherwise I wouldn't play as darkside. The taint just made them look either really silly or really disturbing. And in the first game it made the romance a joke. Especially if the PC was a girl, ick...poor Carth falling in love with someone who looked like a Michel Jackson impersonator. And for TSL I saw what everyone looked like DS before I played the game and I found them quite, well, icky for the lack of a better word. To me they don't look evil they just look like very, very tired wanna-be goths.
