Dragon Age Origins modlist

DAO Mods (Awakening included)


The general goal of this collection is compatibility, immersion, and (in most cases) preserving the intent of the developers. Exceptions to the latter goal include Tiered Uniques (which makes unique items have stats at least comparable to their non-unique counterparts if not stats more like that of the item's description) or Quick Shapeshifting (which removes the charge-up time for shapeshifting, to reflect the instantaneous transformations seen in cutscenes).


Of note, apparently DAO chooses its mod "load order" based upon the names of the folders in its Override Folder. Just FYI.


Mods which require you to choose between them:
# Body proportions: Proportions Fix series (underwear) vs Realistic Look (nude).
# Shapeshifter tweaks: Quick Shapeshifing (just quicker than normal) vs Shapeshifting Plus (adds Dragon morph and provides a quick option).
# Improved Atmosphere vs... a lot. You can delete portions of that mod to make things compatible. ZDF Dialog Fix details this.
# Advanced Tactics vs. Smarter Party AI. They can be used together with risk of breaking combat AI, or you can choose one. Smarter Party
  AI is marginally more realistic and creates a nice-looking fight to say the least, but Advanced Tactics is more customizable.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL IMPROVED ATMOSPHERE FIRST, FOLLOWED BY TWEAKING ZDF DIALOG FIX TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH WHATEVER OTHER DIALOG
MODS YOU'D LIKE TO USE. COMBAT\RULE MODS SHOULD FOLLOW THIS AND THEN ANYTHING ELSE YOU LIKE. READ IMPROVED ATMOSPHERE'S README!!!!!!!!!!

That said, here are the included mods (make sure to read the notes here and in each mods' folder for special instructions):


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advanced Tactics
Fixes several bugs with the AI and Tactics systems for the game to make NPC combat more effective and challenging.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=181

Will definitely conflict a little with Smarter Party DAO and DAA but does most of what it does anyway.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3323

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bodahn Tweaks
Adjusts the buying and selling rates for Bodahn (the dwarf merchant in camp) so that he actually seems grateful to you.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=333

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After installing the mod with daupdater or DAModder, open the file:
..Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\DragonAge.ini

At the end of the file, add the following lines(sample):
[Bodahn]
SellMarkUp=100
BuyMarkDown=50
Mats=BASE

SellMarkUp is the markup when Bodahn sells you things, and BuyMarkDown is the markdown when Bodahn buy things from you. If you don't set
the options, it will be defaulted to 100 and 50, like in previous versions.

For the Mats field, you can set it to:
NONE - will not restock anything he doesn't already sell (does nothing)
BASE - will restock Deathroot, Elfroot, Lyrium Dust. Deep Mushroom, Trap Trigger, and Venom
METALSHARD - will restock everything in base + Metal Shard
ALL - above plus Glamour Charm, Demonic Ichor, and all elemental Crystals

Default is set to BASE if no option set.

Another sample setup could be:
[Bodahn]
SellMarkUp=0
BuyMarkDown=500
Mats=ALL

Makes several extremely rare items available in camp. Now you might actually get a complete set of ceremonial armor in a playthrough.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1565#

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chain Lightning - Upgraded (Partial Version)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Makes the circles around characters in combat either be invisible or considerably less visual, for immersion.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=95

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combat Delay Reduction DAO and DAA
Makes combat not go as slowly in "animation heavy" areas by telling the game not to "loop" the default standing animation. Odd oversight
on the part of developers but this definitely makes combat run much smoother in populated areas.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3322

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concept Art Morrigan (Hood only, all other files removed)
Gives Morrigan, whatever her appearance, the hood seen in her concept artwork.

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=937

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=433

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cullen Romance Option - Mage Origin
Allows a female mage to flirt and begin a forbidden romance with Cullen, a templar in the Ferelden Circle.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1949

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Possible that Dialogue Tweaks has a conflict, though I can't find it myself. For this reason, these are the files edited
by this mod (Dialogue Tweaks' versions of these files ought to be deleted).
bhm400_irving.dlg and .dlb
bhm300_cullen.dlg and .dlb
arl210cr_jowan.dlg and .dlb
cir230_cullen.dlg and .dlb
plt_bhm00pt_main.plo and .nss

Very likely conflicts with the Dalish Mage Dialogue Fix above.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DA Gore Adjustment
Alters the level of blood splatter on characters in the game.
http://social.bioware.com/project/2416/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2636

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2455

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1323#

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dalish Concept Tattoo
This is the tattoo seen on the Dalish Origin concept artwork. It'll need to be added to your Warden via the Toolset if you want it.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1730

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dalish Mage Dialogue Fix
Very likely to conflict with dialogue tweaks to the members of the Mages' Circle but nevertheless if you're using the Dalish Mage Origin
mod then this dialogue fix is for you. Should fix most issues of people "recognizing" you from a childhood\adulthood you didn't have.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2571

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

As stated, will probably conflict with some dialogue mods that affect members of the Circle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dalish Mage - Origin
Enables you to be a Dalish Mage, albeit with a few issues here and there where people think you grew up as part of the Circle, which may
not actually be a "bug" in some cases (you could well be a city elf, so far as people are concerned). Lore-wise, each Dalish clan usually
only has two mages, the Keeper and their First, but when an extra emerges they are ultimately "traded off" to another clan that needs a
First. If you need a backstory for who you are, you're an extra mage that hasn't been "traded off" yet.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=764

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

See above for a dialogue fix mod, to address a few of the issues where people "recognize" you as a "Mage Origin" warden.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DAQuest: The Master's Desire
A stand-alone campaign that attempts to recreate the feel of old adventure games in the Dragon Age setting.
http://social.bioware.com/project/1377/

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This mod's "sleuth" system may cause issues when playing any other campaign, so best to only have this installed when you mean to play it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark Ritual Deleted Scene
"Restores" a scene between Alistair and Morrigan that was cut from the final version of the game. Depicted in the "Dragon Age: Revelation" comic.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1611

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Desire Demon Nudepatch
Makes the Desire Demon topless, reflecting more of the basic "lust" theme there.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=96

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deathblow (forced deathblow file removed, weapon stat rebalancing removed, author's music album removed, armor rune fix applied)
Adds quite a few variations on deathblows (including gory decapitations) for all weapon combinations.
http://social.bioware.com/project/4188/#details

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Makes deathblow animations as frequent or infrequent as you like, or only allows them for bosses.

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=635

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragon Age Redesigned
Updates the appearances of virtually all characters and NPCs so that they match lore and character conversations better, more properly

http://social.bioware.com/project/4483/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emissary
Awesome little stand-alone campaign that, like the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC, lets you take control of Darkspawn. The story takes place
in an isolated stretch of desert, an Emissary desperately trying to lead after the fall of the archdemon- just after the Origins campaign.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1152

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fang at Tier 7
Makes the "Fang" dagger a Tier 7 item, like in the console versions of Dragon Age Origins.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1021

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fragments of Ferelden
A quest mod taking place in an alternate version of Ferelden, one of several "lost pieces" of Thedas long-ago vanished from the
real world. You play as a templar, defending the Tower, a last bastion of civilization, against creatures from the Labyrinth.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=520

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=943

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An add-on for ZDF Dialog Fixes (installed after it is completely configured) which creates a long goodbye kiss scene between the Warden
and their love interest before they part at the final battle and the Warden (presumably) goes off to their death.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1077

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grey Wardens of Ferelden
Equips all Grey Wardens with the armor seen in DAII and, in the case of the Warden Commander armor, in Ferelden's Past (Sophia Dryden).
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3258

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The "Core.dazip" file for this needs to be installed as well as the manual mods.

Requires Kirkwall Exports.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golem Registry and Shaper's Life Reward Fix
Fixes the lack of intended reward for quests "The Golem Registry" and "The Shaper's Life".
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=335

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Improved Atmosphere ("New" Facemorphs pack not included)
Dramatically improves the overall atmosphere of nearly every area in the entire game. Flat-out essential to the game.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=577

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

DA2 Isabela and Flemeth to DAO, DA2 Merill and Marethari for DAO, Grey Wardens of Ferelden, Templars of Ferelden, Chantry of Ferelden,
ZDF Dialog Fix, and virtually any mod which touches NPC outfits or dialogs will likely conflict with this mod. That said, this is a
popular mod, so several fixes exist (most are included in the documentation for mods, if a compatibility patch isn't included outright).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Improved Warden's Oath (Version 1)
Adds "Weaken nearby Darkspawn" and "+1 to Random Attribute" to the Warden's Oath amulet, making it similar to the amulets in the
"Warden's Calling" novel (albeit without the drawbacks).
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1619

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interesting Boss Drops
Makes bosses drop a larger variety of items, rather than just some money and a few consumables or something similar.
http://social.bioware.com/project/867/

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Similar component in Improved Atmosphere.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joining Ritual Fix for Awakening Companions
Allows Sigrun and Velanna to undertake the Joining even if they were the last member of your party that was recruited.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2997

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kal-Sharok
Excellent quest mod taking place in and around the only other Dwarven city aside from Orzammar still functioning: Kal Sharok, the capital.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=519

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Incompatible with Ser Gilmore, so disable that and any major gameplay mod (Awakening in the OC) first.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kirkwall Exports
Adds several pieces of equipment from Dragon Age 2 to the game, available via console.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3098

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kite Shield Texture (without heraldry)

Makes Morrigan look like she does in the Sacred Ashes trailer.

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1444

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://social.bioware.com/project/334/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lothering Hawke of Ferelden (version 2)
Turns the Helpful Refuge in Lothering into [warrior] Hawke from Dragon Age II.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3254

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Requires Kirkwall Exports.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lycanthropy
Gives the Warden a chance of contracting lycanthropy from the werewolves in the main quest. Each hit from a werewolf has a slim chance of
transferring the disease and, once contracted, the Warden my occasionally lose control of themselves in combat and transform into a
werewolf until combat ends. Only Elves and Humans can be infected.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3287

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The mod also extends the duration of the Werewolf's 'Shriek' ability to be the same as the Bear's 'Enrage' ability.

The "SP Addon" found in the "Manual Mods" folder ties lycantropy even moreso into the main quest. If the Warden is infected, the disease
harms their stats a little until it comes time to decide whether to end the curse on all of the werewolves or not. All effects of the
disease vanish if you end the curse, but the full effect of the disease, described above, comes into play if you allow it to continue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mabari Update
Gives Mabari warhounds slight alterations to make them more resemble their appearance in Dragon Age II.
http://social.bioware.com/project/4757/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make Console Commands Visible
When the console for the game is activated (via Dragon Age Mod Manager is easiest), you can actually see what you're typing now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misha the Hoarder

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minor Tactics Table Fixes
Fixes a few enemy behaviors as indicated in the developers' design notes and a few inconsistencies.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=659

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Creates more random encounters in the course of the Awakening campaign (closer to the Origins campaign's levels).
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3394

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More Hairstyles
Adds several new hairstyles to the game.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=392

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Combine with Tucked Hair, etc in the Chargen Morph Compiler if you want to be able to use several hair\eye\makeup mods at once.
NPCs should still be able to access these hairs regardless, however.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morrigan Restoration Patch Dialog Fixpack
Restores several cutscenes and party banters involving Morrigan.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1120

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morrigan Sacred Ashes Trailer Robes
Alters the appearance of Morrigan's robes to more resemble those in the Sacred Ashes trailer.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1902

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morrigan True Concept Art Edition
Makes Morrigan strongly resemble her concept art, hood, makeup, and all.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3348

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NPC Equipment Refinement
Makes off-duty guardsmen play cards without their armor on, gives some NPCs a little more appropriate clothes.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1938

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Author says he uses it alongside Improved Atmosphere with no noticable issues but admits there may be some minor incompatibilities. In
this case, you'll want to look for .utc files in either mod and delete the one you'd prefer not to have.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NoPink Warden Commander
Prevents the Warden Commander from turning pink, orange, etc when it scales up to certain equipment tiers.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=678

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personal Annoyance Remover
Reduces how long the spell auras around your characters last. No more glowing while trying to sneak down a dark alley.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=98

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pets Persist Through Area Load
Makes any pets summoned by a ranger remain summoned when moving to a new area.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=354

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick Shapeshifting
Makes shapeshifting instantaneous, as shown in cutscenes and trailers for Dragon Age Origins.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=84

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Not compatible with Shapeshift Plus. Choose one or the other. There is an "Instant" version of that mod as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qunari Update
Makes all Kossith- including Sten- more resemble the species as it appears in Dragon Age II. It should be noted that, according to lore,
Qunari operatives in foreign countries tend to be either hornless Kossith or not Kossith at all, so as to intimidate the populace less
and gain more intel for the Qunari.
http://social.bioware.com/project/4592/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quests and Legends
A phenomenal mod that, while keeping mostly to established lore, adds several new quests and areas to the game.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2040

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A bugfix patch can be found in "Manual Mods."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rak_DA2ishCullen
Gives Cullen the same hairstyle and face structure he has in Dragon Age II.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3114

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Realistic Look
High-quality nude skins for all dwarves, elves, and humans (and kossith?).
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=285

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Not compatible with the "Proportions Fix" series, which is essentially this without the nudity.

Not likely compatible with Elf Update either.

King Cailan's body, torture victims, several prisoners, etc are "naked" in the vanilla game, so don't be surprised.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remove Green Glow Master Ranger DAO and DAA
Removes the glowing light surrounding summoned ranger pets when you're a master ranger.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3160

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescaled Swords and Daggers
Resizes several weapons to be a little more realistic (also makes the massive Qunari sword clearly meant for the height of a Kossith.
http://social.bioware.com/project/2275/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Retextured Lady of the Forest
Fixes several odd graphic artifacts on the Lady of the Forest's skin (looks like cellulite) and actually *gives* her nipples.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1993

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Return to the Kocari Wilds
Return to the wilds and come to the aid of a few scattered members of King Cailan's royal guard.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1432

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Compatible with Ser Gilmore NPC, in spite of adding two more companions to the game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sacred Ashes Spider Shapeshifting
Increases the size of the spider form to that seen in the Sacred Ashes trailer. As a side effect, also affects spiders in the Deep Roads.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2095

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ser Gilmore companion NPC - Fully Voiced
Allows you to recruit the knight of Highever from the Noble Origin. Look for him in Lothering. Fully voiced, complete with party banter
and romance options. Should be noted, however, that when in Howe's estate's dungeons later in the main quest, you'll briefly see a
pile of corpses, Howe's torture victims, which seems to include a captured and killed Ser Gilmore, though the game doesn't focus on this
corpse and a Noble-origin Warden won't react to the discovery any more than a Warden of another origin.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=851

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Companion Core.dazip needs to be installed as well.

In the "manual mods" folder is an "Override-Overwrite" file for Ser Gilmore *if* you're still having compatibility issues with other
mods. Shouldn't be an issue though if you make sure to use the Ser Gilmore versions of mods.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ser Gilmore and Dog companions in Awakening - Fully Voiced
Brings Ser Gilmore *and* your Marbari warhound over into the Awakening expansion, accounting for whether or not you had previously met
either of them in Origins.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3210

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Requires that the main Ser Gilmore mod be installed as well.

Should *only* be activated when you're playing Awakening. Author also recommends you deactivate\uninstall any mods which are intended
for Awakening while playing Origins and vice versa.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shapeshifter Plus (Normal and Instantaneous Transformation versions)
Allows a Master-level shapeshifter to transform into a dragon like Flemeth and makes all shapeshifter forms level along with the user of
those spells, along with a few balancing tweaks to make each form have clearer pros and cons.
http://social.bioware.com/project/1317/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shield Scale Mod
Scales the size of shields to be a tad more realistic (bucklers that aren't the size of a tower shield, etc).
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1714

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sigrun's Roguish Past & Law and Order Fix
Keeps Mischa from vanishing after the Law and Order Quest, allowing you more time to do Sigrun's personal quest.
http://social.bioware.com/project/3129

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shadow Wardens Armor (Store version)
A "dark" variation on Duncan's armor, as a younger Duncan is described wearing in "The Calling" novel. Bought from Bodahn in camp.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=215

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sleeping Tent in Party Camp
Adds a tent for the Warden themselves in camp. Nothing more than eye candy.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=735#

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smarter Party DAO and DAA
Changes NPC AI so that ranged fighters, in particular, will avoid melee combat and area effect damage.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3153

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Will definitely conflict a little with Advanced Tactics but does most of what it does anyway. It's just not as customizable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statistics Fix - Bosses Killed
Makes the game accurately keep track of how many bosses you've killed.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=194

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Templars of Ferelden - Armors
Gives all Templars their armor from Dragon Age II (Captains wear the armor you see Templar Captain Meredith in).
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3256

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tiered Uniques
Makes many of the unique items in the game have statistics similar or better than their non-unique counterparts, regardless of when they
can be found in-game. This holds up considering their descriptions in the Codex.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=42

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Improved Atmosphere addresses some incompatibilities in its readme file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Broken City
Sequel to "Fragments of Ferelden," this quest mod also ties up loose ends from "Dirge of Coldhearth."
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2089

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Carrion Birds
A quest mod following the conclusion of the Origins campaign. Very polished.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1910

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Some are suggesting that this campaign has affected the official campaigns on their systems. For this reason it's recommended not to keep
this mod active while you play the main game and vice versa.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

True Dalish 1-2
Adds more atmosphere to the Dalish by giving them more tattoos, armor and equipment where they had none, etc. Fantastic mod.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1932

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

*May* conflict with Improved Atmosphere's Dalish camp files, but that's easily resolved by deleting any duplicate files first if you're
using Improved Atmosphere. You'll want to look for .utc files (these determine what an NPC is wearing on their person). Should be noted
that the maker of True Dalish and other players report they're using these mods together without significant issues.

Probably will conflict with the Merrill\Marethari DA2 mod, but again the conflicting files in this mod can be deleted as necessary.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tucked Hair
Adds "tucked" versions of several vanilla hairstyles to the game.
http://social.bioware.com/project/2595/

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Combine with More Hairstyles, etc in the Chargen Morph Compiler if you want to be able to use several hair\eye\makeup mods at once.
NPCs should still be able to access these hairs regardless, however.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uncapped Elemental Damage Bonus
Allows you- and enemies- to stack elemental damage past 30%, allowing you to make use of items which claim to add more elemental damage
than this cap would otherwise actually allow.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1544

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Universal Voices
Makes all voicesets be available to a character from any race, with "low" voices being Dwarves' and "high" voices being Elves'.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1512

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unlock All Achievements
Does exactly what the title of the mod suggests.
http://social.bioware.com/project/524/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vigilance-Starfang Fix
Fixes Vigilance's graphics in Awakening so that it doesn't share Starfang's graphics if the Warden's Keep DLC is installed.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=874

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warden Armour Textures
Texture pack for "Grey Wardens of Ferelden" that gives the Warden armor a brown pattern rather than a blue one like in the Warden's Calling
trailer. This may reflect Ferelden's Grey Warden colors, with blue being those of the Free Marshes and Kirkwall.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3304

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Naturally requires Grey Wardens of Ferelden, and subsequently Kirkwall Exports.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warden Shields
Makes the Grey Warden shields seen in the Warden's Calling and Sacred Ashes trailers available for purchase in camp.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=671

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weapon VFX Remover
Removes the visual effects of natturally-enchanted or rune-enchanted weapons. The idea is that only spell-enchanted weapons would have,
say, fire clinging to them (because the element had been cast onto the weapon).
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=297

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

There's one of these in Improved Atmosphere too. You've got to choose between the two.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ZevRing
Turns the earring Zevran might give you into an actual accessory you can equip and use, sort of like Morrigan's ring.
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=865#

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Has some compatiblity issues with ZDF Dialog Fix, but information on how to fix these can be found in the notes for that mod.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE RELEASE OF "THE HIDDEN CIRCLE," WHICH LOOKS PHENOMENAL AND TIES IN WITH DRAGON AGE II.
