    Awesome! It look's so freaking good! I am glad to see their is still a bit of DA:O modding going on. Just recently started playing on the pc (little late to the party), FAAAAR superior from console game. All of these wonderful mods and people who create them. I wish you much luck on finding some voice actors, and i will be eagerly awaiting your release LadyHonor.

      Lol welcome to the club. I play DAO on pc and console. DA Awakening on pc only, DA2 on Xbox 360, and Inquisition on ps4. I keep coming back to DAO on pc tho because there is sooooo much you can do with it. I am hoping to release this in about a month, but the last time I said that about one of mods a weekend project took about two months to get all the bugs worked out. Lol so we'll see. I gave myself a little longer this time. Lol

      No it is the city guard barracks of Highever. My mod adds more playable content to the human noble origin. Here are some more pics. You'll have to view the forum topic to see them full size.  Sorry about that.  I tried resizing them, but they aren't cooperating. lol

      Wow! Did you build that all yourself? Looks very Tevinter-y
      Will the sky change?

      Oh, and the light in the barracks looks lovely

      Ooh, cool! I was asking if it's a tavern because then I would say it's too bright but for the barracks it fits imo well.Great work.. I'm looking forward to your mod!

      I used the Tevinter tileset because of all I searched through it is the only one that even the slightest appearance of windows and I lack the skill to make my own. This mod is pretty much a precursor to a follower mod I've been working on off and on for quite a while. Almost everything for the human noble origin is complete save for a few ambient features (people roaming the streets and populating the areas). So I decided I'd go ahead and release the origin part. You'll get to play with my Highever followers outside of the castle both in day and night evironments, but they won't follow you inside (I didn't want to make any edits that might break the game).

      When the follower mod is finally finished, you'll be able to return to Highever after Ostagar, but not to retake it. Retaking it would basically break the game or at the very lease not flow well with the storyline. Basically, you get to sneak around in it a bit and if you're a human noble, you'll be recognized if you aren't careful. You will also have the option of buying a townhouse if you have enough gold...which is why I wanted windows. lol

      As for the sky...what do you suggest I do with it?

      Oh...I forgot to add by the time you reach Ostagar, it is entirely possible your character will have already earned his or her specialization skill or at least be very close to it. So I took in to consideration the games level cap and adjusted that as well.

      How long have you been working on this? It sounds like so much work! Are you some kind of sorcerer?

      Lol now that's a good question. I actually built these levels a few years ago when I first started tinkering around in the toolset with the intentions of making a standalone that continued the warden's story. But after a couple of years it became clear I wouldn't live long enough to finish what I had in mind. Sooooo....I sort of just lost interest in it plus life got in the way. My father got sick and I just didn't have time to work on it like I needed to. Anyway he passed away Christmas of 2015 and after a couple of months I decided to make it a follower mod instead. So I started over with what I had then my pc died. That was actually a blessing. I got a new computer that is far much much (I can't stress enough how much) better than my old one and started again. Lol I have finished the dialog for the human noble origin, but not for the entire game. So I decided to release that part of it now....Or in a few weeks. I'm still trying to find enough volunteers to voice it. So it's really difficult to say how long it's taken me. There were are lot of periods of time I didn't work on it at all.
