for Dalls - Rescaled Weapons

v1.5
03/10/2010

Rescaled Weapons are original game weapons rescaled (resized) to fit game actors / their type and purpose better. These game-wide weapons rescale which I have made primarily for myself makes almost all weapons somewhat smaller then original Bioware sizing and that might not be to everyone's liking. Huge and silly sized weapons are for whatever reason nowadays very popular and that is probably reason why weapons in Dragon age are made to be very big. My mod changes this in my opinion cheap commercial stunt back to something definitely more useable and much more realistic. So if you think like me that standard in-game weapons (all arms, shields, staves and etc.) are very unrealistic and way too big try this mod as it might be answer to your prayers and if you disagree with above just pass as obviously it wont be of any practical use for you.

These new sizes are balanced system, done on individual basis, which work very well with all animations and not some dumb hogwash of same / fixed rescales. Some arms like crossbows and some shields (dark-spawn and tower shields) were made larger then game originals as they were obviously too small and for some reason left in game undersized.

To install you will have to unpack Dalls_Rescaled_Weapons and copy/paste or drag-n-drop my (mod) Dragon Age files on your Documents \BioWare\Dragon Age folder. Allow overwrite.

If unhappy for whatsoever reason my files can be found in your Documents folder: (\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\Dalls Rescaled Weapons)

Bugs / problems: None known to me but keep in the mind that these files are replacing / overriding standard core files and if you install "new" ones with same name into your override folder they will clash.

Note on optional Swords Add-on: Scaled models for Maric Sword (Return to Ostagar) and Starfangs (Soldier's Peak) which use standard game rather then specific to these mods textures.

Note on v1.4 Upd: Small (resizing) changes for some / different weapon meshes. To have all latest modifications use both v1.3 Upd and v1.4 Upd as update/s for v1.2 Full.

Note on v1.5 Upd: Resizing changes for Darkspawn shields and dagger meshes. They all are now larger and made to fit their use by Darkspawn better. "Dagger" is now about size of smaller short sword as Darkspawn use it in such way.


Use:

Free to use but if used for mod making due credit is expected and mandatory.

Enjoy! ;)

Thanks to BioWare for really great game.
