About this mod

An assortment of weapons for everyone's Hawke

Was anyone else really disappointed when they met their Hawke who was wielding really boring models of the wrong weapon type? Probably most people who imported rogue or warrior Hawke! This mod allows you to swap Hawke's default weapons out for a comfortable, familiar old model of your choosing.

While most weapons models from DAII were ported to DAI, many were heavily altered to fit into the DAI crafting system. I've recreated a lot of weapons (including lots of weapons restricted to party members or from item packs) but liberties had to be taken.

In addition I tweaked the textures for a couple of ported models to be closer to their DAII appearance. Those are available way down at the bottom of the downloads list.

I won't be updating the description every time I add new models so please keep an eye on the changelog tab if you're interested.

Hawke's Armory

Installation of CORE files:
  • This mod must be installed in at least two parts to work properly. The first part that must be installed are the CORE files.
  • CORE files for each class/gender combination are packaged as separate mods. Up to six can be installed at a time, one for each class/gender.
  • Warrior Hawkes can equip either a 2-handed weapon or sword & shield. Rogue Hawkes can either equip a bow or dual wield.
  • Hawkes of different genders can equip different weapon styles, but you cannot equip both weapon styles for the same class/gender Hawke.
  • These core files swap Hawke's existing weapons out for unused test weapons from development. These were chosen as they don't appear anywhere in game and I'm unaware of any mods using them, so they should be compatible with all weapon mods.

Files modified:

  • gen_partymember_plot_hawke_mage_m
  • gen_partymember_plot_hawke_mage_f
  • gen_partymember_plot_hawke_rogue_m
  • gen_partymember_plot_hawke_rogue_f
  • gen_partymember_plot_hawke_warrior_m
  • gen_partymember_plot_hawke_warrior_f

Installation of weapon add-ons:
  • Optional weapons add-ons have been provided to change the appearance of the equipped test weapons, so you can customize your Hawke to your liking.
  • All new weapons are level 15 (vanilla Hawkes came equipped with weapons ranging from level 7-21). Hawke can fight just fine without these add-on mods but the weapons will be level 1 and, come on, you know you want the fancy weapons ;)
  • One optional weapon file can be installed for each weapon style without conflicting. If Hawkes of different genders have different styles of weapon equipped, they can wield different weapons. If they have the same weapon style equipped, same weapon. Simple.
  • Once again, these are unused test files from development and I am unaware of any mods that should conflict with them.

Files modified:

  • equip_test_axe_ice
  • equip_test_bow_ice
  • equip_test_dualdagger_ice
  • equip_test_maul_ice
  • equip_test_shield
  • equip_test_staff_spirit

  • test_item_app_greatsword_2
  • test_item_app_maul_1
  • test_item_app_staff_u_1
  • test_item_app_sword_1

Known issue:

  • If your inquisitor is of a low enough level (below 10), Hawke will have a placeholder weapon equipped instead of the modded weapon. The current fix for this issue is to install a mod to remove item level requirements, which has been uploaded under miscellaneous files.

Weapons Pack: Hawke's Heinous Keys


Nobody wants this (I was told), but I had to. Note there is no greatsword available because that model was apparently one of the few not ported to DAI.


Weapons Pack: Spoils of the Qunari


The Champion earned their title evicting the Qunari occupation from Kirkwall. Equip them with the spoils. Currently this pack only contains the Bassrath-Kata models from DAII. Does not require the DLC this pack is named after, sorry, I could have thought this through more.
