Dragon Age: Origins

For the sake of cleaning up my sticky post and keeping my description from getting too cluttered, I have moved all compatibility information to this article. Below is the list of what I'm aware of. I will update it as needed.

If you find a mod not listed here that conflicts with mine, please leave a comment on the mod page.


Important Note:

den300_shianni.dlb and den300_shianni.dlg
My dialogue edits for Shianni during Unrest in the Alienage conflict with multiple mods. However, it appears these mods are focused on fixing bugs with the Warden's love interests in the City Elf origin. So, you can safely let Be More Elfy overwrite Shianni's file in other mods while playing as a Dalish Elf. For Qwinn's Fixpack, a patch is provided under Optional Files.

As another option, if you are playing any other origin besides Dalish Elf, you can safely remove my files from your override and move them back when you start another Dalish playthrough.
My changes are flagged for Dalish elves, so you should only see vanilla dialogue while playing as any other origin. However, there is some dialogue I added or flagged for any non-human characters, non-Andrastians, and mage characters that you will see even if you're not a Dalish elf. So, it's up to you whether or not you wish to keep my mod installed when not playing as a Dalish elf.

For more detailed information on my changes, see the article I use to document each character's dialogue edits
.


Compatibility List and Fix Info:



Compatible - Dialogue Tweaks

  • DT edits Wynne, Leliana, and Zevran's main dialogue files, and I won't be making any changes to those files




Compatible - Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack

  • Patches are provided as needed under Optional Files
  • based on the Developer Read Me/documentation that Qwinn kindly provided for other modders- everything else in my mod should be compatible with QUDAO or at least work properly alongside it



Compatible - Dalish Mage Is A Real Mage

  • the mod author graciously made a patch
  • to use both mods together, simply download the patch on that mod's page



Partially compatible - Improved Atmosphere

  • for detailed instructions- see the article on how to use IA with Be More Elfy



Compatible - LRS Leliana Romance Scenes

According to the description page, Shianni's file changes are for a Warden of City Elf origin, so it's okay to overwrite the LRS Shianni files with my files while playing as a Dalish elf.

  • Shianni's affected files are --->  den300_shianni.dlb and den300_shianni.dlg
  • If you keep my mod installed while playing as a City Elf simply delete or overwrite my Shianni files with the LRS files



Not Compatible - Bi Tamlen and Opening Cutscene Dialogue Fix 

The only files affected here are Tamlen's dialogue files, but I made almost all the same changes. The only change I didn't make is fixing Tamlen's incorrect reference to Master Varathorn and not Master Ilen.


My mod makes all the other edits while also altering Mahariel's responses to reflect that they know who Falon'Din is:

  • fixed the incorrectly scripted lethallan vs lethallin reference
  • removed the gender check that made Tamlen's romance inaccessible to males



Mostly compatible - Dalish Mage Dialogue Fix

Any dialogue I edit will be made compatible with the Dalish Mage - Origin mod, so using the Mage Dialogue Fix mod together with my mod is redundant for some files.

  • delete any conflicting dialogue files and allow my mod to overwrite that one



Mostly compatible - Complete Bi Overhaul


Tamlen and Shianni are the only reported conflicts at this time.
Tamlen's file for the Dalish Elf origin ---> bed100cr_tamlen.dlb and bed100cr_tamlen.dlg
Shianni's file for Unrest in the Alienage ---> den300_shianni.dlb and den300_shianni.dlg

I couldn't find any detailed documentation, so I'm unsure exactly what changes have been made in Shianni's dialogue file. Logic says it edits the romance dialogue in Shianni's file for a City Elf Warden.

Romance changes would apply to the conversation that triggers when a City Elf Warden enters the alienage during the Unrest in the Alienage quest.  About the topic of the unfinished wedding and subsequent events that happened at the beginning of the City Elf origin. If they are in the party, the Warden's love interest reacts to this discussion. This doesn't apply to Dalish Wardens. So, because the mod most likely only addresses dialogue related to the CityElf origin, Be More Elfy should overwrite Shianni's files from Complete Bi Overhaul during a Dalish Elf playthrough
.

  • if you play as a Warden of non-Dalish origin with both mods installed, allow CBO to overwrite Be More Elfy
  • if you play as a Warden of Dalish origin with both mods installed, allow Be More Elfy to overwrite CBO, as none of my conversations touch or alter romance choices
  • the other changes to Unrest in the Alienage are compatible
  • my mod also unlocks the Tamlen romance for males - delete Tamlen's files from CBO or allow mine to overwrite CBO's.



Mostly compatible - Zevran Dialogue Fixes

The only affected files at this time are Shianni's during Unrest in the Alienage---->
den300_shianni.dlb and den300_shianni.dlg
As seen with Complete Bi Overhaul, ZDF's fixes to Shianni are for the City Elf origin only.


  • if you play as a Warden of non-Dalish origin with both mods installed, allow ZDF to overwrite Be More Elfy
  • if you play as a Warden of Dalish origin with both mods installed, allow Be More Elfy to overwrite ZDF, as the changes ZDF makes only apply to the City Elf origin.


Side note: If you use QUDAO and my Unrest in the Alienage patch for QUDAO, you can keep my mod installed during the City Elf origin, and you should get the same fixes for Shianni as ZDF provides (of course, which fix mod you use is up to personal preference)


Mostly Compatible - Origin High Cunning Flag Reduction

  • Tamlen's dialogue edits conflict with my mod and are redundant since I changed flag checks for asking Ashalle about your parents and knowing who Falon'Din is (statue in the elven ruins)
  • Delete bed100cr_tamlen.dlb and bed100cr_tamlen.dlg from the Origin High Cunning Flag mod files
