I am pleased to present you with Alistair�s Royal Wedding.

This scene will trigger for the Human Noble Female Warden upon exiting the Landsmeet Chamber at the end of the game, provided:

1. You are Human Female and are of Noble Origin
2. You are at Love status with Alistair
3. You have selected the �Rule beside him� option during the Landsmeet.
4. You both have survived the Archdemon.

What to expect:

* Upon leaving the Landsmeet Chamber there will be a load screen followed by a black loading screen.
* The time for load can be from 12 seconds to around 40 depending on your system. If loading time is considerably * longer than that, your system may not play the scene as intended. (see "Performance Issues" section)

* When the scene completes you will see the Epilogue Slides as usual.

Wedding Dresses:

* FFZero and Lanfaero01 have provided me with Dresses for use with this scene and
is a separate downloadable package.
* Some of these are still works in progress so keep an eye out for updates!

Scene Performance:
==============

You may experience a lag in 3 areas where you see the crowd.

* The opening shot
* From behind the Altar
* The final crowd shot

This is normal and expected.

Important!
Please see the section on performance issues below.


Conflicts:
=======

* If you happen to have an old version Epilogue NPC Changes mod by Cmessaz, it contains an old test wedding version inside (by accident) and it will OVERRIDE the actual scene. Please delete any file with the name
hnf_wedding.cut and hnf_wedding.cub if these are found anywhere in your override folders.

* If you are using �Anyone can Marry Alistair�, or any other lore altering mods, the scene will still fire provided you are Female Human Noble from the beginning of the game.

* If you save the game at the end-game Landsmeet Chamber with this mod installed, and you have uninstalled it, to complete the game with this savegame you may click on the *left* guard. The right one will not appear.

* No known conflicts.



Performance Issues:
===============

I have done everything within my power to make this a premium experience, but as a result, there is a slight chance that some users may experience difficulties. This scene may not play well on certain systems. (excessive lag)

While I am not sure of the exact cause, in order to help ease any possible frustration,
I am providing you with a Test Cutscene program.

Before installing the mod, please unrar the "Cutscene Performance Test" file included in the package to see if your system is compatible.
You will be provided with a youtube link for performance comparison after viewing the test scene. If your performance is similar to what appears there, the scene will work as intended. If it is anything less I cannot guarantee your experience will be the best it can be.

Please accept my apologies if this indeed happens to be the case. I have a relatively old computer and it runs very well for me, so I hadn't thought this would even be an issue.

Installation:
========
Use Modmanager to uninstall any previous version.

Install the new Dazip file with DA Updater


How to use DAupdater:
- Daupdater.exe is located in your Dragon Age installation folder, \Dragon Age\bin_ship directory.
- Click on "Select DAZips"
- Choose the directory where you downloaded the mod
- Select the new version, Click "open"

- Click on "Install Selected"


Uninstall:
=======

Dress Selection:
