I took a chance on it despite the post there.I have the recent Dragon Age Ultimate from Steam set up, with all the DLC's and all installed.
I had already been given the return to ostagar quest before downloading this mod. Just in case that makes a difference possibly. I installed this mod, dumped some gear into Tolby's inventory, then went for the first time to Return to Ostagar DLC area. Killed a few darkspawn at the entrance, returned to camp, and Tolby is still there with my things. I did the manual download and installed the dazip with the daupdater.
Not sure if anything else in the Ostagar DLC will eventually break, but if it does, I'll come back with an update.Otherwise, just assume it all went well for me. Just felt like I should post an update of how it went for me since I hesitated on the mod for several days based off the post there.
This appears to be an abandoned mod, but here's what I can say. I'm on Steam's DA Ultimate. I've installed *all* the DLC that exists for Origins (I even found the old A Story of Orzimmar" DLC).
Tolby didn't show up till after my very first arrival at camp, but he was there and open for business on my 2nd. He takes stuff for 0 cash, gives it back for 0 cash.
He seems stable. I *do* have the Warden's Keep and Return to Ostagar DLC and so far there have been no issues with him.
HOWEVER:
He's a little iffy about upgrading gear to my level. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. It's like every now and then there is a piece of gear he just cannot upgrade that SHOULD be tiered, like a random pair of studded leather gloves. Once he takes it into his head that he's not going to upgrade something, he sticks to his guns, no matter how many times I buy the thing off him, leave the area or reload, sell it back...etc. To be clear, I am NOT simply confused and trying to upgrade some item that isn't tiered. This is stupid non-unique non-stat stuff like a basic pair of chainmail boots or whatever.
FWIW, *all* the vendors in the game seem ever so slightly iffy about upgrading gear, except Mikal (Mikail? Mickal? Whatever the smith that makes the star metal blade (Warden's Keep DLC) is named.) That guy not only upgrades gear, he does so as soon as I shut the vendor window (forcing me to buy it back at full price but OK) and I don't even have to leave the area.
Damn Toby just saved my inventory from free promo DLC overload. BioWare decided to give away tons of country-specific non-loot (http://social.bioware.com/da2/dlc_bundle/), bursting my immersion bubble and putting a ribbon-wrapped finger up game-balance's ass. Hail Toby!
Oh yeah the only thing not perfect about this mod is that Toby spells Warden with a small W once. Been giving me nightmares ever since.
I've used Quartermaster Tolby for awhile now and he has worked flawlessly with every DLC installed, way better than any old chest. Except, he decided to go on strike when Sissy came to camp and he refuses to give me my stuff, unless or until I make Sissy leave. I think that's rude of him.
Well, I can see why this isn't high on the list to be downloaded. The creator abandoned it after it was discovered that the Return To Ostagar DLC breaks this mod completely. I guess that was a waste of my time.
Let me type that in capital letters so people who come to the comments can find out and not waste their time trying to get this to work.
IF YOU HAVE THE RETURN TO OSTAGAR DLC, THIS MOD WILL NOT WORK. AT ALL. NEVER. SO DON'T BOTHER DOWNLOADING IT.
/sigh/ Now to try and find some other way to store my items in the camp....

Update: I found the .utc file and used it to create a .mor file to reference for him

I HAVE THE RETURN TO OSTAGAR DLC TOO AND THIS MOD (I MEAN THE QUARTERMASTER TOLBY) WORKS GREAT!
I REPEAT: THIS MOD WORKS WITH THE RETURN TO OSTAGAR DLC!
