RLs WITCHER EMPORIUM


Treasures of another time and from the far reaches of Temeria were discovered by a humble band of wandering nomads. Buried deep within the Blasted Hills, at the base of the Hunterhorn Mountains the magnificent chests were revealed by an abrupt flash flood. Having no need of such wares, the nomads bartered with passing merchants to rid themselves of such a heavy and cumbersome burden. As a result, these magnificent creations can now be yours . . . for a price.


The Witcher Emporium is based on the mod “Witcher 2 DAO” by Makara, as well as resources from “Philippa Dress” by LadyOfPayne, “Back to Ferelden” by Sabrine and “Raptures Witcher” by InBleedingRapture. Without the above authors’ generosity, this mod would not be possible. Please give a nod to these wonderful authors when visiting their mods.

This mod contains 39 standalone armor sets made from the beautiful retextures found on The Witcher 2 Nexus,
The Witcher Nexus and The Skyrim Nexus. The armors are packaged in a .dazip and require the console to add them to your game. Permission for these retextures was given to me by the author or permission was granted on the author’s mod site. You must have the authors’ permission before using their resources. A list of the authors can be found at the bottom of this description page, in the “Permission & Credits” section and in the Readme, which is included with the download.

Stats: I used the same stats on all the armors. You can easily change them by using the “Winter Forge” or the pygff editor for your saved game.

** Most of the armors have the LOD files. A few do not. Therefore you may notice that the bodies will contort at a distance. To remedy this, talk to the companion wearing the armor that is contorting. If it is your warden, just talk to anyone. A long conversation is not necessary; just get to the point of “never mind”.

**Some of the textures do not translate well to DAO. You may notice some slight discoloration or errant shadows. I’ve done my best to tweak everything to show the armors in the best way for DAO.

**A list of item variation and item set numbers is included with the download for those interested.

**A note on the Philippa dress; there are alternate files under the miscellaneous section that will remove the collar. To use the alternate version, put the texture into your toolsetexport folder in the override and it will override the mod’s dress texture.


**I have noticed a glitch with the item set bonus not appearing when the PC and a companion(s) wear the same item set. The PC’s item set bonus will disappear when reloading a save and sometimes when entering a new area and it will not re-initiate even when un-equipping and re-equipping parts of the armor set. I do not know why this happens and I have tried to solve the problem with no results. If this happens to you, I have added an optional file called “The Ring of Shadows”. The ring will compensate for the PC’s missing set bonus. It is a separate download under miscellaneous.

INSTALLATION
-------------------------
You can use DAUpdater found in Program Files\Dragon Age\bin_ship or you can use
DAO-Modmanager by Altorian found here:
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/277/?


I used both and the mod installed with no problems.

===================
UNINSTALLATION:
===================
Delete the .dazip and the mod folder located in the addins folder.

====================
Known Issues or Bugs
====================
There should be no conflicts with other mods. If you discover a problem please let me know the armor and the mod in which it conflicts. I can upload a fix.
There are conflicts with TMP’s dwarf/elf/human proportions mods. Wearing only parts of an armor set will cause body distortions. Putting on the entire armor set will solve this and the body will revert back to TMP’s proportions when the armor is removed.
