. . Shortly after Queen Aeducan’s death, an injured elf was found in the Frostback Mountains by a hunting party. Half frozen and near death, the elf was brought to the city and nursed to health. In the loneliness of his mourning, the King visited the young elf many times during her recovery. They fell in love. When she found that she was with child and not wanting to jeopardize the King’s position, she ran away into the Deep Roads never to be heard from again. A dwarven merchant, Bodahn Feddic discovered the child in his search for goods in the Deep Roads and adopted him, never knowing his true lineage.
In an obsessive plot to have House Tethras reinstated to the Noble Caste of Orzammar; Bartrand Tethras, the eldest Tethras son and head of the disgraced house, concocted a fanatical scheme involving this dark discovery.
As a high-ranking member of the Dwarven Merchant Guild, Bartrand would use his influence and position to send his servant, Hugin, bearing unique armors to Ferelden in the guise of increased profits for the Guild.
Under Bartrand’s orders, Hugin would travel Ferelden selling the Guild’s wares while covertly making his way to Orzammar. Once in Orzammar, Hugin would approach King Aeducan and reveal the secret that the lyrium-addled dwarf, known as Sandal is actually the King’s bastard son. To keep this silent, the King must restore House Tethras, thus ensuring Bartrand's return.
The “Fashion Bazaar” is base primarily on the mod “Loincloth Fashions” by Entopie as well as resources from “Back to Ferelden” by Sabrine, “Flemeth Robe” by hsli amycus and kronaras, “Assasin Armor and Rapiers” by Petrovich & lautasantenni, “Natural Bodies” by NewByPower, “Amazon Curves” by J1nX aka neojam and the original “Warden Robe” port by LadyofPayne. Without the generosity of these authors, this mod would not have been possible.
Many, many Thanks to the above authors and to the wonderful DA2 authors for their permission to use their creations. Please visit these authors’ sites and leave a comment for their beautiful designs.
I would also like to express my appreciation to:
-Bioware for allowing the port of items between their games.
- Dragon Age Nexus for the wonderful modding platform
-Setiweb for being my touchstone and tester and allowing the use of the beautiful morphs.
-Entopie for being my inspiration and my modding Guru.
-Valerie1972 and theskymoves for their work on the item variation spreadsheet which has saved the last hairs on my head.
This mod contains 100 plus standalone armor sets made from the beautiful retextures found on The DA2 Nexus, as well as a few of my own. Permissions for these retextures were granted 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.
With the limited amount of item variation numbers and the heavy use of the clothing and light armors numbers, I have used the Medium, Heavy and Massive numbers for this mod. Restrictions are removed and the item set bonus will add a -25% fatigue reduction to offset the weight.
The armors are packaged into three (3) .dazips; Medium, Heavy and Massive and will require the console to add each armor set to your inventory. The .dazips can be used together or separately. A list of the scripts is included with each .dazip.
Pictures of the Medium armors will have a red background, Heavy armors will have a yellow background and Massive armors will have a black background. Armor replacements will have a light blue background. Hopefully, this will help in identifying which .dazip has the armor you like.
NOTES:
** 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 and I’m still working on the skin shading.
**A list of item variation and item set numbers is included in the download section for those interested.
**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. I have also included a separate jewelry set (ring, belt & amulet) for those of you who might be interested. It is called “Blue Shadow Accessories”.
