Wow! I hit 1K endorsements!!! Ma serannas. Thank you, beautiful people, for downloading and endorsing my mod! ♥ Mod Installation/Play Info This mod must be installed before you return to camp and experience this part of the main storyline. Once a map is loaded, it's baked into your save file. So, any existing save file must be from before you fast-travel back to camp and encounter Tamlen, or else it won't play out as intended.
Prefer Zevran over Alistair? By request, there is an alternate version where Zevran, instead of Alistair, comforts your Warden in the second scene. Install one version. You cannot have both the original and Zevran versions installed at once.
Playing as a male elf? There are no mods needed to use my romance mods for Tamlen. However, if you want to unlock the original, vanilla romance and dialogue flag for Tamlen, you will need a mod. My mod Be More Elfy-Dalish Dialogue Overhaul unlocks the romance dialogue for male elves at the beginning of the origin.
Using the Ser Gilmore companion mod? Ser Gilmore will be present in the scenes with the other companions if you use it.
For DLC compatibility: If the rings from this mod and "Kissing Tamlen" do not carry over into Awakening or other DLC, please download the optional files from each mod page so you can add them via console command.

Origin Mementos - Dalish Elf by Gewitterwolke If you have this mod installed, you will have to download my optional file "Dialogue Override Files" Unzip it, and put the folder into: \Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\packages\core\override
Doing that should allow you to have both mods installed. If this does not work for you, please let me know. However, you will not receive the amulet you eceive with Gewitterwolke's mod because it too is triggered by the dialogue you have with Alistair and my files will have to override theirs. I can't make a patch to add both without permission from that mod's author, which I do not have.

Tamlen will not show up properly as a spirit in the designated scenes where he's supposed to be one.
My mod will still work but it'll look odd and not as intended.
NOTE: This does not affect the edited party camp map with the Improved Atmosphere mod. An entirely different camp map was used for this event. If you like using the IA camp map, deleting the above files to use this mod will not affect your normal IA camp map.
i love your work and especially when i'm playing as a dalish elf, your mods are essential for my playthrough, you really put emotions through it and i appreciate your efforts!<3
i'd like to ask, been playing with dalish mage mod, is it possible that tamlen scene doesn't show up because of that? maybe game recognized it as a circle mage :(
i know that encounter occures only for dalish warden. i've done all the treaties, currently on rescue the queen quest and still nothing
As for your question, I'm not sure. As far as the Dalish Mage mod goes it's not supposed to have game breaking issues like that (according to the description page) but it's hard to say. Do you have any other mods that make big gameplay changes? There are multiple plot flags that must be met for that scene to trigger. It wouldn't be solely based on your origin.
Just came across the encounter ingame and it made me tear up so bad. Thank you so much for all your amazing mods that add so much depth and emotion into this game. I haven't felt this emotional over my dragon age playthrough since I first played <3
I went back to origins after playing Veilguard and was trying out a few new mods after not playing it for years. I'm so thankful for finding this one. I wasn't crying that much since Trespasser holyyy molyyy. You did a phenomenal job, it is definitely my canon warden history now. I'm also using your other mods 'cause I've always been Elfy. Looking forward to any new mods you make, if not, just wanted to thank you wholeheartedly for the experience and hard work you've put into this. Wsh you all the best 💜💜
Well, I am actually trying to release a new mod right now for Zevran. I do have another Dalish elf origin cutscene mod that's half finished, but I have yet to script it into the game properly, it's been a pain. Origins is old, but I love making stuff for it.
This made me cry. My Mahariel always romances Tamlen, he's his first love, and he's been hating himself all game over what happened. The funeral scene is genuinely heartbreaking, although I do wish Morrigan would be there, but unless she's at the Adore or Love stage it wouldn't make much sense as she doesn't become loving and caring before that.
Still, such an amazing mod 6 years later. Works perfectly fine for a Male Mahariel, the scenes even line up perfectly.
I meant to reply to this back in December. Thanks for your kind words! Yes, it should work fine for males as I created separate scenes for male and female Mahariels.
Also, I still have my original files and could create a Morrigan "comfort" version if there is enough interest. When I originally made this, I think I didn't even add Morrigan to the burial scene as a bystander because I felt like she wouldn't be there unless you romanced her.
Hi! Love your mods, they're so fun for immersion. I was curious if you were ever curious/planning this mod with Morrigan and/or Leliana comforting Mahariel.
I did Zevran because someone requested it. No one ever requested Leliana or Morrigan for this mod (not that I can remember). So, no I never planned to. I'd have to check if my files for this mod were still completely intact in my toolset. Stuff sometimes gets lost when you change computers and port everything over.
I have to wonder, though, because I've never romanced Morrigan... would a scene like that even be characteristic of her romance or personality?
It’s ok, I’m glad you’re still maintaining these mods at all.
I find it particularly a bit sad, that we can’t have a Dalish get married to Zevran. Still his mother is also Dalish, so i would not find it entirely impossible if he’d fall in love with one of them and even marry them .
I have thought about creating my own version of a Dalish wedding for Zevran before. He's become my favorite love interest for my elven Wardens. It's possible, yes.
Please do. I almost finished my first play through and romance Alistair this time. I like Alistiar, he's very entertaining. But his ending options seem all kinda tainted, if you know what i mean.
But while talking to all companions to get all of their quests, i also came to like Zevran. My City elf is best friends with him. I like his devil-may-care attitude, so wonderfully undramatic and also funny at times. So i decided to play an elven tower mage next time and romance him. See what he's like as a love interest. :D
Fot the Dalish i will wait and see if you have your new Zevran mods done until then. I would love a Wedding mod that lets Dalish elves marry him, too. :)
I had to leave a comment for that one. This mod is way too sweet and well done. I didn't except something like this, it felt like it was part of the game, I mean, now I wonder why they didn't do something like that, it feels so right. Thank you so much for it.
Btw, to anyone playing in another language than English: it works perfectly fine. Like many mods using game voices, there will be English voices but it won't change anything else in the game so no worries.
Thank you so much! My fav compliment is when someone says my scenes seem like they were a part of the vanilla gameplay. Immersion is always my goal for any cutscene I create <3
Also, thank you for the info about playing in another language.
I don't even know where to start -- I absolutely LOVE your Tamlen mods (and to be honest, all of your mods ) They are amazingly done, intense and beautiful -- I feel everytime like I'm dragged there in. Your work is on the Dragon Age level if that makes sense.
It has been years now. I don't know why I didn't comment before Just so you know -- I can't have a playthrough with your all of your Tamlen mods
Wow! This was very encouraging to see and read this morning as I want to work on my mods but have been lacking inspiration. Thank you so much for your kind words!
This mod is one of the reasons why I keep returning to DA:O. These cutscenes feel so natural and emotionaly heavy, that I don't accept they are not part of the vanilla game. Great work, you really captured bittersweet aura of Origins. Must have mod for Dalish playthroughs.
Also, kudos for both male and female option. My gay little heart is happy.
Thank you so much! That's such high praise to receive as I don't see my mods to be any near the professional work of a game developer like Bioware. I'm sorry for such a late reply!
