About this mod

Rewrites a bunch of epilogue slides so that they no longer contradict later installments in the series, while also fixing some bugs and adding new slides for a handful of conditions that were overlooked in the vanilla epilogue

Permissions and credits
When the DAO epilogue was written, it's pretty obvious that they weren't banking on a sequel, much less a whole franchise.  At this point, large portions of the original epilogue have been contradicted by later games in the series or describe major shifts in Thedas's status quo that just... somehow never come up even though they definitely would have if they weren't retconned.  The goal of this mod is to rewrite the epilogue slideshow to better reflect the impact of the Warden's actions on the rest of the series.  This mod also incorporates a wide variety of bugfixes (mostly those from Qwinn's DAO Ultimate Fixpack (whose notes were extremely helpful in finding those bugs), but also a handful of weird line links that skipped over some slides under certain conditions).

A full list of changes can be found in the readme under the Docs tab, but some highlights include:
-An explanation of the fate of the autonomous Circle boon
-Slides for male Wardens who romance and/or marry Alistair, female Wardens who romance Morrigan, and female Wardens who marry Anora to keep this compatible with bi mods
-A few vanilla slides that would never appear in regular gameplay have been restored
-Dog gets his own slide like all the other companions if the Warden dies killing the Archdemon
-A new ending for Sten if his personal quest wasn't completed
-Origin-specific boon slides should now play correctly under a wider variety of circumstances
-Entirely too many new slides specific to King Alistair if the Warden dies and/or if he's in an active romance with the Warden at the end of the game

This mod is still kind of in beta- I've tested it with all the saves I have and everything seems to be working as intended, but there's a variety of new slides and bugfixes I wasn't able to test (the bann of the alienage fixes are The Big One, since I don't have a Tabris save anywhere near endgame on-hand [ETA 12/17/2018: It seems like part of the reason the bann slides are bugged in the vanilla game is that the flag isn't set properly in the post-coronation dialogue file.  They won't play correctly with just this mod installed, but should play correctly if the epilogue_postcoronation.dlg file from any mod that fixes the bugs with the bann slides (such as Morrigan Restoration Patch) is installed.  Thanks to Sokemis for helping me figure this out!]).  If you're using this mod and notice anything weird (slides not playing when you're pretty sure they should and vice versa, any Warden misgendering, random typos I might have missed in my last readthrough, etc.), I'd really appreciate it if you'd drop me a comment or a message about it!  There's one or two bugs detailed in the readme that I think are beyond the scope of this mod, but I'd like to get it as close to perfect as possible.  Enjoy!
