About this mod
Two options to improve Sten's sword, Asala, so it'll still be useful later in the game. The first makes it upgradeable from all the way to Tier 7 Dragonbone, the second changes the material to fixed Tier 6 Silverite.
- Permissions and credits
There are two options for this mod. Only download and install one.
- The first lets Asala upgrade all the way to Tier 7 Dragonbone. The material it is when you get it will depend on your level.
- The second changes Asala's material to Tier 6 Silverite. This version does not upgrade: the justification was that the general color scheme of Tier 6 is silver and blue, so I decided that "rare blue steel" could be interpreted as Sten's way of referring to silverite.
Installation
Download either the Upgradeable or Silverite versions of the mod, then unzip the folder and place it in your override folder (usually found at Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override). You can only use one version at a time.
Compatibility
If you have any other mods that modify gen_im_wep_mel_gsw_stn.uti, you'll need to delete that file from those mods if you want to use this one.
Important Note
If you've already gotten Asala the weapon (not the gift), then this mod will make no difference in the existing sword. In order to get Better Asala, you'll need to use the console to add a new copy of the sword to your inventory. Download the AddItem With Console Improved mod and enable the console on your game. If you have Better Asala - Upgradeable you can use the additemwmat command to specify a material higher than steel. You can safely sell or destroy the old sword.
If you've already gotten Asala with this mod installed but want to go back to the default steel Asala, you'll need to uninstall the mod and then use the console to create a new version of the sword.
Mods Shown in My Screenshots
Asala is so big in my screenshots because I'm using tmp7704's Rescaled Swords. The colors are from Loc_n_lol's Alternative Arms and Armor Tints.
