Requirements:

Dragon Age: Origins

=================
Description:
=================

Replaces the heavy helmet worn by the Ostagar Tower Guard temporary companion with a medium helmet, to accommodate his insufficient strength to equip the former.

=================
Details:
=================

The 'Tower Guard' temporary companion is equipped with the 'Soldier's Helm', a heavy helmet with a Tier 2 Strength requirement of 20. When the NPC is autolevelled, however, he joins the party with only 18 STR; if the helmet is unequipped for any reason, he cannot re-equip it.

By request, I've swapped the Soldier's Helm for the medium 'Helmet', which only has a T2 Strength requirement of 16.

=================
To Install:
=================

Place the tsm_better_tower_guard folder in the game's manual override directory, i.e. [user]\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override.

=================
To Uninstall:
=================

Delete the tsm_better_tower_guard folder.

=================
Known Issues:
=================

Must be installed prior to entering the King's Camp at Ostagar.

=================
Notes and blather:
=================

The Tower Guard is the same NPC the Warden can speak to at the barred gates to the Tower of Ishal area, so he will look different in that earlier encounter as well.
