About this mod

Spawns Tamlen during the camp ambush for Wardens of all origins and lets non-Dalish Wardens have a brief conversation with him

Permissions and credits
I know the Dalish origin gets plenty of shoutouts later in the series, but I always thought it was weird that it was the only origin where you couldn't meet any of the characters with a Warden from a different origin in the base game. Since everyone can get the camp ambush, it felt like a good place to insert a little something. This mod:

*Changes the condition for Tamlen's appearance at the camp ambush from the Warden being Dalish to Alistair being a current companion

*Adds an alternative (shorter) version of the conversation with Tamlen for non-Dalish Wardens, since they wouldn't know who he is

*Restores some of the bugged companion comments during the first part of Tamlen's dialogue- Dalish Wardens will get a comment from Alistair, followed by one from Morrigan, Oghren, or Wynne assuming one of them is in the party. Non-Dalish Wardens will only get a comment from Oghren or Wynne since literally everyone else references the Warden knowing Tamlen dklfjgdfklgjfdkg (Qwinn's Fixpack also restores the dialogue for Dalish Wardens, so you don't have to choose between that bugfix and this)

Just unzip the file into your override folder to install!

I tied Tamlen's appearance to Alistair being a party member since that was the closest thing to an always true condition that I could think of. I'm not even sure if it's possible to trigger the camp ambush if he left the party during the Landsmeet, since his dialogue seems pretty important for the flow of the whole sequence. Still, just in case, if you're installing this mod (regardless of origin), please make sure you trigger the ambush before the Landsmeet if you're planning on trading him out! This mod will also conflict with Tinimaus's Killing Tamlen (and possibly any other mods that change how the camp ambush is scripted), and isn't meant to be used with mods like Karmas Origins Companions.

The robe Morrigan is wearing in her screenshot is from Practical Morrigan Robe by magpiedragon, and Tamlen's armor is from hoarous's Retcon Light Armor Texture Rehaul. Additionally, the ghoul Tamlen headmorph in his screenshot is something I made myself a while ago and just never uploaded since I haven't looked at the other headmorphs from that batch of modding in-game yet. Uhhh, maybe someday soon? In the meantime, hope you enjoy!
