About this mod
Replaces Awakening's visually generic item sets Stormchaser, Lorekeeper, and Trickster with Thedosian Warden Armors (ported from DAI). Includes a couple of fixes. Compatible with IA, OF, and GWoF.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This mod is intended for people who would like to see Thedosian Warden Armors in Awakening to diversify the unique but visually generic armor sets.
It accomplishes three unique things:
Requirements
Thedosian Grey Wardens ➪ fully installed
Thedosian Grey Wardens - Dwarven Expansion ➪ required for models for dwarves
Of Ferelden (Improved Atmosphere) plus Improved Atmosphere ➪ required for headwear models and icons which do not exist in Thedosian
or
Grey Wardens of Ferelden ➪ required for headwear models and icons which do not exist in Thedosian
Compatibility
The mod is compatible with both Of Ferelden (Improved Atmosphere) and Grey Wardens of Ferelden, the latter of which is the outdated version of the former.
It is also compatible with Improved Atmosphere, the most essential mod for Dragon Age Origins to date.
It should be compatible with everything else except those mods that edit the same files as this mod (listed below).
Installation/Uninstallation
Edited original files (which are incompatible with any mod that changes them except those named above)
It accomplishes three unique things:
- Adds the Thedosian Grey Wardens' Armors to the Awakening expansion
without restricting them to a starting armor variant available only to a non-imported or low-level imported player character - Replaces the generic models of three Awakening armor sets (Stormchaser, Lorekeeper, and Trickster*)
which otherwise do not have a unique appearance - Fixes a couple of vanilla bugs (Stormchaser Gauntlets were vulcanic aurum instead of white steel and the Trickster set was not fully rogue-restricted)
and Thedosian bugs which would not permit rune slots on the Trickster's Tunic
Spoiler:
The Awakening item sets were selected through elimination.
The non-import starting Warden sets are already edited by "Of Ferelden (Improved Atmosphere)" and other "Thedosian" mods. Blackblade, Hirol's Defense and Sentinel item sets are already unique.
Legionnaire Scout set is lore-locked (lore being defined by the name of an item and the vanilla design, not the text description, hence why Trickster armor goes, while Legionnaire does not).
Only Lorekeeper remains for the mage, Stormchaser for the warrior, while Trickster and Nimble remain for the rogue version of the Thedosian Warden Armors.
Trickster is more similar in stats to Lorekeeper and Stormchaser, while Nimble is near impossible to acquire and is partially worn by Jerrik Dace in the Golems of Amgarrak, thus a worse candidate.

Installation/Uninstallation
Spoiler:
There are two options within the mod. The requirements are the same regardless of the option.
The first option changes the item stats to that of the Improved Atmosphere mod without making that mod a requirement.
The other option is for keeping the item stats as in the original game.
Extract the mod archive to "C:\Users\[user_name]\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override".
Inside the folder "xThedosian Warden for Awakening [...]" (which has an "x" so it is located below and loads after other mods)
select the desired option (folder):
If you would like to skip on some of the three item sets, you can delete any folder from within at will.
Uninstall by deleting everything you have extracted from this mod. It should be safe uninstall after obtaining the items by reloading the game or by storing them away, leaving the area (through loading screen) and coming back.
