About this mod

Because Gorim's starting STR is only 16, he cannot re-equip his Red Steel sword, should it be removed for some reason. I've changed the material from T5 Red Steel to T3 Steel, which only requires 15 STR, as well as making the sword scale to the player's level.

Dragon Age: Origins

=================
Description & Details:
=================

Because Gorim's autoleveled starting STR is only 16 (and a maximum of 20, if not autoleveled and all points are put into STR), he cannot re-equip his Red Steel sword, should it be removed for some reason. (The STR requirement for equipping Red Steel equipment is 25.)

I've changed the material from T5 Red Steel to T3 Steel, which only requires 15 STR. I've also changed the material scaling to Weapon, All Metal, so if the player purchases the sword from Gorim in Denerim, it will be scaled to the  player's level.

Whatever the tier/material when acquired, the sword can subsequently be upgraded to T7 Dragonbone, via the usual means.

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

Place the tsm_gorim_sword_fix folder in the game's manual override directory ([user]\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).

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

Delete the tsm_gorim_sword_fix folder.

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

Sometimes the sword will spawn in Gorim's initial inventory as T1 Grey Iron, instead of Steel as intended. Stupid Dragon Age...

Must be installed before starting a new game for the change to affect Gorim's starting equipment.

Will conflcit with any other mod editing gen_im_wep_mel_lsw_gor.uti.

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

If the sword has already been obtained (either by recruiting Gorim or buying the sword from him in Denerim), a replacement with my edits can be obtained via your preferred developer console method.

Note that I am, in fact, aware of the fact that there are other 'fix packs' which address this bug; this fix is standalone, differs in that the sword can be scaled to the player's level, and is offered for users who may not want any other changes to their game.
