About this mod

This is a model swap and upgrade of Sigrun's starting equipment. The upgrades are minimal and designed to keep in line with the equipment descriptions.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
There are some nice updates to dwarf female equipment and felt that Sigrun need an update based on this. I felt the medium equipment from Shanamah's incredible Daughters of the Stone mod fitted nicely with Sigrun, as Scout equipment isn't meant to be heavy. As a happy coincident, I also found out the same medium helmet matches especially well with IceBuckets' ported Legionnaire of the Dead equipment he made for Sigrun. As such, I've included alternate armour based on this.

This mod only changes Sigrun's original equipment model number in the UTI to link to the aforementioned mods and to updated weapon models from Entopie's Loincloth Fashion. It does not include any files of the from the original authors and this mod is pointless without first downloading the source material first.

I also updated the stats of Sigrun's starting equipment, as follows:

Scout's Dirk - now gives +3% melee chance and improves critical/backstab damage by 15% (which keeps to the idea of a simple blade, sharp enough for the purpose)
Ancient Dwarven Axe - now gives +2 damage boost, +2 armour penetration, and +4 damage verse darkspawn (again, based on the description itself)
Legionnaire Scout Boots - now gives +15% fire resistant (instead of -15% the original had)

I updated the dagger model based on Dragon Age 2 Dwarven Dagger (Dwarven Dagger | Dragon Age Wiki | Fandom), which uses the Crow model in the original game.

The Axe model is from Loincloth fashion and has a similar, but updated, look as the Dwarven Waraxe.

As it uses base game assets, I didn't include a script as that should be already available.

To install, pick the version you want and drop it into the C:\Users\...\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override. Make sure you have both "Daughters of the Stone" and "Loincloth Fashion" (including Awakening compatibility patch) installed. For the Legion of the Dead version, you also need to install "Sigrun Legionnaire of the Dead".

Ensure there are no files that modify Sigrun's UTC file (search for and delete "gxa000fl_sigrun.utc" from your override folder).

Alternately, for the Legion of the Dead version, you can keep the UTC in IceBuckets mod and only the following UTI's from this mod:

gxa_im_arm_hel_med_leg.uti / gxa_im_wep_mel_axe_sig.uti / gxa_im_wep_mel_dag_sig.uti

You'll get the same look, but keep the stats from IceBucket's mod.

To get equipment stat changes, you need to have this installed before you talk to Colbert in Amaranthine.
