About this mod

This mod was inspired by a Tal-Vashoth variety mod by Harkseth, but using Qunari Update. The mod gives equipment and adds new equipment inspired by the later games to give all qunari a unique appearance and names. I tried to keep it as lore friendly as possible.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod using Qunari update by TMP7704, Loincloth Fashion by entopie, and Kirkwall Export by amycus to give all qunari unique appearance.

Version 1.1 -

Added optional update for only model swap of the qunari weapons found in Origins to DA2 models; this only requires LCF. Optionally, also included new qunari items but will require manually placing them on the qunari NPCs yourself. This for those who don't want to use qunari update by TMP7704.

Also, realised I forgot the qunari war armor in the main folder, I've updated the main file and added the war plate as an update download.

Version 1.2 -

Adds a modified UTI for Stonehammer Set to be more balanced. Entopie stated in their mod "I don't know anything about stats, so the stats were borrowed/adapted either from DA2 armors/items or from DAO armors/items. If you do not like the stats etc. you can easily remove and/or change them by using The Winter Forge by Phaenan." As such, I'm sharing my change to the Stonehammer Armour material/stats, as Harkseth pointed out they make the NPCs extremely challenging on the higher difficulties. This is included in the optional download section. The new version is as follows:

Material = Red Steel

Full Set Bonus
Strength +2
Constitution +2
Armour Bonus +2
Melee Critical Chance +3%
Attack +4
Health +20

Set Bonus
Constitution +3
Damage +3

Version 1.3 -

Fixes an issue with the Qunari paint in Faryn''s store so it no longer turns up invisible and updated the stats slightly. This was originally from TMP7704 mod.

Version 1.4 -

Adds a replacement erf file for qunari update by TMP7704. This is to remove the ability to purchase qunari body vitaar from Faryn. Vitaar is supposed to be applied ritualistically, so I don't think it makes sense you can buy it from a human. I also removed the UTCs as they are no longer required. All the other files were created by TMP7704, so full credit to them. Inside is the read me, please read carefully as the erf file doesn't go into the normal location.

What this does:

a. Changes qunari weapons to DA2 versions and updates descriptions if necessary.
b. Improved Asala and gives option for using DA2 model.
c. Improves stats of select qunari weapons.
d. Adds new qunari only equipment for qunari NPCs in game.
e. Changes names of various qunari NPCs (using vashoth, tal-vashoth, Kadan-Fe, qunari rank)
f. Outfits the qunari NPCs with a wider variety of equipment: Heavy Plate Armor, Vitaar Chest, No Clothing (why Qunari update is necessary), Stonebearer's Armor (the Kadan-Fe found around Denerim), War Plate (Champion Warrior Model) for Karashok and the tal-vashoth mercenary leader in Awakening.

Note 1: If you are using Qunari update and Dall's Weapon Rescale, I would suggest deleting the rescale for the Qunari greatsword (everything with gs05 in the greatsword folder) and m02a from the Maul folder.

Note 2: There are other mods that update Asala (Better Asala at Dragon Age: Origins - mods and community (nexusmods.com) & Asala Overhaul - DA2-style at Dragon Age: Origins - mods and community (nexusmods.com)) in case users don't want the changes to Asala in this mod.

Installation

Place in your override folder (?:\Users\...\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override). Will conflict with any mod that changes qunari equipment and NPCs UTC.
