Good afternoon. I installed "Honest Anora", which changed the dialogue as it said in the description and she also appears with a dress which is not the pretty black one that appears in your photos. In her place she appears to me with her "default" dress.
From what I was able to read the mod, what this does is put the dress that Anora has in her UTC or something like that. Can someone give me a hand so that the dress is the same as in the reference images?
To be honest, realistically it would take her much more time to haul that heavy armor all the way to Eamon's estate than to simply take five minutes to change out of it. She's not a soldier.
I suppose this is fair. I have to admit I have no clue how difficult it would be for an untrained person to move in a metal breastplate. I also considered maybe Anora needs to stay disguised as she walks through Denerim to Arl Eamon's. The helmet especially would help if Loghain had more soldiers out looking for her. Plus, Anora's hair seems like it would not be kept easily under a helmet which lends to the effect that Anora had to stop in her room and doll up before telling Eamon the Warden's been captured. Another funny mental image is imagining the Queen of Ferelden stripping down to her small clothes in a back alley somewhere while our companions try and give her privacy.
There's also the more immersion breaking detail of the party automatically changing out of guard armor (instantly before combat no less) and into their regular armor the moment they are discovered. Maybe due to the magic videogame inventory system this world seems to operate on Anora was also able to instantly change out of her armor to the robes she had in her bag of holding.
I think one of the bigger mysteries is why Anora even has access to the guard armor at all. Was there a set that fit her (I forgot, all armor is one size fit all) just lying around in that closet she was locked in? Did she kill a guard? It's confusing to me that they put her in this armor at all considering you walk 10 feet before getting caught and the rest of the party is already forced out of their matching armor set at this point.
I think I'll make a version that gets rid of Anora's guard armor completely. The more I think about it the less this scene makes any sense to me. Seems like there was either more gameplay between recruiting Anora and getting captured at one point or BioWare REALLY wanted to make a Star Wars reference. Cauthrien even lets Anora go with the rest of the party so I'm really confused why she's even locked up in the first place.
I don't necessarily think so. It's not like carrying weights; the weight is spread all across her body and shouldn't impede her movement much at all. I don't think it'd make much of a difference, much less five minutes of difference. Although I did just realize, she might've required some help putting those plates on, like the pauldrons. Wonder who did that, or if she's just got the patience to do it herself.
That's not to say you shouldn't use the takes-off-armor plugin of course, I just don't think travel time is the particular reason she'd change.
Haha... are you so pissed off by last episodes VII-IX (as I really am) that you do not want to hear any reference to Star Wars anymore? :) I know, it is really hard after Disney ruined everything, but I'll go for Urgent Anora, I keep the reference. Star Wars IV-VI forever love!
Nitpicky mods are my favorite kinds of mods! I remember feeling the exact same way about Anora changing when I first did Rescue the Queen, so thank you for fixing the problem! :D
I felt like it was some sort of trap and was waiting to be captured again. I was thinking we should just leave her and was wishing to do just that. In fact, in my next play through I wanted to see what would happen if I did but did not have the courage to go through with it. LOL.

My mod simply puts Anora into her dress that she wears in the rest of the game.
