New weapons and shields for the true Grey Wardens!

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
OVERVIEW
The Grey Wardens already had great armor from Dragon Age: Inquisition, but no weapons, so I decided to correct this injustice.
The mod adds 7 weapons and 3 shields for the true Grey Wardens. All weapon models are ported from Dragon Age: Inquisition. The shield models are a mashup of the retextured vanilla DAO shields and the griffin figure from the Grey Warden DAI heavy shield.

Currently available items:
  • Dagger 
  • Longsword 
  • Greatsword
  • Mace
  • Battleaxe
  • Longbow
  • Staff
  • Kite shield
  • Buckler
  • Heavy shield (added in v1.2)
How to get items:
  • Use the console command runscript get_twa_wep to get all weapons.
  • Use the console command runscript get_twa_shd to get all shields.
  • If you install the TWA Store Scripts option, all weapons and shields will be added to Michael's store in the Warden's Keep DLC, and to Herren's store in Awakening. Michael and Herren will also sell items from the Thedosian Grey Wardens mod if you have that mod installed.
Weapon and shield materials can be upgraded by selling and buying back the item from a merchant or by using some mods.
Weapon materials: Steel/Silverite
Shield/bow materials: Yew Wood/All Wood

This mod is available in English and Russian.
Мод доступен на английском и русском языках.


INSTALLATION
Main file:
  • Download and extract the main archive using 7-zip archiver.
  • Install the extracted dazip file with DAUpdater or DAO-Modmanager.

Optional files:

TWA New Equipment
Changes the equipment of the Warden NPCs (except Riordan and Sophia Dryden) to a new one with scripts.
Requires the Thedosian Grey Wardens and Thedosian Wardens Arsenal mods.
Overwrites the ltm200cr_utha.utc file because the script didn't change Utha's equipment for some reason.

  • Download and extract the archive using 7-zip archiver.
  • OPEN the TWA New Equipment folder.
  • Move the TWA Equipment folder to your override folder change the equipment of the Warden NPCs in Origins, Awakening, and the Warden's Keep DLC.
  • If you want to change Alistair's equipment, OPEN the Alistair folder. Choose only one folder (check out the comparison screenshot) and move it to your override folder (...Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).

All folders in the TWA Equipment folder are standalone, which means that you can delete any of them without any consequence.
The equipment scripts use the PRCSCR system, so you don't have to load saves before visiting areas with the Warden NPCs to change their equipment.

TWA Store Scripts
Adds items from the Thedosian Wardens Arsenal and Thedosian Grey Wardens mods to merchants.
  • Download and extract the archive using 7-zip archiver.
  • Move the TWA Store Scripts folder to your override folder (...Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
TWA Darker Metal
Makes metal weapon and shield elements darker and shinier.
  • Download and extract the archive using 7-zip archiver.
  • Move the TWA Darker Metal folder to your override folder (...Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
TWA Rescaled Weapons (added in v1.2)
Reduces size of all weapon meshes.
  • Download and extract the archive using 7-zip archiver.
  • Move the TWA Rescaled Weapons folder to your override folder (...Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
TWA Starfang Replacer (added in v1.2)
Replaces the Starfang mesh with a new one (including longsword and greatsword meshes). Does not require any mods, but does require the Warden's Keep DLC.
  • Download and extract the archive using 7-zip archiver.
  • Choose only one folder and move it to your override folder (...Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).

UNINSTALLATION
Main file:
To uninstall the mod I recommend using DAO-Modmanager.

Optional files:
Just delete the installed before folder(s) from your "override" folder.
