- Permissions and credits
for the Broscas who loved their sister and, somehow, their mother.
Adds lore-friendly, roleplay-heavy accessories to the origins, so that your Warden can have something of home and family to hold on to.
And perhaps someday, you might feel close enough to your companions to entrust them with your cherished keepsakes...
Dear roleplayers, this mod is for you.
COUSLAND Wardens will receive two rings.
BROSCA Wardens will receive a necklace and a ring.
----------
REQUIREMENTS
----------
- A newly started game!
If you want to receive the items in a lore-friendly manner, your game must be newly started. This will not work by loading an autosave because the the .utc and .utp files are loaded upon entering an area for the first time.
----------
CONFLICTS
----------
Anything that modifies:
bhn100cr_mother.utc (Teyrna Eleanor)
bdc210ip_player_chest.utp (chest in the Brosca origin)
I'm sorry! I know there is a clever, PCRSCR way to get the items to the player properly, without overriding utcs and utps, but unfortunately I just cannot get it to work. I made all the scripts, plot files, and GDAs, and if I type runscript it works, but for the life of me the script will not run automatically even if I enter the area where the GDA is supposed to run. So this is what we have.
----------
INSTALLATION
----------
Drop files into your override folder, usually Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override.
For COUSLAND, there will be Vanilla and Ferelden Pack folders in Origin Keepsakes\Cousrings.
If you are using Ferelden Pack NPC Replacer for Teyrna Eleanor, DELETE THE VANILLA FOLDER.
If you are not using the Ferelden Pack NPC Replacer for Teyrna Eleanor, DELETE THE FERELDEN PACK FOLDER.
You can choose to install just Brosca, just Cousland, or both Brosca and Cousland (just pick the folders) BUT DO NOT DELETE ITEM_SETS.GDA! That is what gives the items their set bonuses.
----------
UNINSTALLATION
----------
Delete the OriginKeepsakes folder.
----------
CREDITS
----------
This mod would not have been created without the generous help of BlickJustice, who patiently guided me through the creation of this mod. Without Blick, these items would not have their nifty set bonuses. Blick also attempted to teach me how to PCRSCR, but alas, I am a dumdum who couldn't figure it out, so in the end, I simply modified some inventory etc. I'm very sorry, and thank you for everything!
I also owe the Cleveland Museum of Art for the icons, as I modified their free-to-use pictures.
----------
EXTRA NOTES
----------
CousRings is compatible with Skip Ostagar mod.
It would make me extremely happy if you roleplayed giving these precious items to your love interest/closest friend in the party. Or, if your warden doesn't care about these items, roleplay tossing them aside!
I have an Amell and Surana set, but there's no nearby unique chest that can be replaced. Might release it if you all are okay with just typing runscript give_mageset or something like that. Of course, if anyone is better at scripting than me, and would want to script giving the items properly, then absolutely feel free to do so and message me about adding it to the files! That would be amazing.
In the future, I might do a Tabris set. Not so sure about Aeducan, and anything I could possibly do for Mahariel would be eclipsed by Gewitterwolke's Origin Mementos - Dalish Elf.
