About this mod

This mod adds 9 new party members and possibly more at a later time.

Permissions and credits
This mod adds 9 new party members.
This mod adds a new location to the world map beside the party camp to recruit new party members.
In the area for these party members, there will be 4 exits traveling to 4 main city areas.
I thought this would be nice instead of the world map for this recruiting area.

Here is a list of the party members that can be obtained.

Andrastalla will be a Succubus Demon Mage.
Troga will be a Hurlock Darkspawn Warrior.
Lady Of The Forest will be a Mage.
Duncan, of the Grey Wardens, will be a Warrior.
King Cailan will be a Warrior.
Anora will be a Mage.
Rikku will be a female Elf Templar.

Here is some detail about these characters and this mod. Andrastalla will be a Mage because the Succubus character cannot physically weild weapons nor armor so being a Mage was the only reasonable option. Troga will be a Warrior and can wield all weapons properly. Lady Of The Forest will be a Mage because I really didn't want her as a wolf and she doesn't have the appearance of a Warrior. Duncan will be a Warrior since that is what he is supposed to be and the same for King Cailan. Anora will be a Mage because she doesn't appeal as a Warrior or Rogue and she was added via request to be a Mage.

Rikku will be a very unique character for this game because I have not seen a female Elf Templar in this game so this should be interesting for those that like Templars and Elves. She will start with reasonably low level Templar armor but the chest she is guarding will contain high level Templar armor, slightly better than the Knight Commanders Templar armor but also comes with a strength requirement of 42.

Some things to know about this mod, Duncan will not be wearing his armor because I chose not to use his NPC body because then only his armor would show up regardless of what is equipped. I chose it this way because there is a very simple and easy way to have him be able to wear his armor but also this gives the player the option to equip him with other armor and be able to see it visually. There is a mod created by a user at Dragon Age Nexus, user akgyi that adds 3 variations of Duncan's armor to the game and it shows up automatically in your inventory. Since that mod is not mine and I saw no point in creating my own since that one was done well, the link for Duncan's armor is below.

One of King Cailan's weapons, a great sword will be automatically added to your inventory but likely will not be equippable until the character you want to use it with can meet the strength requirements, the greatsword is Yusaris. King Cailan comes with the default version of his Chevalier armor. You can get his actual armor in the DLC Return To Ostogar and Duncan's actual weapons can be obtained from the same DLC. I would have added this but it would simply take more time than it's worth especially since this armor can be easily obtained from the DLC it's found in.

This mod will be available the first time you can access the world map. I decided to add these party members this early in the game so that the party members can be leveled up exactly the way you want them to be, as this is better overall rather than me creating presets for the auto leveling before a particular party member joins. If you want the new party members to start as if they have not leveled at all, which will give you the ability to level them up exactly how you want, you can download a mod from anakin55 at Dragon Age Nexus from the link below.

Known Issues:
Andrastalla has no skill tree and cannot use health poultices nor lyrium potions. I am unsure why but when I resolve this, it will be added in a future update.
Troga has no real issues except that armor does not show up on him visually but the armor works correctly otherwise.
Lady Of The Forest has one minor issue. Weapons do not show up on her back and when a battle starts, she pulls weapons out of nowhere and after the battle she does not put them away but otherwise everything works correctly for her.

These are the only issues I have noticed and most of them are not very important but I do intend to correct them when I find out what went wrong and if they can be corrected. If there are any questions or issues, feel free to address them in this forum and either myself or someone else knowledge of this will be able to help.
