Version 1.0
by ChiZ

This mod adds a somewhat bland NPC merchant to your Camp that will appear the next time the area is loaded. The merchant sells a set of Massive Armor with its own set bonus script, story, and custom textures.

Alternately, there is a version that adds the set to Bodahn's merchant inventory if you have other mods that add NPCs, or external areas to the camp. Readme for that version is included in the .rar.

Important! - Only use one version of the mod. Installing both may result in horrible conflicts with itself.

There are also two optional files available.
One for changing the electricity resistance and damage into spirit resistance/damage, and one that will replace the appearance of existing templar armors with the that of the Orator set. Both are compatible with the Main File.

The set was originally created without a helmet in mind, but I thought it would feel lazy to release it without one. If you don't like the look of it, I highly recommend the No Helmet Hack (http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=202).

If there are any problems with the mod, or any suggestions for changes, please let me know either through the comments, or message me through the Nexus.

I'd love to see screenshots of the armor on your characters! So feel free to upload them in the user images section.



1.0 - Initial release.



Install it with DAupdater by following the steps below:

1. Unzip the .rar archive to a location you will remember.
2. Open the program daupdater.exe, which is in your Dragon Age\bin_ship folder.
3. Click "Select DAZIPs" and locate the "Orator_Vestments.dazip" file or simply drag and drop the file into the dauptater window.
4. Select the dazip from the list and then press "Install Selected."
5. Launch the game and head to your party Camp, where the NPC merchant will spawn. After a brief conversation, she will offer to sell you the armor. If your last save is in the party camp, she may not spawn when you load. Simply travel to another area, and back to the camp, and she should appear.



To uninstall, delete the "Orator_Vestments" folder from your AddIns folder.

In Windows XP it would be located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\AddIns

In Windows Vista/7:
