Gives a lot of options to customize the exaggerated intro at the very beginning of the game. This includes things like Templar Carver and Warden Bethany. You can choose to have Hawke and/or your sibling to be helmeted, which is very useful if you plan on using a different face for your Hawke other than the default or if you plan on using a different skin color than the default face uses, etc.
You can also choose to replace your sibling with a different character, like Merrill, Aveline, Meredith and more. They won't speak during the prologue but they will fight with you.

See the end of this description for the lists of options. Also look at the screenshots to get more of an idea.

Wondering how to get your custom Hawke's face to show up in the prologue? Use this by NewByPower (1.20 version) and name your .mor file hm_iconicmale.mor (for male hawke) or hf_iconicfemale.mor for female Hawke.

-----

HOW TO INSTALL: Choose either "Siblings Only" or "Non-Sibling Characters Only" in the main file section for this mod. "Siblings Only" means you choose gear changes for Bethany/Carver and Hawke. "Non-Sibling Characters Only" means you choose replacements for your siblings (like Fenris, Anders, etc) and also gear changes for Hawke.

If you don't want to change how your sibling looks and just Hawke instead, just choose "Siblings Only" and just choose from Warrior/Rogue/Mage Hawke folders (you can choose one from each).

With both versions, if you want you can elect not to change Hawke's gear. Don't use "Non-Sibling Characters Only" if you don't want to replace your sibling with different characters.

Do NOT use both "Siblings Only" and "Non-Sibling Characters Only" at the same time or you're going to get weird results. Unzip your choice and read the folder names, it should be straight forward on how to install from there. Like always, you put the .erf files in the Override folder.

If want to change the weapon Hawke uses in the prologue, download Hawke Weapons Options in the optional file section of this mod and just choose from the Warrior/Rogue/Mage Hawke folders (you can choose one from each). There are screenshots in there to refresh your memory.

HOW TO UNINSTALL: Remove the files you put in the Override folder.
