DLCs:

- The Exiled Prince: added the twilight belt as a reward for completing Sebastian's personnal quest "Repentance".
- Mark of the Assassin : if Merrill is in the party, the amulet "Blood of Val Foret" will be lootable from the corpse of the first rune golem you kill in The Vaults.
- Legacy: the ring "The Skylark's Golden Ring" is lootable again from Janeka's corpse.
- Legacy: the ring "The Skylark's Golden Ring" is lootable again from Larius' corpse.
- Legacy: added the shield "Wardens' Secret" to the items dropped by Gerav.
- Legacy: added the belt "Buckled Cinch of the Imperium" to the items dropped by Corypheus.
- Legacy: restored a note/codex entry (available in all languages) that acts, more or less, as a link to Inquisition.
The note will appear on the desk in Hawke's bedroom after having played Legacy. It will have additional content if you brought Anders along and if your sibling is a warden.  It will only be available if you play the DLC before the quest "best served cold" (act 3) because Samson -who is referred to in Hawke's diary- will disappear afterwards. If you play Legacy during act 1, you'll get the note in act 2 when you enter the estate for the first time, as Hawke didn't kept a diary while living in Gamlen's house.



Installation
Pick and unzip the files you need, then drop the extracted folder(s) into your override directory (C:\...\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
The mod can be installed at any time but it'll work better with a new game, as some items might not be delivered otherwise.

Un-installation

Remove the folder(s) from your override directory.
