General Information
Right now, new origins don't add new dialogs or open new paths, but allow to play as a different character from the story you already know. These are new character from the perspective of the game meaning they won't take the place with their original ones already on the field (or be acknoledged, probably, hopefully) and this is intentional to avoid progression breaking bug. For the future we will see what happens so you can give Alfira the redemption she deserves as the origin bard we all deserved to have a choice about.
Hirelings are functional and they are additions instead of replacers unlike current mods available. They work as intended from the point of getting hired to battle and they can be dismissed from the party to the camp or completely dismissed.
All NPCs, and races added by me are able to be dressed as you wish, or use appearance editors on them.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 498 endorsements and 74k downloads.
- Expands character creation with new origins and gear sets.
- Adds hireling options, giving you more ways to build your party.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2024 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Requires manual installation or mod manager setup, but no guidance is given.
For players who want more variety in character origins and party hirelings, plus extra gear to loot. If you're into min-maxing or role-playing, this adds more options. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla origins and hirelings.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it's a simple drop-in or needs a mod manager.
- Since it adds gear sets, you might need to start a new game or use console commands to spawn them.
- If you're using other gameplay mods, test for conflicts by loading the game after installation.
