According to the report, this mod might be incompatible with any talent mods that change the animations the talents should cast. See Bug section below.

Notifications on first:

This is not a mod that tweaks your characters, classes, talents, spells, and even animations themselves. It just allows you to cast all the animations that any usable spells and talents should cast without checking your character's wielding style.

If you want to add new talents and spells to your characters, you have two ways to go:

1. Manually adding new abilities or new talent trees: Select a character, then open the console, type "runscript addtalent xxxxxx"(replace xxxxxx with correct talent ID or talent tree ID), and you can see your selected character's new ability on the first quick slot, or you can check his/her new talent tree on main menu.

You can find the talent IDs and talent tree IDs on wiki: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Console_(Dragon_Age_II)

2. Using multi-class mods or any mods that tweak character's talents or spells, or even add new talents and spells to your character. You can find them on any DA2 mod website like nexusmods.

With this mod, modders can create new abilities without the limitation of using animation, and those players who are favored in multiclass will no longer facing any problems like no VFX, no animation, no ability effects while casting talents/spells that don't belong to the character's current class before. That means you can create a real Arcane Warrior!

• How does it work? -
• I spent long time extracting and analyzing the files with hashed names to find out and categorize the .anb file designated in combat_style.gda, then add all the missing animations to every weapon .anb files, which can be found in other files.

• What can it do? -
• Now you can use any talents or skills while using any kind of weapons, like using Fireball while dual-wielding, or using Evade while equipping 2H weapon. The two abilities I mentioned above couldn't be correctly executed by original game because the .anb files corresponding to the weapons do not contain these animations.

Due to some the animations point to one ability can be different because of the weapon (like Vendetta and Assassinate), I choose the animations by my favor. Like Assassinate, equipping 1H and shield will cast the original dual-wield version animation while equipping 2H or staff will cas
