📋 About This Mod
- *This is a Reupload of Aegrus's Amazing Dragon Age 2 Ultimate HD Mod. (Which was unfortunately deleted by the Author who lost the files and cannot reupload the Mod. Since I have the files and believe that everyone should experience/have this fantastic mod, I am uploading it for everyone to use and enjoy again. I've tried my best to restore and make an exact duplicate of the Original Mod Page but almost all the Pictures/Details that were originally included on the original mod page were lost. So I've had to add/tweak sections and fill in the blanks. Also since I'm just reuploading the mod I have no idea how to edit, change, or fix any existing problems with the mod. But if anyone wants to take a crack at improving the mod and fixing any problems that occur you're more then welcome (just let me know and I'll update and change the page/upload the new version, also feel free to submit new Pictures/Videos and Comparisons) Enjoy!

Not only is it a texture replacer, however, it's also an overhaul for the art style. Colors and materials have been altered intentionally to bring a greater sense of grit and realism to DA2. I love DA2, but I hate the default graphics, and this is my attempt to bring them up to modern standards. When I started work on this mod last year, I never thought I'd get this far. I learned modding from the ground up just for this series and, despite all the painful stumbles and late nights sobbing into my keyboard. What's Different Since the Last Update?
I've overhauled some of my earlier textures to fix tiling. Since I started this mod I've also become much better at normal maps and some other texture tricks, so I've updated some of my earlier textures to improve their appearance without losing performance. In addition, High Town, flora, and Sundermount are now all retextured, alongside yet more clutter textures. This means, in total, I've finished. . .

If you already have earlier versions of this mod, I urge you to ditch them and download the new version. I know, it's a hassle, but they've been improved and added to. What are the different versions?
