📋 About This Mod

Cross-Eyed Removal for Varric Talk
For frosty mod manager or dai mod manager. Removes the cross-eyed expression the inquisitor has when asking Varric "that got a little heated, are you alright?" during a cutscene at skyhold.

The frosty mod manager version also removes that same expression from a rather small handful of lines said out in the field (outside of cutscenes.) It definitely doesn't cover them all, just a small handful, because I started on them before realizing later that there were lots more occurrences of this expression outside of cutscenes than I had originally thought, too many for me address fully. But if you see the frosty version edits extra files, that is why.

Q1: What do the DAIMM and frosty in the file names mean?

A1: DAIMM = version of the mod for people using dai mod manager.

Frosty = version of the mod for people using frosty mod manager.

Q2: Do I need to use both the DAIMM and frosty versions of the mod at once?

A2: No, there's no reason to do that.

Q3: Will this work on all inquisitor types?

A3: Should do.

Q4: Will this remove the expression in all other scenes, too?

Q5: Will you add this edit to other dialogues too?

A5: This edit as far as I know has to be done on a line-by-line basis, which makes applying it to other dialogue tricky because there's no "turn off this animation for all dialogues" switch I can tick, each appearance of the expression has to be addressed individually. So I don't think I'll ever be able to apply this edit to all dialogues just because of the sheer amount of them.

That said, for frosty mod manager, if you are able to tell me what line a character is saying when you see this glitch, and which character is speaking at the time under what context e.g X character said Y line as they picked X dialogue option whilst they were doing Z thing during XYZ questline. Then I can look into the issue with that specific line and try fix it.

Saves before the bugged dialogue are appreciated for testing purposes however not 100% needed if you cannot produce one, telling me the above information should suffice.

But, if you would like to supply me with a save file for testing purposes...:

Your save files are the . DAS files located under your documents > bioware > dragon age: inquisition > saves, if you wish to supply me with any, you can upload them to some file hosting website like mediafire.
