Fit for a Queen

Please read the whole description if you don't want to see NPCs wearing weird-looking outfits

The fact that some random Fereldan NPCs look better dressed than poor Anora annoys me quite a bit, so I decided to retexture the dress BioWare forced her into. The goal was, of course, to make it look a little more like something I could see her wearing, because I'm pretty sure the Anora from DA:O wouldn't be caught dead in a burlap dress. I initially wanted to somewhat blend the austere feel I get from her tarot card with something vaguely inspired by her DA:O dress (hence the blend of patterns, the fabric that's supposed to look like silk, the golden accents and the boots no one's even going to see), but I had to make some colour changes due to the lighting in Redcliffe Castle.

I doubt many people will be interested in this, but I figured I'd share it anyway, just in case anyone else thinks a little more thought should have been put into Anora's Inquisition appearance.

On a more technical note, I've blown the diffuse, spec and normal maps up to 4K and scaled the (now empty) tint map down to 8 x 8. I haven't noticed any major performance hit myself, but this is something to be expected as most files are bigger in size. Also, the DXT1 compression completely ruined my spec map, so I went for DXT5 instead. I really recommend making a hard save before confronting Alexius; I haven't experienced any crashes with my mod installed, but you're better safe than sorry.

Please note that this mod is not perfect by any means:

[]As you can see on my screenshots, due to the lighting in that particular scene, the dress looks much better when viewed from the back   (which is really unfortunate, but I've done everything I could to make it not look like a black blob and I'm just really sick of tweaking it over and over again).

[]The golden stitching on the velvet overdress (or whatever it's called) looks a bit wonky in a couple of areas. The only way to fix this would be to edit the mesh or its UV map, and I haven't been able to import the edited .obj file back into the Mod Maker.

[]The shoes were quite hard to paint on; I tried my best but the shoelaces may look a little funky depending on the angle. You don't really get to see her feet, though, so that shouldn't be noticeable during normal gameplay.

[]Since I can't make the dress unique to her, this mod is only meant to be enabled during the In Hushed Whispers quest (which is available if you decide to get help from the mages). The dress shares its texture maps with a few other models and since I've only edited the parts used by Anor
