📋 About This Mod
Moonlight Chromatic Greatsword
Thank you ever so much to The Frosty Development Team for giving us the possibility to import new models!
Without their hard work this mod would not be possible.
DESCRIPTION
This mod replaces the model for the Chromatic Greatsword from the Trespasser DLC with my own model
that I have named the Moonlight Chromatic Greatsword. It works really well with a holy build!
The sword is powered by magic, so the blade is only visible when in battle. When sheathed only the hilt is visible.
The sword is made of metal, but has a distinctly organic look. The short, stringy and transparent blade
wraps around and merges with the rather uneven ornamented hilt.
Maybe a side effect from containing powerful magic?
I always liked the idea of the Chromatic sword, but was honestly horrified by the look of the hilt... So I made a new one! Hope you like it!
The Chromatic Greatsword is arguably one of the better schematics in the game (Tier 4 I believe), still I have never used it because of the way it look.
The sword is made entirely by me, from model to texture.
I've been on such a 3D modelling binge after finding out that its now possible to import new meshes into Dragon Age!
REQUIREMENTS
Trespasser DLC.
HOW TO GET IT
To make the sword you'll need the schematic. This is one of the better schematics in the game.
It's reward in the Trespasser DLC.
How to get it (from Dragon Age Wiki):
Rewarded upon earning a score of 80 or higher during the unmarked side quest Fireworks mini-game at the Winter Palace.

If you've played through the game before you might already have it with the Golden Nug.
This is the original Chromatic Greatsword:
COMPATIBILITY
The sword works in all areas of the game! I've been to all the DLC areas and experienced no delay or crashes.
The mod will not work with other mods editing the Chromatic Greatsword mesh (both hilt and pommel) or textures.
