📋 About This Mod

I'm unsure if I should thank Margerard or ElkeMaiou, but regardless, thank you!

I like how even the fantastical in-game mounts look like they could be real animals, with realistic scales and fur and claws.  But sometimes I like to play a larger-than-life Inquisitor with phenomenal, cosmic powers!, and an equally magical, mythical mount would be fun.  (I've also always been a little creeped out by the blank stare all dracolisks seem to have, so I adjusted the pupils to look a bit more...friendly.)  Big thanks to Shosholada: the game won't allow true metallics to show up on the dracolisks, but Shosholada figured out how to make textures like that sparkle anyway.

Install only ONE dracolisk color variation at a time!

  • []The saddle and dracolisk retextures are separate mods: to get a magma dracolisk + the new saddle, you'll want to install MythSteeds_Magma + MythSteeds_ArmoredSaddle.

    []"Can I install the saddle mod by itself, to use with the vanilla dracolisks?" Yep!

    []"Can I use the in-game saddle with one of these dracolisk retextures, and skip the saddle mod?" Yep!

    []These retextures will affect ALL non-DLC dracolisk mounts.  So if you install the Fadebeast variation, EVERY ONE of your dracolisk mounts will now appear black & green.

    []This saddle mod ONLY affects the dracolisk saddle; it won't affect, say, horse saddles.

EDIT: The saddle DOES affect horse, hart, and nug saddles too!  (I don't know if it affects the bog unicorn saddle.)  Oops, sorry for the misleading information.

  • []None of these retextures glow; the brighter ones just sort of look that way in dim light.

    Compatibility

    []Spoils of the Avvar: ?????  I don't kow how these retextures will interact with the Mountain Dracolisk, since I don't have this DLC.  It could be totally fine, or it could crash the game; I have no idea.  If you want to test this, I strongly advise saving your game before summoning the Mountain Dracolisk or wandering too near the Skyhold stables if it's already set to your current mount.  It's probably fine, but better safe than sorry!  EDIT: According to users (thanks Ilinsar!), this DLC is safe: these mods don't affect the Mountain Dracolisk and don't cause a crash.

    []JoH: 100% compatible.

    [*]Descent & Trespasser:  Useless, but sa
