📋 About This Mod
I have always hated the “nutcracker outfit” the Inquisition wears at the Winter Palace. I find it too flashy and the colour scheme doesn’t match either of the Inquisition’s, whether it be grey and red, or green.
Which is why I've decided to remake the texture and make it look more like a united Inquisition front. In addition, I've removed Solas's hat to make this compatible with Solas hair mods.
I’ve also made an alternate outfit for the ladies as it seemed strange to me that neither Leliana, Josephine or Vivienne would pick better fashion to attend an event such as a grand ball. Which is why I've modified parts of Vivienne’s armours and combined them with the original boots and gloves to make a more formal looking and more feminine outfit that would still allow trellis climbing.
I’ve also made a third option in which only Leliana, Josephine and Vivienne wear that new outfit and the Inquisitor, Cassandra and Sera still wear the classic one.
Those three options will be in the main files, please only choose one as they are incompatible with each other.
Also note that to avoid a glitch making it impossible to complete the Winter Palace mission, I had to replace the Arcane Warrior armour. This will impact the multiplayer as the texture will be wrong and the outfit will be the formal wear if you try to equip the Arcane Warrior armour.
In the optional files, you will find an addon to make things more compatible with my DAV Hair mod and avoid clipping between the hairstyle and the mask for Briala and Celene. I have also modified the Fereldan noble outfit to give Teagan hair and remove his hat in Trespasser.
I have now added six recolours for the outfits : teal/dark blue, green, champagne/purple, red/blue (for those who still want the classic colours), white/orange and pink. To use the recolours, download the file that matches your version of the main mod, select the colour you want and load below the main mod. You may only use one colour at a time.
You will need Frosty Mod Manager version 1. 0. 6. 3 to play with this mod. Version 1. 0. 7. 0 is meant for Veilguard, not DAI and can cause issues. This mod is obviously incompatible with any other mod replacing the formal wear or Arcane Warrior armour.
A compact retexture mod for the Winter Palace formal dress outfit in Dragon Age: Inquisition, with an optional new outfit for female characters. With 71 endorsements and 2,207 downloads, it's a niche cosmetic choice for players wanting visual variety.
