📋 About This Mod

for you who like the hybrid style of the arcane warrior (tank and mage) then this is a good choice. its a mix of armour and the mage robes. I worked hard on this, Please endorse. I should let people know, i only made it for the human female. it works for other females, just doesnt look good. i will eventually add the male version and other races soon. how to put into your game: put mod into Dragone Age/packages/override or use the DAModder program and install once you add the mod, you need to enter your game then open your console command (which is the \"`\" button) and type in, \"runscript aa_get_scales\" and then press enter. here is the link on how to activate your console: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Console and thats that. enjoy :) UPDATE: there have been problems in the the script as i hear. thankfully someone has figured out that you need to add the content of the arcane_scales_modcore.erf in /module/data to that in /core/data and deleting the .erf in /module/data. But it doesnt look good. so i hope to firgure it out soon.
