Craft Without Materials

Introduction:

So, I've been playing DAO for quite a while and before I made this little mod for myself, I couldn't get quite involved in the prospect of crafting because everything I wanted to use had an item requirement that either would bloat my inventory or would force me to spend my hard-earned sovereigns in flasks, stones and extracts. In Awakening, which I've played so little, it was even worse, since I never bothered to waste time on rune crafting or making those fancy potions and traps. Decided not to get roadblocked by that anymore, I've done bit of tinkering and made this.

What It Does:

It changes the required item quantities to zero, simple and modifiable as that. In game it will make the items required by the recipes appear as a blank, while still enabling you to craft the item, one at a time, just like in the vanilla game.

While this is a cheat mod that I made for personal use, I've decided not to void the skill requirements for each recipe and, naturally, you'd have to know the recipe beforehand before using it. You could use this mod combined with Dolic's All Recipes Mod if you'd rather have all recipes with the minor nuisance of having to type a simple command.

Compatibility:

Anything that doesn't directly change those two files will be compatible with this mod.

crafting_recipes.gda

crafting_recipes_gxa.gda

Since I don't use custom items, I'm not certain how it would react to custom craftables, but perhaps some compatibility changes could be made if they use common files.

Installation:

There are two folders within the file, one for the base game, the other for Awakening. Pick whichever you need (or want) and drop them on the usual "[...]\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override" folder.

Alternatively, you can use Vortex to install them quickly, if you have both the base game and expansion.

Further Notes:

As I stated above, I've have barely even touched Awakening's crafting, so if there's any problem with it, feel free to signal it to me and I'll see what can be done (so long as it is caused specifically by my mod).

I suggest using this mod along with Long Poisons, just make sure it won't conflict with any other mod you might have, like Combat Tweaks.
