📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION: This mod will replace Merrill and Keeper Marethari from the Dalish origin story with versions that more closely resemble their DA2 counterparts, for the sake of visual continuity. It includes the following files: ef_bed200_keeper.mor ef_bed200_merrill.mor bed200cr_merrill.utc It will work with most other mods out there, provided they don\'t modify these same files.

TO UNINSTALL: Simply remove the files from your override directory. This will revert the characters back to their original appearance.
