📋 About This Mod
First of all, big thanks to Firinneach for allowing me to use the text they wrote for this mod.
This mod brings Companion letters for Awakening as Codex entries. As some of you may know, a romanced Leliana or Zevran will send you a letter in Awakening, informing you of their whereabouts. It always bugged me a bit that none of the other companions did so, or that Zev or Leli didn't send you a letter if you weren't romancing them.
This mod aims to fix it my adding these letters to your Storage Chest in Vigil's Keep's Throne Room. They will be added automatically and won't reappear after you have gained these. They will appear also mid-save, so no need to start a new file to get these.
If you want something similar to Witch Hunt, I also have Letters for Witch Hunt available as well.
NEW IN 2. 0: Now includes letters from all companions besides Morrigan, as I felt it didn't fit for the story. And with multiple variations available. And without a need to start a new save.
2. 1 addition: Sten now has multiple letters depending on your race and if your Mabari was recruited or not. Oghren's typo fix is included. Orlesian Warden now can receive letters with 4 different options from Alistair as king or as a warden, one where he romanced the Hero of Ferelden and one where he didn't. It's best used with Shanamah's excellent Orlesian Warden Appreciation that allows you to import Dead Warden's world state to Awakening.
This mod includes currently the following:
Alistair:
Alistair was certainly the most complex one with a dozen variation available. I have included every one of them, so he has the following:
