📋 About This Mod

First of all, special thanks to \"sorron\" (original author of the idea and info). I only made two alternative videos. You will find \"sorron\" mod and additional info here: (http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/702). Just Follow the Instructions to make it work. ================= Installation ================= 1. Download this file. 2. Unpack it with Winrar and move the single file to C:\\\\...\\\\Dragon Age\\\\packages\\\\core\\\\data\\\\movies\\\\ Note: The folder may not already exist. It works fine if stuck straight in the override folder as well. (Thank you, Shamikka, for testing this.) 3. Open the settings folder in C:\\\\Users\\\\Administrator\\\\My Documents\\\\BioWare\\\\Dragon Age\\\\ 4. Open DragonAge.ini file with notepad, or (preferably) Notepad++ 5. Modify the section to look like the below. Note: There should be two settings in 0 and 1. If you wish to keep those (not recommended, since it\\\'s annoying), simply move the video.bik to 2.

Please report them if you find some problem. ================= Credits: ================= Sorron user (from DragonAgeNexus). Thanks to Bioware for creating Dragon Age: Origins, as well as creating the video that was recycled for this opening video. Thanks to InsanitySorrow for his ReadMe Generator this file is based on. Special Thanks to *Louvette for the Background Image. ================= Tools Used: ================= Dragon Age ReadMe Generator Notepad++ ================= Licensing/Legal: ================= You may use this as you wish but you must credit \\\"sorron\\\" and me (in case you use this video) for our work and time. Please do not re-host this file without my explicit permission. This file was made by me using content already done but mixing and improving it with envolving music and eye-candy effects. I used \\\"MAGIX Video deluxe 17 Premium Version - Video and Audio Editor. Converted the video from .wmv to .bik (using Rad Video Tools) and worked out how to make it work in the game (following \\\"sorron\\\" instructions). I encourage everyone to make his own version and share it on this site! Keep the franchise alive.
