Dragon Age Uprising Act I

Uprising Act II is now Released

You can download it here on the Nexus

Description

Dragon Age Uprising Act I is a mod in which the player takes on the role of a Highever alienage elf caught in a world of social and political strife. It is the first in a three act story in which alienage elves are given a chance to rise up. But, other powers are also at work which may force the player to sacrifice their cause to save Ferelden.

Update 1. 16

Fixes a start bug that occurred if the player selected the apostate class first but then chose to play as a warrior or rogue instead. The bug caused the mod to think the player was still an apostate and thus start them in the apostate origin location instead of the player's home apartment. This update doesn't change anything else from version 1. 15 and for those playing as an apostate, there is no need to update to this version.

Update 1. 15

Luna Romance Issue

At the end of Act I, the player can basically initiate a romance with Luna, if she made it to the end. However, though carelessness on my part, the plot flag wasn't set and so the player's choice in the ending conversation wasn't recorded. We have already created a fix in Act II that will resolve the issue. The Luna romance doesn't really start until Act II anyway so, this is more of an immersion issue than game-breaking as you are not locked out of a romance with her depending on the final conversation in Act I. Also, update 1. 15 fixes the plot flags and so new games and any reload before the final conversation will work correctly.

Apostate Class

We added an Apostate Class for this mod. We initially planned to have the apostate class but some technical issues prevented us from releasing it on time and thus we gave up on it for a while. Please see the Uprising Apostate Class article for details of the apostate class itself. The Apostate Class has been integrated into Act I and thus there is new and modified content to reflect the player is an apostate. The Apostate Class should not conflict with other mod's as all files used are modified copies of the originals. Furthermore, Apostate Class won't accidently appear in other mods or DA Origins.

We are still tweaking the Apostate Class for balance and improvements. Please comment on any issues or ideas regarding the Apostate Class or Act I in general so we can improve them as well as Act II.

Lore Setting

Dragon Age Uprising is built off and inspired by the Dragon Age lore but it does not strictly adhere to every event that occurred in Dragon Age Origins, Awakening, or Dragon Age
