📋 About This Mod

So taken was King Cailan with the Grey Wardens, that he had his armorers craft a Rivani armor fit for their leader, with the finest materials and workmanship, which he gifted to Duncan upon their meeting.

~ UPDATE: VHDAIO Full Patch out now! ~

A Gift From Cailan

Duncan's Armor

 

Duncan's vanilla armor, revamped in gold, blue, 'Grey' and black, with added DA2-style Grey Warden details.  GWoF & GreyerWOF-compatible.  Because Duncan's armor is not one using separate textures for the boots, gloves etc., the "4K" texture is highly recommended, regardless of your in-game resolution.  However, 2K is also provided.

Installation

 
unpack to Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override
 
  • []4x upscaled textures with numerous corrections and improvements[/]

    []Newly-generated specular map (and environment mask) based on the HQ diffuse upscale [/]

    []Some pieces have been replaced with DA2-style Grey Warden textures (including pants)[/]

    []100% new pauldrons (redrawn from scratch, new normals)[/]

    []100% new swirlies on the chest and back (same)[/]

    []100% new gold belt buckles[/]

    []100% new hand armor[/]

    []100% new embroidered design at the bottom of the robe[/]

    []Arm plates changed from leather to metal; newly-added detailed etching (4K necessary for full detail)[/]

    []Leather recolored to match the upcoming GreyerWOF set, with new leather textures blended into all maps[/]

    []Added accent-color stitching to the larger leather belts[/]

    []Somewhat cleaned & improved boot textures, even though you hardly see them (it's tricky down there, very low-res area)[/]

    []Let's not forget the giant golden two-headed griffin painted under his butt[/]

Extras

[]An early alpha version of the texture with less changes and a slightly different color scheme.  It's still notably different, but at the same time much closer to the vanilla textures.  I still like the way this looks, so I made it available as a bonus file.[/]

[]An addon for the mod "Duncan hair with earring" (which gives him shinier hair and a thinner, but higher-poly earring); this addon changes the earring from silver to gold (and makes it more reflective).  It does not require A Gift From Cailan, only Duncan hair with Earring.[/]

[]4K & 2K compatibility patches for various armor item mods.  Includes all textures needed for equipping on female bodies with Vestments AIO or Grey Warden Garments.  Also includes icons and even fixes for other mods.  [/]
