📋 About This Mod
If you do not want more levels, but want some way to get more talent points, check my Talent Point as Rewards -mod.
V2. 5: I've now overhauled the mod to be up to 50! NOTE: not compatible with older versions, requires a new character to work. Now also has area -files available, increasing levels of your foes to 50!
Have you downloaded many combat mods, but always thinking how you wanted higher level cap, more specializations and access to more
specializations slots? Then this mod is for you!
The mod now allows you to level up till 50. And it uses the base game xp values for level up! This means you can safely remove this mod during your playthrough if you don't care for it. or install it mid playhrough. No need to start a new game! It can also be used to gain more specialization points during a normal playthrough and removed safely after you have gained all that you want. The amount of tactic points has been increased to 30.
With 6 specialization points -version, you gain them like in vanilla, with levels 7, 14 and 22 and then also with levels 28, 35 and 42.
With 8 specialization points -version, you gain them at levels 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 36 and 40.
Optionally you can download the files that only give you 6 or 8 specialization points without the increase of level cap.
I haven't touched the vanilla XP gains in any way, so using this at lower levels should not change your gameplay experience.
But wait! What if you have download many different specialization mods, but you can't access them, since the game only shows 8? Well not anymore! Now you can have access to 12 slots, meaning you can make so many combinations! If you have less or more than 12, the empty ones will be grayed out.
Installation: put the files to your override -folder in Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override. Don't want them anymore? You can remove them safely.
Compatiblity: conflicts with other exptables.gda, areadata, properties and cla_data_filler.gda files. Otherwhise has no issues and works with base game and all DLC's/mod campaigns.
For other properties.gda-files, only overwrites the amount of levels, xp, skill/talent/attripute/specialization points you can have. Meaning it
should be compatible with other properties-files in your override. However, this should be loaded last of the files in override. That means when the folders are alphabetical order, this properties-file should be in the last of them (or in toolsetexport -named folder) for the mod to work properly.
If you use the the areadata -files, they will be in affect after
Raises the level cap to 50 or 70 and expands specialization points to 8 with 12 slots, with an option to keep the cap at 35. A popular progression overhaul for players who want more build flexibility, backed by 469 endorsements and 25,615 downloads.
