📋 About This Mod

I am not a fan of vanilla hoods or helmets, so I decided to create few custom hoods and other equipment for companions, in particular Leliana, Morrigan, Wynne and Velanna (the girls).

Thanks to RogueLass for the precious help in making them work. Some hoods derive from the collection RLs Swan Song, which is an impressive collection of clothing and armor.

Thanks to Crypto217 for the choices of locations for the items and the customized stats.

Thanks to wizzyrm for scripting and integration. The intention is to make these unique items smoothly merged in the plot of Origins and Awakening.

Credits to hsli for DA2 Isabela and Flemeth to DAO and kronaras for Flemeth Robe. I merged their DA2 ports with vanilla Morrigan's Robes to create the custom Flemeth's Lost Robes for Morrigan.

Credits to sabrine for the apostate's courage port in Back to Ferelden.

Thanks to Risibisi for permitting me to embed the DAI Morrigan hair from Look Hair! - Inquisition Edition in the hoods and helmets.

Thanks to BlickJustice for suggestions and corrections.

At present, I have used DAI hair for Morrigan in LOD0 everywhere, except for Morrigan's Hood in which you have the option to have the vanilla hair if you remove the folder "Morrigan\Morrigan Hoods\HF\DAI Hair". This because the hair in this hood is visible, and you probably want to keep it consistent with your choice of hair (vanilla or DAI) in your morph file.

In the other models (helmet and possession hood), the difference is subtle, so I sticked to DAI hair. The helmet has a visible part of the hair in the back (DAI style), but this is not disturbing when switching helmet on or off even if you have vanilla hair in your morph.

All LOD2 models have vanilla hair. You cannot spot the difference at distance.

Main files:

1) Hoods and Gear (for the girls) Definitions:

Contains the .gda and main scripts for the hoods and robes. Needed for all the custom items in this mod.

2) Hoods and Gear (for the girls) Morrigan:

Morrigan's Hood: (ID: 251). Restricted to Morrigan. This looks like the hood in tmp7704 Concept Morrigan (the diffuse map is the same). I edited all the textures to include feather transparency etc. It is a good match of the robe, if you want a wearable hood for Morrigan, and do not plan to use tmp7704 redesign with the permanent hood. At present, this hood is not tintable, as it is for the Morrigan's robe.

I have used the Morrigan DAI hair from Risibisi, which I consider canon. If you prefer vanilla hair, remove the "DAI hair" folder under "HF" folder.

Integration: Morrigan starts the game equipped with the hood.
