Human Commoner Origin - Revived

Human Commoner Origin: Revived

As you may know a human commoner origin for warriors and rogues was originally planned for the game but was dropped during the game's development due to concerns that the origin, nicknamed the 'chosen one' origin, didn't fit the overall story or the other origins.

The work already done on the origin, including all necessary scripting and plot flags for the origin to be playable in the main campaign and some voiced dialogue, including the introduction to Cailan at Ostagar and the Warden being called a 'peasant' at the Landsmeet, were not cut and remained in the game.

However, no work was done on the origin itself. There are no areas or characters and no origin specific references, such as the conversation with Wynne about how the human commoner became a Grey Warden, and no gauntlet 'ghost' or coronation attendee.

While there are references in the toolset regarding the origin, they are not consistent with each other nor with the dialogue found in game and since the problem was with the story itself, I wrote an original story that fits the references found in the game. A gauntlet 'ghost' and coronation attendee were then added and so was a character to one of the main quests. Codex entries were also added to expand on the origin and a few lines of dialogue were altered or added when needed.

The origin story will be told as a slideshow, similar to the epilogue slides, at the beginning of the game and the game will begin at Ostagar. Pictures of the completed morphs and farm level are included in the images section.

I had planned on doing a playable origin but found that it would take too much time and work for me to do on my own. If anyone is interested in contributing to the mod or making mods compatible with this one, please let me know.

Download and extract. Install the dazip with the DAUpdater and place the 'Human Commoner Origin' folder into override.

The mod can be uninstalled at any time by using a mod manager to uninstall the dazip and removing the folder from override. Even if disabled or uninstalled the saves for a human commoner will still be playable since all the necessary scripting to play that origin is already a part of the game. However, there will be no gauntlet 'ghost', coronation attendee or relevant dialogue changes.

To play the origin, start a new game and select the origin's icon, then create your character as you normally would. Afterwards, there will be a slideshow that will tell the story of the origin. The game will then begin as you arrive at Ostagar with Duncan. The human commoner will begin the game at level 3, with new equipment and several codex entries revealed, including new ones specific to
