📋 About This Mod

EDIT: Version 1. 03 WARNING: This new version is NOT a patch. Don\'t install it if you already have a savegame with the beta version that you want to continue playing. Updates in this version: -Certain fights made easier -Home-Away-From-Home is now usable upon your return to Kal-Sharok -The Palace will now be automatically open upon your return to Kal-Sharok -Shearclaw should be more effective in combat -More injury kits available from merchants -The \'Of Noble Birth\' quest should -FINALLY- be fixed for good. “Every living creature, great or small, lives in fear of death.” A small band of merchants, mercenaries and politicians trudge their way through the perils of the Deep Roads. Their destination is Kal-Sharok, the notoriously reclusive and mysterious former dwarven capital. Propelled by their own greed, they dream of discovering great riches or untapped lyrium veins in the ancient ruins lying in wait for them there. One young mercenary, cast aside from surface society, will find a kind of destiny in this dark and monstrous city...for Kal-Sharok is at once both life and death. An attempt to prove that (apart from level editing) any poor schmuck with a complete lack of scripting skill or technical knowledge can make a working, plot-driven module with the \'hard\' DA toolset. So far: -Fight for the fate of Kal-Sharok -Explore the crumbling ruins and history of this ancient dwarven city -Recruit four companions, the exiled Qunari mercenary Ashaad, the former elven freedom fighter Valena, sweet-natured Kal-Sharok carta dwarf Bundy, and the ferocious werewolf Shearclaw. -Side-quests with real choice/consequence -Enchantment! -Hopefully, a couple of hours\' gameplay (more if you\'re a slow reader...) TO PLAY: Go to your Dragon Age folder in your Local Disk; go into the bin_ship folder, and extract the mod using DAUPdater. The mod should then appear under \'Other Campaigns\' in the game menu. Let me know if there are any problems. Feedback, as ever, would be fantastic and very helpful.
