📋 About This Mod
All right! v2. 00 is here! This should be the definitive version, and it runs bug-free on my system. but naturally, please come screaming to me if there are any bugs. As always, I reccommend jwvanderbeck\'s \"No Starting Abilities\" mod to make the greatest use of the skill-based weapon selection. There is going to be a version out as per requests that equips your armor for the starting cutscene; it will be along shortly. Here\'s a rundown of everything: INTRO HUMAN NOBLE CUTSCENE: COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT FORESHADOWING! ----------------------------------------------------------------- You show up dressed elegantly as befits a noble of your rank, looking like you belong in the conversation between Bryce and Howe. Now, it\'s only Duncan that looks scruffy from the road - but at least he gets custom armor for that. OMG! RATS! ---------- You are unarmed, and so you should do the proper noble thing: Stay to the side and let Ser Gilmore and the Dog kill the rats. But if you simply feel like punching some rats, go for it! Even with a Super-Nightmare Mod installed, it\'s not like they can hurt you, and they die in one hit. Blood apparently does not stick to silk in Ferelden, as you\'ll notice that by the end, you\'re the only clean one. :) THE SIEGE OF HIGHEVER FINDS YOU IN YOUR UNDERWEAR! -------------------------------------------------- While your dog\'s barking like crazy (and potentially your lover too), you\'re strapping your gear on like an intelligent RPG hero would do. By the time you have control and Howe\'s soldiers kick in the door, you\'re armed and ready for combat! Note that the game still prioritizes Two Handed Weapons > Two Weapons > Sword & Shield > Archery. Archers, your bow is in your second weapons group in all cases. As a side note, since it occurs automatically and has nothing to do with looting your chest, you get to keep that useless Small Grease Trap! Yay! LOOT THE TREASURY BEFORE THEY DO! --------------------------------- When you grab the Family Sword and the Shield of Highever, they will automatically be replaced with silverite versions of themselves. Also, when you take the sword, you will get your father\'s silverite formal armor! You know, that cool stuff he\'s wearing in his portrait in the main hall? Now, unlike the starting equipment I provide, these have their stat requirements in place, so you\'ll have to work your way up to use your father\'s stuff (or cheat). Since this is a treasury, there\'s also a reasonable amount of gold. Enough to get everyone equipped, but not enough to afford the expensive stuff, so everyone should be happy. To keep things clean (and prevent a reoccurence), I remove the original items. Note well, the original Family Sword did not have stat requirements, but this new silverite one DOES. Enchantments on the family items and your father\'s armor set are very modest - the armor set merely has slight increases to armor and a mild boost to physical and mental def
