Origins Faster Combat

Sample videos now uploaded. Shows 3 versions. 1) original unmodded 2) faster_combat (version 1) 3) faster_combat_v2 (version 2). Enjoy. Disclaimer: I don\'t know if there are mods that increase combat speed. I was inspired after playing DA2. Unfortunately, the only cool thing about DA2 is the combat, and thus I have come back to DA:O. Permissions: Since I\'m very busy in real life, any modder feel free to alter this and redistribute as you like. This is a very simple . GDA alteration to the file Itemstats. Gda. If you are a modder, you should know where to find this and how to alter. ==================================== ..:: Dragon Age Origins: Faster Combat ::.. ==================================== This mod attempts to speed up all weapon speed to make combat feel natural. The old style DA:O combat has very slooow animation, and after playing DA2, I felt this needed a quick change. The only thing I can not change is the mage staff auto attack -- for some reason, the game refuses to alter the attack speed regardless how I change the delay value. ...::: Versions :::... Faster_Combat - This version makes the game feel \"natural\" and fluid. Very minor weapon stat changes. Faster_Combat_v2 - This increases combat speed even more. The action is faster, some might like this version more. Faster_Combat_v3 - Combat speed is the same as v2, however, archery effectiveness is highly increased for both NPC & PC. Bows will now do equivalent to a 2 handed weapon damage. If you use this version, remember -- NPC archers will also hit harder. Faster_Runspeed - This mod increases the base run speed of every NPC & PC by 20%. This effect works in and out of combat. apr_base is modified and added as an extension m2da. To use faster combat, pick ONLY ONE version. To have faster run speed, download faster_runspeed separately and put into the override folder. ...::: What this mod does :::... - Makes DA:O combat feel more natural. Attacks are faster. - When you get jumped by 3 darkspawn rogues, becareful because they attack faster. - When there are archers sniping at you, you can not ignore them anymore because they shoot faster. - Archer\'s damage are brought in-line with melee countparts. An archer with Rapid Shot activated will wreck havoc like they should. - Combat should feel fun. Old style combat feels like you\'re running through sand - very slow and clunky. - When you get a weapon other than greatsword or longsword, you should look at their 1) crit 2) armor pen 3) base damage etc... Some weapons such as mace and hand axe could be good weapons. - Wearing a shield now means something. Defense is increased to make wearing a shield \"meaningful\". This goes for NPC as well. NPC using a shield might be harder to take down. - Overall, this very small mod should increase your enjoyment
