📋 About This Mod
So ventured my group to the Mage tower.. You lot know what is coming next! I know you do! And we all hate it. And this time I can't use a mod to simply skip it. Oh bugger. But all up to that is now re-done in the tower. Now I just need to muster my motivation and go to the fade. --------------------------
Easter update!!! Yay!!
So! I ventured into Orzammar and the deeproads and now they are both done!! Woop-de-doop! Lot's of new clutter items and ofc many many new enviroment files. Some furniture too.
Enjoy and remember to delete the old file just in case! :)
---------------------------
Well I will not go into details about being homeless, no electricity, fire hazards, council wars and demonic eviction.
HOWEVER, I can state the teaser files are finally up. Scary... Only about 300 of 800+ files have been done. But due to me fixing shaders, adding normals, spectrals and adding new files entirely in some places, it is larger than originals. Please be aware the files have been separated from original layout. This is due to me using the 'Final' folder to keep track with what I am happy with.
Therefor highly recommend you move the original mod files out of the override folder to see the differences. I will work on getting things tidied up for next proper release.
Additionally I will be releasing a Reshade file in next week that will add a ton of new stuff to DAO and make things look very impressive. Feedback is extremely welcomed. Be aware these are no way final. 300 odd files, and I have a excel sheet of over 400+ tweaks/fixes I need to do on these. These are all first passes to get feeling right ingame, Polish is far later. Enjoy!

2nd Feb 2016 - Apologies ALL!
Sorry for Silence. I have had a insanely chaotic few months. Firstly I had to leave flat due to ongoing issues that made it dangerous. Then I visited parents in Bahrain over Christmas. However, with Saudi kicking off with beheadings the internet was shut down without warning, locking me off from my cloud saved files. Then soon as I returned to UK I have spent all of January learning how to start my own company and paperwork to acquire fundings. Breaths
NOW, I have freed time all the way up to March by fighting through this chaos. I sadly ain't going to set a date in stone, but expect a large release by then with Normal maps, touched up textures and a at minimum over 1000 textures with full spectral maps as well if required.
I also been working on a Reshade setup that introduces a lot of new effects. The best one being colour bleeding of environment lights as they bounce. Sadly it
