📋 About This Mod

I\'ve always wondered why my Warden would carry around a rose through all of the Blight, but upon travelling to Amaranthine, she\'d leave it behind. Now, there are perfectly valid game mechanics reasons for this, but that doesn\'t mean I have to like it. So I made this mod that will add one of three versions Alistair\'s Rose (depending on the state of the relationship at the end of Origins) to the player\'s inventory; provided the Warden has received it at some point. As a plot item, it doesn\'t take up any space, but it also doesn\'t do anything. It being a plot item also means that it will again vanish from the inventory once Awakening is completed. I\'d love to change that, but DLAN_Immortality, whose instructions on how to make a mod for Awakening I followed, stated that the same can\'t be done for The Golems of Amgarrak and Witch Hunt, and because everything so far worked just as she said, I choose to believe that, too. The only method I could think of to keep that rose in the Warden\'s last two adventures would be to make it an actual (as opposed to plot) item, but that\'s not what I wanted to do, and it\'s also something that has been done already. Because just a picture in one category of the backpack didn\'t seem all that exciting to me, there\'s more. Additionally, again depending on the state of the relationship at the end of Origins, one of three items might be added to the player\'s inventory. All three of them can only be worn by the Warden-Commander, and none of them is overly strong. NOTE: If you\'re using TerraEx\' Silverite Mines Bugfix (and if you aren\'t, you really should), the additional items still won\'t show up on the Experimental Subject created to represent the Warden-Commander. They\'re not lost, though: They\'re waiting in the chest at the end, along with the other non-equippable stuff. While I\'m not sure why that\'s the case, I tell myself it\'s better this way. NEW It seems the main version of this mod does not always recognize it if the romance was ended and then restarted. Although I suspect this is mostly due to a glitch within the romance itself, I changed a check so an unmarried Warden-Commander who once accidentally ended the relationship but then rekindled it will still receive the locket. Unfortunately, this means that this optional file \"Romance Mementos - less restrictive\" will only consider the romance as off if it was ended in a way that made restarting it impossible. Meaning that if you were nice while you dumped Alistair, the locket which was meant as a token of an ongoing romance might still be added to the inventory. ******** On why there are two versions of this file: Apparently, there is a bug that causes characters in Origins to receive Alistair\'s rose even without romancing him. If this happened, the character will again receive the rose in Awakening. Originally, I assumed there was something wrong with the mod, but now it doesn\'t look like it. So, both
