📋 About This Mod

v0. 30 Released --Who, or what, is Saarebas?-- \"Saarebas: A Dangerous thing, the Qunari word for their mages\" Saarebas is a Tal-Vashoth, a former Qunari who has chosen to abandon the Qun. He has fled from Seheron after being found practicing what the Qunari refer to as \"forbidden magic.\" Those who are discovered performing such magics have their tongues cut out. Saarebas did not feel that he deserved such ruthless punishment, so he has fled to Ferelden seeking refuge in the Mage Tower. --Description-- This mod will add a recruitable Qunari Mage in Lake Calenhad. The lack of male mages and Qunaris in general have been my inspiration in creating this mod. Saarebas is a WORK IN PROGRESS, so please report any problems you may encounter. --Installation-- 1. Download the .zip file \"Saarebas\" and unzip it. 2. Install the file that it gives you, \"saarebas.dazip\" file using DAModder, DAO-Modmanager, or daupdater. --Uninstallation-- Uninstall the \"Saarebas\" mod using DAModder or DAO-Modmanager. --Updates-- v0. 30 Updated model. New gear. Robot voice over, for now. Other undocumented tweaks/fixes. --Compatibility-- Currently, my mod does not override any core files. Karma\'s Companions Ser Gilmore NPC - Fully Voiced Lealion The Bloodworks Return to Korcari Wilds and other companion mods should all be compatible with my mod for now. (STRICTLY my mod, meaning you will have to visit the individual pages of the other mods to see the compatibility with themselves (ex: my mod is compatible with Ser Gilmore and Return to Korcari Wilds, but they may not be compatible with eachother, so check Ser Gilmore or Return to Korcari Wild\'s individual pages for info.) --Notes-- Please note that this will change the models of ALL Qunaris in the game to the ones from DA2. That includes Sten. If you want to make your own face morph, name the morph \"qm_genfl_saarebas\" and drop it in your \"\\Documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\packages\\core\\override\\\" folder. Don\'t take Saarebas to the Fade with you. As of right now, I do not have a Fade level set up for him. Nothing bad happens if you bring him, you\'ll just be one man short for the Fade\'s boss. --Work In Progress-- Custom level up and AI table - DONE! DA2 style Qunari - DONE! Much more dialogue Personal quest(s) Unique gifts Unique gear - DONE! Further compatibility with other mods Backstory and reason he joins the Warden History with Sten Interjection during story events Potential romance option(s)? --Other Mods by Me-- Jory the Dwarf Leliana the Elf Morrigan the Elf Zevran the Human --Credits-- Big thanks to tmp7704 for his qunari update mod!
