📋 About This Mod
Update: Added DLC armor, weapons and creatures through the help of wizzyrm! I put them all in one zip since it's not really worth it to make them all their own thing (some of them are just one or two files), so just delete anything you don't want!
I like how shiny everything is in Inquisition because of my dumb little bird brain so I went through all the armors, weapons and creatures (those that wear armor) and made them outrageously shiny.
In some levels some armors may look a bit too shiny... problem is that if I make it less shiny it won't look shiny enough in other levels...
It's kind of hard to show some of the armors or weapons because you don't really see how shiny it is in screenshots I'm sorry
The female armors will only work if you have tmp7704's human, elf and dwarf proportion fixes (specifically the unisex light armor files) and magpiedragon's neutral female armors! I am not doing the weird boob armor!
However, if anyone wants to do the boob armors, I won't stop you
If the proportion fixes are too confusing to you with its different versions, Dalishious' Unofficial Remaster has the unisex light armors already added in!
There are instructions in the armor folder!! Please look at them!!
I also did a few mod armors (with permissions, credits are at the bottom and in the permissions and credits tab), you do need the base mods for these to work, then extract my files into that mods texture folder and overwrite. I've added instructions with them just in case.
I might do more if asked but keep in mind it'll probably take awhile, not only because of me being lazy but also because of permissions!
You can just put the main mod in your override:
