📋 About This Mod
Thedosian Grey Wardens - Dwarven Expansion
10/21/20: Men added
Expands Makara's Thedosian Grey Wardens to include Dwarven armors.
That's...it. Please follow instructions on that mod page. This mod will absolutely, positively not work even remotely without following Makara's instructions. This mod only contains models needed so without the initial mod, these are just useless files in your override. This contains no textures, no items, no scripts. Just Dwarven models. If there are any problems with Dwarven models, please let me know. Any other problems with Thedosian Wardens should be referred to that mod page.
Though it is not required for this to "work", I recommend downloading tmp7704's Dwarven proportions fix. Otherwise, when you try to mix up gloves and armors, you'll get some oddities as this mod was made with that skeletal rig. The hands are still a little "noodly" but it's not obvious.
Installation: Unzip contents of Thedosian Wardens - Dwarven Expansion - the ladies. 7z into:
USER/Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/packages/core/override
Do not install into the override folder located in the installation directory
Obviously and most importantly, makara5656 for Thedosian Grey Wardens - this mod could not exist without it!
Credits to BioWare for of course the series and Inquisition and to Eshme for the 3dsmax plugin.
Special thanks to ellia on the DAO Modding discord for helping me fix an incredibly annoying skeletal problem.
This mod expands Makara's Thedosian Grey Wardens to include models for Dwarven Wardens, adding visual variety for dwarf characters. It has 360 endorsements and was last updated in December 2021, indicating a stable, niche addition for fans of the original mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 360 endorsements
- Fills a gap for dwarf players who want lore-friendly armor
- Simple expansion that integrates with an existing popular mod
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original mod, so it's not standalone
- Only adds dwarven models—no new gameplay or stats
- Last updated in 2021, so compatibility with newer game versions is uncertain
For Dragon Age fans who use Makara's Thedosian Grey Wardens and play as dwarves, this adds much-needed visual representation. If you're not using the base mod or don't play dwarves, skip it—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Thedosian Grey Wardens mod installed first, or this expansion won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex to avoid overwriting files manually.
- Check the mod's page for any load order notes, though as a cosmetic addon it should be safe to place after the base mod.
