📋 About This Mod
Special Thanks: Amycus - For their incredible armor and griffon crest resource. Tmp7704 - For importing the DA2 warden armor into DA:O.
Description: This is a sacred ashes insired retexture of Amycus' beautiful "Armor of the Warden's Burden". I attempted to get the color and specularity as close as possible to the armor from the DA:O trailers. Amycus did all the hard work, I just recolored and repainted a few textures; so if you like this mod please swing by the original authors' page and let them know. Note: I had issues with the helmet and swords, thus I didn't retexture them. Instead, I've uploaded an optional file that includes a slightly recolored version of my DA2 warden armor textures, imported into DA:O by tmp7704. I likely won't be making any changes or updates to this mod. I just thought I would upload it in case anyone can enjoy the armor as much as I did.
Installation: 1) First download and install Amycus' "Armor of the Warden's Burden", found here: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/2706/? 2) Optionally, if you'd like to use the helmet and sword shown in the screenshots, download & install Tmp7704's mod here: http://social.bioware.com/project/4662/ 3) Finally, download and extract the files from this mod into your Dragon Age Origins "Override" folder.
Uninstall: Delete the "WBR-Main" & "WBR-Helm and 1hSword" folders from your Dragon Age Origins "Override" folder.
Getting the armor and weapon in-game: You'll need to add the items manually to your inventory via the dev console with the commands below:
For the Warden's Burden armor:

Optional sword and helm (Note you'll get ALL items from Tmp7704's mod. The matching items are the "Warden's Longsword" and "Helm of the Warden-Ensign"): runscript zz_givewardenarmours
