📋 About This Mod
You must start a NEW GAME in order to use this mod. I apologize for the inconvenience but short of recoding the game and likely messing up the game for myself (as I\'m sure I would fail at it) it is out of my control. This mod was made to correspond with Experience cap 100 and Berserk + Arcane Warrior difficulties mods, it can however be used standalone. The two difficulties I made are difficult to use without healers and Sword and Shield tanks, therefore I decided to make it so you could use virtually any warrior as a sword and shield style with Templar specializations for the MUCH needed magic resist. It plays along with role playing means and as such you will not have Anders using Blood Magic or anything of that nature. Any feedback or questions and concerns please feel free to comment and let me know I\'ll see about changes I can make. INSTALLATION -Unzip the .rar file to a temporary location. -Copy the folder to your Documents-Bioware-Dragon Age 2-packages-core-override directory. UNINSTALLATION -Delete the folder from the above (installation) directory. CHANGES Quick List of added skill trees. Anders-> Entrophy, Spirit Healer, Force Mage Aveline-> Two Handed Weapons, Templar, Bererker Bethany-> Same trees as Mage Hawke Carver-> Same trees as Warrior Hawke Fenris-> Sword and Shield Weapons, Templar, Reaver Isabella-> Archery, Duelist, Shadow Merrill-> Creation, Blood Magic, Force Mage Varric-> Shadow, Duelist, Assassination Sebastian-> Dual Weapons, Assassination, Duelist QUICK NOTES Anders + Blood Magic = Probably not going to happen. Aveline + Devour = I don\'t think she is into that. Fenris + Berserker = Understandable but other three more so. Isabella + Assasinate = Hard to decide, 3 special = OP\'d. Merrill + Spirit Healer = I\'m sure demons love that stuff. Varric + Dual Weapons = Bianca hates to be replaced. Sebastian + Shadow = The guy wears Andrastes face on his crotch... He has nothing to hide. UPDATE Realized I forgot to add a talent change for Sebastian. I honestly never really used him much but I realize other people do so I uploaded a file with all the previous changes and his. You won\'t have to start a new game if you haven\'t already picked him up in your party I believe. I gave him dual weapons because it will give you a bit more freedom for your male rogues (two male rogues with bows would just be annoying to me). And honestly I didn\'t think Shadow overly suited him as a Prince, and that being said I gave him Duelist and Assassination to compliment his new-found dual weapon skills; seeing as his Companion Talent tree does enough for his marksman. Enjoy, and feel free to make any suggestions or give any feedback!
