Expanded Party System

UPDATE Version 1. 1a fixes a bug that prevented Tallis (and consequently rest of MoTA) from functioning.

---

This mods expands DA2's party system by adding several quality-of-life features to keep you immersed in the game, not party bookkeeping. At its core, this is a mod that fully opens up equipment slots for companions. It also contains other components, most which can be used independently or with another party equipment mod that you prefer.

Installation 1. Unzip into /override 2. Delete components, if any, that you don't want to use. "GT Party - Outfit Update" cannot be used independently, but other components can. 3. If you've retained the main component "GT Party", run the console commands "runscript gtparty repair" and optionally, "runscript gtparty install" to install quickbuttons.

Components

GT Party.erf This component fully opens up all equipment slots for companions. Companion armor becomes a chest armor that when worn, will give your companions their default appearance. This component by itself DOES NOT integrate fully into the various plot appearance upgrades: you may receive your companion's secondary appearance armor in your inventory and could have both available at the same time. Removing all armor will cause all companions EXCEPT VARRIC to use their nude appearance. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you download "DFA - Armors for All" from Diversified Follower Armors if you wish to see Fenris and Merrill in equipped armor appearances. Only download the Armors for All component and nothing else if you are using the main portion of this mod.

This component includes a script that can be run with three options: runscript gtparty repair - Run this first upon a fresh installation, and any time you see glitches to your companion's appearance. It will fix items equipped in invisible slots and set up your companions to be compatible with the "GT Party - Outfit Update" component.

runscript gtparty toggle - Run this to toggle & lock the currently selected companion's appearance to their default. While this toggle is on, companions can continue to equip items in all slots, but will retain their default appearance. If you choose not to install "DFA - Armors for All" you can keep Fenris and Merrill toggled to their default appearances. * NOTE: You can also run this while Hawke is selected. It will cycle through three out-of-combat running speed levels - default, +50%, +100%.

runscript gtparty install - Run this to install quickbuttons to your quickbar that will toggle companion appearances (as well as toggle Hawke's runspeed). The toggle button will be installed into your right-most free slot. If you do not have any slots free, you can find th
