📋 About This Mod
There are three versions of this mod included in the zip: apr_base_runspeed_all.gda - This doubles your movement speed (to 12) both in and out of combat. apr_base_runspeed_combat.gda - This doubles your movement speed (to 12) only OUT of combat. apr_base_runspeed_half.gda - This increases your movement speed by 50% (to 9)only OUT of combat. ===> Compatible with other mods that alter apr_base.gda Remember mod authors: when you make changes to a .gda file you only need to share a file that includes the lines you changed. That way, your mod is compatible with other mods that change the same file. That is why this mod is compatible with other apr_base.gda changing mods (like those that alter your mabari hound).
Faster Runspeed is a simple gameplay mod for Dragon Age: Origins that increases your movement speed from the base 6 to either 9 or 12, depending on which file you install. It's designed to be compatible with other mods that alter apr_base.gda, making it a flexible choice for players who want faster travel without breaking other tweaks.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,165 endorsements and over 50k downloads — clearly a go-to for faster movement.
- Two speed options (9 or 12) let you dial in the pace you want without going overboard.
- Designed to play nice with other mods that touch apr_base.gda, so you can stack it with your other tweaks.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 — might have issues with newer versions of the game or mods that also edit apr_base.gda in unexpected ways.
- No documentation on how the speed increase affects game balance — you might outrun enemies or break scripted sequences.
- Only affects movement speed, not sprint or combat speed, so it's a one-trick pony.
For Dragon Age: Origins players who are tired of slow walking across the map and want a simple, no-frills speed boost. Great for those who already use other mods that edit apr_base.gda and want a compatible option. Skip if you're looking for a more comprehensive movement overhaul or if you're playing on a version where this mod might be outdated.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the chosen .gda file directly into your Dragon Age: Origins override folder (usually Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override) — no mod manager needed.
- If you have other mods that edit apr_base.gda, make sure to only have one version of that file active to avoid conflicts.
- Test the speed in a safe area first to see if 12 is too fast for your liking — you can always switch to the 9 version.
