📋 About This Mod
This is one the reasons I got into modding, removing that blasted neck guard. While I know it makes sense... wait, looking at it again, it doesn\'t even make sense. It\'s way lower than the neck area. An arrow could still pierce Hawke\'s neck with no problem. Right. So anyway, with this mod it\'s gone. If you like it, try my other mod that removes the half-cloak from the armor :D http://dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2628 I used the same technique from my other mod that removes the Half-cloak from the Mage Champion armor, making the offending piece invisible. Unfortunately this was actually part of the armor, not a separate file like the cloak, so I didn\'t manage to clean it up completely. There\'s some left over textures that can be seen from certain angles, but they\'re small and don\'t really bother (at least in my opinion). I will attempt to clean the mod up a bit more as time passes. The images show both this mod and my No Champion Mage Cloak working simultaneously. Compatibility: This mod IS compatible with my No Champion Mage Cloak mod but it is not compatible with any other retextures of this armor, since it edits the main texture file.
