Rational Resistances

Humanoid opponents in DA2 are subject to the most random, nonsensical elemental resistances possible. This isn\'t a huge issue on lower difficulties, but on Nightmare, when all resistances become immunities, you end up with completely ludicrous stuff like qunari being immune to fire despite burning to death in two separate cutscenes, or mundane human guardsmen being mysteriously impervious to magical ice. This mod corrects that error by removing every resistance and vulnerability that doesn\'t make sense. It also alters several creature types to better match their DA:O counterparts, to reduce the lore whiplash of switching between games. Do note I make no claims as to the impact of this mod on game balance. (This list is comprehensive, but not detailed; for a summary of unchanged traits as well - did you know Templars have magic resist? - and the reasoning behind each change, consult the text file in the zip.)
