📋 About This Mod
Twinception
What it does
-
[]Twinception's main aim, for the duration of the five years it has been in development, has been to allow you to play the entire game with both siblings present, rather than one being arbitrarily killed off in the prologue based on your choice of class.
[
]However!! Twinception has been designed very specifically to be as reactive as possible to whatever outcome the player desires.[]The twins, if alive, should always appear as appropriate in their cameos in Acts 2-3, and be selectable in MotA and Legacy DLC.
[]The twins, if dead, should be spoken of fondly and seen and heard from no more.
[]The vast majority of erroneous references to Hawke's class or siblings' deaths have been removed, although there remain a few instances of, for example, Hawke being incorrectly called a mage, or family reminiscing fondly of a dead loved one while they stand in the same room.
[]You should be able to pick up a pre-existing playthrough without uninstalling the mod and run into few or no issues!
Birthright
-
[]The Birthright quest had to be altered more comprehensively than anything else in the game to function properly.
[
]Both armor upgrades and both gifts for Bethany and Carver will be received during the quest.[]You should run into no issues playing the quest from start to finish with the mod installed the entire time. However:
[]If you load a save where the quest was active before the mod was installed, and then try to complete the quest with the mod installed, you may run into unpredictable issues.
[]If you load a save where the quest was active while the mod was installed, and then try to complete the quest with the mod uninstalled, you may run into unpredictable issues.
The Deep Roads Expedition
-
[]You can take one twin of your choice on the Deep Roads Expedition, or you can leave them both behind.
[]You cannot take both twins on the Deep Roads Expedition, and if you attempt to select them both in the party picker, the mod will interrupt the game and force you to remove one of them from the party before you can proceed. Alas, the Expedition is not set up in a way that can handle multiple siblings present, nor are any of the subsequent base game warden cameos.
Legacy DLC
[]Legacy DLC has not yet been fully implemented.
[]You should be able to select both twins if appropriate, and they will both appear and participate in the introduction (if in the active party in act 1, or alive in act 2+).
