DA2 Staves for Rook

INSTALLATION

Install with Frosty Mod Manager

Please refer to PinkyDude's How To Use Mods tutorial!

Replaces Rook's starter staff with different staves from Dragon Age 2.

THIS IS NOT ASSET IMPORT, THESE MESHES ARE IN THE GAME FILES. Thus I cannot add any other DA2 staves (at least until mesh editing becomes fully supported).

Optional Files include versions with Hawke's Armor as starter armor replacer together with the staves.

THIS MOD IS CURRENTLY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MODS THAT ALTER OUTFIT MESHES/MESH SWAPS (aka mods that also alter RootLevel) WITHOUT MANUAL INTERFERENCE. See: below. Coloring mods are not affected.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOD COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER MESH SWAP MODS.

VEILGUARD MODDING IS CURRENTLY IN ITS EARLY DAYS, USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

FAQ

"Why is the staff pitch black in the character menu/wardrobe?"

I don't know. However, it looks just fine elsewhere.

"I got the cutscene where Rook picks up their staff for the first time, it's still the default staff."

Wait until the cutscene finishes, the game is still calling for the original mesh. After that, you have your DA2 staff from there on.

My game crashes on save load, why is that?

As the new Frosty tool is currently in early development, there can be some issues with ebx mods in certain parts of the game.
