✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a subtle animation swap.
- Fresh update (Aug 2025) means it's likely compatible with current game patches.
- 57 endorsements from a niche audience—solid for such a specific tweak.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects facial animations while holding a weapon—if you wanted more variety, this isn't it.
- Low download count (940) means limited community feedback if issues arise.
For Dragon Age: The Veilguard players who find Rook's combat grimace too intense and want a calmer look during gameplay. Skip if you're after major animation overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a simple file swap, back up your original animation files before replacing them.

- If the mod doesn't work after installing, verify your game version matches the mod's update date.
