Mod roundup?

Been a while since we've had some of these, and a lot of fantastic mods have come out in the meantime.
So... let's share our mod lists.

And, to mix it up a bit, add one or two mods you WISH you could get (if only they existed).


So here's my mod list... I'm kind of an addict, I admit it.  I have tons of them. 

Mods that add new gameplay areas or companions

alley of murdurers
Baldur's Gate 2 Redux (I love this. So much.)
Dark Times
Temple of Vulak
Karma's Companions (adds multiple new companion options with new areas for each one's personal quest.  Biased, since I wrote a chunk of Jowan's dialogue for it)

Mods that fix bugs or change gameplay
Advanced quickbar
advanced tactics
Apprentice robes fix
auto-loot
awakening in the OC
Character respec addon
Dialogue Tweaks
Extra dog slot - lets you take the dog in the add-on slot where you would have a summoned creature normally
Faster 2H weapon
Innodil's Pocket Plane - party storage
Lock Bash
Loghain friendly eligible fix
Morrigan Restoration patch
mutator (eliminates sustained spell/talent effects and weapon rune effects)
No helmet hack
Skip the Fade (hells yes)
weapon drawn casting (for arcane warriors)
Zevran ASAP - get Zevran after Lothering.  Since Zevran is awesome, and more Zevran is more awesome
Zevring plus - fixes the ring glitch
Zevran dialogue fix

Romance mods, etc
Natural bodies and Clothed prisoners (to fix those embarrassing scenes)
Improved Romance Scenes Alistair
Alsitair First Night mod
rendezvous at the tavern
Zevran romance scenes (beta)
Alistair epilogues

Aesthetic mods:
Adonnay's Weapon Replacer (adds in more weapon styles for the default weapons so they're not recycled so often)
DA redesigned - (for the most part I just use the background character heads, since some of those... ouch.  Especially in Awakening)
Improved Atmosphere
feminized armor (I love this mod so much, heavy and massive armor looks a thousand times better on female characters with it)
JB Textures (just a better texture pack.  Hey, I got a new computer, I'm going to take advantage of it!)
more hairstyles
a whiter teeth mod (can't recall which, it just says "teeth" in the folder)
tucked hair
Pineappletree's eyes
Icons Project
It is actually VERY easy to combine multiple mods that change the character generator.  Just get this and it will do the work of combining the CharGenMorph files for you.

Item add ons:
andraste's weapons
armor of the sten
Armor of the Devout
Determination of Alistair armor
DLC-Merchandise (adds the preorder bonuses for, you know, the dozen stores I didn't preorder from)
Elvhenan Weapons
Fadeweaver (companion weapon to spellweaver for dual wielding arcane warriors)
Legacy of Sundown
Shadow Warden's Armor
Sword of Mercy
Courage of Zevran armor
Phoenix Armory
Witcher Armor
Underworld Armor
Universal Dye Kit
Wings of Velvet /Verdant Sonata

Mods I would love...

something that will change the default tower of ishal redshirts to rogue and warrior for a mage or mage and rogue for a warrior, so you can have someone in the party who lockpicks
Something to give you a random chance of returning to find Redcliffe destroyed by the demon if you go to the tower for help. Since really, bugging off for days should have CONSEQUENCES.

Hells lady, I'm surprised your computer doesn't break as soon as you start it up :). I have .. one mod installed. ONE. And I'm getting kind of sick of it, actually, so I think I'm going to take it out again (improved romance scenes for Alistair - there's only so many times I can be arsed watching pixel porn.

You know, [personal profile] telesilla and I have the same systems that are supposedly designed for gaming, and are about 2 years old. We can both play Aion, and City of Heroes on Ultra Mode, but we can't play DA on anything but the lowest setting, even without mods. I can't wait until we get our new machines on Wednesday.

no point watching pixel porn unless you also have the kingsicle addon for a bit of knob. I have Luchaire's sex scenes rather than the romance scenes if you want some new porn.

You know, my rig is... two years old now? I built it to be able to run a modded TES:Oblivion without breaking a sweat, and it handles DA like a charm, too.

I got really sick of the pixel porn, too. That, and the clipping. XD OHAI ZEV YOUR HAND IS IN MY BOOBS. OW.

Dark Times is so much fun!!! And the player camp is absolutely gorgeous!

I wish the modders would create some love scenes for the camp. There is one secluded section with a water pool that would be great for it.

Great list! (have most of it too :) )

THE mode I'd love to have is Zevran in Awakening :) as a joinable companion and all....

I have a lot of those.

I also like
Baelschorne (which is about the only good bow addon)
Dalish mage (cos you know it makes sense)
Blackblade drop fix (although they might have fixed that bug now?)
Openlock spell (because although I have lockbash, I'd rather use a spell as a mage)

I wish, really wish, there was a 'Skip the Deep Roads' that took me straight to Caradin. I don't mind the Fade at all :(

The Blackblade drop bug has not been fixed, and the devs have said that it won't be. We can pretty much assumed at this point that none of the remaining bugs in DAO/A are going to be fixed unless it's by modders.

[personal profile] elysium_fic 2010-12-06 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a mod-whore:

Armor mods:
Phoenix Armory
Dalish Ceremonial Armor (those who have read RCD will know where that comes in)
Shadow Warden Armor (for Zevran)
Armor of the Devout (Leliana)
Duncan's Armor (I was using this for Alistair until I got tired of the fact that it had no LOD for medium and far distances and so it looked weird as you approached him in camp)
No Helmet Hack
Armor of the Sten
The Winter Forge
Dexterity Light Armor (makes the required stat for light armor DEX rather than STR)


Body and Cosmetic Mods
Natural Bodies all-in-one for default characters
Nude Variety for PC/companion NPCs
(this resolves the problem of unwanted erections on certain NPCs without putting clothes that I don't necessarily feel are appropriate on them; I think the prisoners should be nude, or at least down to their smalls. I just don't think they should be quite so happy about it.)
Dragon Age Redesigned (mostly for companion faces)
More Hairstyles
White teeth
Misc companion morphs


Atmospheric Mods
Quiet nug (no squeaking nug in camp)
some mod that makes the dog in camp bark less
Mutator (get rid of visual effects and Shale's footsteps)
Extra Dog Slot, because my mabari is my faithful companion who does NOT remain behind in camp)


Cutscenes and Dialogue Fixes
Alistair's First Kiss
BSC medium
More Options At the Pearl
Morrigan Restoration Pack
Improved Romance Scenes (Alistair)
Zevran Dialog Fix
Dialog Tweaks
Zevran Romance Scenes
Mild Romance Scenes
Gatekisses
Royal Wedding Epilogue (if my machine can't handle this, I'm going to cry)
Polygamey (a necessity for my Riona playthrough)
Rendezvous at the Tavern


Combat and tactics:
Advanced Tactics
Full Combatant Dog (gives dog some warrior skills)
Power of Blood for All (you can't share Avernus' potion with Alistair? Really?)
Activate Tactics for selected NPC (takes over if you get distracted and forget to spam)


Random stuff:
Madd Gift Guide (adds a note on each gift item staying who it should go to or whether its generic)
GT Core Rules Fixpack (all sorts of stuff, the most useful of which is that it replaces AutoLoot with a much smoother looting system, IMO)
SKIP THE MUTHAFUCKIN' FADE

darkrose: (Default)

[personal profile] darkrose 2010-12-06 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Polygamey (a necessity for my Riona playthrough)

I had a problem with this one, because it borked my ending. I had dialogue repeating, some dialogue never happening, and I only got the Zev epilogue, even though he acted as though we were no longer involved at the coronation.

Power of Blood for All (you can't share Avernus' potion with Alistair? Really?)

This doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact that no one in your party says a word when you pick up a random vial in the demon-infested fortress and just drink it.

I just recently did a full reinstall of the game and my mods, and haven't put the no-underwear one back in or anything yet. I might not bother to.


Advanced Tactics

Auto Loot

Character Respec Addon

Circles-Be-Gone

Dark Times - I'm supposed to be writing for Act II but I can't get DT to work right so... ><;;

DA Modder

Dialogue Tweaks

Dusk Robes

Extra Dog Slot - I actually have Dog un-summoned most of the time and will probably uninstall this one at least for a while. He takes up a "reaction" slot when stuff happens, and I haven't seen everyone's reactions to things enough to like that yet, lol.

GateKisses, Kisses, and Zevran Kisses

Grey Warden Runic Armor - Probably removing this, it was for Alley's game but she doesn't even wear it anymore.

Lock Bash

No Helmet Hack

Shadow Warden's Armor

Skip The Fade

ZevranASAP

Zevran Dialogue Fix - A MUST for anyone romancing him IMO. His at-the-gate dialogue doesn't even fire right for 95% of people without it. Think he sounds a touch standofish to a Warden who romanced him? You're probably getting his friend dialogue tree...

ZevRing - Also a must. It fixes a glitch as well as giving you an object that carries on into Awakening instead of vanishing mysteriously like Zev himself does, never to be seen again.

[personal profile] twist_shimmy 2010-12-06 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
*sighs*

You've made me admit it: I am on the verge of starting a full Loghain romance mod. Not just to sex-up and kiss, but with new dialogue options, etc. where you actually get to seduce the man.

(Faolan demands it, you see. And what Faolan wants....)

argh, late to the party, but FFFFF. I've been trying to find a mod for just such a thing, and GUH.

I recruited Loghain to be my noble's toy, not a grumpy camp ornament. *sulks*

I...I am boggled by the sheer number.

I have

Skip the Fade
Extra Dog Slot
Equal Love
Pineappletree's Vibrant Colors
Anyone can marry Alistair


And I did have a short little list of mods I'd like to have, but looking at the epic list of mods people have installed, I think I'd better check to be sure they don't exist first.

Also, I think I'll be doing a lot of downloads in the next few days.... And possibly coming back here and asking some questions about some of them. :)

[personal profile] klarabella 2010-12-06 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
slinks s3 RAVAge (adding random encounters and loot to the game)
FtG UI Mod (more readable fonts and UI)
tmcgeesdca: The real Zevran Arainai. (Default)

Whiter Teeth Mod doesn't play nice with others

[personal profile] tmcgeesdca 2010-12-08 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Just a warning. If you download a morph or preset file, like mine, and they were not created with Whiter Teeth, they will fail in game. Mine were not created with that mod, so if you want mine, don't have Whiter Teeth installed.

Most morph and preset modders do not use the mod and you will have issues. At least the last I read on that mods site.
