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, I was browsing the forums at Nexus and came across a post asking for situationally appropriate erect/flaccid male nude models, and someone replying to it suggested this:

Nude variety v4

Apparently if you use Natural Bodies all-in-one and select flaccid models for the default males of all races, this mod will allow you to choose erect models for when it is appropriate, the only exception being when you strip a character in-game while changing armor or whatever.

Very cool.

Check out this brief interview from the modder and theres even a screenshot of an armor set he is working on for males that is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

This is only barely DA related but damnit, it's the spiritual successor to BG, so it fits!

Anyone else LOVE the Baldur's Gate 2 in DA engine mod?

If you haven't tried it yet... go. Now! You know you will be so much happier with Minsc and Boo in your life once more. Don't even try and deny it.

Only the Irenicus dungeon is done so far, but it's fantastic. I guess for the rest they're thinking of having it pull the sound files right from BG2 so you'll need a legit copy to run it, just to keep it on the up and up. One of the creators also posted to BSN looking for voice actors for all the unvoiced lines from the original game, should that be your thing.

I'm a huge BG2 fan, so I was thrilled with this. (Even more thrilled when BG2 was finally added to gog.com, though. Nice that the work of getting it to run on Win 7 is already done. I admit it, I'd rather pay them $9 than deal with the hassle of finding my disks I haven't seen in a decade and trying to get it working myself.)

Just tried out a playable mod called Dark Times ACT I and its as professional as the DLC they sold.  It has well over four hours of playable content that blends perfectly with the game. They even used voices from the game as well as their own voice acting.

And I can honestly say their voice acting is pretty decent. Its a very interesting story they developed too.  

These modders spent seven months on this so please consider trying it when you can. Its really fun!

I don't want to spoil it by posting the youtube but it made me teary. Its exceptionally well done and very poignant.


Here's the link to download.

I can't be the only one!
Right?
Right?

Anyways... there is a mod that allows you to recruit him in Redcliffe (like the original plan had been).
He's got a personal quest, unique gifts, can teach you blood magic, and he's romanceabe by female characters.

I'm not the modder, but I am rewriting/massively expanding on all his dialogue for her. There aren't many conversations at all now, and what is there often has only one player response. I've rewritten all that's there (she hasn't uploaded it, though), and I'm currently working on the personality-change options for after his personal quest, like you can do with Leliana and Alistair (IE: guilt is hot.  keep on with that.  VS Dude, time to man up and be a badass blood mage)

So, I was wondering if my fellow Jowan fans (who I refuse to believe don't exist!) have any thoughts as to what they would want to have, discussion wise, in such a mod.  I've got quite a few ideas I'm working on now, but I am a total whore for an audience, so I'll gladly write to please others.  (hey, at least I'm honest).

Also, if this mod speaks to you and you are the sort who can do cutscenes and whatnot, I know she needs help with that as well.Mod in action pic behind cut... )

This discussion topic is, sadly, mostly geared toward the PC gamers among us, but those of you who play on console/don't mod (stares at [personal profile] lenna_nightrunner) might still be able to answer the second part.
  • What is your favorite Dragon Age mod? You can only pick one, sadly. And tell us why. :3 And post screenshots if you'd like.
  • What is a mod you wish existed?
  • Bonus: What is a mod that you wished was actual game functionality? (Read: it's so good BioWare should have done it themselves.)




For me, Extra Dog Slot is my fave mod. It lets me bring Dog around with my party as a summon of the Warden. Yes, this ups the party from four to five members, but I have a difficulty mod installed, too, and play on hard, so it hasn't exactly made the game an overpowered cakewalk for me (Overpowered cake would taste AWESOME oh fsck I need coffee). I like it because it feels more immersive, and because, as another one of our members put it a few posts ago, "he's my faithful hound, damnit!"

As for mods I wish existed? Skip the Fade exists. My life would be perfect if Skip the Deep Roads did, too. Have considered making it myself, but I have no time to mod right now.

My main/first character was an entirely ranged Dalish, and I died so many times in the Fade and Provings that I almost quit the game. I installed a mod that tweaks cooldowns/alters damage/fire speed to make archery more powerful, and now it feels like the specialization isn't utterly handicapped. I wish I hadn't needed a mod to go full archer without crippling my party, because I love ranged classes, but there it is.

Dragonmod here!

I'm not dead! Expect a bit of maintenance happening behind the scenes, as well as a post I've been meaning to get live for a while coming soon.

For the record, we're no longer considering DLC spoilerrific, especially now that we're in the dry spell between DLCs and the new DA game.

Thanks darlings!
