I'm all for using those instead, if folks can point me to them. If you want a change to combat, Dragon Age Reborn has been a lot of fun. From dialogue to items to quests, it covers so much. It's possible that there are now actually better mods that do the same as the above, only improved from the ones I had. Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack fixes a number of bugs in the game. The one that added a Raven in various locations in the game, including the campsite, that would unlock specializations, and also offered a potion that let you respec (though I think it only offered that once, and it would sure be nice to have unlimited ability to respec) The No Helmet one (it used to put a 'No Helmet Rulebook' in your inventory) One that fixed some bugs with Alistair's dialogue One where you got special romance-centric jewelry (with spiffy stats) for Alistair and your female PC - the PC got a ring, and Alistair had a locket. NEW: Edited some origin scripts to make various dwarven quests accept helmets in cloak. The helmets are visible on the paperdoll for comparison. Each character maintains their own setting.

The bad news is that all of the mods for my DAO game poofed somehow (alone with my game saves, but I'm actually less concerned about those as I already intended to do full replays in preparation for DA3) when I got everything installed and such. This module hides helmets from view by placing helmets in the cloak slot.

So, the good news is that I have a brand-new computer.
