Just wondering if anyone can make a more slender smaller frame mod for females in dragon age 2 yet. Seems all the females ( except elves) of course seem to be all amazonian body types. I am sure for many guys out there they like having super hero big breasted women every where but I am looking for something more realistic.

In Origins they had a mod to have smaller breast sizes and slender body frame for females. what about dragon age 2?

@Zerican32;

I think your eyes were fooling you for DAO.

The Eclipse game engine (used in both DAO and DA2) does not have a seperate "body model", over which armour, robes, clothing etc., is "worn". What you see *is* the body model, divided into "head", "torso,", "arms", "hands", "legs", and "feet". Every single character who's appearance you (as the Player) can modify in-game is composed of those elements. Although DA2 makes some changes in the Companion models to prevent changing their armours, and DAO does the same with Mage robes. (Ever try changing Morrigan's boots? You can do it, but you can't see it. )

So there isn't any "slim female" model except as someone has created an entire replacement. All the nude mods (pornstar to petite) replace the appropriate elements of a character. But as soon as they put anything "on", that model replaces the nude one. Some of the best known situations are:

The "Pregnant" body model. She's well along when nude, but not even showing when clothed. (Especially noticable when switching to Dalish Female armour with its bare midriff!)

The "Slender" armour series. Works great if you want to wear one of those particular armours. But wear anything else and it's back to the default cup-size.

So to accomplish what you're asking means the modder has to develop a new "toso" model for each item worn. A labour of love, to be sure.

(And judging from the number of people who have done so in the opposite direction, we know where most of that love is concentrated... )

Yeah I know all that. Thats why im requesting one for Dragon Age 2. I dont care about looking at nude characters in a video game. I just like to see a slender body option in game. My character would look more like me instead of some hyped up geeks sex fantasy is all im saying. There are petite women out there you know who do like to play rpgs just as much as the guys do.

if you go back to my video of alistar wedding you can see that the female in that video is actually a lot slimmer than the original files for dragon age origins with clothes or without. I didnt down load a nude patch to get it like that. they had options in nexus for A AA B cups and they stayed that way with clothes on.

Sounds like the modder who designed the wedding scene created three separate models (A AA B) of the gown. As I said, a labour of love. Multiply that effort times every possible item to be worn on the torso, times the range of "preferred" bodies, and you see why few bother. (Although I agree that it's easier in DA2 since the PC can be of only one race, not three!)

As an experiment, I invite you to use NB to modify Morrigan's appearance. Deliberately select one of the exaggerated nude models, then put her robes back on. The contrast is striking! (I use this example because Morrigan's robes provide both minimum deformation and maximum visibility, but the same effect can be observed with almost any female character who's clothing can be changed.)

No thanks. Its simple. I am asking for some one to create a similar mod for Dragon age 2 in the Mod request forums. I do not know why you insist on arguing about my request. I have no desire to argue about what you think or what can or cant happen. This is a request of mine and I dont understand why my request has anything to do with your opinion. Please stop. thanks.
