koseysudell Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I was thinking of a mod to have Leske as a companion only available to a Brosca. Namely, full implementation into the campaign, with party banter, reactions to where he is, voiced dialogue, and generally showing his character growth after leaving Dust Town. We'd have to alter the dialogue of everyone who referred to Brosca and Alistair as the last two Wardens in Ferelden; Leske is a member of the Grey Wardens in this mod. Will replace Leske with an OC casteless dwarf who knew them back in Orzammar; Leske isn't going to be a character that Warden Brosca wants to leave behind at camp. Also planning for Leske to be a "romance option" of sorts for both F!Brosca and M!Brosca; however, it's going to be hard to get him if you're playing a man, since the two of you each think the other is straight-as-a-really-straight-thing. Would need a voice actor who isn't uncomfortable with the idea of bisexual Leske. Aside from that, I plan for the mod to have a compelling storyline. If anyone's interested, we can work on it; I don't have the toolset, but can write dialogue/test the mod out/brainstorm story ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danscott84 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Interesting. I would only point to anyone attempting this to remember that in most cases Leske betrays you in Orzammar. (He can side with you depending on your choices, but is still killed by Jarvia) So if you make this work, remember that you will also need to take him out of the script when you return to face Jarvia.

I was already planning on taking him out of the Jarvia-script and replacing him with someone else for this mod. No Leske in the Jarvia-script, and removal of all dialogue references to him siding with/working for Jarvia. Since he wouldn't have been there to join up with her in the first place if he's with Brosca on the surface. Leske mentioned having a sister, so I'll have her betray the duo out of jealousy that her brother got to go to the surface and become a Warden, and she was stuck in Dust Town's carta. I'll have to voice-over Leske's lines with those of the VA willing to do his sister. She'll have similar ones, but she's not much like her brother. Different dialogues initiate based on if Brosca is male, female, friends with Leske, friends-with-benefits with Leske, in a relationship with Leske, and unfriendly with Leske. Will also need a name for Leske's sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koseysudell Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Why would I forget the acute betrayal known as Leske working for Jarvia? I've beat the game several times with Broscas, and know the betrayal well. I've never tried to make a mod for this game before; I am, however, a quick learner who doesn't have a problem with getting tutorials on making temporary companions into full companions/Wardens. Will also PM game writers for information about Leske that I can use in the mod. As for cutscenes involving him, I'd have to add him to the cutscene where Warden Brosca first drinks darkspawn blood, and show the same effect happening to Leske. Essentially, I'm planning it so that Leske and Brosca think of themselves as a team, and position him in the cutscenes accordingly. Also will animate some "romance" cutscenes with Leske. They're based on gender of Brosca, and will be rather different because of that. Example being that Leske's far more comfortable making the first move on a female Brosca, but male Brosca has to surprise Leske and make the first move himself. Mod is not intended to be like bad slash/homoerotic fanfiction, even though it includes a Leske/M!Brosca romance; am aspiring to do more than that with these characters, and Leske's bisexuality in mod strikes me as being truer to the character than making him straight or gay. Am thinking of starting Leske with 85 approval of Brosca, due to their specific history together. Said character is only recruitable for Broscas, due to plans for companion to be around for full story. Specific approval goes up and down based on dialogue options, acceptance/rebuttal of advances, choices in the main story, gifts given to him, and sidequests that are chosen. So it's actually easier to get Leske up to 100 approval than getting Zevran up to 100 approval. Which makes since, given that Leske and Brosca are old friends. But if Zev tries to iniate a relationship with Brosca, Leske's going to be jealous. Very, very jealous. In fact, this is one of the "triggers" for him making advances on Brosca.

ElbyDreamer Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 By the paragons!That's the best idea for a mod I've ever heard of! :D I don't know anything about creating mods myself... so I won't be of much help in this... But I just wanted to say that the idea is so very intriguing and I can't wqit to see how it turns out! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathLake Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Wow that sounds great koseysudell. I was royally piffed off when Leske betrayed my male warden, even if my warden is not going any romance with ANY of the companions don't mean I would not jump at the chance to actually see Leske survive and join with him. Awesome idea, I hope you get this Mod to work (no pressure) as soon as you can. With that possibility I won't delete my male Dwarf out of anger over that betrayal. Unfortuantly I am not very savvy with computer lingo or such but at times I do come up with a good idea or such. Like in doing this perhaps the two could have a kind of 'uniform' they had put together during their time in the carta nothing fancy just same type of style and weapons... but that would prolly be too much work. Let me know how it goes and if/when it gets to be added to the nexus mod list Pleaseeeee. I am also willing to attempt to d/l it and do a test run or two for you is ya need. Good luck and here's to hoping that it is a successful venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prinesspi13 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I hope this is being worked on. Leske was one of my favorites and I love this mod that would make him a companion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
