People who love the game as is simply don't have to install a remaster. So said guarantee is moot. It's not as if there is a flood of people still playing Dragon Age:Origins. ---- Agree with the whole culture of Bioware - and it's affected most AAA studios for that matter. But the concept stands, it's 2025 and the graphics were limited to 2009 standards. Not to mention it's limited to 32 bits, when the world has long since moved to 64 bit OS. ---- Hence my original point, the problem is trusting them. Trust can be a dirty 5 letter word.

Something like a resaver is the absolute last resort. Modders should be looking to mod/play their game where they don't have to rely on the absolute last resort. a) Test mods before you commit them to your load order b) Don't add or remove mods once you've started game play c) If your do decide to ignore b), then by the love of god back up your last good save file - and document the changes you made so you can revert back to it easily. And yes, you will lose whatever "progress" you made since you backed up that save - which is better than losing an entire play through.

The Stealth Boy is pretty much a byproduct of the early Chinese tech - not the later Chinese tech which was far superior. 2 minutes (real time) - that is an eternity and should be far beyond the capability of the tech. Ex. In two real time minutes one can get all the way through the Switchboard if they know where they are going - once they unlock the terminal. That level is pretty much OP for such crude tech.

Sometimes the easiest thing to do with exploits is: a) Be aware of the conditions of the exploit and the really, really hard part b) Don't do the exploit in the first place - which is a conscious choice once a) is established. Mods that are meant to protect you from yourself are arguably the worst mods you can ever install in a game. Especially games with a modding limit - which just become nothing but a wasted limited resource.

The Veilguard is probably a curse word on this forum. TBH, if there was one game that desperately needed a remaster it's Dragon Age: Origins. Lets be honest, few in this industry even know how to tell a story any more - but with a Remaster they don't have to touch the story anyway to modernize the game and breath new interest into a classic. Problem is trusting them to not break something that isn't broke. Hmmm, struggling with that one.

The issue with collections is you are essentially stuck with someone elses choices - 100%. Trying to add on to a collection (to change some of those choices) - might very well be as hard to deal with as making the collection in the first place. At the end of the day the average user doesn't have the knowledge to do that. ---- The USER has an awesome responsibility if they want to mod their game. It's a single player game, and they are the single player. Only they know what they want.

Finally, to answer the question some scripts add events/variables that are stored in the save file. There is such a thing as a Save File Cleaner - but lets be honest here, if you have to resort to that you have missed a serious learning curve to modding your game properly in the first place.

Added: That mod does it's magic by editing an .HKX file (animation) which is commonly also edited by other mods (i.e. Tactical Reload) Gunbehavior.HKX. At the end of the day, you need to understand what you are using and why. Two mods cannot both simultaneously edit the same file - one has to win. Mods that depend on the other will crack - since what they depend on isn't there. Added: The only way that mod would corrupt your game is if you also used a mod that depended on those edits to the .HKX - otherwise it shouldn't be an issue.

You really need to focus on another part of that message: "IF YOU UNINSTALL IT". You don't ever want to uninstall scripted mods from your game - EVER. That right there discounts his entire warning - as it's a warning of what NOT TO DO. ----- If you want to test a mod with an active save: a) Back up your current save file BEFORE saving anything played with that mod. b) Document along with that save why you made it. A simple .TXT file explaining I added X mod is more than enough. ----- TBH, I don't even do that. Once I start a game that I've settled on mods I intend to use - I don't add any more. I'll save mods for later use on a new play through - and test them before hand.

How many mods are you using?

I don't know how Vortex works, but with MO2 and the "artillery brackeing system" finding the source of the crash isn't all that hard or time consuming. ----- Artillery bracket system: If the first one is long, you intentionally fire the second one short - the target is between the two so the 3rd one is right on target. It's the reason you use 1 adjusting piece, once you are ready for shot #3 - you fire for effect the entire platoon/battery - you don't really need that 3rd adjusting shot - since the adjustment is so small you can easily dial it in with everyone. Translation: Remove 1/2 your mods - test. If the problem still exists - remove 1/2 more or what you tested with. Keep doing that until the problem goes away - then add back 1/2 of what you last removed. Rinse - repeat until you find the culprit. If the problem goes away immediately - you know it's NOT in the 1/2 you tested with - but the 1/2 you removed. If you put your mods into functional categories (easy to do in MO2 with categories) - you can essentially eliminate a large swath of mods before you even start doing that.

Hehe. "Krypto, take me home." Dogmeat can't even take you to what he's supposedly found - how's he gonna get you home?

Then just listen to some Traffic and cut your losses - can't go wrong there. Try some Forty Thousand Headsman - life is good at that point.

Only way to find out is to get to merging. I merged Remington NMA and Carabine, Colt Single Action Army and Toggle Revolver Fanning - Wild West Cowboy. Just watched a video on how to do it and listened to some vintage Traffic while I was doing it - turned out great. ----- You can't break anything so give it a go.

Just out of curiosity, how many mods are we talking about here?
