Yes, it did! Thank you very much! :D

You are a blessing! Thank you for the help, patience and time. I really appreciate it. :D

Is there a specific place I should have the folder for the DAI tools suite?

I clicked download and it gave me a huge error message. Can it be fixed?

You probably have the wrong version. Here's the latest version: http://daitools.freeforums.org/latest-version-announcement-t1060.html You have to have DAI tools suite, as it's the only way to get the latest version of ModManager. When you have it downloaded, unzip it in its own folder and click the executable to start it. It should look like this: http://snag.gy/VPbvN.jpg I have that one now but still confused as how to use it properly. It's getting to be frustrating, to be honest. :confused:

What's the point of the DAI Tool Suite? I can't seem to figure it out. When I open it, it gives me some application error and is empty. There isn't an option that would let me click ModManager. Is it something that is required to use the Mods? Plus there is no launch button. There is a download all button, but no launch button. Then there is this error that I am getting from the ModManager: [9/30/2015 8:48 AM] Task failed. Error reported was: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Pretty much everything after installation. From where to put files or which folders to create for unzipping...the whole nine yards, so to speak. I have tried hunting down instruction videos but those were for prior to windows 8.1 computers. I would absolutely love to have a step by step list of instructions that wouldn't confuse the heck out of me. So, yes, I would love any help you can offer to help guide me through setting up and using the mods. Maybe if I can get through the instructions once or twice, I should be able to do it on my own. Fingers crossed on that idea. Would it be alright if I add you to my friends list in case I have questions?

My issue is pretty much the basic understanding of how to use it after it's installed. To me, it was like reading the instructions in a foreign language. Thank you for getting back with me on this, I would be really grateful if you could set this up for me when you find the time.

A while ago there was a modder that merged a bunch of files together for those of us who were having trouble with the ModManager. I am wondering if there is someone willing to merge a few files for me. Just a few cosmetic things is what I am looking for. This is basically what I am looking for: - Eyebrows 4 Women and Katherine Face Texture - Improved Lashes (Longest Fullest) - More Realistic Eyes - New and Improved Makeup For All (Makeup 2) - Human female long hair If there is someone who could please set this up for me, I would greatly appreciate any effort made.

Not bad? Loghain was insane. Rather than using any sensible thought, Loghain disagreed so much with Cailan's attempt at peace between Ferelden and Orlais that he went so far as turning his back on everyone during the battle of Ostagar. It was done on purpose. He blamed the Wardens and hired a crow assassin to kill them just to cover up his crime. He even went so far as to imprison Riordan, who was a fellow Ferelden. His hand was in the proverbial "cookie jar" when Highever Castle was attacked by Arl Howe and on top of that he sent an apostate blood mage to poison Arl Eamon. How is any of that justified? I'm with you fully, 100% on this one. There is no way I would ever betray Alistair by rewarding Loghain for his crimes and making him a Grey Warden. I always choose Alistair to duel Loghain at the Landsmeet so he can very thoroughly seperate Loghain's head from his shoulders without any prompting from me.

Also, both Loghain and Howe felt that the Couslands were traitors along with King Cailan because of Bryce Cousland's dealings with the Empress to help broker peace between the two countries. The attack on Highever Castle and the Cousland family was because of that, albeit also Howe's lust for more power.

I had no idea that Slim Couldry had elven blood. As I said though, I haven't read any of the books but the only other one (besides Goldanna's mother) I had ever heard of was Fiona. Eventually, I will get around to reading the books. I do, however, agree with Thandal on the fanfic of the books. I rather like the fact that my Warden and Warden Alistair just up and disappear together one day together. It's much better than giving him the crown, marrying him and then after some years just up and leave him like that. It's confusing trying to figure out the lines between the game and the books. Could be why I haven't been in too big of a hurry to read any of them. Interesting little tid-bits that I am learning in this post and it will be even more interesting to find out Alistair's true lineage when DA:I comes out.

Indeed. Hiring a crow to assassinate Cailan would definately been a better way to go and any growing trust towards Orlais would be completely diminished with just one or two bags of gold. Depending on the price. After all, Zevran does say that kings are assassinated frequently in Antiva. I haven't read any of the books but I have been wanting to find them at the local library. Her name is Fiona, by the way and there is much debate over whether or not she is in fact Alistair's true mother. I, personally, don't have a formed opinion over that subject except to say that anything is possible, considering that an Elf/Human child would resemble their human parentage and the fact that Fiona was a mage could account for Alistair's fascination with magic. But that's pretty much it as far as my thoughts go on the matter. On subject though, the writing by the developers does make a bit more sense and makes it more easier to understand why it would be that way.

True enough. For a Warden ''born and bred in Highever'', he has a remarkable accent that seems to fit Orlais rather than Ferelden. Unless the saying is true if someone were to spend enough time in a foreign country, they adopt their accent after a while. Though it would seem that it would need to be a very long while.

I am wondering something and I would like to hear your thoughts... Firstly, I wasn't sure if the ''Spoilers'' section was the right place or not but I decided to take a chance considering what I may say could be deemed ''spoiling'' it for others. At any rate, after so many play-throughs, I got to thinking and it occurred to me that if you were to compare the two brothers, they are quite a bit a like should you leave Alistair ''un-hardened'' and very much different if he is ''hardened''. Understandably, there is a bit of a difference when observing how much glory of the battle means to Cailan compared to Alistair who is pretty much out to do what is right rather than for the glory. Neither one of the two brothers really enjoy being in court and would prefer to be else-where. But if Alistair is hardened, then he would willingly take up the mantle and crown of the King which leaves me with the opinion that there was never anyone around to ''Harden'' Cailan, to prepare him for his seat on the throne after his father died. Sure, there was Loghain but as battle-hardened as he was, he didn't see fit to help his soon to be son-in-law. I am wondering why King Maric didn't either, considering that would have been one of his responsibilities as well as duties as Cailan's father and king. When you are given the option, as The Warden, you can either choose to respect Alistair's wishes and leave him unhardened to keep him where he is most happiest or you can choose to under-mine Alistair so he will take the throne on his own and still it isn't for the glory but because he feels he can actually ''do some good'' for his people. It's not any wonder that Anora had to do the majority of the ruling while Cailan was out seeking glory, but I can't help but wonder if Loghain had quite a bit to do with Cailan's lack of enthusiasm for the throne considering what it led to at Ostagar. The wiki says, and I quote "Cailan never found himself heavily involved in Ferelden's politics, and seemed satisfied about Anora dealing with the administrative aspects of government, as in his mind, a true king's duty was to unite his people against a common enemy." Maybe I am wrong, but I assumed that being involved in the politics is considered part of uniting people ''against a common enemy'' whether it be in the palace or on the battle-field. As much as I hate to agree with Loghain, he was correct when he referred to Cailan as ''a child wanting to play at war''. He spoke the truth of it and it was something I noticed too when I first began playing the game. Which leads me to believe that the reason Loghain turned his back at Ostagar was because he truely believed that he and Anora would be better ruling Ferelden with Cailan out of the picture. Personally, he could have come up with a better way to usurp Cailan from the throne rather than betray him the way he did. Sure, Cailan's dealings with the Empress had quite a bit to do with the betrayal but, again, Loghain could have figured out a better solution than deserting the King and the army. Though usurping Cailan would remove Anora from the throne as well, so perhaps Loghain felt there was no other choice but when he went as far as having Howe massacre the Cousland's and sending a mage assassin to kill Arl Eamon just to make sure there was no one to contest the throne was insane. He had to know that Alistair was Maric's son. Which leads me to this final thought... Any time that my Warden and Alistair ran into people sent by Loghain, it was always my Warden and not Alistair that was considered the threat against Loghain and his ambitions to rule Ferelden. In Lothering, Loghain's men said that it was my Warden and not Alistair that they were searching for and needed to arrest, maim or kill. In the Frostback mountains the bounty hunters say ''It's about time a warden showed up'' instead of wardens and in Denerim, the knight that stops my Warden and accuses her of killing Duncan, the rest of the wardens and King Cailan not both of them insists on dueling her because he felt she was at fault, not both her and Alistair. Even the Captain of the Guard in Denerim says it was her likeness that was shown to all the guards, not both of their's. Plus, Zevran says ''The Grey Warden dies here'' not Wardens. Loghain knew that Alistair was also a warden and that he was a Prince. So why is my Warden the only one recognized by these people looking to either kill her or arrest her? I never go anywhere without Alistair because with the right tactics set-up he is a superb tank. But I cannot understand why, when we are out and about running into all these accusers, Alistair is not recognized at a Grey Warden and Loghain's biggest threat to the throne.
