Make "Strange Wood" encounter more likely?

[SirOccam]

I know next to nothing about the toolset or if something like this is even possible, but I have never been able to do the "Strange Wood" world map encounter even once. This is the one where a sword is stuck in a stump and "awestruck villagers" are standing around it. I've spent hours overall trying to get this to trigger, to no avail.

 

Could a mod tweak the likelihood of this scene triggering? Or perhaps even make a point on the map so someone could go there deliberately?

From the Wiki

This encounter has only ever been noted to appear while travelling to, or within the forest areas not away from it. (Between Denerim and the Brecilian Outskirts.)

 

One could always just travel back and forth until it happens. As far as it not happening, I have played this game through many times and didn't even know it existed until you mentioned it and I looked it up.

 

Dragon Age Mutator 014 makes a change to the random travel encounter:

Rare random travel encounters are more likely to happen

There are a few random travel encounters, that are quite rare to happen. For example, in my first playthrough, I saw not one of them. So, this mod raises the chance significantly.

I have used it for a while and still not seen the strange wood encounter :confused: Must be extra rare...
