DLC Promo Item mod

[dekklinofdeath]

I've tried to get a hold of this mod's author:

but I was unable to. I was wondering if anyone would feel up to making a mod that included all DLC promo items, including the collectors pack items. I'm not asking for the items themselves, but something similar to what this fellow did, which is create a new item with the same stats. Unfortunately, he left some of these out, and/or hasn't updated them (eg: Bulwark of the true king).

I recently purchased the Ultimate pack which (I thought) included all DLC, but unfortunately, it did not include the promo items.

I also enjoyed the method in which the mod author delivers the DLC items. Rather than receiving some imbalanced items during character creation, you can purchase them from Bodahn.

 

Any thoughts? Thanks

While its not a bad idea or anything, not all of the DLC files can be opened in the toolset in order to find out the filenames for the icons used and stuff like that. I mean that while the stats could be looked up online some of the icons used, would have to be guessed at.

Like I said, some of the DLC files are locked with encryption, and can't be opened in the toolset. which limits access to the true resources for confirmation of what is used.

Also, the "Bulwark of the True King" is an ordinary DLC item (not a special "promo" one.) But you have to finish the DLC in question to "unlock it". At that point it is then available across all modules "from the start".

According to dragonage.wikia.com, it's a exclusive for an alienware give-away. It's not part of the DLC campaigns.

That would be incorrect. Received the Bulwark just fine after completing the appropriate adventure. I've never purchased any "special" DA components, just the retail DA:O and DA:A discs, then the in-game downloads of the DLC. :thumbsup:

 

(I don't even know what "alienware" is, except a marketing term Dell slaps on its laptops built for gaming...)

Alienware was a high end gaming computer manufacturer before they got bought up by Dell ;)

Bulwark of the King is a free downloadable DLC that can be obtained here: http://na.llnet.bioware.cdn.ea.com/u/p/eagames/bioware/dragonage/content/DAO_PRC_PROMO_BTK/DAO_PRC_PROMO_BTK_1.0.dazip

Ahhh, so it IS "DLC", but not "part of a DLC"? Wonder how I got it then?

 

Thinks back...

 

Must have been when I followed Fernando Melo's link on the BSN to the: "Player's Entitlements Page" (didn't know it existed until then!) in order to test the WH v1.1 self-installer for him. (Which failed, BTW. :laugh: )

Wiki says:

Bulwark of the True King is a promotional item from Alienware, however it can be installed manually by anyone.

 

I guess Bioware decided to give it to everyone once the promo was over. Bet that ticked off the Alienware people, not that overpaying for hardware didn't "alienate" them in the first place :whistling:
