File tags for DragonAge Nexus

[Sync182]

I did post this idea in another thread (I think) - if I did, I can't remember which thread it was, and it was buried way down.

 

So...here goes.

 

With the file tags introduced on the Nexus sites (in this specific case, dragonagenexus), can an extra tag, or series of tags, be made so that we can quickly identify which version of DA the mod is for?

 

eg:

• DragonAge:Origins
  
• DragonAge:Awakening
  
• DragonAge2

Sure

 

I added Origins and 2 but I'm not sure about Awakening since it is not a standalone game.

There are several elements that are unique to Awakenings both in terms of what works in it, and what USED to work in Origins but now doesn't, so new mods had to be created. Having a way to tag mods that are specific for it is a good idea, especially since they often will NOT work in DA:O.

It is run by the same game engine, but it is a standalone adventure. The only thing that it really has in common is that it allows you to import a savegame.

Myself, I would see it as beneficial to have a flag for it to be awakening. As well as the flags for DA2 and DAO.

Perhaps also one for Leliana's Song, Witch Hunt, and And Darkspawn Chronicles too. Since those DLC's use different names for morphs and have different characters in them than DAO DA2 or DAA.
