LadyHonor Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 So tonight, I did a dazip for a mod I've been working on since a time when dirt was new to send to my testers so they could see Miss Tinimaus' beautiful cutscenes in game....and well....My largest mod to date is Enchanting Mementoes and it's only about 30 meg....but this one is over 300 and we still have most of the dialog/voice overs to do. lol So far, there are 16 new areas....ten of them are in Highever. Since Tinimaus has come on board, I'm getting excited. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 "Wow" is right! Can't wait to see it when you're ready to release. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwinn Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Seeing as how I'm pretty much still a forum noob - got a link to a description of what you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHonor Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Lol I'm talking a mod I have been working on off and for 4 years and it's finally almost finished. Yay! And yes, I have dozens of links to show some of the content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHonor Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 here are a few. the first two are captures of me running around in the game. i'm the short red head. lol the others are cutscenes Tinimaus has done to show off the areas. The last one is an in-game capture when you first enter the city of Highever (it's also the best). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwinn Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 That is freaking stunning. Seriously. Superior to most *professional* work I've seen done. Impossible to extend sufficient kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHonor Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Aww thank you. :) Tinimaus is gifted though. The young lady can even make cheese interesting (she'll understand that lol) and her cinematics are what make it. Truly. I hadn't planned on having any of that because I have absolutely zero talent for that. But she and I got to chatting back and forth and she offered and I jumped on it. lol There are some cutscenes she has made for it that are unbelievably professional that I want sooooooo bad to let her show off, but I hate to give EVERYTHING away before we even release it. lol BTW we are looking for volunteers. lol I've worked on this monster for longer than I care to admit and I'm ready to move on to something else.

ladyvoldything Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Ooooh, what's the mod about?? Give us a hint, it'll get us even more excited for when it comes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyHonor Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Well, it's no big secret really. Screenshots, video, and descriptions are pretty much already all over the place around here. lol Basically, it extends the human noble origin. Instead of being limited to just the castle, it adds several new areas to quest in and explore. It assumes a few things that should be rather obvious. 1. You are either a warrior or a rogue and as the child of the teyrn, it assumes you've received excellent military training. Your father, after all, is confident enough in your abilities to leave you in charge. So, it assumes you serve in your father's army in some capacity. Since you are not marching with the army to Ostagar, this mod puts you assisting Highever's city guard. 2. It also assumes you have a more interesting life than simply delivering messages to your brother and keeping your dog out of trouble. You have duties. So, after you have done as your father requested and have collected Dog, the double doors in the castle courtyard become active giving you access to the city of Highever. 3. Because Howe is willing to the risk the king's and other nobles' of Ferelden's wrath, Highever is a city worth fighting for. So, it's big....really big. lol According to the codex entry, the Cousland family is second in power only to the king. So, Highever is kind of a big deal. 4. It also stands to reason, since Highever is your home and you have lived there all your life, you have formed relationships. You've made friends. You've formed a reputation. Just what exactly that reputation is, is dependent on how you respond to certain things. You have formed relationships. You may have even been in love. So you get four followers (temporary for now, but hopefully we'll get them extended into the rest of the game soon after releasing Highever) who help you as you quest around the city. I guess the main purpose of the mod is to show just how much the human noble pc lost when Howe betrayed his/her family. Plus I had a whole lot of pretty levels I wanted to use. lol So....I've used them. One of my testers put it best in what we're trying to accomplish here....after he played through it the first time, this was his response: "The whole mod makes me feel like I'm part of something bigger but at the same time how small I am in compersion. I felt like I was actually given a great responsibility not just "watch over the castle son" and nothing happens." I save that quote to encourage me to keep on with this on the days I really feel like quitting. There was a bit more to it than that, but it would give too much away to paste it. lol A lot has already been revealed in the cutscenes Tinimaus has made and posted on her youtube. It's not as much fun playing it if you know *everything* that is about to happen. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
