LordSpawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hey guys. This game is pure gold. Now i'm new to using mods and I was wondering if anyone can suggest any mods that could add to this wonderful experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amycus Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hi and welcome to the nexus :) The top 100 mod list would probably be a good place to start. You can sort it to only show the most popular armor, weapons and gameplay mods, etc:http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/top/alltime.php You can also check the "mod of the month" list here:http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/filesofthemonth.php Otherwise, here are some of my favorite mods:More hairstyles Adds new hairstyles (duh!) Runic armor Adds a new good-looking armor set. Skip the fade Skips the fade, while still letting you get all the loot from that place.. Nothing you want on your first playthrough, but most of us got tired of that part after the 3rd playthrough. Extra dog slot Allows you to have 3 companions + the dog during your questing. DAModder Software that allows for quicker and easier mod install than DAupdater. Lock bash Allows you to open locked containers without having a rogue in the party. However, there is a chance that you will destroy the loot in the process. According to the author thwas already among the gamefiles, but Bioware inactivated it in the final game. UDK Allows you to tint (change the colour) of your armor and weapons in-game whenever you want. And finally, some shameless advertising for my own mods that can be found in my signature... :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You might also see this thread: Good mods - Opinions. It's a little out of date, (there are some newer mods I might recommend which are not listed) but it gives you several well thought-out perspectives about types of mods to use. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SvK151 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Depending on how crazy you are about symmetry (like me) you can check out a mod I made back in 2010. I don't think its on the top 100 list or any of the other links shown. It replaces the mesh for massive armor with symmetrical versions of your choice. http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=836 Edited February 25, 2012 by SvK151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue7E Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Here's a list of mods I use in each game. I'm not linking them (too many). You can simply search for these mods by typing in the DANexus Search field. Party NPCs[/b] Advanced Tactics: very useful; learning how to use tactics is very beneficial to assigning certain actions to your party members including the main char Alistair Dialog Patch: what it says Character Respecialization: don't like the stats/skills/etc of your main char or party NPC(s)? Then find a stationary crow (there's one in camp) and change them Dialogue Tweaks: essential; also allows Leliana to repeat her camp fire song "In Uthenera" Expanded Inventory: 125 items Extended Dog Talents: nice upgrade for what your dog (Mabari Hound) can now do Extra Dog Slot: allows your dog to be taken along as a 5th team member; very useful Full Combatant Dog: meaner and nastier; a real warrior Less Barking Dog: less irritating dog in camp Less Blood: what it syas Mabari Wares: Upgraded armor for your dog Resized Shale: bigger, more imposing Shale Retextured HD: better textures; more rock-like Extended Shale Talents: more skills for the giant Face Morphs (Changing faces of Party NPCs - some of my favorite .mor files) A Better Wynne: younger, prettier (I guess the elder is using vanity magic to change her appearance) Alistair Face Morph: the one created by Tori Alternate Sten Face: darker face, corn roll hair Elegant and Seductive Leliana: I use the Long Sacred Ashes Hair option (IMO the most beautiful Leliana face mod) Flemeth the Witch: Morrigan's mother; much more ancient appearance New Appearance - Morrigan: (IMO the most beautiful Morrigan face mod) General Population NPCs (Your char & party members, too) Elf Female Proportions Fix: now your female Elves won't look like linebackers from the waist up (like men, as originally designed) Human Female Proportions Fix: now your female Humans won't look like linebackers from the waist up (like men, as originally designed) Natural Bodies All in One: allows body parts to be resized, textured, etc, by clicking on selections you want My mod list keeps on going. It's too long to include everything here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
