Import Ohgren's Approval rating to Awakenings

[GothicElf04]

I could swear that just about a month ago, while browsing companion files on the nexus, I found a mod that Imported Oghren's Approval rating from DAO to Awakenings with a saved game. I failed to download it at the time, thinking I would come back and get it later. Now I am looking for it and have spent half the day trying to find it, to no avail. I KNOW I saw this mod. Does anyone happen to have it or have seen it and remember the name or the location?

 

I need this mod to do his personal quest in DA:A; it is very difficult to get his approval rating high enough to do his personal quest (I've had it offered, but never managed to get his approval rating to the point where I can actually complete it.) Honestly, I do not get why his approval rating does not import from Origins to begin with, especially since the fact that one has given him a gift (and thus lower approval gains for giving them!)

 

If anyone has seen the mod I am referring to, or knows of another fix to the problem, would you please be kind enough to message me?

 

EDIT: I found the mod I was looking for. It is called Bye Oghren and restores the scene in which he asks the Warden if he can join his company. There is an Awakenings specific file in the mod, as an optional mod.

You could use a GFF Editor and edit your savegame.das
Expand SAVEGAME_PARTYLIST
Then SAVEGAME_PARTY_APPROVAL_LIST
I think Oghren would be number 2
Highlight the Approval level and edit it down the bottom.
Then edit the Approval TlkString. 371488 (I think is Like or Warm) & 394168 is Love.
Then click Save.

Or you could use Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack v3.4. :thumbsup:

Thank you both for responding. It is appreciated. The fix pack sounds simpler, thus I will attempt that first.

I actually don't import Oghren's approval into Awakening. I do fix a related bug though. You know how the first gift specific to a follower gives 10 approval, then 9, then 8 etc? Oghren's approval didn't import to Awakenings, but the variable tracking how many gifts you'd given him did, meaning if you gave him 5 gifts in Origins, the first gift you give him in Awakenings will only give 6 approval instead of 10. I reset that gifts-received variable so the first gift in Awakenings should give 10 regardless of how many you gave in Awakening. Makes it easier to raise it from 0 in Awakenings. That's it though.

@Qwinn; Thanks for the clarification. I believe that Oghren's DAA PQ was always intended to be a "fresh start" and be independent of whatever level of friendship the Warden did (or didn't) establish with him in DAO. Not to mention the US+Orlesien Warden case. So being able to get "proper" credit for what you do in DAA is all that's needed.

@GothicRlf04; There was already another stand-alone mod that handled the re-setting of Approval Points for gifts to Oghren in DAA. I had used it before the QUDAO Fixpack was available and it worked as intended. Was finally able to get Oghren to man- (dwarf-?) up to his parental duties! :laugh:
