Kajana Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I started a new playthough and now swords and staffs that do spirit damage (Morrigan's staff in particular) have this blue flame effect. They didn't before, I have every no personal, no visual, no effect type mod I can find and as far as I know this isn't part of the game so it must be modded in. But I've been through all my mods and I have no idea what is causing this. Also, would I need to start a whole new game to see if what I removed from override or dlc or whatever worked? Or could I just start from before I entered the area? I'm relatively new to mods, so I really don't know the type of file to look for. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

LemmingoftheGDA Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Kajana, How in the wide wide world of sports did you get a staff and sword that do spirit damage? In DAO there are only two ways. By rune or by an item having an "on hit effect". Runes just actually add an "on hit effect". Gee, I don't remember any STANDARD weapons that do that. And I don't remember any way a staff has RUNE SLOTS in the standard game. AND I don't remember any spirit RUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have MOD weapons Kajana? There is a mod that removes weapon vfx http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/297, however it does NOT include spirit, because there ARE NO SPIRIT RUNES!!!!!!!!!! So, if one were to have mod weapons that do spirit damage, guess what, they would absolutely, positively, without a doubt glow blue, are supposed to, and there is no mod that cancels it. Take care. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajana Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Already downloaded! I haven't played the vanilla game in so long I didn't remember if Morrigan's staff originally did spirit damage or not, but now that you mentioned it I think it was cold damage. I have IA which some people have issues with but I love and it also adds spirit damage to templar swords and maybe more, but they never had any visual effect. I recently downloaded a couple new area/quest mods which I think do add spirit damage staffs. I had resigned myself to uninstalling those new area mods because of the effect (I hate all personal/visual/spell/talent/poision/weapon/etc effects. At best silly/annoying at worst they slow the game.) But now I can play them! Thank you again. Ten minutes, deal! In fact, I'll throw in twenty more to bring it to the thirty minutes I spent going through my addin and override folders trying to find the effect and then blankly staring at the screen when I realised I couldn't find it and didn't even know what to look for!

LemmingoftheGDA Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 No! Bad Kajana! Bad, bad, bad Kajana! LOL! Morrigan's staff ADDS to cold damage, as in adds to spell damage. There are no on-hit effect weapons in the standard game. In the standard game the only way to get weapon effects is to use one of the lame mage spells that uses a ton of mana and adds a whopping 1-5 cold or fire damage to weapons OR runes. That's it. Take care my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
