Try 75-80%.
Honestly, it would be a huge improvement. Not buying the game anyway but I did play Dragon Age 1,2 and Inquisiton so I would like to see how the story ends. But having to go through a ***** indoctrination course feels like a big ask so unless a mod like this one is released for Veilguard, I will have to give it a pass.

I still play DA:O and DA:A. I stop there. It all went down the drains with DA:E, and DA:I - while having its moments as an action RPG - isn't really DA.

The whole thing looks like Pixar. How do you fix that without remaking the whole thing?

Just because it has a Dragon Age title doesn't make it a Dragon Age game so just let it rot in its corner.

Companion redesign, a filter for textures, ENB can do wonders but you are right in one thing, even if you remove all the alphabet indoctrination from the game, what's left seems completely flaccid and innocuous. Companions bickering about how many books to take on a camping trip or detailing their favourite food. It is the stupidest, most asinine, brain-dead and creatively bankrupt writing I have ever seen in a videogame or literature. Maybe there is a 10% in there that is salvageable, who knows, perhaps the Solas parts and the ending (they say it's ok) but yeah, it would be too much to be cut because the writers are simply talentless and the overall quality of it all is abysmal.

Now, in a way, I know how the readers of Song of Ice and Fire feel, wanting a proper ending for the story they have invested hours and hours in, and getting a huge fat middle finger instead.

Realised this mod prevents using strong type female body. Does that mean most if not all strong type female bodies are gone from the World too? I saw a mod that introduced larger women, can they not be replaced with that? Lack of fatties is kinda odd but not for woke reasons just for realism

:groan:
... Fatties are not a modern thing ๐Ÿ˜‚ Makes more sense than all these women having access to massive amounts of protein and steroids. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Priests in the middle ages were often fat.
No so much monks or nuns due to the monastic diet.
As for people, the only ones mentioned much as being fat are certain townspeople, especially mayors and councilmembers and such, as well as older minor nobility.
Some other fat townsfolk were well paid professions such as scribes and bankers and hostelers/tavernkeepers and the like.
We all know about king Henry VIII becoming a fat **** in middle age.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.

Granted, the nobility and friends of the nobility were frequently overweight.
The peasants were not, many times they were starving.

Killing off the Eclipse/Lycium engine in exchange for Frostbite was a boneheaded DUMB AS **** move by bioware. Old modders even from 2 like Thor and Roguelass would've bumped Inquisition to the top of Nexus had it been built on an upgraded Eclipse/Lycium build, which both engines are just nerfed Aurora engines anyway. Thinking about it all these years later still pisses me off. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Veilguard is a terrible game. Itโ€™s not just the writing that is bad. Everything is mediocre. Why would you even want to?

I played BG3 and enjoyed it, and that's why it modded it, so it would continue to be enjoyable. I'd rather pretend crap like veilguard never existed.

Why not though? It's like a textbook example of everything that you shouldn't do if you want your game to sell. It would be great learning material, if the gamedev was a learning animal.

Also, on the topic of modding the Veilguard, it is one of those games that is impossible to unfuck. You'd be better off putting all that time and energy making your own game.

Agreed. We should only recognize the existence of slop in order to actively and purposely distance ourselves from it as much as possible.

What I have seen being discussed here is that - once the BG3 modkit tools are fully polished - somebody could use the BG3 engine to make a proper Dragon Age game.

I highly doubt that - unless one wants to make DA into D&D. They are quite different systems, both regarding ability/attribute scores talents/skills/combat abilities/spells.
I wish some geniuses could combine their brains though and return to DA:O toolset and start creating a new game there. That's the only thing we really need, DA-wise.
One modder on the Nexus has in fact made a new stand-alone game using the toolset, and it looks promising.

orinEsque, I created this account to tell you thank you thank you very very very much for creating this mods and taking the fight 2 DS Abominations.

I will download/ upload it to my external hard drives, Google Drive & MediaFire acc.
Please never stop updating this.

But I have an few questions; does this mod completely get rid of the alphabet666 propaganda n this game? Becuz every single romance character by the players character isn't straight.
So, this does this mod have a way to make every character straight, like only have straight Romance choices?
4 explain: if the player is female, it only Romance male characters, if the play is male, it can only romance female characters.

Oh, better yet, if u mod an original female character into a male now player's F character can now have the option to date the modded character?, If it doesn't there's a major update to need to be mandatory, again thx you very very much. #Makegamestraightagain

All I can say is that its complicated to merge the two, and harder for two separate modders to troubleshoot.

The main character seem to keep referring to him/her-self as "we" in the journal and in dialogue even when alone(i.e without any party member, I killed them all). As if the MC's pronoun is they/them by default. Can you fix it?
I would rather have the "we" in the journal turn into "I". Make more sense to me.

"We" isn't a lgbtq thing, lol. And never will be. "We" and "I" never referred to a gender. It probably means me and my party. And they didn't correct for solo tavs. Think of it as the royal we and be done with it.

But in BG1-2 it's always "I". And you already start using "we" as soon as the start of the game, when you are all alone. Item descriptions also use they/them as much as possible when referring to a single person, which never happens in older games.

If this things bother you so much, you can fix this yourself: unpack localization, find lines that need to be corrected, correct them, pack localization, test in the game, if everything works, post edited lines here.

As soon as you start a game you are not alone, your very first party member is Laezel, you meet her as soon as you exit room where you awake.

While one could play BG1 and 2 as mp games, they essentially were single-player games. BG3 on the other hand is designed for multiplayer. The use of "we" instead of "I" is fair enough IMO.
When it comes to use of "them/they" in item desc etc, that's another matter - but you have some work ahead of you if want to correct this... this is "modern language" as it is presented in e.g., D&D books these days.
In AD&D (1989) a sentence could read "if the target fails the saving throw, he takes...". Already in D&D 3.5 (2004) it may instead say "if the target fails the saving throw, they take...".
So, you would basically have to edit all spells, item desc and the list goes on....

"We" isn't a lgbtq thing, lol. And never will be. "We" and "I" never referred to a gender. It probably means me and my party. And they didn't correct for solo tavs. Think of it as the royal we and be done with it.
But in BG1-2 it's always "I". And you already start using "we" as soon as the start of the game, when you are all alone. Item descriptions also use they/them as much as possible when referring to a single person, which never happens in older games.
It's not a sign of politics, this "I" and "we", just because its different from BG1 and 2 doesn't mean its wrong :scratch:

"I" has always been used, then suddenly it's "we" even when you are traveling alone. And people refer to you as "they/them" even if you are alone and stand naked. I don't want to talk about politics, I just want comprehensible grammar.
