I've started to use the Winter Forge mod to add the stats from a helm to other armor pieces, because I can't stand wearing a helm.

Also been duplicating weapons I get, so I can keep the weapon and shield styles I like while copying the bonuses of a weapon I obtain.

Works out pretty well, I look cooler, but since I duplicate a specific piece of gear I'm not making overpowered gear for myself.

I happen to like the dragonbone plate set

[EvilIguana966]

I wore that helm for the entire game. It is indeed overpowered like all of the DLC items. You can tell because it totally screws up item progression. However I didn't mind as much in this case because the helm of Honnleath is one of the few helms that actually looks good, so it was in a sense a relief to not have to change it.

I took the helm off of Alistair because I wanted him to have a full suit.

It's on my main character rogue, even though it's a heavy armor piece, because - well - I too dislike how the rogue helms look, like some stupid sock cap or Jayne hat ...



Actually, if it looked a tad more like a Jayne hat, then I'd love for a future male character I create to wear it!

Give it some time and a new release of the tool set to edit the game directly. People will put out some equpiment packs to give you a broader variety of gear in game. That helmets is tops though and impossible to beat with other drops in game. Considering all stats affect your character in some way adding +3 to them all is obscenely good.  Put me down for a Helmet toggle in game though.

For me it wasn't about the gear in game to gether it was more about getting enough gold to buy all the books to pad my stats even more and get all those recipes to make the expensive pots later in game.

I'm definitely gonna start doing this. I spend too much off this game with crappy gear because I dislike how certain pieces of equipment look. How much does the Winter Forge mod allow you to change? Could I, for instance, change an axe model to have the same stats as a sword (including damage, crit chance, armor penetration, etc), or does it only allow for the modding of the bonuses (the things in green). Can I change the number of rune slots? Could I mod a helmet to have the same stats as a mage cap (including removing the str requirement, fatigue penalty, etc)?

This is where all my gold goes, too.

I'm addicted to poison recipes, and cannot say no to more skill points!

The Helm of Honnleath looks good with the massive Dragonscale armor btw.

Yep I noticed that too. It "fits" with that set nicely.

[Eraginus]

i actually equipped it on my arcane warrior...................mages kinda need a boost to stats

[DaeFaron]

Heh, skill books are always nice. I tend to buy all the gifts I see as I go along and then books of course

In my current play through I had Leliana wear a Warden's helmet and light metal armor for the longest time. she looks like a Wagnerian Valkrie in it .
But I eventually had to replace it for ugly leather armor and helmet for better effectiveness

Shale is worth it, helmet or not. Nothing forces you to keep the helmet and Shale is an interesting companion...so...

Hm, actually Shale is the only thing I did download. Haven't played it yet, though. So the helmet is part of that package? Great, now I'll be tempted to use it after all I guess.

item progression?



If you go to the brecillian forest first and are badass enough to kill the revenants you get a full set of some of the best armor for 85% of the game.

[NetBeansAndJava]

Yeah, the helm is pretty darn awesome! And personally, I like the way it looks, though I'd remove those wings things... or at least shrink them a tad.



In any case, I don't think I'll ever replace them. If they don't go on the PC, it'll end up on Sten, Orgrhen, or Alistair.

[Rajiid]

Whoa whoa whoa... Warden helmet? I got the warden armour set, but I didn't know where to find the helmet, or maybe I did and sold in while I was zombie-playing and not really paying attention to the game. (I got hooked on it, my first play through got me 40 hours..) Do you get it at the keep? Or do you find it randomly, like the templar helmet?

[GHL_Soul_Reaver]

I wish they would not sell us items that you can make yourself as in I rather want content added to the game.

[Elanareon]

Best helm for me and suits with Drakes dragonplate armmor is Corruption, before that he uses Bergen's Honor.

[Lord Beretor]

I refused to give up my Dragon Armor helmet until quite late on in the game. Zevran had been wearing the helm of Honleath until i took it back. The stats were just too good to ignore.

[thestreaker]

I just give that helm to another party member. It's just as good for anyone, and I don't usually look at my party members that much. Besides there's some nice +25stamina helmets.

IF you are badass enough to kill the revenants, and if you have 38 str.  The Juggernaut Plate is tier 6 armor, not tier 2 like the helm, and it is much more difficult to acquire.  Those revenants aren't as badass as the black vial ones or Gaxkang, but they are still very hard fights especially with all the adds they come with.  You have to earn that armor through several very tough encounters that you probably won't be able to do when you first try them.  Not to mention the fact that the Helm of Honnleath has far better stats than any of the juggernaut plate pieces.  +3 armor and +2 to all attributes is enormous, far better than the Juggernaut Plate helm which it is being compared to.

I really wish bioware would incorporate an option to disable the "showing" of helms, like they do in world of warcraft. Helmless characters really do look better more often than not.

The mod below does that. It unequips helmet outside combat and equips it every new battle.

I find the set bonuses just ain't good enough to justify going with a single set. Mix and match yields way better results than a full set with set bonus. But I can only do that with my main char. Not enough gold to mix and match other chars, so others end up with sets, lol.
