Okay,

I usually only play Human Nobles, but decided to try Dalish Elf, and I noticed lately, all of the items I've been looting off of enemies were either stones, potiones, etc.No armor or weapons, which stinks cause I need some new weapons and the shops do not have the ones I like, that I usually find on enemies.

I also noticed a lack of random encounters as well, meaning I don't see the guy in the random area who is from orzammar and has things for sale, I don't get the random bandit encounters etc.

I did install some new mods:

One for clothing
One for changing colors on clothing(tint toolkit?)
One for Hair
Alistair Romance Fixes
Zevran Romance Fixes
One to spawn a chest at camp
Dance Party Mod
Skip the fade(I never had an issue with this one, so I'm 99.9999% sure this is not the issue)

Most of the loot is randomly generated. But most of the loot from bosses & elite bosses is fixed, with a small chance for ultra-rares. Many chests also have fixed loot. But critter level and lieutenant level mobs usually drop random loot.

Don't worry about random encounters because random encounters are random. Duh! You'll encounter them eventually, randomly of course.

But I used to get tons of loot on my other saved game, literally where I ran out of room in my inventory, now I barely find enough to fill it half up and none of it is weapons, its all lithium potions.I used to get tons of weapons from looting.

And I literally just played 5 hours without one random encounter except the plot related ones.

Hmm...Then I can't figure what's the problem. Try playing some time more. You'll eventually get good weapons and armor. By the way, what is the quest that you are on right now?

I'm not on any quest right now, I'm just running about doing little side quests like the chanter's board.I have finished Urn of Sacred Ashes(Which is the first quest I do).

I just odn't get what happened, suddenly the enemies are dropping things less often and when they do drop, its either money or potions.Just 4 nights ago, My inventory was filled from all the loot and weapons I got, now Its barely half full(this is on a new save).

I did add mods, but I don't think any of them would effect looting.

I added

Tint Kit Mod
Bash Chests Mod
Hairstyle Mods
Dress Mods
Fixed Morrigan Dialogue Mod
Spawn chest in Camp mod
Dance Party Mod

Yes, mods shouldn't be the problem here.

Um, i'd like to know if you killed kolgrim, if you did, then did he drop the Faith's Edge. If he did then I don't think there is a problem with loot dropping. As I remember, after my first playthrough in normal difficulty, I jumped straight to nightmare and did actually notice few random loot. Did you change the difficulty?

[Katara Cousland]

No, I haven't killed Kolgrim, I haven't done that quest yet.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seemed to fix the looting issue.Nope, I stick to easy cause well, easy is hard enough.

However in other saved games, I did kill Kolgrim and no he did not drop it, he dropped noble clothing.

While I'm here does anyone know what Alistair is wearing in this video?

[Blazomancer]

He's probably wearing Evon the great's mail, or wade's superior heavy dragonscale armor. Both look same. In fact even the dragonbone heavy chainmail looks same.

Thanks.

And my issue with Looting is back.
I just don't get it.

When I first got the game, I was finding all sorts of stuff, helmets, boots, gloves, swords, axes, etc.And not just on boss darkspawn, but on all, and in fact every darkspawn I killed dropped something, grant it I never got any decent weapons, but they were worth getting to sell.

Now all I get is potions, elf root. posion and money.And only 1 out 10 darkspawn drops something.:/ I

If its a mod, I don't know which one would cause it.

[Blazomancer]

Hmm, in my opinion, mods are not causing problems, for I use almost all the mods you've installed and even some more. It is true that all enemies will not drop loot everytime, in fact if you find a particular enemy, like a mage dropping something in a playthru, he may not drop anything the other time around. Also sometimes there is lag in appearing of loot, which you must have noticed.

You shouldn't really worry about money as you can just craft Potent Lyrium potions in huge number and sell them for decent profit.

I can't simply deny what you asked in the OP, may be loot depends on the race you are playing as I have no idea about the game's internals whatsoever. But I'm sure that by mid to late game, loot becomes more or less predictable for a given area, for instance you get imperial edges, tevinter shields in the alienage district, darkspawn weapons from darkspawns, crossbows, maces, etc. from the royal guards, poisons, daggers from mercenaries and assassins. I mean it's not a bad thing that loot is random and infrequent. Trust me, you'll stop bothering about it after a while.

I created a Human Noble and she finds more weapons than an Elf does.Maybe its meant to be like that.

One final question- And this may not be anything wrong with the game, is there suppose to be edge scrolling? When you run your cursor to the side and it scrolls? Because my game does not do that, only in certain areas.

[Blazomancer]

Yes, the screen can be scrolled in the top-down view, but the distance to which the screen can be scrolled depends on the position of your party members. For example, if all of your teammates including your warden is standing next to each other, the screen wont scroll much in the cardinal directions. But if your teammates are scattered around, then you'll be able to scroll more. Basically it's like Fog of war in RTS's. However, edge scrolling is kind of messy, sometimes you won't be able to scroll depending on the architecture around you. Walls, archways, tall buildings sometimes cause problems.
