** Note that 10, 11 & 12 can be done in paralel with the mesh work
*** After step 5 we can have our first mod (Change the colors of your brown Jammies! ) and some little mods like that, like "use your own flag instead of the Inquisition flag", or "make your throne blue on Skyhold". Perhaps we can even make Leliana a redhead if we find her hair texture.
*** After step 5a modders can add some little things like a My little pony statue to inqui's room or a fancy door to Solas room, or whatever
**** After step 6 modders can change hair, armor and other character accessories. Finally we can try to switch the jamies for jeans ant t-shirt and get Bianca to look as rocket launcher or flame thrower
**** After step 8 we can make new mounts or new Darkspawn, or such
Doubt we get to 8 that this year but I've been wrong before, I thought step 5 was gonna happen in 2015 and Ehalmloptiran is doing it already 
Retour en haut
