I notice DA2 isn't the mod heaven that Origins was.  I probably added mods too quickly, but vanilla Avalene was a little too homely.  (For that matter, most NPCs carried over from Origins (even the non-playable ones) came out bad.  Zevran?  Bodahn and Sandahl?  Only Anders was improved.  Anyhow, I do run into the problem of "missing limbs" and "missing bodies."  If I save and restart, things go back to normal.  Mod related?

 

So, which mods to use?  Which to avoid?  One that I just added allows the non-Hawke regular characters to change their armor.

Absolutely get this one here, it's vital as it makes the game recognise your relationships with ppl from DA:O.  Without it Alistair won't acknowledge a warden LI, or Zevran a dead Warden LI etc etc.  - http://social.biowar...m/project/4364/

 

This shouldn't be necessary, Bioware should have fixed this themselves and it annoys me that they never addressed it.  Luckily a modder did.

With this, Zevran was in mourning for my dead Warden whom he loved, it was lovely.  Without this mod he wouldn't ever have mentioned her. 

 

I also love Normal Noses as it makes the elves a little less derpy - http://www.nexusmods...ge2/mods/2900/?

 

These are my choices for companions, I love them all and they work together.  Anders and Fenris are wayyyy sexier with these, and Aveline's changes her a little, but not too much -

Aveline, Sebastian and Isabela - http://www.nexusmods...ge2/mods/2434/?

Anders - http://www.nexusmods...ge2/mods/3809/?

Fenris - http://www.nexusmods...ge2/mods/3038/?

 

Zevran looks awful no matter what I'm afraid.  

As for things disappearing, I sometimes have armour disappear but the legs and arms still there.  Honestly I just ignore it because I can't be bothered to remove every single mod and test the game without it.

Thanks for the recs, AG!  Yes, I noticed on my first playthrough that King Alistair complained that his old nemesis, Loghain, still lived.  In none of my playthroughs did I ever succeed in sparing Loghain.  So much for importing a world state.  I did run across Dragon's Keep, but that seems aimed solely on DAI.  As to that first rec, I've already started a second run.  Will that still work for me or do I have to start again?

 

It is odd the way they uglied up a lot of characters in DA 2.  Generally speaking, I'm impressed with the graphics and felt they were better than what I saw in DAI for PS4.  But Bodahn and Sandahl looked odd.  The brief cameo I saw of Leliana made her look hideous and Zevran, of course, suffered badly.  As someone else mentioned, they Avatar-ed the elves in general, which was a step in the wrong direction.  (Now in DAI, elves look like pixies!  My female elf mage looked like a 14-year old girl!)  So much for improved graphics...

The Keep is solely for DA:I, yes. I honestly don't know if the mod will work after you've began your run but it's worth a shot.  You'll know for sure if you meet Alistair or Zevran.  I know, why not load your first game at a point where you can get to Alistair and see if he mentions Loghain again, if he doesn't then you're all good.

 

I play DA:I on PC in ultra and DA2 isn't as good as that, but I can't speak to the PS4 version.  Bodahn and Sandal do look weird, just try not to look at them too much. 

Elves are very strange, the normal noses mod I mentioned helps a little, as does The Fenris Files which makes him slightly more human.  I'm very very glad they changed them in DA:I I have to say.

AG, what's your recommendation with respect to the DLCs?  Obviously, Exiled Prince should be done early to fill out your companions.  What of Legacy and Assassin?  Better to wait until Act 2 or Act 3?  Or do these early as well?

 

Just curious, having done all three games, which was your favorite?  Final judgement on DAI (that was actually the first game I played) for me awaits playing it again after having done DA2 a second time.

Why ppl make a vampire lord from the poor Fenris? Was it not enough for him that Danarius made a saarebas of him?

I'm not keen on the spiky outfit he wears, when I found the long jacket I liked it way better.  Doesn't make me think of a vampire though.

MOTA - I've played it in act 2 and act 3.  Out of those 2 I preferred the start of act 3 because folks called me 'the Champion' all the time and it made sense that the Champion of Kirkwall would be invited to such an event.  

 

I've done Legacy in act 2 + 3 as well.  It was so much more poignant to play after Leandra dies, taking your sibling with you will bring up dialogue about her and it was really cool, and somewhat emotional.  Aveline will mention her as well.

 

I struggle to have a favourite, but I'd go with DA:I as I suspect there's more replay value and the characters are great.  Only done it once tho so maybe a second run will change my mind.  It's because I have big complaints about Origins and 2, whereas I don't have so many for Inquisition.  However, there are elements to DA:O and DA2 that I love, like the world Origin creates, some of it's characters and the history of Ferelden.  Then there's the quality of the companions in DA2....I guess in a perfect world I'd take elements of all 3 to make the perfect game.  

 

Btw, make sure to quote me if you're asking me something specifically.  That way I'm notified that you asked me something.  If I hadn't wandered over here I'd have missed your question and you might have thought I was ignoring you.

I'd definitely recommend All Items Evolve, Tougher Dog, and "Pick and Choose Spells" (which turns off the sustain effects of things like Rock Armor).

[Lythinae]

These are ones I use pretty frequently. I like most of the vanilla companions/npc appearances, so I usually just go for subtle changes like texture fixtures or more vibrant eye colours. Seconding the import and Zevran LI fix mods, too.

I've had the missing bits glitch. It's been a long time since I played without mods, so I can't say which one exactly makes it happen, but reloading fixes it most of the time.

[edit] All of the above were ones I found on the Nexus.  I *THINK* I also have a morph for Orana that makes her look more natural, but I can't find it in my mods folder so I may be wrong about that.

Oh yes, Orana.  I use this one  - http://www.nexusmods...ge2/mods/2801/?

She looks bloody ridiculous vanilla if you ask me.  

[Catilina]

Poor Orana Yes, i like this mod. Maybe once i will try the mods, i see some useful ones. Thanks to everyone!

[Thandal N'Lyman]

Bottom line:  There are no "bad" mods, only ones you don't happen to need/want/like. 

 

As with all BioWare games, play-through once without any mods, then browse the DA2 Nexus, (the only real source) then download and install the ones that sound interesting.

 

And have fun!

I checked and I definitely have a morph installed for her, I just can't figure out which one it is.  Probably included as part of one of the other mods I listed above.  I just couldn't bear to have her looking like a worker at the Pearl when she's never ended up that way in my games.

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

Mostly I just use a mod that turns spiders into mabari. I believe it was originally listed on the old BSN, but I don't know if it's on the Nexus.

It's still there.. it's funny to me, but I see the need for some people.

Do you actually have the option of using Bethany after the start of Act 2, when she gets sent off to the Circle?

Only in the DLCs.

So in Acts 2 & 3, when I need a little "Sunshine" (and I'm Anders'd out), do a DLC!

Hah!  Anders'd out, I feel you man, I feel you. 

 

Yeah, that's what's great about Legacy and MoTA, they bring a much needed break from Kirkwall when you're sick of seeing the same few walls around you.

[straykat]

Speaking of, I used a funny mod that makes Anders look bearded and worn out in Act 3. Should have been in the default game.
