Updated Elissa’s morph to what I hope is a workable hybrid of my original stylized version and Zim’s adorable version that I’m using as my avatar.

Installed KH’s textures for the MotA items in the newest version of Kirkwall Exports.

I think I’m ready to waste time taking pictures, now.

Okay, that mod is REALLY washing out more than a few green eye textures. I’ve got to get to bed now, but when I get time tomorrow I’ll try setting the eyes to something slightly obnoxious and see if that gets mellowed out to the color we originally had.

Either way, though I’d still rec that mod based on what little time I’ve had to play with it so far. If one setting doesn’t work for you, one of the others is bound to.

I can’t decide if I love or hate playing an Elissa save more or less how everything happens in head canon, what with how early her relationship with Alistair really begins. On the one hand, I get to barrel through all the adorable, awkward flirting almost immediately. On the other hand, I lose those opportunities later. :( 

He insists that it would be inappropriate to be in your rooms unescorted, of course. But it’s been so long since I’ve talked to him in this scene that I’d completely forgotten about these dialogue options. (I normally just rush through the origin, unless I’m taking pictures of something.)

lmao I completely forgot you could invite Duncan up to your room during the HN origin >.<

Much less amusing, though, I can’t find which folder has my dye for the Of Noble Cast dress (the lavender one). I know I uploaded it, so I could always just grab it from my own Media Fire if I need to, but that just seems silly.

Shit, I’ve made so many changes to what mods I have installed that I might not be able to play this Elissa save. May or may not be restarting her from the beginning in a minute, though if I do I’ll be able to update Aldous as well. (At least Neria’s save should be safe, I didn’t actually use pretty much any mods while playing that, even if they were installed.)

Downloading and installing Sleep Til Dawn, and updating Kirkwall Exports. Hopefully this update will fix Beth’s Circle Robes, cause I messed something up with them on my last install and couldn’t get it fixed.

brennacedria:

Starting up Ria’s game for tonight. Gonna try to clear out all but the last quarter of Act 3, if I can stay focused long enough.

I made this post like 45 minutes ago and all I’ve accomplished is running down one street, downloading and installing an item mod for DA:O, and testing UDK tints on that item instead—while still running DA2 in the background to come back to. I guess I should get back to that. >.>

Okay, archdemon is dead and installed mods have been cleaned up a bit. Warden!Vrania is temporarily retired for now, since I decided I would eventually run her through Awakening but not use the Awakening data as import material for DA2. Next up is:

  • the initial creation on Manrod
  • finishing Neria’s save (also w/o Awakening or any DLC, since she’s an ultimate sacrifice Warden) to port to my red!Hawke
  • finishing canon!Ria’s save in DA2
After those three I’ll see about Awakening!Warden!Vrania and her BFF5evar fellow maleficar Velanna, alt!Ria, and finishing Braelyn.

My DA:O install is using nearly a gig of RAM to run at any given time. I think, once I finish this goof-off play with Vrania, I’m going to be auditing my mods and removing anything I don’t actually use and/or have no reason to use again. >.<
