Some Dragon Age 2 mods

I've made a few things. Some staves, new skill tables for your companions at the start, some aesthetic changes. Unzip into your Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age 2/packages/core/override folder. I've made them all as compatible as possible with other mods. They're after the cut.

Dragon Age 2

It is not as good as Dragon Age: Origins. Not by a long shot. Later edit: I take this back. It's not as good as Origins in many ways, but now that I've played more, I would say it's not quite as good as Origins, but it does some things better, and some of the things it does better are pretty important. For instance, I have some massive slowdowns in Origins, especially during the final battle, even with no mods installed, though my computer is well over the recommended specs. I have none during DA2 -- zip, zilch, zero. DA2's gameplay is perfectly smooth.

However, in my opinion it is as good as Knights of the Old Republic. DA2 has better graphics and voice acting than KotOR, but the music isn't as good (for obvious reasons). I think it's better than KotOR now. The gameplay's better, imo, and so are the characters. I also like Anders much more than Carth, though I did like Carth. Aveline, Isabela and Merrill are also all WAY better than Bastila (I couldn't stand that woman), and I look forward to seeing the romances with the female characters in DA2. I'm not going to pretend that romances in Bioware games are unimportant. They're central.
