Set in the fictional kingdom of Ferelden during a period of civil strife, the game puts the player in the role of a warrior. Grey Warden rebellion Main article: Battle of Soldier's Peak. In 7:5 Storm, King Arland Theirin, who earned the reputation of a tyrant, ascended to the throne. Some banns approached Warden-Commander Sophia Dryden, who previously held a claim to the throne, to intercede, and she agreed. Warden-Commander Aedan Cousland, commonly known as the Hero of Ferelden, is the second son of Teyrn Bryce Cousland of Highever and his wife, Teyrna Eleanor. He is Fergus's younger brother, Oren's uncle, and the main protagonist of Dragon Age: Origins. On the night his brother took Highever’s. The Warden is the main protagonist of Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins. This character will hail from one of six social classes ranging from casteless dwarf or landless elf to Fereldan noble or even dwarven royalty. After playing through one of these origins, he or she will join the Grey Wardens during the events of Dragon Age: Origins and may even rise to the rank of Warden-Commander in Dragon. The wings on the massive helmet was made by Bioware in Dragon Age 2. It's the canonical helmet of the grey warden commanders. It signifies the symbolical importance of the Griffon's wings spreading to fly up high in the Grey Warden's duty to protect the world from Darkspawn. If you don't like wearing them, just wear the heavy warrior helmets.
It doesn't change the warden armours, it changes many of the base armours in the game. So the armour Daveth wears, the armour the Dalish clan are wearing, the mage's robes I think too. But not specifically the wardens.
Okay, yes I did notice that. I'm doing the Dalish Origin and my rogue was wearing something more akin to what Dalish elves use in Inquisition at the beginning of the game.
Can anyone who has used the mod just explain what each of the files in the grey wardens of ferelden mod does?
I can give a partial explanation for the files I used. The first file is the core file which is installed via DAZip. The second file down -- the main file -- has all the blue Grey Warden armors from DA2 from every class -- mage, scout, heavy warrior armor, and warrior commander armor and their respective weapons. It's all Tier 1 though more souped up than normal Tier 1 stuff.
I didn't use most of the other files, but I did install the Duncan rogue variant armor so he doesn't have the massive Warden Commander armor. Farther down the list, I also installed the Warden Recruit Armor. The description said it was for Daveth and Ser Jory and they are wearing it when you see them. However, they also include a set for the PC. As I mentioned above, it looks different from the DA2 Warden Armor. I'm actually beginning to think it looks better than the DA2 Warden armors except for the helmet. It's also Tier 7 Drakeskin and it has the corresponding stats.
As to the other files, they represent variants that other modders have thought of that aren't necessarily lore friendly - aside from the GW emblem - but many of which actually look cooler than the DA2 Warden armor.
IMHO, Grey Warden armor looked best in Inquisition, even though the events of that game certainly constitute the Wardens' darkest hour. DA2 Warden armor looks a bit odd, but I found it better than the total lack of a Grey Warden uniform in Origins. Aside from Sophia's armor and the occasional winged helmets, what else is there? Which of course brings up the mystery of why does everyone in Origins recognize your PC and Alistair as Grey Wardens sans any special gear? (Does the taint come with a peculiar smell?)
Anyhow, look at the pics involved with this mod to see what interests you. Aside from the core file and the Warden Recruit armor, you will need to enable console commands to access everything else.
