Description
===========
Casts a spell on Morrigan to make her think all players are Male, and a spell on Allistair to make him think all players are Female.


Details
=======
This AddIn will trick Allistair into thinking the player is a Female, regardless of actual gender.  It will also trick Morrigan into thinking the player is a Male regardless of actual gender.  The player's actual gender does not change, and interaction with all other characetrs in the world remains as normal.  They will all see your normal gender.  Only Allistair and Morrigan are affected by this spell.

NOTE: This mod fools the affected characters into thinking your gender is what they like.  It can not, and does not, affect the voice over or dialog in the game.

Install
=======
Due to the way this mod works, it has to override a core file and thus can not be installed by DAUpdater.  However installation is simple.

1. Unzip the file.
2. copy the file "gen00pt_class_race_gend.ncs" to: My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Packages\Core\Override

Uninstall
=========
1. Navigate to: My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Packages\Core\Override
2. Delete the file "gen00pt_class_race_gend.ncs"

Incompatibility
===============
This mod does override a core file.  It overrides "gen00pt_class_race_gend.ncs", which is responsib;e for determining your character class, race, and gender.  It will not be compatible with any other mod that overrides the same file.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
None at this time but this is an initial release.  Please let me know of any issues.

History
=======
1.0, 11/22/2009 - Initial release.

This is not the final form for this mod.  Please feel free to leave feedback and suggestions.

I already have a few tweaks I want to make, but I wanted to get the initial version out.

Planned To Do
Provide a way to switch the mods affects on and off at will
Provide a way to have the mod only affect specific followers if desired

Hooray for free love!    And hooray for you, sir.

Any plans to alter the conversations you have with them so that they use the proper gender pronouns?  I'd imagine that that's a bigger project and would require a different approach, though, so it's really just curiosity from me and not a feature request.

No, I have no intention of doing so.  This is just a simple Confusion Spell and nothing more.

[Seleya]

Wow, you did it! That's genius. I think this is one of the most wanted mods ever. Well, up till now anyway.
The only thing that's missing for real free love would be getting rid of that pesky jealousy. But I guess that goes right in the same category with changing dialog; too complicated for now. Great mod anywho. I'll be having some bewitching to do now...

[Acleacius]

Gratz on your work.


Is there a suggestion on how we should handle this, if we have another core file? Could we maybe change to this core before we speak to her about completing her quest, then switch back after the scene?


Thanks for any tips.

Post something like this again and we might have our first ban.

Excellent work! Although I take it Morrigan is still going to call her lady a man pretty often, huh? lol

Yes.  Changing the dialog is a heap of work, and of course I can't just call up Claudia Black to re-do the voice over.

Why not? I'd call her for you but I'm just drowning in work at the moment.

Restraining order.  Don't want to get into it.

Nice work!

I was looking for a mod that forces the love scene each time we tell our chosen romance character to go to bed at the party camp, would you do that for your mod as a new feature? For instance, by default, if I have... say... Leliana as my lover, there's a point as you know when she and you make love in a specific scene. Well, after that scene is done once it never plays again, the only thing we have is a kiss and then we are back at the camp when we click on "Let's go to bed" in the dialog options. So what I wanted was a mod in which when we click that option we get the usual kiss first and then the love scene again, would something like that be possible?

Anyway, you've done a good job man.

[Acleacius]

That's a great idea, always frustrating in games where you only get the Love Scene once. It would be much more realistic and fun if once you were lovers you could get the scene anytime in camp.

I was wondering if we could wait till we are about to complete her quest to cast the spell then remove the core file, if it's overwriting our core file or maybe it would be possible for you just to add your code to our core file instead of overwriting the whole thing? I may misunderstand, so just asking. 


Thanks.

Brilliant idea indeed, although I'm having a problem here. When I put the file in the override folder, nothing happens - Morrigan still thinks I'm a woman. That part in readme about a spell was just a word play or is there an actual spell I need to use? My DA is patched to 1.01, if that's important. Thanks in advance for any answers in this matter.

There is nothing you have to actually do.  The spell was just a bit of RP

I tested this against Allistair, not Morrigan so its possible its bugged.  I didin't really have a save game for a conversation where I knew the gender responses.

If you have such a save game you could send me, I can check it out.
