Note #1: Realistic Teeth mod mentioned in the video is not needed with this setup (sorry for this little bamboozle, just skip the part of the video from 21:22 to 21:41) - if you have installed it already, just delete the “Realistic_Teeth” folder from DAO override folder (can be done on existing save).

Note #2: Half-Wraith mod requires one more extra weapon mod (linked in the mod list document) to act as an assets base for one of weapon between those Half-Wraith adds. Simply download it, unzip the archive and place “Guardians of Cadash Thaig” folder to DAO override folder.

Note #3: What to do if you’ll experience crashes in Lothering or Denerim (also after some time played in the city)? It still can rarely happen, even after the game is patched with LAA (4GB patch) - a heavy-modded game still can sometimes hiccup memory-wise in a couple of areas densely populated with clutter and NPCs. To solve this, just take out the "000 World Base Texture Pack" folder (your biggest model/texture improving mods, remember?) out of the override folder and bring it back after you'll leave the area. Old game still has its limitations - but you can bypass the problem itself and it will likely have to be just a few times per entire walkthrough, if ever. This manipulation is 100% safe and will not affect your overall game stability or save in any way.

Note #4: What's that weird weapon/armor you found at the enemy officer/boss, with weird stats, not possible to equip and with a value of around 1 silver? Due to limitations of DAO mod-making capabilities, the only way to properly improve certain enemies in a pinpoint way (iow - let's say, only this certain genlock alpha and not all genlock alphas in the game, as clearly genlock alpha in early game should be notably weaker then genlock alpha in the game's final battle) is to give them items with specific stat bonuses. Now, the thing with DAO items equipped by NPCs is that there is basically no such thing as "no drop" at all. The "no drop" parameter doesn't actually disable drop chance, but rather sets it to extremely low value, so there is still technically very low % it will drop. Hence, to avoid gameplay game disbalance, these items have such kind of restriction and a symbolic price - this is not very immersive, but sadly, that's the limitation of the game here. These kind of drops should be extremely rare (and maybe you will not meet them at all in entire walkthrough) - but if you'll see some of these, just ignore them or sell them to merchant. Note: If some of these items will have negative price - first of all, make sure to re-download Dragon Age Revived latest version and replace the files in your DAO override folder. If you'll still get an item with negative price - please, let me know in our discord and I'll fix this asap.

Note #5: If you'll see DAUpdater throwing out warnings about you having not the latest game version when installing certain dazip mods - it's 100% safe to ignore it as it's a "false positive" type of warning.
