I did run into a couple of bugs where having Lock Bash installed made me unable to talk to quest-bearing NPCs through doorways notably Owen the Blacksmith in Redcliffeand I had to uninstall it to get the story moving again. The mod even includes animated destructions, so you get to see the hinges shatter on that wee, puny lockbox. With Lock Bash in Dragon Age, warriors and mages can get in on the larceny by smashing open or disintegrating locks, respectively. If RPG characters are a reflection on their players, this means that I am the type of person who trips over his own shoes and has broken furniture by accidentally falling on it. Now, onto Dragon Age: Origins' finest mods. Am I a spoiled, whining, crybaby asking for endless handholding? After many hours fighting with mod installation readme. I still recommend DAModder in general, but it will only help with about half of the mods on this list. Others, like Dragon Age Redesigned, come packaged with individual. Some mods, like Bash Locks, need to have code pasted into.


To help, I recommend using DAModdera handy program with a user interface that encourages drop-and-install mod tracking. Dragon Agedue to its age, does not feature Steam Workshop integration. BioWare released Dragon Age in while still working on Mass Effect 2, so Dragon Age repeats many of the same design mistakes that made Mass Effect frustrating at times. Dragon Age: Origins is a great game, but it is a product of its time.
