Fanowski patch do Dragon Age: Origins

Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack to fanowski patch, który powstawał prawie 10 lat. W kwietniu 2010 roku Paul Escalona rozpoczął prace nad poprawkami do zbugowanego, ale wciąż genialnego Dragon Age: Początek. Dziś efekty powalają, a lata pracy nie pójdą na marne.

Patch naprawia prawie 800 błędów, które pojawiły się oryginalnie w grze. Ostatnia aktualizacja moda miała miejsce zaledwie w listopadzie poprzedniego roku i aż zdziwienie mnie ogarnia, że wcześniej nie zrobiło się głośno na jego temat. To co szokuje najbardziej, to przywrócenie przez jego twórcę usuniętej z gry zawartości (część dostaliśmy w formie DLC, ale część przepadłaby na wieki, gdyby nie Paul i jego patch). Czy to nie jest doskonały powód żeby powrócić do Thedas i jeszcze raz przywrócić wielkość Szarym Strażnikom?

Niestety, w 2017 roku strona Paula poświęcona modowi musiała zostać zamknięta, od tej pory patcha możecie pobrać bezpiecznie tylko z nexusmods.com. Mod nie ingeruje w mechanikę walki, ani w dodatki do Origins (z drobnymi wyjątkami), ale lista rzeczy dodanych i poprawionych robi wrażenie. Uważajcie jednak, bo zawiera spojlery! Jeśli więc nie chcecie psuć sobie zabawy, to odpuśćcie sobie fragment z ramki.
