Name: A Ring from Alistair
Version: 1.0

=================
Requirements:
=================

Dragon Age: Origins, a romanced Alistair, and a carefully played Landsmeet.

=================
Description:
=================

An engagement ring for the future Queen of Ferelden.

The archive includes some fabulous screencaps for reference. (As always, a picture is worth a thousand words, and more so when the words are mine.)

=================
Details:
=================

This is a less silly, actually useful version of an idiotic thing I wanted for my own super special Queen Cousland Warden. (And my even more special Amell Queen.)

On the first load after the Landsmeet, "An Engagement Ring" will spawn in inventory if the following conditions are met: the Warden and Alistair are to be married, and Alistair is Romanced or Still in Love. A non-canon, non-Cousland Warden who meets those conditions will receive the ring, while if the marriage is purely political, the ring should not appear.

The ring is restricted to The Warden-who-would-be-Queen, and comes in two versions. I hope the stats of the basic version (A Gentle Flower) will be useful in the late stages of the game, without being overpowered. The optional cheat version (An Indestructible Goddess) has intentionally overpowered stats. (Who am I to judge and no one is making you use it.)

A Gentle Flower:
+2 cunning
+2 constitution
+1 stamina regen in combat
+1 health regen in combat
Lucky

An Indestructible Goddess:
+5 to all attributes
+2 stamina regen in combat
+2 health regen in combat
+10% spell resistance
Lucky

To spawn additional copies of the ring, use the following console command (omitting the quotes): 'runscript give_tsm_alistair_ring'

=================
Installation:
=================

Install with DAupdater, DAOModmanager, or your preferred utility. The installer includes the basic 'A Gentle Flower' version. For the cheat-y 'An Indestructible Goddess' version, copy the tsm_alistair_ring_goddess folder to your override directory (usually \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).

=================
Un-Installation:
=================

I recommend installing and uninstalling with DAOModmanager. To manually remove the mod, delete the
\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\AddIns\tsm_alistair_ring folder and contents. Also delete tsm_alistair_ring_package.erf from \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\data. ANd finally, if the cheat version override was installed, delete the tsm_alistair_ring_goddess folder and contents from \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override.

=================
Known Issues:
=================

None, apart from the derisive mockery of overly cynical haters.

=================
Notes:
=================

'Lucky' is a useless buff that was not implemented in the game. I intentionally included it, for obvious reasons. (And if the reasons aren't obvious, why are you still reading this?)

This mod was tested with "Anyone Can Marry Alistair" (http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/781), and should be fully compatible.

The ring will import into Dragon Age: Awakening, and is compatible with Romance Mementos for Awakening (http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/3425).
