For everyone who wants an equally useful mod for a Hawke who was either a blood mage themself or who romanced Merrill or who didn’t romance Merrill and simply agreed with her stance on blood magic, I have an update for the new game release:
I am a terrible voice actor with a much higher-pitch voice than either Merrill or F!Hawke, let alone my respective lack of a Welsh accent or ability to sound even remotely masculine. The only way to fix these lines and the corresponding animation would be through HEAVY use of AI, which I refuse to do.
My updated version of the mod for DAV is this: your Hawke is canon for your worldstate, and I would love to see/hear everything* about them.
Thank you for this! This made things so much better. I mean if Hawke didn't romance and/or support Anders then the reaction is totally understandable but if he/she did then it was jarring to say the least. Thanks a bunch.
Hi! I have yet to reach this point in my current playthrough, but I'm really excited for it! I was wondering if you would be able to change up the 'non approval' version of the conversation? My next playthrough I'm going with a lovable and kind goofball Hawke who does a more neutral option to the explosive climax and it just seems so... sad. That is if you take requests, I know how Frostbite is one of the worst engines for modding. Again, thank you for this!
Really interesting mod. I supported Anders in my first playthrough of 2 and was pretty confused when Hawke basically said one of his friends was the biggest piece of s#*! in existence in Inquisition. Eager to try this out, thank you.
On a side note, do you think you could make something similar that'd make Hawke maybe a little less... antagonistic towards blood magic? Weird to have a Hawke that (friendship) romances Merrill and utilized blood magic himself be so vehemently opposed to it.
This was my exact experience the first time I played DAI (blood mage Hawke, friends with Anders, romanced Merrill as a friend), so I'm already working on a fix for the blood magic thing!
It's a lot messier than the conversation about Anders, but it should be possible to switch lines around so that Hawke is upset about the Wardens being duped by Corypheus and not the blood magic.
did you try exporting the .bin files of the edits you did in frosty editor? - left click on the name of the edited file in the data explorer tab in the bottom left corner of frosty, then hit the export button, to export it as a .bin file
then once the files are all exported, rename the .bin file extension on them to .ebx instead, find the conversation files within dai mod maker 19, then double right click on the name of the file to bring up a window, then import the .ebx files with the debug > import ebx binary option near the top of the window (make sure you have slimdx installed beforehand so the option isn't greyed out, though.)
you don't need to redo all your work that way, so long as you have an .fbproject of your mod saved away somewhere, then you just need to export and rename a few things, reimport them, and then you're pretty much done for daimod conversion.
Thank you so much! I was at the point of trying to make sense of the binary file, and this was so much easier. The daimod version is up on the downloads page now.

*EXCEPT FOR AI

That'd be a definite life saver
I'm working on replicating it in modmaker, but without the ability to directly edit conversation files in there, it's going to take some time
then once the files are all exported, rename the .bin file extension on them to .ebx instead, find the conversation files within dai mod maker 19, then double right click on the name of the file to bring up a window, then import the .ebx files with the debug > import ebx binary option near the top of the window (make sure you have slimdx installed beforehand so the option isn't greyed out, though.)

(also, well done on your first mod! c; )
