Im assuming texture mods will soon be arriving but will we ever see new models added, like new weapons or armor or even a realistically scaled Tempest (that thing is way too small when on a planet)
How about major game altering stuff like the Galaxy mod for ME3?

Um, no sorry. The modding scene in DAI is down to clothing and hair. They just can't do much more. In fact, DLC won't work with some of the hair mods. So if clothes and hair aren't high on the list . . .

Frostbite engine is notoriously difficult to mod with and as far as I'm aware, it's not possible to put anything completely new in. The limits in DAI are essentially some simpler gameplay changes, re-textures/editing of clothing, skin, tattoos, eyes and editing the hair models. Each patch breaks the majority of the mods and it takes a few hours or up to a few days to fix that.
And it's not guaranteed that modding will work the same way in ME:A because while the engine is the same, the way the code is written might be very different. From what I know, modding ME has always been much more limiting and tricky than modding DA.

I remember when they first announced the move to this engine, there was a lot of complaints about the lack of possible meaningful mods with it. It was a big deal back then, because the Bioware fandom have a tendency to mod since the days of good old Baldur's Gate

I really don't think they will be able to add much to the game. The majority of changes I saw for Inquisition revolved around recolors/retextures of existing items, unlocking NPC only items such as hairstyles, or changing values such as damage on weapons or vendor quantities.

Yes the engine is a pain to mod. Bethesda at least lets you mod to your hearts content
And I believe the reason they won't release any modding tools is,
NOW IF YOU WANT DIFFERENT ARMOR OR WEAPONS YOU MUST BUY THEIR ARMOR AND WEAPON DLC, and believe me they probably already have it made and ready for release just waiting that acceptable 2-4 months

Yes, there have been add-on DLCs, (that never go down in price) along with some alternate clothing and weapons - sometimes via some exclusive deal with a soda company or something. But for the most part EA has never shown much interest, that I'm aware of, to embrace the modding community. Nor have they paid any attention to user requests and complaints for more customizable options in their games, which could have easily been monetized in some fashion. I guess they are making sufficient money from game sales and the stupid RNG packs in MP, or just outright blind to users, which is typical management behavior and oversight.

Frostbite sucks as a modding engine. The only mods I found useful from Inquisition were crafting and store mods. I suspect the same for Andromeda.

Guys, I discovered a video (link at the bottom of this post) showing an earlier, and IMO better looking, Default Sara face, which apparently was patched out and replaced with what we have now.
Does anyone know if it would be possible to reinstate this face via one of the .ini files or another mod?

I'm hoping the assets are still ingame somewhere, then hopefully some clever bod will work out how to access them.
Don't get me wrong, I'm really warming to default Sara (she is very cute in the right light) but that original face is so much better IMO.

There is actually a pretty good one someone uploaded to the Archive that you can download to use. As far as I'm concerned she's the real Sara and not that Troglodyte they made as default. My Ryder family...(due to the dumb way they extrapolate dads face).

Oh I know there are lots of nice CC creations out there, I have several bookmarked for future playthroughs. But id would be nice to have this original default face restored...she looks like Lara Croft. Plus you get to keep all the default's conversation options like using 'Sara' in conversations EDIT: Actually, do you have the archive link for that face? Just in case

That CC Sara looks good but Alec looks awful. Im assuming IF someone was able to reinstate this original face then Alec would also stay default.

Yeah it's based off of the custom face number you pick. Custom Sara has face 9, so the game picks male face 9 which is apparently James Earl Jones
There really needs to be an option in character creation to lock Alec to default.
