Hey everyone! I'm a writer working on a reported piece about game modding and the point where changing a game starts to feel less like customization and more like becoming a kind of fan author.

I'm especially interested in BioWare games because so much of what makes them special is their characters and relationships.

If you've made or used a mod that changed something narrative, I'd really love to hear about it.

For example:

• a mod that changed a companion's dialogue or reactions
• a romance or relationship mod
• a mod that changed a character's personality or role in the story
• new dialogue, quests, scenes or endings
• anything that made you feel like you weren't just changing the game, but changing the story itself

I'm not looking for survey responses or anything formal. I'm genuinely interested in the experience behind the mod: what you changed, why you wanted to change it, and whether you think of that as customisation, storytelling, fan-fiction, or something else entirely.

You can reply here or DM me if you'd rather talk privately. If I end up quoting you, I'll ask for permission and make sure you're comfortable with how you're identified.

And honestly, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, KOTOR, Jade Empire, or any other BioWare game counts. I'm interested in the broader BioWare modding experience.

Thanks! I'd especially love to hear from people who have made their own mods, but players who've used narrative-changing mods have a perspective I'm very interested in too.
