Silverite Mine Bug !!! Jumping Mission = Consequences!?

[XadowMonzter]

So, I had a major bug in my mission with this Silveritte Mine, which were losing all my warden's gear, or losing all my itens in the invetory thankfully I save a lot of times and saved before going in the mine. I know about some fixes here and there, but I didn't know about it before doing this mission, and I really don't feel like doing this all over again.

I pretty much did all the missions in the Forest, and probably this Silverite Mine is just to recruit Allena to the group, but i'm not sure, so I would like to ask those that did this mission, if does it alter much in the story, the progress of the game, does it impact in the other games of the franchise? Because if it's just an isolated mission to recruit a companion and get some items, I feel like jumping this mission.

Thanks for the attention.

"The Rightous Path" (with Wending Wood and Silverite MIne) is one of 3 questlines you need to finish before you can continue and finish this expansion.
Velanna may be recruited in the forest, or not. But, you have to enter the mine and learn of a major piece of the plot (and, darkspawn lore for the whole Dragone Age series).

WRT the inventory bug, I highly recommend using this fix:
* Awakening Silverite Mines Equipment Glitch: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/1762/?

The other option to avoid the bug is to change your equiped gear to some generic items with low level or low attribute requirement, and no unique, imported, DLC, or character-specific accessory.
You are supposed to lose all your equiped and inventory items upon entering the Silverite Mine, but will be able to retrieve them just before existing, after the final boss fights. Don't worry, you'll pick up other gear along the way.
