Gameplay Redux

ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY

Gameplay Redux

-This mod is meant to be played in a fresh play-through (not NG+). You can still play it on a current save though. If so, back up your saves, try out the mod before you decide to commit to a full play-through.

- This mod does NOT directly affect your saves. However, it levels your character straight to level cap (lvl99). If you uninstall the mod and your save does not have at least 54,664,200 EXP accrued, all the gear you collected with the mod installed will be at level 99 while your character won’t, making it so you won’t be able to use that gear until you level up to 99.

-It renders XP leveling and gear stat maxing aspect of the game irrelevant. Many people enjoy that aspect of RPGs. If that’s you, you probably won’t like this mod.

Streamlined Progression

Level ranking is an artificial way to provide the player with the illusion of progression. No problem there. We like video games, we like illusions. Some like me though, don’t think XP level ranking and gating contributes to the enjoyment of a huge single player game like Odyssey. It’s very difficult to completely strip level ranking from a game made around it. So this mod makes it irrelevant by boosting your character to max level from the start.

Your character will be at level cap as soon as you pick up Phobos at Marcos’ vineyard. There will be no enemies or missions either above or below level 99 (with some exceptions during tutorials and some scripted sequences).

Streamlined Playstyles

• []Assassin and Warrior playstyles are made more distinct so it really feels different when you adopt one approach or the other without changing your build. [/]

  []There’s no true “hunter” play-style. How you se the bow and which bow abilities you use will serve one approach or the other.[/]

  []Both playstyles are available to the player at all times. Instead of depending on stat perks on the gear you use, the advantages and disadvantages of each style will derive from tweaked abilities and mastery multipliers, leaving the gear and perks you choose relevant only to either maximize a committed approach, or balance out the vulnerabilities it offers.[/]

  []Assassin approach is consistently lethal, you can strip your character of all armor, both melee weapons and use the 1st bow you got from Drucilla in the beginning of the game and still be able to wipe an entire fortress in stealth on nightmare difficulty.[/]

  []Warrior approach can tank a lot of damage due to high health gains only available in open combat. Melee damage is ideally toned down (adjustable in-game). Buffs have been reworked to have crowd control and elemental damage play a more fun and significant role when fighting.[/]

  []Elemental damage is a lot more relevant and it’s impact more visible. You apply status faster, they last longer and spread farther. [/]

Status duration is increased.

“Burning applies to nearby enemies” perk spreads the affliction in 20 meters (from vanilla 5)

“Intoxication applies to nearby enemies” perk spreads the affliction in 10 meters (from vanilla 5)

Weakening effect (makes them take more dmg and hit less hard) is 30% at base making poison even more effective against elites and bosses.

To bring poison closer to the effectiveness of fire, poison ticks twice as fast and engravings buff poison tick damage (which it doesn’t in vanilla)

It’s possible to build around both elements in the same build and still be effective.

Streamlined Gear

In older titles in this series, what allows the player to progress through the game are choices in approach, unlockable abilities, unique perks and tools available to your character along the story, not basic stats in your armor and weapons.

[]All Basic stats like crit chance, crit damage, resistances, etc come from your character not the gear.[/]

[]You are free to choose the engravings and set perks to really change the gameplay instead of holding base stats.[/]

[]The fact that a lot of these perks and legendary sets only become available at certain points of the story makes progression meaningful because throughout the story, you become able to do things you weren’t able to do before.[/]

[*]Many unique engravings which are nerfed versions of set perks have been changed as to have equivalent values of se
