Better Difficulties

Better Difficulties

Avowed 2. 1 ready

Mod changes harder difficulties (Hard and Path of the Damned):

PotD "Less Glass-Cannony":

• []Enemy Damage: 3 -> 2. 5, Enemy HP: 1. 5 -> 2, [/]

  []Companion HP / Companion Damage: 1. 5 / 1 -> 2 / 1. 25[/]

• []Enemy Damage: 3 -> 3, [/]

  []Enemy HP / Stability / Elemental Accumulation / Attack Speed: 1. 5 / 1. 5 / 1. 5 / 1. 2 -> 3. 5 / 2 / 2 / 1. 35, [/]

  []Companion HP / Damage / Elem. Accumulation: 1. 5 / 1 / 1. 5 -> 2 / 1. 25 /2,[/]

  []Potions/Food Regen 1 / 1 -> 0. 8 / 0. 5, [/]

  []Trap Damage 1 -> 1. 35 [/]

  Important feature in PoTD Extreme versions - with mod installed both PotD and Hard in settings will be identical stats wise, but Hard has global speed reduced to 40% of normal (aka slow-mo). You can switch from PotD to Hard in combat to get the edge with blocks, dodges and just bit more time to size up the situation.

  I play with PoTD Extreme difficulty and highly suggest it for anyone looking for long tactical fights, preparations and hard equipment choices.

  There are also small food tweaks for PotD fans in Optional Files - one file reduces amount of HP/essence food regenerate (50% for normal cooked food, ~35% for OP high-tier food), another makes food regeneration continuous out of combat as well (faster than in combat, but you still can't rush from encounter to encounter without potions). Both can be used together and with any of difficulty version. Or as standalone mods.

  And there are XP bonuses (from default harder difficulties and from custom presets) disabler if you don't feel like harder difficulties bonuses are fair. Mind, this version has nothing to do to difficulty presets and made only for those who want vanilla sliders custom difficulty without XP bonuses.

  Installation

  Unzip archive content to game folder. If you did everything right, you will get 3 000_CustomDifficulty_P files in Alabama/Content/Paks/~mods.

  Bear in mind, to make Extreme or Less Glass Cannony work difficulty in the game should be set to Hard or PotD, not to Custom.

  Also, to make presets work, I needed to increase limits for sliders. Therefore if you use sliders with mod installed, some values will differ from vanilla (Greatly Increased Enemy HP will be 3. 5, Default Potions/Food from 1/1 to 0. 8/0. 5 etc).

  Uninstallation

  Remove 000_CustomDifficulty_P files from ~Mods.

  Compatibility

  Should be compatible with anything.

  Works with Steam and Gamepass (PC) versions.

  Doesn't break achievements.
