📋 About This Mod
Overview:
We know and love long lasting buffs we acquire through quests, or interracting with interesting things.
But they go away, and you could be tempted to time the moment you acquire them to use them exactly when you need them, instead of organically playing the game. You could also be tempted to take a habit of renewing them after every long rest, for those you can (looking at you, Ethel's well).
No more! With this mod, you get to keep those buffs. No more unimmersive planning!*
Some of these buffs are very powerful however, so they have been tuned down to accomodate for their new duration.
But that's not all, some other things I found not useful enough got buffed or altered as well.
Keep in mind this is somewhat modular. If any of these changes are not to your taste, it is easy to remove/alter them for yourself, I'll explain how.
Note as well this is balanced towards a modded increased difficulty. If any of this is too much for your personal game experience, that's why it's modular.
If you like my work and would like to support me, it would mean a lot.
