📋 About This Mod

Life in Night City has to have some meaning. Main quests are important but not your entire life of a merc. Your job? Get those sweet gigs in order, and kill a lot of people while you're at it choom.

Developer's rant:

What does this do?

This mod completely reshapes leveling throughout the game. Not everything will hand out experience left and right. You'll get experience from selective content only. Main idea is simple; Your reputation comes from the work you do for fixers. Your level also primarily comes from that same merc work. The big personal stories (check the list below) still matter and still shape the destination ahead, but they are not the daily grind. Everything else is life in Night City. Relationships, side stories, street crime and so on.

Which quests I'll be getting experience from?

Act 1:

  • []The Rescue → The Ripperdoc → The Ride → The Information  → The Pickup → The Heist[/]

Act 2:

  • []Playing for Time → Tapeworm[/]

Takemura:

  • []Down on the Street → Gimme Danger → Play It Safe → Search and Destroy[/]

Panam (finding Hellman):

  • []Ghost Town → Lightning Breaks → Life During Wartime [/]

Judy (finding Evelyn):

  • []Automatic Love → The Space in Between → Disasterpiece [/]

Johnny (finding Alt):

  • []M'ap Tann Pèlen → I Walk the Line → Transmission[/]

Phantom Liberty:

  • []Dog Eat Dog → Hole in the Sky → Spider and the Fly → Lucretia My Reflection →  The Damned  → Get It Together →  You Know My Name  → Birds with Broken Wings  → I've Seen That Face Before → Firestarter[/]

    Story-critical quests in the kept list multiplier is 0. 2x LVL XP, a reduced privilege for narrative importance since everything quest-related is zeroed. This should get you to approximately 5 LVL after The Heist.

    Just as the same ideology with my Reputation Rebalance, main source of experience are the gigs. More dangerous the gig, more the experience you get. But life in Night City is hard. Gangs and dangerous people are looking to flatline you, choom. So, more dangerous the enemy, more XP you get. Preem, huh?

    Experience tables are in images section.
