📋 About This Mod
MUDEX
Meaner Unleveled Daggerfall Enemy Expansion
Requires DEX: Daggerfall Enemy Expansion at Daggerfall Unity Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)
DEX is a great mod that adds tons more enemies to the game.
However, it is incompatible with Meaner Monsters and Unleveled Mobs.
This mod fixes that by re-writing the monster stats and spawn tables DEX supplies.
Meaner
This mod adds back most of the changes Meaner Monsters did:
-
[]Debuff rats/bats for a slightly softer start in Privateers Hold.
[
]Debuffs Spiders and Scorpions levels, to make their paralysis effect have shorter duration.[]Buff Werewolfs/Wereboars. Generally more durability for boars, and more armor for wolves.
[]Buffs Bears and Tigers. Generally more durability for bears, more armor/damage for tigers.
[]Buffs Highest tier mobs like Deadra Lords, Liches and Vampire Ancients
[]Buffs Mummies.
[]Buffs Giants.
[]Buffs all Orc types.
[]Debuffs zombies.
[]Buffs and differentiates Atronach types.
It also changes the stats of some DEX enemies to bring them in line with the Meaner Monster changes.
Unleveled
This mod supplies new spawn tables for the game, which are not based on level scaling.
Unleveled Mobs did what it could with one table for each dungeon. However, with the extra tools DEX supplies, it is now possible to add multiple tables for the same dungeon-type and a random one is picked for each dungeon.
So for example, a "Human Stronghold" might be:
A Martial order filled with Fighters, Knights and Archers
Or it might be a Criminal hideout filled with Thieves, Assassins and Rogues
or it might be the hideout of a Cult, containing Acolytes (supplied by DEX)
or it might be Abandoned, mostly filled with wild creatures and the odd human.
Note though, that this does not do anything with quest enemies. To make that unleveled use the Unleveled Quests file from here:
Unleveled Mobs and Quests at Daggerfall Unity Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)
Strongly recommended companion mod:
