📋 About This Mod
Roleplay & Realism mod pack
, by HazelnutDescription
This mod pack contains optional modules to enhance roleplay and realism for Daggerfall Unity gameplay. Enable / disable the modules in the mod settings. The intention is to add small mini-mod modules to this over time that support roleplay and realism to enhance immersion for those that desire it. There's a companion mod pack called Roleplay & Realism: Items specifically focussing on items and loot. It's in a different mod because the base item refinements cannot be disabled from settings so instead you can choose to install that mod pack or not.

Clickable Beds
Simple module that enables bed models to be activated. When activated, it pops up the sleep menu and disables the auto-teleport to a bedroom in taverns. Now works on dungeon beds!
Advanced archery
Adjusts damage and hit chance depending on length of bow draw. Obviously only works with the bow draw option enabled in main DFU settings. If you release an arrow too soon, damage and hit chances are reduced. Same if you hold the bow drawn too long. Releasing at the right point will give a slight increase to hit chance.
The tables below shows the current implementation of adjustments:
Draw time effect on damage:
0s - . 8s = damage is scaled linearly up to default damage
. 8s - 5s = normal default damage
5s - 6s = 85% damage
6s - 8s = 75% damage
8s - 9s = 50% damage
9s - = 25% damage
Draw time effect on hit chance:
0s - . 2s = -40 to hit
. 2s - . 5s = -10 to hit
. 5s - 1s = normal to hit
1s - 2s = +10 to hit
2s - 5s = normal to hit
5s - 8s = -10 to hit
8s - = -20 to hit
Enhanced Horseriding
Enhances horse riding, making it more realistic looking and providing new abilities.
