📋 About This Mod

NOTE: Patch 6 came out March 23 2015 and broke the DAI Mod Manager. There is a fix as of April 03. See this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/493

This mod changes the experience points required for level up within Dragon Age Inquisition so that progression is more consistent and less random. This mod comes in three flavors:

Fast: Increases level up speed about 30 percent so that you will be level 21 about the time you would normally be level 18. This version allows most players to reasonably achieve the maximum level of 27 without being completionists. This was the original version, designed for people who like leveling up regularly as it gives you something to look forward to and improves the loot you find.  If you wait until the last map to become level 18, the chances of finding the best gear in 1 play through are not so great.

Slow: Makes it increasingly harder to gain levels such that most people will noticeably stall around level 14 or 15. If you pay attention to the min/max enemy levels of the various maps, you will realize that level 14/15 is a great place to stall and still provides access to most loot. This version allows people to focus on the main campaign up to a point, but will require you to revisit all those old areas and find your inner completionist before you are powerful enough to take on the final maps and confrontation.

SlowB: SlowB requires about the same amount of XP to reach level 20 as the Slow version, but SlowB distributes the burden more evenly so that progression is noticeably slowed as early as level 5. This version requires players to be completionists from the beginning. You will need to clear every map and perform every task to get the min levels needed to progress. I advise users who download this version to also grab a mod that eliminates the inventory limit as you are likely to end up with lots of loot you can't equip for a good portion of the game.

DAI Leveling:

Experimentation has shown that DAI appears to keep track of how much XP you have earned. However what is displayed under character attributes only shows how much XP you have earned since the last level up and how much you need for the next level.

So if you are level 12 with 5000 XP, you really have 74000 XP, but the game hides 69000 of it and only shows how much you have earned since turning level 12 and how much you need for the next level up event.

When you install these leveling tables, your level will adjust based on your actual total XP. Early in the game (pre-level 6), all the tables are similar, so changes are unlikely. The further into the game you are, the higher the probability you will see an adjustment occur.

Skill points appear to be untouched by table changes. This can be good o

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

NewExperienceTable by Dheuster tweaks the XP curve in Skyrim, offering two versions that either speed up leveling by about 30% or slow it down by the same amount. It's a simple, popular gameplay mod for players who want a faster or slower progression pace.

✨ Key Features

Changes the experience points required for level up to make progression more consistent.
High community adoption with 3,704 endorsements and 84,225 downloads.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 3,704 endorsements and over 84k downloads—clearly fills a need.
  • Simple choice: pick the 30% faster or 30% slower version to match your preferred pacing.
  • Lightweight gameplay tweak that doesn't overhaul other systems, so it's easy to integrate.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2015—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.
  • Only offers a flat 30% change; no options for custom percentages or finer tuning.
  • No detailed documentation on how the XP curve is altered, so you can't predict exact leveling behavior.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who find the default leveling too fast or too slow and want a simple, proven fix. If you're a completionist who wants to stretch out the early game or a veteran who wants to reach high levels quicker, this mod delivers. Skip if you need granular control over XP rates or play on a recent Skyrim version without compatibility patches.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Choose only one version—installing both will cause conflicts.
  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check the mod's comments for user-made patches or use a mod manager to ensure compatibility.
  • Test the mod early in a new playthrough to see if the pacing feels right before committing.
