📋 About This Mod

Removes friendly fire from warriors attacks/abilities and/or reduces damage done by friendly fire by choosen amount.

This mod containst two files: one to remove friendly fire from warriors attacks/abilities (apart Whirlwind and Scatter) and the other simple modifications to friendly fire on nightmare difficulty so as to have the damage done by it customizable by users. The damage factor file contains different damage factors, ranging from 5% to 50%, you can choose the one you prefer. I made this mod primarly for use along my \"Better Combat\" mod. There are various friendly fire mods around here but I couldn\'t find one that changed the amount of damage done by it or that removed friendly fire from warriors. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you use my mod \"Better Combat\" then don\'t install the file to remove friendly fire on warriors because it is already bundled there, with other changes. *********************************************************************************************************** PURPOUSE OF THE MOD: ******************************************************************************************************** Many users try nightmare difficulty because they like friendly fire but, while it worked perfectly fine in DAO, they now cannot cope with it in the sequel. So, out of frustration, they just revert back to hard difficulty or use a mod to remove the friendly fire altogheter. Probably, however, they dislike the \"unrealism\" of not having friendly fire and in turn this reduces their enjoyment of the game. In reality the issue is very simple: since the talents\' damage is increased because enemies have much more health in comparision to party members, friendly fire does much more damage than it did in DAO because the proportion is out of place. Add to this the fact that now either warriors do friendly fire and the issue becomes larger (in fact many users in nightmare are forced on using a certain party formations because elsewhere it is almost impossible to cope with the too much FF damage). With a reduced damage factor the experience returns similar to the one of DAO and users can finally appreaciate \"realism\" without all the troubles of original nightmare in DA2. They can now choose more freely the companions they want to take because two handers will not instantly kill other party members if the AI does something stupid and so on. Plus this mod gives the users the choice to have warriors don\'t do FF in nightmare, thus much increasing the freedom on party formations they can employ in nightmare difficulty. I suggest users that are new to nightmare difficulty in DA2, but were used to DAO, to use a factor of 15%-20%; this is the range most similar to that game. For users that are new to nightmare difficulty and want to start appreciating it without dying everytime, 5%-10%. I will explain different values better in the next section. *********************************************************************************************************** HOW TO CHOOSE THE DAMAGE FACTOR PROPERLY (very important, read carefully)
