📋 About This Mod
This is a Hardcore play through mod that highly encourages players to only reload from their last Inn Save if they die.
Description
This is a mod for Hardcore players (or anyone else who likes it) that highly encourages players to only reload from their last Inn Save if they die.
Normal autosave reloads are fine as long as you don't die but If you do die, the rule is you reload from your last Inn Save. If you find yourself lacking the honor to follow that rule manually, this mod will provide a somewhat immersive incentive.
No more running to endgame content for endgame rewards at level 1 easily, by spamming reload autosave if you take a misstep off an edge or get caught by an enemy on your way there, moving forward more and more every time you reload. You get 1 shot and that's it, and with my personal hardcore setup, it should no longer be a walk in the park.
My Personal Setup:
CampKits have 2 uses
Bosses Enemies deal 2x - 2. 5x more damage (with Custom Difficulty Mod & Simple Difficulty Tweaks)
Bestiary Mod
Curatives do 0. 010x healing towards HP
Can NOT heal at 0 HP
Regional Enemy Randomizer, spawning about twice as many random boss enemies on the roads.
The path to end game areas when you are low level will definitely be more closed off as it should be but not impossible to get to.
Installation instructions
1. Extract contents into Dragons Dogma 2\reframework\autorun
2.
MAKE A BACKUP
of the contents in your Steam\userdata folderBEFORE USING THIS MOD
because if you choose not to reload the Inn Save like you are supposed to, and try to find a work around at the point you died when you reload your autosave after dying, you risk corrupting the autosave data if you keep reloading the autosave over and over.
Also because its always a smart Idea to backup files in general.
Main features
Highly encourages players to only reload from their last Inn Save if they die.
Be careful if you choose to spam reload the autosave anyway when you die to try and work your way out of the situation you find yourself in.
During my 2-3 hours of testing the mod after completion, I notice it has a chance to corrupt your autosave data000.bin file if you spam the reload on the autosave, which can then corrupt the cache.vdf in the 2054970 folder of your userdata save files. That's why its VERY important to have a backup before using this mod.
