Hardcore Rebalance for Potions (PTF)

This is a preset I made for myself, but maybe some of you will want to use it too, so there you go.

Currently supported languages:

English by me

Russian by Apatio

Installation: extract to KingdomComeDeliverance2/Mods/. If you don't have this folder, create it. Install "Hardcore Rebalance for Potions", then chose either Default Alcoholic Potions or More Alcoholic Potions. You should end up with 2 extracted folders in your Mods folder.

Optional files:

1. adds alcohol effect to some potions that should have it. Basically, every potion that has poppy, beladonna, or an alcoholic base will now also make you drunk (so it's kinda like your "toxicity"). The higher the potion's quiality is, the less alcohol it will have. So now if you want to chug a bunch of potions at a time, you either gotta have high Drinking skill, or be good at Alchemy to produce better quality potions. Potions affected by this: Embrocation, Bard, Painkiller, Bowman's, Nighthawk. The alcohol levels are not very high, with the exception of Painkiller, which now has the highest alcohol content of all potions, but was also buffed, and is now the most useful panic potion in a though fight, considring you can no longer heal fast.

2. renames all "Henry's" potions to "Potent" potions

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the list of all potions that were changed. If some effect is not mentioned, it was not changed. Check out the poisons at the bottom, the changes are pretty huge. Bane is now almost exclusevely for poisoning food, and Dollmaker is more weapons-oriented and will no longer stop enemies from running, but will affect enemies fighting capabilities more.

In general, potions are made 20-30% weaker. Slashed duration for many. Some were buffed, some now have new effects.

Speech +1/2/3/4

Duration decreased by 75%.

No longer gives XP bonus.

I've changed the way reading speed bonus is applied, it now gives you 20/30/40/50% bonuses and they stack with Cushion, the cap is now 200% with the perk + Fox lvl 4 -- it used to be 150%.

I would also recommend installing "Matt's Longer Books" -- should make this potion last just enough to read one book of appropriate tier, and make this buff actually viable. The same mod also makes books give you 2x XP, which should compensate for Fox's XP nerf in a balanced way.
