Slower Reading Speed

Slower Reading Speed

Drags out book reading to one-fifth its normal speed with a perk that makes Henry linger over every page. Unlike Matt's Longer Books, which tweaks each book’s XML, this mod uses a global perk that adapts seamlessly to game updates or new books.

Lore: Savoring Pages, Reader's Delight

After escaping Skalitz, Henry found an old book among a priest’s scattered belongings—a crumbling tale of knights and rogues. Barely literate, he traced each word with a finger, piecing it together by firelight in a camp in the wilds. The stories sparked something in him: a chance to escape his grief, to live beyond the blood and mud. Now, every book he finds, he reads slowly, savoring every line like a hard-won treasure, letting the world fade away.

How It Works

This mod introduces a single perk, "Savoring Every Page Slowly," which reduces reading speed to 20% of its base value (a 500% decrease). Applied automatically, it affects all books without altering individual book files.

Base Game Reading Speed → 100% (No Perk)

With Perk → 20% (Savoring Every Page Slowly)
