📋 About This Mod
We all know MEA was rushed and abandoned after 10 patches (1. 10) the game was never really completed in the sense of proper balance. The game has no properly balanced powers, no proper squad mates, bullet sponge enemies and just in general the balance of the game could have been better balanced or at least BioWare should have put more effort in trying!
Today we are gonna focus on balanced squad mates. This mod tries to achieve balance in your squad mates, by carefully looking at each squad mate and try to balance each out on her or his particular needs. Something the base-game never achieved. Now you will be the Pathfinder with the proper team to back you up! With BAD SQUADMATES squad mates carry their own weight!
The goal of this mod is to help your team be more useful, allow them to carry their own weight in combat without you doing all the work and to make each one more unique BUT it's not aimed to be OP or to face roll the game.
What will this mod do?
> Boost to the effectiveness of all powers.
> Each power has been examined and updated with the particular needs of each squad mate.
> Gives a mix of major and minor changes depending on the particular squad mate in question.
The result?
> Each particular squad mate power has been updated and re-balanced accordingly.
> Each squad mate has there passive powers uniquely improved to offer the most viable game play
> You can play any squadmate now, everyone is an asset with their new particular power/ stats upgrades and improvements.
Example: Our blond bimbo Cora has a bigger increase to powers because I felt like her role is best suited as a space-mage. Drack has the most health because he should feel like a walking Fortress due to his Blood lust power.
> Intstall the mod like normal.
> Re-spec all squadmates at the Tempest.
> Save the game and load the game.
What do you need?
> Suggested difficulty to play on for most engaging gameplay: Hardcore or Insanity (lower difficulty might be boring with this mod)
> This mod will conflict with WEAK_POWERS(BEGONE) if you want to use them both? USE: Bad_Powers_Compleet(
