Another Rules Rebalance

Another rules rebalance mod

Another mod that tries to rebalance morrowind rules to make the game more immersive and reasonable.

There are dozen of similar mods, this is what I found most fun in my games.

Here is the list of what this mod does:

• []Walking speed is a bit faster.

  []High encumbrance reduces speed less.

  []Jumping feels more natural.

  []Fatigue drain is less punishing for moving, but more for fighting. As other fighting actions Spellcasting drains Fatigue. Higher Encumbrance make Spellcasting more tiring, explaining why wizards usually have little/no armor.

  []Barter disposition changes in a different way, merchants money resets slower.

  []Projectile are faster.

  []Speechcraft is rebalanced.

  []Crime related fines are doubled.

  []Greeting distance is greatly reduced. No more constant harassment while walking around

  []Magical transportation is more expensive. Why walk when you can ride? Good question. Why ride when you can teleport? Now there is a reason.

  []Skill increases are changed as in the Wakim Character esp.

  []Each level up grants exactly three +1 to attributes. But you get a fortification to Luck and Personality equal to your level and half your level respectively.

  []Blindself and Brittlewind are not autocalc anymore, so NPC won't use those. This a little-to-no effect in normal gameplay, but it solves some weird behaviors if you use the other suggested Wakim mods. I.e., NPC won't blind themselves and won't use the Hags specific Brittlewind spell.

  Installation

  Download and install all suggested mods, activate all esp files in the launcher in the same order. Put this mod last.

  Given the nature of the mods, they should be very high in the load order. Ideally just after the master files and patches (e.g., Patch for Purists, Unofficial Morrowind Official Plugins Patched, and Expansion Delay).

  Notes

  The most unusual change from similar mods is the add of fatigue drain from Spellcasting. The reason to do so are both thematic and mechanical. The thematic aspect is that for me it has always been strange that to swing a weapon is exhausting, but convince a part of world to spontaneously burst to pieces would be effortless. Secondly in Morrowind most mages wear little-to-no armors; in the vanill
