📋 About This Mod
This is a simple mod that adds bandits in the wilderness.
There are already mods that do the same thing like Vvardenfell Bandits, Friends and Foes, Outlaws or The Hostiles.
Vvardenfell bandits has the issue of using vanilla levelled lists so there's just too many bandits and with a spawn chance that's way too high, plus you can run into weird stuff like bandits spawning too close to towns.
The others are fine in many ways, but have too many features, new items, and the enemies can get to extremely high levels like 70-80, which is lore-breaking.
The spawn points here are hand-placed and the spawn chance is reasonably low as I believe getting ambushed by a bandit should be something that can happen once in a while, not a guaranteed encounter every time you leave a town.
- The default version has a 10% spawn chance for every spawn point
- The lower spawn version has a 2% chance for every spawn point
- The third version has 1% spawn chance, for those who only want to meet a few bandits over course of a playthrough
CyrianWarlord as I used his leveled lists as a starting point
