BTB's Game Improvements - Necro Edit

Summary

This is a modified version of BTB's Game Improvements. All modules except for the character module have been combined into a single plugin (BTB's race- and birthsign-related edits in the character module are in a separate plugin). BTB's edits that he included in his modified versions of Morrowind Advanced and Service Requirements have been incorporated. In addition, quite a number of changes have been made from the original BTBGI, and a number of new things have been added.

Introduction to BTBGI

BTB's Game Improvements is a massive game balance overhaul that touches on just about every aspect of Morrowind. Among its many changes are:

- Races and birthsigns are rebalanced so that each of them are uniquely useful, rather than some being ridiculously overpowered while others are worse than useless.

- Magic effects and spells are modified to provide a wider range of genuinely useful options while eliminating many exploits. Your starting spells are also generally more useful.

- Magic effect costs have been tweaked to balance their usefulness, both as spells and as potions.

- A number of effects have been disabled for spellmaking and enchanting, to prevent exploits.

- NPCs have quite a few new powerful spells to use against you.

- Ingredient values have been modified to reflect their rarity or difficulty in acquiring them.

- Ingredient effects have been rebalanced to make potion creation both more useful and more hazardous (due to negative effects being more common in created potions).

- The game's stock potions have been overhauled to make them all useful without being too overpowered, and to prevent certain exploits.

- Values of overpriced equipment have been drastically lowered.

- Equipment stats and especially enchantments have been painstakingly overhauled. No more is the game's equipment divided into a mountain of useless junk on the one hand and a few overpowered gems on the other hand.

- Many game settings have been modified to improve game balance or increase difficulty.

- Enchanted items will no longer regain charge over time, requiring the use of soulgems to recharge them.

- It's no longer possible to self-enchant items, or to make custom constant effect enchantments.

- Skill progression rates have been overhauled in many cases.

This is an extremely brief summary of BTBGI, and there are many more changes not mentioned here. I recommend checking out BTB's original documentation, included in the archive, and especially his excellent readme, for a lot more information about BTBGI, along with BTB's reasoning for many of his changes.
