📋 About This Mod
Depth Perception
Combat Experience series
Current version: 1. 0
Author: Aracelliy (aka empty525 on nexus)
NOTE: This requires Morrowind Code Patch to work as of version 1. 0. You need to enable the feature under "mod support" called "Weapon resistance change". This will stop most weapons ignoring Resist Normal Weapons.
Description
Enhance your combat experience!
This mod aims to make combat a lot less frustrating by reducing the miss rate of close quarters fights alot and making Weapon Skill now effect how much damage you do instead and depending on which version you choose, Sanctuary and Agility will still mean something too!
The main features of this mod:
- Increases your hit chance by 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (guranteed hit) accordingly (on top of your hit chance from Weapon Skill)
- Gives all NPCs you fight tougher skin by reducing the damage you do BASED on your weapon skill level
0-9 Weapon Skill = 90% reduced damage
10-19 Weapon Skill = 80% reduced damage
20-29 Weapon Skill = 70% reduced damage
30-39 Weapon Skill = 60% reduced damage
40-49 Weapon Skill = 50% reduced damage
50-59 Weapon Skill = 40% reduced damage
60-69 Weapon Skill = 30% reduced damage
70-79 Weapon Skill = 20% reduced damage
80-89 Weapon Skill = 10% reduced damage
90+ Weapon Skill = NO reduced damage
- All NPCs in the game also get increased hit chance according to the version you choose
Every NPC you encounter will have a Resist Normal Weapons ability added to them based on your currently equipped and DRAWN weapon, so if you have a Dagger out, then your Short Blade skill will decide the buff they get, or a Axe, then Axe skill. There is a limitation to this, you have to be close enough to have the NPC "targetted" for the effect to occur, so I believe Marksman will have to get a proper shot off first, otherwise I think zoom will do the same.
Added Fortify Attack spell to all playable races in the game (if there is a custom mod/race you want, PM me, I will happily add a patch) by either 25, 50, 75 or 100 that is the character's "Depth Perception". Each having different affects on average miss rate. There is a BTB - Character compatabilily version that INCLUDES everything in BTB - Character.esp so do not use both as the same time. Please check the Files for a README with all the included Changes in BTB's - Character.
I use BTB's modifications to Wakim's Game Improvements, I would recommend having a look at them or atleast replacing the WGI version of Character changes to BTB's included in this mod. If there is another popular Birthsign/R
