Dynamic Difficulty
MWSE-Lua mod by NullCascade
Part of the May Modathon Month
This mod adds a configurable difficulty curve to the game, by modifying the in-game difficulty setting as the player levels up or, if configured to do so, travels around.
Requirements & Installation:
This mod uses the alpha and thus experimental and not necessarily stable 2. 1-branch of MWSE, currently in development. By using this mod, you're basically asking to be a tester! If you encounter any issues please post a report, ideally on the MWSE bug tracker. You can download the latest nightly build from the link below.
This this mod requires Morrowind Graphic Extender (MGE-XE) version 0. 10. 0. Older versions will not work with MWSE 2. 0+! Additionally, it will require the latest nightly build of MWSE 2. 1.
To install the mod, extract the archive into your Morrowind installation folder. There is no ESP to activate.
