Morrowind - Hardcore Mode

For experienced players, Morrowind can get to be way too easy.  If you want to up your game and enjoy a new Morrowind experience that is very challenging, yet fun, fair, rewarding, and free of exploits, then this mod is for you. New saves required. Check out my Before And After video for a preview of the hardcore combat.

Many exploits (if not all of them) are no longer possible. If you like using the console to circumvent any challenge in the game, then this mod is NOT for you.  You no longer have to start the game at 100% difficulty to have any challenge. You will need all your expertise to survive in this mod.  You will need every tool at your disposal as your limits are tested. That sense of danger around every corner will be through the whole game, even after your character gets very strong.  Thats my goal.  I have also fully overhauled the economy. Mercantile and speechcraft now have a real purpose. I have done what every other economy balance mod has failed to do in the past by fixing it completely without cutting corners or using buggy scripts.

Rebirth Compatibility:

It is compatible, however, if you use rebirths game settings esp, you will have to decide which mods game setting changes take priority by placing the one you prefer last in the load order.  You may notice that (some) fights are even harder with rebirth and hardcore installed together, which is... fine really.

OPENMW Compatibility: If you use openmw you will notice that haggling does not work the same with this mod installed. This is because hardcore's economy is balanced around the code patch(MCP) economy bug fixes, which openmw doesnt have.  Openmw has their own economy fix which is different from MCP.  If openmw implemented  the exact same economy bug fixes as MPC does there would be no issue, but sadly this is where we are.  However you can work around this by raising up your mercantile skill via console or practice trading.  Suggest raising it up to 50 skill to bypass the haggle issue.  Or you can use one of the few economy mods out there that work in openmw, just put them last in the load order.  They can cause issues though, like messing up trainers skills, but they do fix the haggle problem.  Use at your own discretion.

TAMRIEL REBUILT:  Im gonna say its not compatible.  TR adds new creatures and npc's which are not tailored for hardcore.  Any global settings will still affect them, but TR's new creatures and npcs will not be as challenging as the vanilla ones.  The new npc merchants added by TR will not be fully affected by my economy changes and therefore are exploitable as they are in vanilla.  If a TR spell merchant is set to autocalc and has spells that are removed by this mod, the game might crash when you v
