📋 About This Mod

Enemies get stronger the more they kill you. OpenMW.

Description

The enemies that kill you will get stronger every time they kill you. This is tracked per-character, across saves.

Now you don't need to feel bad about save scumming.

Main features

Everything is configurable. Scale enemies by:

  • []Health.[/]

    []Fatigue.[/]

    []Magicka.[/]

    []Attributes, with a preference to Class-Preferred Attributes.[/]

    []Class Skills.[/]

    []Level.[/]

    []Better Equipment! Lots of knobs to tune here. See below.[/]

    []New Spells.[/]

    Nemesis enemies get a crown visual effect so you know they've been buffed. You can turn this off.

    By default, only naturally aggressive creatures and actors are eligible.

    You can enable Neglect. If you ignore your Nemesis, they will train up every X in-game days.

    Equipment Scaling

    You can configure Nemeses so that they permanently keep their upgraded equipment, or so that their equipment gets reset when they die.

    On top of that, you have these options:

    - Replace equipment with common equipment that is more expensive. The list of items here is derived from leveled lists in Vanilla and TR.

    - Replace equipment with any equipment that is more expensive. This means unique items might show up.

    - Replace equipment with Improved versions. These look exactly like the original equipment, but they are marginally better in a random stat for each level of improvement. There are 9 levels of improvements. Stats include weight, condition, enchant capacity, speed, max damage, and base armor. Nothing game-breaking, I promise.

    I recommend playing with Permanent and Improve.

    Installation instructions

    Extract to your mods/ folder. In your openmw.cfg file, add these lines in the correct spots:

    data="/wherevermymodsare/mods/ErnNemesis-main"

    #FollowerDetectionUtil must be loaded before ErnNemesis.

    #content=FollowerDetectionUtil.omwscripts

    content=ErnNemesis.omwscripts

    []This mod doesn't prevent you from dying, reloading, save-scumming, etc.[/]

    []It's compatible with other mods that add penalties to the player on death.[/]

    []Every time you are killed with a character, the NPCs that killed the character will be buffed across all saves for that character.[/]

    []You can choose to not upgrade equipment, permanently replace original equipment with upgraded equipment, or delete upgraded equipment on death.[/]
