Difficulty Remastered

This mod increases or decreases enemy health by 0. 25x - 5x without touching damage multipliers. It is meant to be played on Adept difficulty where damage dealt/damage received is 1:1

Is Adept difficulty too easy and Expert difficulty unfun?

Do you want more or less challenge, but hate Oblivion Remastered's 20 year old broken difficulty sliders? Instead of increasing the enemy damage multiplier and decreasing player damage multiplier (which results in awkward balancing issues like companions and summons being way overpowered), this mod reworks NPC health scaling without altering player/enemy damage ratios. The Player's health, damage dealt and damage received remain the same. NPCs' damage dealt and damage received will also remain the same, but they will have 0. 25-5x the amount of health depending on the option you download.

Why is this better?

• []It doesn't make you feel ridiculously weak. The Vanilla difficulty slider nerfs the Player's damage to 60% and boosts enemy damage to 300% on Expert difficulty and nerfs the Player's damage to 20% and boosts enemy damage to 500% on Master difficulty. This mod keeps damage between Player and enemies consistent.

  []It isn't immersion breaking. No more seeing your companions and summons take out enemies in a few hits while it would take you 5-15 hits (or vice versa on easier difficulties).

  []It feels challenging. With the 1. 5x and above options, no longer will you be able to steamroll vampires at level 3. Now you'll have to play more cautiously and strategically or flee to fight another day when you're stronger.

  []Alternatively if you want to enemies to die faster, use 0. 25x, 0. 5x or 0. 75x to make humanoid NPCs have less health than normal (you can even combine this with Expert or Master difficulty to make both the player and enemies effectively easier to kill).
