Review by Brodual: GsVGieKm1GA Review by Misalen: krXr_GjrMIs I think we can all agree, that Skyrim sometimes is a little bit, erm, lacking, when we talk about challenge. This is why I decided to create this mod.
This mod's goal is to make the game harder. No, not "you die in one shot" harder, but just... OMFG YOU GOT THE POINT. GAME IS HARDER.
Now I hear you asking: "But Sag, how is this harder? You did not give us any information yet!". Here are some of the things this game changes. I'm gonna say it right now: this mod does NOT change vanilla form. So it is probably compatible with 99. 9% of mods on Nexus. So yes, it's compatible with your Skimpy Armors Overhaul mod. Probably.
But I'm losing my point again. Here's what this mod does:
[]Fast travel has been disabled. Woohoo, big surprise right here! Looks like you will HAVE to spend these Septims to travel back and forth! []Health regen has been disabled. No more ERMAGHERD AN ARROW TO THE FACE OH I'M FINE NOW situations. Now you MUST find healing potions. But the thing is... []All potions are now really weaker. When I say really, things are getting serious. They are like, 65% less efficient, you know. "But Sag, joke's on you, I'll buy more of them and simply spam them". []Nope Sir, shame is on YOU. Yes, you can still spam them, but all BUY prices have been raised. This include all items, even potions and poisons. Yup. Now cry. []Running depletes your stamina. Not only sprinting. RUNNING TOO. FINALLY. This also affects other NPC's. []The less stamina you have, the less damage you do. Self explaining, and goes well with the above feature: keep your breath for battles, for god's sake. []Talking about battles, this mod adds more unlevelled enemies. With your basic and boring level 5 bandit, will come their level 50 friends. You really should get protected now. []Heavy armours make you slower. ALL heavy armours, even from other mods. The higher your Heavy Armor skill is, the faster you will be, not never as much as someone who wears a light armor. This also affects other NPC's. []Heavy Armours are MUCH more efficient against all weapon types. Affects the player and NPC's. []Light Armours and clothing have a weakness to arrows, but make you faster. Basically, someone who wears an heavy armour will be a damage-absorbing tank, and someone who has a light armour will be faster and more agile. Affects the player and NPC's. [*]Spells scale with the player's current magicka... But will also unscale. This happens dynamically. For example, spamming the Flames spell wil
