Iron Path - Warrior Gameplay and Perk Overhaul

I have played through many fantastic perk overhaul in the past, SPERG, Ordinator, Adamant, Vokrii. All are great fun and inspiring. And recently I played more games like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Enderal, etc., I started to have lots of thoughts and ideas about combat, progression and ability in action RPG games.

So this is my attempt to overhaul Skyrim into a more action-focus RPG.

Iron Path is the first installment of my overhaul project which mainly focus on melee combat aspect.

Design Goal

• []Make Skyrim into a more action-focus RPG.

  []Designed with action mods like MCO and dodge mod in mind.

  []Enable different fighting style.

  Fundamental Changes

  • []Humanoid NPC including player cannot regenerate health in combat, You can only use potion or healing spell to restore health in combat.

    []Player cannot regenerate magicka in combat, you can only use potion to restore magicka in combat. Also magicka regenerate slower when out of combat.

    []Stamina regenerate faster equally in combat or out of combat. Stamina consumption tweaked and other restriction added. (e.g. stamina stop regenerate when attacking, blocking, casting. )

    []Player leveling up grant 6 points of attribute (Health/Magicka/Stamina) instead of 10 in vanilla to make your choice more meaningful, especially with all the stat scaling perks in Iron Path. Highly recommended to use the Uncapper Setting in optional files and its related mods which provide a much more balanced progression experience.

    []Movement speed of various action tweaked for more fluid combat and movement.

    []Max. armor rating capped at 70% instead of vanilla 80%.

    []Enemy gain 15 point of health per level instead of 5.

    Difficulty setting changes:

    • []Novice:         1. 5x damage dealt / 0. 5x damage received

      []Apprentice:  1. 0x damage dealt / 1. 0x damage received

      []Adept:           1. 0x damage dealt / 1. 5x damage received

      []Expert:          1. 0x damage dealt / 2. 0x damage received

      []Master:         1. 0x damage dealt / 2. 5x damage received

      []Legendary:   1. 0x damage dealt / 3. 0x damage received
