📋 About This Mod

TLDR: M'rissi's quest rewards will be more balanced, and/or useful, some bugs were fixed, and the difficulty of a few things in the quests was rebalanced to be fairer.Try it if you like M'rissi

------------

Rewards

  • []Albret (merchant): will have 10K gold for trading, and will sell a much varied selection of items, including ingredients, weapons, armor, staves, jewelry, scrolls, etc.

  • []Sleep bonuses toned down slightly, they were too high and it was too easy to reapply them. This applies to all rewards, which included things like quadrupling the size of sweet spot from locks, and giving you 20% resistance to frost magic (on top of normal resistance).

  • []Isael and Teleria no longer have lootable Daedric/Ebony daggers, and thus giving you effort-free access to high-tier items.

  • []Summon M'rissi: spell cost reduced to 25 and is cast silently, reducing the chances it alerts enemies.

  • []New food items: these items were rebalanced, reducing OP effects such as 200 Magic Fortify and improving mild bonuses, lasting for a relatively shorter amount of time (all of them last for over an hour except a 30 minute one).

    Quests

    • []Isael/Nightmare have a 95% bonus to all magic damage. That, coupled with total immunity to stagger, a massive amount of magicka, and the ability to spam dual-cast chain lightning, made the difficult slightly off in terms of challenge as far as I'm concerned. I fixed this by toning down a bit the magic damage and adding more relevant perks. There is a small counterbalance to this: they start-off at level 25, and they're always 150% your current level, up to level 200. I don't like the straight immunity to stagger, but hopefully this makes the fight easier to defend against without being OP.

    • []Teleria slightly rebalanced to act as a much weaker Isael (which seemed the original intent anyway), with the counterbalance that she doesn't have to rely on Thunderbolt exclusively, and therefore depleting magicka quickly (has access to Chain Lighting).

      []Khajiit party leader is significantl
