📋 About This Mod
BasicsHow the idea for this mod came to me - It's just a little long. Read only if you want to.
Various mods have been released to increase the opportunity to earn Perk points for the purpose of motivating quests.
However, I personally felt that the existing mods gave too many Perk points.
e.g. one Perk point for just defeating one bandit chief.
Especially if you are using vanilla plus style perk tree mods (Vokrii - Minimalistic Perks of Skyrim, Adamant - A Perk Overhaul, etc.), introducing mods that directly gain perk points will obviously result in excessive perk acquisition.
The pattern I have fallen into in the past is as follows :
- Introduce multiple mods to increase the chance of getting park points
- Need huge perk tree mods to match the number of perk points gained (e.g. mods that combine multiple perk trees)
- Players get too strong of a character as a result of being enhanced with multiple perks.
- Introduce a mod to strengthen enemies & increase their appearance to match the player's strength.
I came up with the idea of improving this vicious cycle while maintaining motivation for radiant quests.
However, my initial thought was to produce a completely different mod.
I was considering Patch to subdivide the existing park tree mod.
The idea is to expand a 2-tier park to a 5-tier park, but to limit the rate of increase in each value so as not to overpower it.
e.g. 25/50% >>> 10/20/30/40/50%
The idea was to increase the total number of parks to mitigate against players becoming too strong.
However, this is not a fundamental solution, and I also thought it would be impractical because it would take a lot of time and effort to produce the patch.
The existing mods Smart Training Tweaked SE and ESO Skyshards made me aware of this.
I finally realized that the minimum unit of Quest Reward is 1 perk point, which was the problem in the first place.
The result is the Radiant Quest Point System (RQPS).
The function of the mod is very simple.
As you complete Repeatable Radiant Quests, you accumulate Radiant Quest Points (RQP), and when you reach a certain number, you finally get 1 perk point.
You can keep your motivation for Radiant Quests.
By default, you get 1 park point for every 10 RQPs accumulated. (Can be changed in the range of 1-100 at MCM)
The RQP earned can also be set differently for each quest type. (Default is set between 1-3, but can be changed in MCM as well)
For example, dragon extermination earns 3 RQPs by default, so if you kill 3 dragons, you will earn 9 RQPs.
The remaining 1 RQP may be earned by slaying the dragon to get 3 RQPs, but the extra fraction will be lost when obtain
