📋 About This Mod



Summary

This mod is an overhaul of the game's enemy system. I've tried to increase difficulty by editing AI, spell preferences, and attack diversity. Enemies will be much more aggressive than vanilla and have the abilities to back it up. I wanted to keep the vanilla leveling so that it is compatible with Encounter Zone mods and mods that try to delevel the world. I've also created higher level enemy variants of the enemy types that I thought needed it. For instance, the Draugr's highest non-boss level variant in vanilla is 40. I've added two more variants going up to level 60.

The Unofficial Skyrim Revamped Rebalanced and Releveled Add-On can be found here. It includes balancing tweaks, new additions and some fixes.

Combat Styles

Many difficulty mods include Combat Style edits and this is no different. Enemies will be much more aggressive than vanilla and will not stand around.

My edits are very similar to Wildcat and Combat evolved so if you have either installed, you should let this mod load after them. Some of the bosses rely on what I've done with their combat styles so if you let something overwrite them, the boss fight may not be as intended. It may not be too much of a difference but just to be safe.

New spells

I've included and distributed spells from vanilla and Apocalypse to various enemies. I've made sure that they are all actually capable of using them and that they will use them in fights. They are mostly Destruction spells but also a few Conjuration.

Perks

I've given many enemies access to Vanilla perks. For mages, I've given them the ability to dual cast and given them various conjuration and destruction perks. This part of the mod will benefit from having Ordinator installed. Ordinator distributes it's perks by changing the perks from vanilla that NPCs already had. For example, if an enemy has the first level of the augmented flames perk, with ordinator installed they would actually be given level 1 conflagration and level 1 Scarring Burns from Ordinator. Some enemies in vanilla already have these perks but many don't. This mod adds them to enemies that qualify for them and that it makes sense for them to have. If you don't have Ordinator installed, it will still give vanilla perks to these enemies but Ordinator makes the perks enemies have more interesting.
