Skyrim Unleveled - Kicking the Player off of Center Stage

Designed from the ground up to work alongside Morrowloot, Skyrim Unleveled creates a challenging experience with stronger equipment and more dangerous foes. The world, loot tables and npc distribution are no longer revolving around the player. Acuity is rewarded. Only the prepared will survive.

A version for Classic is Available here.

An Overhaul of the World

Along with de-leveling Skyrim’s NPCs, Skyrim Unleveled makes many tweaks in order to create a cohesive overhaul of the game’s mechanics.

This mod touches almost every aspect of gameplay.

• []Loot fits the power level requirement to obtain it.

  []A small chance for rare loot in boss chests invokes a D&D-like sense of discovery.

  []A few new enemy types to increase the power cap for hostile NPCs.

  []Equipment is re-designed for specific roles with both strength and drawbacks which allow for more nuanced builds.

  []A new magic scaling system.

  []Hand placed enemies to increase difficulty of select dungeons.

  []Derived attributes make speccing into stamina, magicka or health more substantial.

  An Unleveled Skyrim

  • []Both overworld and dungeon NPCsare no longer dependent on your level. Tread carefully.

    []Every playstyle has a place in the world. Though Skyrim Unleveled is difficult, clever play will see the player through all content the game offers.

    []Damage dealt and received is multiplied by 4, creating frenetic encounters where movement, positioning, resources and equipment can all attribute to your success or failure.

    []Weapon balance, artifacts, NPCs and others are overhauled.

    []Quest dungeons are tougher, giving a sense of weight to your accomplishments.

    Significant Equipment

    []Armor rating has been increased across the board. As a result, armor penetration is very important in Skyrim Unleveled.

    []Heavy armor offers unparalleled protection but stunts spellcasting, though spellcasting performance can be improved through training. Heavy Armor protects against arrows but does not fare as well against crossbow bolts, due to crossbows being able to inherently ignore the added protection against arrows Heavy Armor grants. Crossbows do not ignore armor rating, though.

    [*]Light armor provides little protection but allows the wearer to move freely and dodge attacks, as well as cast spells more easily. Light armor grants a little magic resistance
