Stress and Fear - A Dynamic Sanity System

~Stress and Fear~

• []A very simple and lite stress/fear system, meant to create interesting narratives and natural pauses in your gameplay loop.

  []Despite what it might seem, the mod is quite unobtrusive and stays out of the way most of the time, especially if you avoid getting hit.

  []Getting hit in combat increases your stress. If enough stress accumulates, it will reduce your stamina and magicka.

  []You can reduce stress by drinking alcohol, eating a warm meal, sleeping in a safe space, petting a dog, playing music, fishing, etc.

  []If you get badly hurt during combat against a certain type of enemy, you can develop a fear (phobia) of that type of enemy.

  []You can overcome your fear by facing that type of enemy and winning. You might have to do this several times though, as it's random based.

  []Overcoming your fears gives you a buff against that enemy type and immunity against that fear in the future.

  []Fully configurable via the MCM.

  • []Getting hurt in combat causes stress.

    []When enough stress accumulates, you will be notified in a non-intrusive way that your character needs a break.

    []Stress can be reduced by a variety of activities, such as drinking, petting your dog, having a warm meal, fishing, having a bath, playing music, chilling at an inn, etc.

    []Stress reduces your maximum stamina and magicka, allowing you to continue adventuring, but encouraging you to take a break.

    []Activities reduce stress by different amounts - alcohol being a very effective way to reduce stress. (Hello Darkest Dungeon!)

    Ways to reduce stress:

    []Drinking alcohol (A classic - 4 bottles of alcohol will reduce your stress from 100 to 0)

    []Drinking Skooma (Via SOS, but be careful: addiction and bad trips do the opposite!)

    []Eating comfort food (Sweetrolls, crostatas, creme treats, butter...)

    []Having a warm soup or stew (Beef Stew, Horker stew, Potato Soup...)

    []Taking a bath (via Dirt and Blood)

    []Going fishing!

    []Reading a book (via Immersive Interactions)
