📋 About This Mod

Apotheosis - Powers Overhaul

Starfield's powers are useful, but they aren't fun to use. They are basically just reskinned Skyrim shouts, and share the same fatal flaw. You can only have one equipped at a time, and you forget about them, as they don't show visually on your character. Most characters only ever use Anti-Gravity Field/Fus Ro Da, or Sense Star Stuff/Aura Whisper if they are feeling sneaky. This mod fixes that, by making them activate themselves when needed. Are you crouching and looking around? Instant Sense Star Stuff. Talking to someone? Precognition. This means you are always using your powers, which contributes to the feeling that you are special, powerful, and above it all.

The powers activate when the below conditions are met. They can be toggled off using the gameplay setting menu.

  • []Alien Reanimation: An activation option will appear when you look at a dead alien.

    []Creator’s Peace: Now a scanner power.

    []Earthbound: Fire your jetpack with your weapon holstered while in zero-g.

    []Elemental Pull: An activation option will appear when you look at an ore node.

    []Eternal Harvest: Always active.

    []Grav Dash: This activates when you sprint. It now gives you're 25% speed boost, rather than pushing you forward. The damage boost only applies to melee and unarmed now. Manual usage still throws you forward.

    []Inner Demon: Now a scanner power.

    []Life Forced: Now a scanner power.

    []Moon Form: Stand still while your health is low. It now also heals environmental damage. This can be disabled in the gameplay options menu.

    []Parallel Self: Now a scanner power.

    []Personal Atmosphere: Activates when you are at low O2.

    []Phased Time: Aim your weapon to activate this. It is now only for a second, replicating Fallout 4's deadeye ability. This can be reverted in the gameplay options menu.

    []Precognition: The dialogue power is always active. The footsteps one activates when Sense Star Stuff does.

    []Reactive Shield: Stand still and aim your weapon. This will activate if you then take damage. Or if you are charging with a melee weapon.

    []Sense Star Stuff: Couch and don't move with your weapon out. Now non-hostile NPCs will use the blue effect, letting you tell your companions apart when you use it.

    []Void Form: Couch and don't move with your weapon holstered.

    []The other powers are unchanged from vanilla.

    In addition, Quantum Essence has been reworked to give permanent bonuses, in the form of perks you can purchase for five Quantum Essence each. Consume a Quantum Essence from the menu to select a perk. Quantum Essence is now saved when you go through the Unity as well.

    []Grim Harvest: Regain some S
