📋 About This Mod

PEAK Enemy AI Module

Top-notch enemy AI overhaul currently available. This being a singular mod will also make things smoother for future updates, upcoming template compressions, and compatibility for other mods I have in the works as well. Bring back your enjoyment of Starfield combat!

Two Main Choices:

  • []No Compass Arrows/No Stealth Bar version ("PEAK Enemy AI NM.esm")[/]

    []Vanilla Compass/Vanilla Stealth Bar version ("PEAK Enemy AI.esm")

Can now also choose whether you want Hardcore Accuracy or Casual Accuracy (Casual Acc will be the xxxCasA.esm files if manually downloading). Casual Accuracy is basically Vanilla accuracy level, with most additional accuracy modifiers removed. Basically bare-bones accuracy for the more casual gamers. If you're a Hardcore player, just choose Hardcore Accuracy during Fomod Installation.

  • []Experience enhanced enemy teamwork, flank manuevers while incorporating distractions, and reduced unproductive chatter for a more immersive gameplay[/]

    []A stealth system is included for this combat experience[/]

    []Improved enemy memory retention[/]

    []Increased AI difficulty[/]

    []Encounter enemy NPCs that actually provide resistance compared to what you're used to[/]
