📋 About This Mod
A collection of tweaks to combat to increase the difficulty and modifies stealth using xEdit.
Summary
A collection of tweaks to game settings that increase the difficulty of combat and modifies stealth a bit. I'm releasing this as I was practicing with using Spriggit to go from ESM to Yaml and storing that in git and then using github actions to generate a release. These are just the settings that I use for my game.
Contributing
You need Spriggit to convert from ESM to Yaml and back. You can find the repo at https://github.com/0xDezzy/Stealth-and-Combat-Tweaks. Feel free to fork it and submit a pull request to introduce changes to game settings. You can also submit issues if something should be changed. Github actions are set up to build a nightly release and a release on tags. Go easy on me, I suck at git and DevOps and I'm just doing this to learn more.
