📋 About This Mod
A papyrus script to scale your unarmed damage to your level.
Description
In the vanilla game, unarmed is extremely weak. As enemies get more and more health, your unarmed skill remains at 0. Even with all of the related perks, you will find an unarmed playthrough to be nearly impossible, especially on harder difficulties. This mod aims to correct that, making an unarmed playthrough viable by giving you more damage as you level up but keeping it weaker than other combat styles.
Installation
-
[]Install with your preferred mod manager.
[
]Follow the instructions at Plugins.txt Enabler - this will be required until official plugin support.[]Ensure UnarmedScaling.esm is enabled.
You can adjust the damage multiplier by using the console command:
set XX000801 to Y
where XX is your mod in the load order, and Y is the new multiplier (default is 1. 5).
Troubleshooting
-
[]Ensure Plugins.txt exists in %LocalAppData%\Starfield\
[]Ensure the text file contains the following two lines:
UnarmedScaling.esm
