📋 About This Mod

Next gen version of my original mod: Here

List of quests that were fixed:

  • []Now or Never (first half of the quest in vanilla is set to level 11)

    []King's Gambit (the whole quest was set to level 16 in vanilla)

    []Pyres of Novigrad (first half of the quest in vanilla is set to levels 7 and 9)

    []Echoes of the Past (the whole quest in vanilla is set to level 13)

    []Novigrad Dreaming (the XP reward is set to level 10, so I changed only the suggested level that you see in the journal from level 7 to level 10)

    []Blood Ties (in vanilla set to level 7)

    BONUS FILE:

    I also included an optional file with suggested level changes for A LOT of other quests. I did increase the levels in rewards.xml, so you should earn full XP if you're not 5+ levels above the newly changed suggested levels. I made it seperate, because I believe that everyone might not like this change, so feel free to try it if you'd like. Changed only for quests where there is a bigger level difference from a chronologically earlier quest and where it made sense to me. In the case of Skellige quests, quest levels were increased if they were lower than level 16, because suggested level for Destination: Skellige is 16. Fistfights weren’t changed because they aren’t affected by ±5 level difference.

    Note: With the exception of Berengar’s Blade and Rough Neighborhood, I didn’t change levels for enemies to accommodate for the increased levels of the quests that I changed. You don’t get that much XP from killing enemies, but it takes a lot of time to find and change all the parameters in all of these quests for enemies and IMHO it’s not really worth the time. You can always turn on Enemy Scaling for a challenge, so I hope you won’t mind that.
    IMPORTANT: If you plan to use the mod for changing the suggested levels, then DON'T install the main file, but only the optional file. The fix for quests mentioned on top of the page is included in the optional file as well.

    List of changed quests (number in brackets is the original level and the number behind the new level):

    []Haunted House (7): 10

    []A Favor for Radovid (9): 12 (actually set to lvl 12, but not in the journal)

    []Missing Persons (15): 18

    []Nameless (14): 18
