📋 About This Mod

Longer and more balanced combat through increased health to weaker enemies (appropriately balanced per Act) and slight ability tweaks to Geralt for more enjoyable game play.

Please don\'t confuse this for the Better Combat mod or Make TW2 Harder, which were large scale mods by serious modders. Mine is very basic and only tweaks Geralt and enemy health and abilities to extend fight scenes for playing enjoyment. The goal was NOT to make the game harder, I just wanted better and more consistent fight sequences. Here\'s what I did: Monsters: (1) Increased health to weaker ones (Nekkers, Endegras, Harpies) by +- 50%, (2) added immunity to poison, but (3) removed immunity to critical bleed & burn where I saw it. Undead monsters are immune to poison and have crit bleed from being sword wielders. No increase in their damaged dealt. Soldiers: Except for Prolog, (1) increased health +- 50% and (2) added 50% critical bleed because they are sword or spear wielder, but (3) removed their immunity to bleed, burn, and poison where I saw it. Never heard of poison blocking armor. No increase in their damaged dealt. Geralt: (1) Increased starting Vigor from 2 to 4 for more enjoyable gameplay and (2) increased his vitality regen during combat to 5% (from 0. 1% which is basically nothing; he\'s a mutant, monster slayer after all. (3) Added slight damage to Aard (25% of Igni) which is reasonable for being tossed across the room. And from another mod, (4) I increased his carry capacity. *No increase in his damaged dealt either. Again, I didn\'t make drastic changes to the overall game. These little tweaks, all in all, have made the fight sequences are a little better and forces you to be smart about the swords and runes you\'re using depending on enemy type. Some enemies are tougher because they swarm you and they now have more health, but Geralt is a little better too.
