THIS. was literally just about to post this request. It's a shame it looks like there's been no response for so long. If a modder who has worked with sound effects could even just roughly explain the process of extracting then replacing sounds from DS2 and 3 respectively I bet a rank layperson like myself could even do it. Anyway, one vote for this mod, and also agree about breathing new life and how good DS2's gameplay is (DS3 would be better but the lack of a proper poise system is weird).

This is kind of two mod ideas. 1. BALANCED SOLO GAMEPLAY - A mod to create a game mode where the game is totally balanced for solo play at a difficulty comparable to the difficulty level for playing with a companion. I imagine this would entail removing 3+ enemy spawns at once from invasions and making a maximum 2 standard or one XL enemy at a time or something and in particular reducing the one-shot capacity of certain bosses and enemies so that in the majority of cases you can at least dodge out and get a heal off. Perhaps a flat 10-20% reduction in enemy damage (and perhaps HP) would be useful too. Just ideas. This would improve the replayability of this great game for the more average player. 2. BLOOD CODES LOCKED - a gameplay mode to lock players into using only one blood code, or a subset of the totality of blood codes. This would improve replayability by providing more of a challenge to think about how to make one build work in all situations.
