Hello NexusMods, I'm looking for a bit of assistance today, I've recently gotten into modding and skyrim so thought I'd give it a go. I'm having some problems and thought I'd come here to see if anyone would be willing to assist me in fixing and suggesting some mods. I played skyrim for a while and then decided to look up the math behind some of the perks/armor, well this was a mistake on my part because as soon as i figured out the math then game went from being amazing to I dont even want to play this any more. Examples: -Armor cap 567, can be reached with just elven gear, no point in any other gear -Weapon Crit Perks only work off base damage of the weapon -Armor pen perks, most mobs dont have over 100 armor very little bonus -Dual Wield + Veggie soup = 1-3 hit kills on dragons -Destruction doesnt scale well at all Other Problems with the game -Stealth is broken, completely Overpowered -Enchanting breaks the game even more -Game on master is still rather easy -Alchemy to me should be an alternative to restoration, destruction, and illusion. Where you use Ingredients instead of magicka and have a limited number of cast i.e. how many potions/poisons you have on you. This however isnt the case and it just feels weak and seems to only really be there for crafting potions -No point investing in lockpick/pickpocket -Alteration skin spells not real alternative to light armor -Heavy armor is useless -Bound weapons should be a viable alternative to real weapons I know there are going to be some that tell me its just a game and that I dont need to look this much into it but I cant help myself, I do it every game. I dont want the "perfect" characters in games, I just want the perks to matter and fit whatever playstyle I want. Mods I'm looking for -Combat Overhaul, I know there are a few but let me explain what I'm looking for and maybe you can help me pick the right one for me. I dont want one that makes things one shot me or me one shot them. Thats not more difficult that is just annoying. 3-4 hits seems more reasonable. This allows tactics to come in and better game play -Perk Overhaul, something that fixes my issues with vanilla. Stealth should require light armor and some tactics, balance enchanting, fix alchemy, make heavy armor useful, same with lockpick and pickpocket -AI overhaul, fix issues with stealth so I cant stand holding a torch in one hand and a fire spell in the other shooting it up in the air and go unseen. -Armor Cap I want to make the game more fun and balanced. My one concern with modding is compatibility. I have a few armor mods I love and want to use (Immersive armor/weapon, Lustmord armor,) I cant stress though, I want the game balanced I want epic fights against giants and dragons but not against bandit thugs or wolves. Thank you for your time in looking this over and I hope someone will be able to assist me in modding my skyrim to make it fun again
