Animal Tweaks

Recommended Posts

Animal Tweaks is an interesting mod.  It toughens the various fauna and makes the novice level much more interesting...at least as far as player survival is concerned.  Various critters are more dangerous, particularly at the lower levels.  Followers become extremely handy, particularly when it comes to distracting critters.

Having said all that, I feel a very slight need to warn you about Mudcrabs.  I thought about leaving them as a nasty surprise for those of you that run the mod then my better nature overrode that thought.  The mod has turned them into tanks, so, unless you're really cheating, be prepared to run if you try to take them out.  In cases where my followers, often four, attack them, I've either lost all four or had them taken out for the duration of the fight.  Bear in mind, that's with some really, really overpowered katanas in hand.

Recently, just for yuks, I jumped the mudcrab at the little creek by the bridge on the Whiterun side of Riverwood.  My souped up Katana bounced after having inflicted minimal damage, and I took off at a dead run.  Crabby pursued me all the way through Riverwood and out onto the main Helgen road.  I finally eluded him by jumping into the river and swimming back to Riverwood.  I'm surprised the I didn't become fish food, though he managed to one shot me for half my life force.  During the pursuit, the good citizens of Riverwood ran from tanky so there was no help to be had there.  I thought about seeking refuge in Alvor's house just to see if the crab would pursue me.  Next time I will...though if he does, he may wipe out Alvor and his whole family.  Still, good entertainment in an otherwise boring novice level game.
