mystang89 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 So with all these new mods that are coming out, the new equipment that is coming out and soon that CK coming out, which will undoubtedly cause many new and shiny items to come out with the game seems like it is going to become a bit easier and easier even on master. Right now I have it on master. I am lvl 51 with the crafted armor and so on. No I didn't craft said armor so I could break the game, power lvl or anything else like that. I like crafting so I got the stuff together and crafted. Simple as that. Now, the game being on master isn't push over easy. I still die occassionally. I should say before I go on that I play a sneaky thieving archery weilding light armor person so you know how I play. As I said, I still die, mainly because when I do get seen by duel wielding freaks that like to mince things up I oblige them and become mince meat if I can't run quick enough or am just too stubborn to leave. That said, it doesn't happen often. Now to the point. Is there a mod out there which increase the difficulty a bit? Sort of like increasing it from adept to expert or something like that. I know their is a mod which they say mods the AI to were the NPC heals themselves. I actually find the AI to be good and have seen NPC's heal themselves, mainly casters.....I used to hate casters till I enchanted things to resist fire and frost. Now I just hate lightning. Sorry to digress but the question still remains. Is there something like this out there, is there a WIP or is this something that has to wait till the CK comes out?Thank you.

xorchan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 +1 for this, Master is too easy even without “perfect” weapons/armor, my regularly crafted armor at 100 Smithing is enough to make me take next to no damage from all but dual wielding bandit leaders or other bosses, and my Nord passive + 66% resist fire/lightning enchants make even the hardiest casters easy as pie (and I have a few dozen 30% resist frost/fire/lightning). I would love a mod which makes the game harder than Master, but without changing the mechanics - just adjusting the stats. I've seen a few hardcore mods out there that nerf every aspect of your character, but I'd like to keep the mechanics (sneak, perks etc) untouched.

CampanaAliquanta Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 A lot of people have been complaining about this, but you'll probably have to wait until the CK comes out. At that point I would expect quite a few mods that re-balance the game and make it more challenging. This is one of them:http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/462397-total-realism-overhaul/ (you might not want all of it, but you will be able to pick and choose different features in it).

Yeah, we'll probably get a series of nice combat overhauls like Deadly Reflex for TES4. Some of the changes in that topic (eg. the improved weapon damage and block/dodge requirements) sound nice, but the vast majority sound awful. Having to eat/sleep? No thanks, I can do that in real life if I want to. Perhaps the only change we need is to make armor value much, much less useful (for the player).

mystang89 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Someone mentioned that I might want to try PISE and it looks a lot like something I would like to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punxdog Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yah, its good, made things a good step harder for my 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabatasso Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 By harder I assume you mean more difficult AI, and not more HP to the AI? If it's the first one you're after, I am all for it. For the latter, not so much... I don't like having to slice a bandit 17 times before he goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punxdog Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The problem is NOBODY can add scripts to the game until the CK. You need scripts for AI, simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xorchan Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 As I've said earlier, i personally think it's best not to increase the enemy HP, but to increase the enemy damage (or rather, decrease the player armor value). I don't want to have to hit a bandit 20 times for him to die, but I sure as hell don't want to be able to stand there and tank all of his hits without even stopping to heal myself.

punxdog Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I think an overall damage bump would be useful. I don't have too many problems though, PISD has helped a heap, sure I can ignore bears and so on but there's still some very dangerous enemies out there [not dragons lol] on level 51.
