shadow85 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Was wondering what mod(s), will make skyrim much harder then it is. I just tried Deadly Combat and I am a lvl 31 mage/thief, and I killed heaps of those creatures beyond 'the halls of the dead', and it was still simply too easy, I just summon and watch my companion and summoned creature do all the killing. No fun at all. dont even need to use postions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satorinu Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) While there are quite a few mods designed to just outright make things harder, I've found my favorite to be.. Apocalypse Spell Package (Optional, pretty much anything that adds spells of your flavor might help; this recommendation only comes with the use of ASIS.. otherwise your just making your life easier not theirs :D) Duel - Combat Realism ACE / "Athyra's Comprehensive Enhancements"(Ace Load Order : Archery - Armor - BYOG - Enchanting - Magic - Melee - Realistic Fighting - Smithing - Speech - Synergy) ASIS (Important, since it allows the NPC's to use potions & they'll take advantage of Apocalypse, Duel, and Ace's alterations even more than they would otherwise in the spells/perk/buff/debuff department. Atop of that, you can have it adjust spawns altogether.. now instead of finding a pack of 3 wolves every frikking time on my way from Helgan, I find 4 wolves, a bear, and two bandits .. or no wolves, four bandits, and two imperials fighting them.. it's awesome O:) (Optional for difficulty & realism, indirectly having a stake in the outcome of fights for obvious reasons, specially Frostfall, but forgetting to eat/sleep/drink certainly can make your life harder in the next battle.) Frostfall&Imps Complex Needs / any food/drink/sleep mod, imps being the hardest from what I've found but at the same time also tedious after awhile. ____In the end it feels an awful lot like I'm playing a far more expansive and wild version of Dark Souls xD - Expert Difficulty; while at 1-10th level it's pretty tame overall you still run into fights even at that level that will drop 40-60% of your health with just one mistake (Hit from behind or the sides or missing your chance to block.) Usually the 1-2 mistake = death's only come from someone who found a decent weapon, be it guards or your local undead buddy with a good ancient greatsword, so your typical wolf pack will still bite only small chunks of your health; thus not outrageously overwhelming; but a vast difference from what I was used to with Skyrim. Also have to take into account, with Duel they now block a lot more, power attack at smart moments, stamina costs are totally different (more akin to dark souls, at least with my two handed weapon character, you block a couple hits and your out of stamina, so you have to make tactically smart choices and swing when your given an opening to widdle them down or time to back off if you can't land a blow.) Back hits are deadly, and the enemy's try to flank and get around you throughout the fight. At this point I end up relying on having a companion or two around for those areas where you end up pitted against 4-8 opponents, simply because each encounter can be brutal.

shadow85 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 hi, OK there seems to be a lot of fine detail you posted there, very much thanks for the reply. but Im unsure which of these mods, or all of them, and in what order should I do it to make skyrim as hard as possible. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satorinu Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) hi, OK there seems to be a lot of fine detail you posted there, very much thanks for the reply. but Im unsure which of these mods, or all of them, and in what order should I do it to make skyrim as hard as possible. Thank you. My preference is all of them, but at the same time I can't be sure how compatible they'll be with your other mods, specifically Deadly Combat. In any case, pretending you had no other mods, this is the load order I go with; just be sure to read what each mod does and ensure it's really what YOU want from Skyrim, and of course to install everything correctly :D @ the very end of my load order : Chesko Frostfall Duel - Combat RealismACE / "Athyra's Comprehensive Enhancements"(Ace Load Order : Archery - Armor - BYOG - Enchanting - Magic - Melee - Realistic Fighting - Smithing - Speech - Synergy)ASIS DependencyASIS Edited September 2, 2012 by Satorinu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odizelf31415 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Everything is way too easy for me. I'm level 56, and I did that alchemy/enchanting/smithing method to get weapons/armor to do insane damage and give insane amounts of armor... Any mods come to mind to make the game at least a little bit challenging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinderionsBones Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That Requiem mod sounds interesting. Depends on what type of hard you mean. There are a lot of different sorts. Just more numbers on everything? or requiring some skill/strategy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
