Slower leveling

[robmathes]

I'm looking for a mod that reduces the magnitude at which individual skill increases affect overall exp for character level.

 

As you know, each skill has its own exp meter. When an individual skill increases, it translates into an increase in overall character exp. I'm looking for a mod that reduces the amount that each individual skill increase adds to your overall character exp. Thus, requiring many more individual skill increases to equate to a character level and effectively reducing the maximum character level. The vanilla system makes the maximum character level around 81. So I'm looking for a mod that would reduce that to about 50-55, without changing the rate of individual skill increases.

 

The reason I'd like this is because the way the current exp system is set up, you level very quickly at early levels (1-20) and moderately quickly at mid levels (20-35) and before you know it, you've out-leveled all but the best gear in the game. So you essentially spend about 20% of your game time utilizing about 90% of the various gear options and then spend the remaining 80% of your game time stuck with the last 10% of gear options. It gets boring very quickly when there's nothing to look forward to.

 

In a nut shell, you level so fast that most of the time, by the time you find a piece of gear in your adventures, you've already out-leveled it.

 

I'd like to level slower (not skill increases. I'm talking about overall level here) so I can enjoy more of what the game has to offer. Is there such a mod out there?
