This mod makes the game a little bit easier for hidden long range fighters but it also makes the game strongly harder for melee warriors to provide the greatest challenges.
It gives you the ability to level quickly up to the maximal level twenty five without waiting a huge number of hours to build your characters.
For balancing, each new level gives you the opportunity to upgrage three skills of you choice, independently of your skill uses, with only one point for each skill.
The two best base attributes of all playable races are increased by twenty five points, then the beginning is very easy. Remember that your enemies of these same races also benefit of this upgrade, making them more powerful.
Each new level makes the game harder. All depends of the choices you made to build your characters. Obviously, a cameleon sneak archer does see the difference without crosshair, but a light armored fists fighter is harder to play.
Abstract :
This mod makes the game a little bit easier for hidden long range fighters but it also makes the game strongly harder for melee warriors to provide the greatest challenges.
It gives you the ability to level quickly up to the maximal level twenty five without waiting a huge number of hours to build your characters.
For balancing, each new level gives you the opportunity to upgrage three skills of you choice, independently of your skill uses, with only one point for each skill.
The two best base attributes of all playable races are increased by twenty five points, then the beginning is very easy. Remember that your enemies of these same races also benefit of this upgrade, making them more powerful.
Each new level makes the game harder. All depends of the choices you made to build your characters. Obviously, a cameleon sneak archer does see the difference without crosshair, but a light armored fists fighter is harder to play.
A tricky trap is offered to the player : Two handed amber and madness weapons, bows and arrows included, have half attack speed and double damage. These weapons are very dangerous to use because you are very slow. If you hit your enemy, you make lot of damages. But if you miss, you are completely vulnerable. Here, a good timing is the key.
Compared to the original game, the real difficulty is the lack of base attributes. At the highest level, your character always needs apparels or spells to counter its real weaknesses. Exploration is required to complete its clothes and armors. Loot hunt is opened !
For highest difficulty level players, this mod gives two advantages : Soul gem enchant capacity is doubled and some sigil stones have new magic effects. But the game is possible to play without them ...
Remember, this mod is made for :
- Die-and-retry challengers.
- Fast leveling players.
- Hard way learning lovers.
- No cheat users.
To conclude, with all these changes, this mod makes your Oblivion journey a real odyssey ...
