- - Knockbacks heavily nerfed to reduce stunlocks.
- - Attack fatigue cost increased to 24. Vanilla attacks cost 11 fatigue.
- - Strength weapon damage bonus halved.

- CRIME & PUNISHMENT:

- - See FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe for exact Guard (HALT!) level scaling formulas.
- - Guards carry weapons and armor of any material. HALT!
- ENEMY COMBAT:
- - Vanilla weapon material requirements to damage certain monsters removed. Any material will now damage most enemies.
- - Some monsters have new weapon/material immunities, resistances, and/or weaknesses. HUD messages will tell you what works.
- See MONSTER STATS section for detailed information.
- - All enemies have new combat AI. Some AI changes only apply if you are using Enhanced Combat AI.
- - Enemies fire bows and spells much more often. They also fire them at closer range and from greater distances.
- - Enemies back up and turn much faster. They will retreat and strafe less frequently.
- - When not in melee range, enemies strafe much faster. When in melee range, enemies strafe slowly.
- - Enemy accuracy scales heavily with their level. Their accuracy scales up much faster than vanilla. The toughest enemies
- are nearly twice as accurate as vanilla. See FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe for detailed accuracy formulas.
- - Enemy attack speed unleveled. In vanilla enemies attacked faster at higher player levels, but in Bossfall enemy attack
- speed is always equal to vanilla's enemy attack speed at player level 10, with greater random variation. See
- FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe for attack speed timings.
- - Enemy move speed is not reduced while enemy is melee attacking.
- - Enemy STR attribute bonus added to their Hand-to-Hand attack damage, scale is identical to that of player's.
- - Most non-boss enemies have a minimum damage of 1. This is not the case for enemies with Bonus to Hit: Humanoids or for
- human class enemies using Hand-To-Hand - they'll start using Hand-to-Hand around enemy level 6 and higher.
- - Enemies use drugs - Aegrotat, Quaesto Vil, Sursum, Indulcet - as weapon poisons, in addition to vanilla's weapon poisons.
- ENEMY SPAWNING:
- - Enemies unleveled - spawn chances and enemies spawned are not influenced by player level.
- - Every enemy spawn is randomly picked from a list of 100 or 140 - the "Powerful Enemies Are" setting determines length.
- Every dungeon type, location type, and climate has a different list. While outside, day and night have different lists.
- - All dungeons have enemy themes. You will find undead in Crypts, Daedra and spellcasters in Covens, and so forth.
- The easiest dungeons are Cemeteries, the toughest are Vampire Haunts.
- - Heat-loving or heat-tolerant enemies are found outside in Desert, Rainforest, Subtropical, and Swamp wilderness.
- Cold-loving or cold-tolerant enemies are found outside in Woodlands, Mountain, and Mountain Woods wilderness.
- - Difficult, high-level enemies are generally rare.
- - Orcs and humans spawn nearly anywhere, but they are usually rarer at night. Orcs and most humans do not spawn in
- Mountain and Mountain Woods wilderness at night or in Desert wilderness during day or night.
- - Rangers and Barbarians are outdoorsy types, they are rarely found in dungeons. They will spawn in Mountain and
- Mountain Woods wilderness at night, where it is too cold for most humans. Rangers can be found in Desert wilderness
- during the day and at night.
- - Werewolves and Wereboars removed from dungeons, they now only appear outside. They are rare.
- - Spawn frequency has been slightly reduced across all dungeons, locations, climates, and times.
- - Dungeon and outdoor locations use the same spawn chance. In vanilla spawn chances varied depending on player's location.
- - See FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe for spawn details about every dungeon, climate, location and time of day.
- ENEMY SPELLS:
- - Ghosts and Vampire Ancients no longer cast spells.
- - Enemy spell variety increased, every spellcaster uses same kit except for Frost & Fire Daedra (their spell kits are
- only slightly changed from vanilla's). Standard enemy spell kits include Sphere of Negation.
- - Full enemy spell kits can be found in the FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe.
- - Magicka costs for enemy spells no longer vary based on player spell skill level.
- - Spellcaster Magicka scales with their level. They will cast 2 spells at level 1, this scales up to 8 at level 20.
- Vampires and Liches will cast 30 spells, Daedra Lords and Ancient Liches have infinite Magicka.
- - The exact Magicka/level scale can be found in the FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe.
- - Enemies cast Caster Only spells at range. They cast Shalidor's Mirror, Spell Resistance, and Heal.
- - Enemies no longer re-cast most Caster Only spells if they are currently affected by them. The only exception to this rule
- is Heal - enemies can re-cast Heal if they are still under the effects of a previous Heal spell and are not at full HP.
- - Enemies will not cast Heal if they're already at full HP. In vanilla they would do so.
- - Enemies cast any type of spell within appropriate ranges. In vanilla enemies wouldn't cast certain types of spells
- depending on the Enhanced Combat AI setting in use.
- - I didn't add Hand of Decay to enemy spell kits as enemies can spam you with it in melee range.
- GAMEPLAY:
- - If the Display Enemy Level setting is on, non-quest enemy identification range in Grab, Talk, and Info mode is doubled.
- - Climbing nerfed, success depends almost entirely on your skill level. Luck now influences your Climbing check success.
- - With 50 Luck you get no Climbing skill check bonus, with 1 Luck you get a 5% penalty, with 100 Luck you get a 5% bonus.
- - Building identification range in Info mode doubled.
- HAND-TO-HAND:
- - Glove/boot material affects player's Hand-to-Hand to-hit roll, scales just like vanilla weapon materials.
- - Glove material affects player's punch to-hit, boot material affects player's kick to-hit.
- - Leather/Chain/Steel/Silver do not alter Hand-to-Hand to-hit rolls.
- - Successful Hand-to-Hand attacks damage player's glove/boot durability based on if attack is punch/kick.
- - Silver gloves/boots will damage Ghosts/Wraiths/Lycanthropes/etc. if player is using Hand-to-Hand.
- - If you're wearing silver gloves you must use punch attacks to damage Ghosts/Wraiths/etc.
- - If you're wearing silver boots you must use kick attacks to damage Ghosts/Wraiths/etc.
- - Full list of Hand-to-Hand material to-hit bonuses can be found in the FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe.
- HUMAN ENEMIES:
- - If player is level 1-6, all human enemies are within 2 levels of the player and Assassins are not bosses.
- - Human enemies are unleveled (this includes Guards. HALT!) and Assassins become bosses once player hits Level 7.
- - Once player is level 7, human enemies will usually be around level 10. Level 1 and 20 humans are very rare.
- - Human attack damage scales with their level. Low level humans deal slightly more than weapon damage up to an average
- of 48 damage per hit at enemy level 20.
- - Human enemies have 4 armor at Level 1, which is slightly better than Imp armor. They scale up to -4 armor at Level
- 20, which is slightly worse than Daedra Seducer armor. Their armor does not change based on their equipment.
- - Human spellcaster spell variety greatly increased, all human spellcasters use the same spells regardless of level.
- - If using Enhanced Combat AI, Archers and Rangers never voluntarily move into melee range and will always retreat when
- approached. They'd rather shoot arrows.
- - If using Enhanced Combat AI, Barbarians will always charge the player. They're not too bright.
- - Level 20 Mages, Sorcerers, and Nightblades can see Invisible.

- Warhammer will last exactly as long as a Steel Long Bow or a Steel Wakazashi. A Steel Staff will last exactly as
- long as a Steel Short Bow or Steel Dagger.
- - For exact item weights/values and durability and Enchantment Point values see the ITEM TABLES section of the ReadMe.
- LOOT:
- - All non-enemy loot has been unleveled. This applies to shop shelves, house containers and dungeon and building loot
- piles. The best materials are very rare but possible at any level. Player's level and Luck does not change drop chances.
- - If a level 1-15 enemy drops loot, it is normal unleveled loot (such as from loot piles, shop shelves, etc.).
- - If a level 16+ enemy drops loot, loot quality scales heavily with enemy's level. Level 30 enemies have extremely high
- chances to drop Daedric items. These drop chances are not changed by player's level or Luck.
- - Enemies that spawn with equipped armor and weapons now have a greatly increased chance to drop Gauntlets and any type
- of weapon or shield.

- - Bossfall's magic item and Soul Gem Enchantment Point value lists can be found in the ITEM TABLES section of the ReadMe.
- MONSTER STATS:
- - This section assumes you are using the Recommended setting preset, which sets the "Enemy Move Speed" setting to "Fast".
- For exact enemy movement speed values for "Fast" and "Very Fast" settings, see the FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe.
- - "Always charges" will only matter if you are using Enhanced Combat AI. If you are not, every enemy will always charge.
- - Monster level variation usually only changes their accuracy, dodging, and spell power. If monster is a Dreugh, Lamia,

- POTIONS:
- - Increased potion generation chance by 33% for all enemies that can spawn with them.
- QUESTING:
- - A Bossfall mini-tutorial quest activates when starting a new game.
- - If the Display Enemy Level setting is on, activating quest enemies in Info mode will display their level and name at
- greatly increased distances. The activation limit is twice as far as vanilla's standard enemy activation distance.
- SETTINGS:
- - I suggest using the Recommended preset.
- - Settings default to Bossfall v1.2.1 values so current Bossfall players don't have to change settings unless they want to.
- POWERFUL ENEMIES ARE:
- - Determines how often powerful enemies spawn, also tweaks other enemy rarities.
- ENEMY MOVE SPEED:
- - Switch between vanilla enemy movespeed and two faster options.
- SKILL ADVANCEMENT DIFFICULTY:
- - Switch between vanilla skill advancement difficulty and two harder options.
- BOSS PROXIMITY WARNING:
- - HUD warning message when (non-Assassin) boss nearby, detection radius half a dungeon block.
- DISPLAY ENEMY LEVEL:
- - Activating an enemy in Info/Talk/Grab mode displays enemy's level as well as name.
- ALTERNATE LOOT PILES:
- - Uses expanded vanilla sprite list so loot piles have some visual variety.
- - May not work perfectly with Handpainted Models.
- SHOPS:
- - Horses and Wagons are expensive.
- - General Stores buy armor.
- - Shop quality now determines what items can be sold at a store. "Rusty Relics" and "Sturdy Shelves" quality stores
- have much less selection. "Average" and "Better Appointed" quality stores have slightly less selection. "Incense Burning"
- stores can stock any item available for the store type.
- - Low quality stores will never sell fancy- or expensive-looking items. For example, a "Rusty Relics" store will never
- sell Formal Cloaks. Those are only available in "Average" quality stores and higher. As a second example, "Rusty Relics"
- to "Better Appointed" stores will never stock Diamonds. "Incense Burning" stores are the only shops that can stock them.
- - All shops on average stock fewer items.
- - Cuirasses, gauntlets, tower shields, and best-in-slot weapons are not in low quality shops.
- - Shops of "Average" quality or better that are not libraries or bookstores will stock far fewer books.
- - Shops below "Average" quality that are not libraries or bookstores will never stock books.
- - Booksellers stock lots more books.
- - All shop formulas and shop item quality lists are in the FORMULAS & TABLES and ITEM TABLES sections of the ReadMe.
- SKILLS:
- - Most skills are by default extremely hard to level. Change this with the "Skill Advancement Difficulty" setting.
- - Monster language skills are much easier to level.
- - Miscellaneous Skill starting levels are 1 to 4 rather than vanilla's 3 to 6. This only applies to new characters.
- - Etiquette and Streetwise are exercised when encountering human enemies even if you don't pacify them. This now matches
- behavior of other language skills.
- - Reduced skill tallies from 3 to 1 for successful language skill pacifications.
- - The Running skill will correctly increase at player's maximum possible level of 32, at a Running skill of 99, with
- a Career Advancement Difficulty of 3.0, and with "VeryLow" player Reflexes - in vanilla it would not do so.
- - For precise skill difficulties by setting, see the FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe.
- VAMPIRISM:
- - Vampire players are healed when they kill anything with fresh blood. Difficult or large entities heal player much more.
- - Technically speaking, Vampire players will heal when they're within a short distance of a dying entity, they do not
- have to actually kill them. This is to prevent players from healing from long-range bow and spell kills, and also
- because I couldn't figure out how to tell what is killing entities.
- - One of 52 fresh blood messages display when player heals more than 1 HP, this replaces the "(enemy) just died." message.
- - One of 14 old blood messages display when player is healed 1 HP. This only happens with Zombies and Flesh Atronachs,
- as they don't have fresh blood. This replaces the "(enemy) just died." message.
- - Exact heal amounts per entity can be found in the FORMULAS & TABLES section of the ReadMe.

MAGIC ITEMS:

MISCELLANEOUS CODE CHANGES:
If it feels to you like v1.3 features less gameplay changes than previous major versions, I agree - I spent tons of time improving my code efficiency
Player likely won't notice any of the below changes but I mention them due to the time/energy investment
Greatly increased efficiency of Bossfall enemy move speed and AI code
Greatly increased efficiency of Bossfall FormulaHelper code, mostly in attack formulas
Changed saves/loads to save/restore enemy level and all level-dependent values (human enemy damage & armor, spell damage, skill levels)
Backwards compatible w/old Bossfall saves & non-Bossfall saves, this adds an "enemyLevel" line to all enemies in your save file
Improved vanilla mod support by reverting to vanilla DFU code in a few places and moving my changes elsewhere to not conflict w/mods
SETTINGS:
"Bossfall" settings section added to Advanced Settings top bar after Accessibility section
Click the "Use Recommended Settings" button to set everything to the settings I recommend
Settings default to Bossfall v1.2.1 values so current Bossfall players don't have to mess around with settings unless they want to
"Powerful Enemies Are:" (I recommend LESS COMMON) Determines how often powerful enemies spawn, also tweaks other enemy rarities
"More Common" is Bossfall v1.2.1 spawn frequency, "Less Common" is rebalance I did for v1.3
"Enemy Move Speed" (I recommend FAST) Switch between vanilla enemy movespeed and two faster options
"Very Fast" is Bossfall v1.2.1 speed, "Fast" is rebalance I did for v1.3
"Skill Advancement Difficulty" (I recommend HARD) Switch between vanilla skill advancement difficulty and two harder options
"Hard" is rebalance I did for Bossfall v1.3, "Extremely Hard" is v1.2.1 difficulty, IMO suitable for only the most patient adventurers
"Boss Proximity Warning" (I recommend ON) HUD warning message when (non-Assassin) boss nearby, detection radius half a dungeon block
"Display Enemy Level" (I recommend ON) Activating an enemy in Info/Talk/Grab mode displays enemy's level as well as name
"Alternate Loot Piles" (I recommend ON) Uses expanded vanilla sprite list so loot piles have some visual variety
May not work perfectly with graphics mods like D.R.E.A.M. and Handpainted Models
SKILLS:
Player will start climbing much more frequently at low Climbing skill levels
VAMPIRISM:
If player is a Vampire, they heal 2 HP every landed Hand-to-Hand attack
- BOSSFALL v1.3 Changelog
-
Version 1.2.1
- Initial NexusMods release
BOSSFALL v1.2.1 Changelog
Using DaggerfallUnity 0.13.4
CHARACTER CREATION:
BOSSFALL essentially requires a custom super-powered character, so I rebalanced custom character creation
Moved default custom class HP/Level to 20 rather than 8, did not increase default skill advancement difficulty
Most advantages are cheaper, most disadvantages drop difficulty dagger much more
Reducing HP/Level below 20 drops difficulty dagger much more per point
COMBAT MECHANICS:
Restored enemy strafe timer to vanilla functionality (not working right previously due to my error)
DUNGEONS:
Streamlined random selection of enemies, dungeons may load a bit faster
Sabertooth Tigers/Grizzly Bears removed from Mine dungeon types, more Giant Bats and Rats
ITEMS:
I noticed I reduced Weapon generation in General Stores. I forgot to add that to v1.2 Changelog
- Initial NexusMods release
-
Version 1.2
- BOSSFALL v1.2 Changelog
BANKING:
You can only have one bank loan at a time, different regions will not loan you more
Defaulting on any loan will permanently ban player from getting another loan from any region
Bank loans charge 20% interest rather than 10%
BOSS INFO:
Assassins will switch to having boss stats once player is Level 7 or higher (2 levels higher than v1.1)
Assassin weapon poison bypasses Poison Immunity once player is Level 7 or higher (Immunity bypass didn't work in v1.1)
BOSS STAT CHANGES:
Vampires, Vampire Ancients, and Alternate Dragonlings will do much less than stated dmg if player is a Vampire
"avg dmg/atk" accounts for multiple instances of damage per attack animation (from Assassins, Orc Warlords, and Daedra Lords)
"avg dmg/atk" is average dmg monster will inflict in one attack animation
Large Assassin damage nerf now that they bypass Poison Immunity
Large Daedra Lord damage nerf to better match average damage of other bosses
Boss damage scales smoother, likely will have no game impact but I like consistency
Vampire
55-85 dmg
70 avg dmg/atk (-3 nerf)
Lich
60-90 dmg
75 avg dmg/atk
Assassin
39-67 dmg
106 avg dmg/atk (-40 nerf)
-8 Armor (It was -16 in v1.1 due to my error)
Alternate Dragonling
95-125 dmg
110 avg dmg/atk (+5 buff)
Orc Warlord
42-73 dmg
115 avg dmg/atk (+5 buff)
Daedra Lord
30-60 dmg
120 avg dmg/atk (-40 nerf)
Vampire Ancient
110-140 dmg
125 avg dmg/atk (-3 nerf)
Ancient Lich
115-145 dmg
130 avg dmg/atk (-5 nerf)
COMBAT:
Gauntlet/boot material affects player's Hand-to-Hand to-hit roll, scales just like vanilla weapon materials
Gauntlet material affects player's punch to-hit, boot material affects player's kick to-hit
Leather/Chain/Steel/Silver do not alter player's to-hit
Successful Hand-to-Hand attacks damage player's glove/boot durability based on if attack is punch/kick
Silver gauntlets/boots will damage Ghosts/Wraiths/Werewolves/etc. if player is using Hand-to-Hand
If you're wearing silver gauntlets you must use punch attacks to damage Ghosts/Wraiths/etc.
If you're wearing silver boots you must use kick attacks to damage Ghosts/Wraiths/etc.
COMBAT MECHANICS:
I don't want non-sentient or stupid enemies to retreat, so these enemies always charge:
Rat
Giant Bat
Grizzly Bear
Sabertooth Tiger
Spider
Slaughterfish
Skeletal Warrior
Giant
Zombie
Ghost
Mummy
Giant Scorpion
Gargoyle
Wraith
Barbarian
Archers/Rangers never move in to attack if they can see player, always retreat, player must rush them
Archer/Ranger movespeed nerfed to reduce annoyance factor when rushing them
None of these changes apply if Enhanced Combat AI is disabled
DISEASE/POISON:
Bossfall v1.1 incorrectly stated a rare spider/scorpion poison bypassed Poison Immunity when it did not
This has been corrected, spider/scorpion has 0.1%/hit of inflicting Drothweed that bypasses Poison Immunity
Spider/Giant Scorpion poison chance nerfed to 10% per hit, I fixed buggy Spider/Scorpion poison formula
Non-boss poisoned weapons will not bypass Resistance or Immunity
Moved non-boss poisoned weapon chance back to vanilla 5%
DUNGEON ENCOUNTER TABLES:
Centaurs aren't in any dungeons, Imps are never found outside dungeons (I forgot to add this to v1.1 changelog)
Every encounter table has been rewritten, no longer using any code from Jay_H's "Unleveled Mobs"
Human Stronghold - Sorcerers removed, replaced with Mages
Prison - Mages removed, replaced with Sorcerers
Desecrated Temple - Barbarians/Harpies added, less Daedra Seducers/Giant Bats
Natural Cave - Sabertooth Tigers removed, more Rats
Crypt - Sabertooth Tigers/Grizzly Bears/Spiders removed, more Skeletons/Zombies/Mummies
Orc Stronghold - more Orc Sergeants/Orc Shamans, less Orcs
Spider Nest - Ghosts added, less Mummies
Barbarian Stronghold - Harpies added, slightly less Barbarians
Cemetery - Added Ghosts (they're rare), less Giant Bats
Underwater - Added Ghosts & Wraiths (they're very rare), less Lamias and Ice Atronachs, more Skeletons
Default building - every human enemy, vermin, Assassin boss
Guildhall - every human enemy, vermin, Alternate Dragonling boss
Temple - every human enemy, vermin, Orc Warlord boss
Palace, House 1 - every human enemy, vermin, Daedra Lord boss
House 2 - every human enemy, vermin, Vampire boss
House 3 - every human enemy, vermin, Ancient Lich boss
ENEMIES:
Human enemies are unleveled once player hits Level 7, 2 levels higher than v1.1 (this includes Guards. HALT!)
Human enemies switch to Hand-to-Hand if that's more damaging than their weapon
Thus, human enemies do much more damage at higher levels (they switch to H2H around enemy level 5)
I thought this H2H check was already in v1.1 but I read the formula wrong
In v1.1 I applied human enemy armor incorrectly, armor did not scale with their level
This has been corrected, human enemies have 4 armor @ Level 1 (slightly better than Imp armor), scales up to -4 armor @ Level 20 (slightly worse than Daedra Seducer armor)
Bards pacified by Etiquette, Barbarians/Rangers by Streetwise
Using Hand-to-Hand against Fire Atronachs/Fire Daedra damages player (if in wereform player won't take dmg)
If using Enhanced Combat AI enemy move speed will not be reduced while enemy is melee attacking
ENEMY STAT CHANGES:
No longer using any stats from Ralzar's "Meaner Monsters"
Rat
7 Armor (+1 buff)
Spriggan
6 Armor (+1 buff)
Giant Bat
5 Armor (-1 nerf)
Grizzly Bear

0 Armor (-2 nerf)
GAMEPLAY:
Building identification in "Info" mode range doubled
Removed the check I put in for switching to Hand-to-Hand if player can't be harmed by enemy's weapon, that check already exists in vanilla DFU code
Shortened most HUD messages when attacking enemies that are immune to your weapon for brevity's sake
After a successful Pickpocket skill check on a human enemy or townsperson, 10% of the time you'll pilfer up to 100 gold pieces, 90% of the time you'll find nothing
Thus, Pickpocketing is 3.3 times more profitable (I never liked how pointless it was in vanilla)
Regardless of whether you find any gold, a successful Pickpocket check will count toward your Thieves Guild initiation letter
ITEMS:
Material generation chances fixed, Daedric possible from any enemy, store, or loot pile, not just high level enemies (major oops)
Rebalanced weapon durabilities, all weapon types use same scale (If you're using RPR:I that'll overwrite a few weapon durabilities)
Daggers have greater durability, bows slightly more, Long Blades/Axes/Blunt Weapons much less
No longer using any item stats from Hazelnut & Ralzar's "Roleplay and Realism: Items"
Changed a few miscellaneous item stats/weights
LOOT:
Gauntlets are now generated as regular enemy equipment (if using RPR:I this change will be hard to notice)
Changed high tier material chances - non-boss human enemies and Daedra will drop somewhat less good loot
High level bosses (anything other than Liches & Vampires) will drop significantly more Daedric
If using RPR:I Cemetery loot piles won't contain armor/weapons (Cemeteries were too profitable w/RPR:I)
If not using RPR:I Cemetery loot piles are now more profitable
LYCANTHROPY:
Transforming into werewolf/wereboar no longer restores player to maximum health
If in wereform equipped gloves/boots aren't damaged and don't give +to-hit bonuses to Hand-to-Hand attacks
If in wereform player can damage enemies that are normally immune to Hand-to-Hand
MAGIC ITEMS:
Holy Water, Holy Daggers, and Holy Tomes cast Dispel Undead/Undead/Daedra on use, have 1/3/3 charges
Holy items generate as normal in high quality Pawn Shops and as random loot from enemies, loot piles and house containers
They will not dispel Undead/Daedra 100% of the time, success rate depends on player level (just like regular Dispel spells)
Most useless magic item effects replaced, some names changed
"Item of Teleportation" has Recall as Cast When Used power
Pacify Undead/Humanoid/Animal & Charm added as Cast When Used powers (in case player can't outrun a boss)
Dispel Magic is now a Potion, recipes spawn normally (so player can get rid of Continuous Damage effects)
Potions of Restore Power restore 50 Magicka, doesn't scale w/player level
Regular magic items found as loot or in stores will never be Holy Water, Holy Daggers, or Holy Tomes
NON-DUNGEON ENCOUNTER TABLES (completely reworked for v1.2):

- BOSSFALL v1.1 Changelog
-
Bossfall v2.0 released! Now a .dfmod!
Want to see my progress towards the latest version or view Bossfall's source code? Check out my GitHub repository.
Got a bug to report or an idea you'd like to share? Feel free to post here or head over to the Bossfall forum page.
WHAT IS BOSSFALL?
- It unlevels loot and enemies, increases difficulty, and adds many new features.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES:
BOSSES:
- Bosses are rare. They are extremely dangerous and usually drop excellent loot.
- Orc Warlords, Vampires, Ancient Vampires, Daedra Lords, Liches, Ancient Liches, Assassins, and a rare type of
Dragonling are bosses.
- Boss Dragonlings, Assassins, Vampires, and Ancient Vampires move incredibly fast.
- Assassins become bosses once you hit level 7 - at this point, their poisoned weapon will pierce your Poison Immunity.
- Enable the "Boss Proximity Warning" setting to be shown a HUD message whenever a boss is nearby. You won't get a
warning message for stealthy Assassins.
- The "Powerful Enemies Are" setting determines how often bosses and other tough enemies spawn.
CHARACTER CREATION:
- Most new characters gain 20 HP per level by default and they all start with Steel weapons rather than Iron.
COMBAT:
- Your Hand-to-Hand accuracy is buffed by equipped glove/boot material. This scales like vanilla weapon material bonuses.
ENEMIES:
- Most enemies are tougher, faster, hit harder, and are harder to hit.
- Vanilla's weapon material requirements to damage certain monsters have been removed.
- Enemy spell variety greatly increased.
- The "Enemy Move Speed" setting determines how fast enemies move.
- Enable the "Display Enemy Level" setting and activate enemies to be shown their level. By default this is left click.
LEVEL SCALING:
- Monsters, loot, and human enemies unleveled.
- Enemy difficulty and loot quality scales with their level. Bosses have greatly increased chances to drop good loot.
- Once you are Level 7 or higher human enemies are unleveled.
ITEMS:
- Daedric and other valuable materials are rare but can appear anytime, anywhere. Your level and Luck do not change material
generation chances.
- All weapon/armor durabilities have been decreased. Durability scales down as material tier increases.
- Shield armor values increase as material tier increases.
- Enable the "Alternate Loot Piles" setting to use an expanded vanilla sprite list for variety in loot pile appearance.
MAGIC ITEMS:
- All magic items have been modified. They have different names, enchantments, and/or durabilities.
QUESTING:
- A Bossfall mini-tutorial quest activates when starting a new game.
SHOPS:
- Horses and Wagons are expensive.
- General Stores buy armor.
- Store quality ("Rusty Relics", "Sturdy Shelves", etc.) determines what items are available. Best-in-slot weapons and
armor and fancy or expensive-looking items are not in low quality shops.
SKILLS:
- By default, most skills are very difficult to level. Language skills are much easier to level.
- The "Skill Advancement Difficulty" setting determines how fast you gain skill levels.
VAMPIRISM:
- Vampire players are healed varying amounts when they kill anything with fresh blood.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS:
- These instructions are for Windows, they may vary slightly depending on your OS.
REQUIRED:
1. Extract contents of the download folder, its ending location doesn't matter.
2. Put the bossfall.dfmod file in DaggerfallUnity's StreamingAssets/Mods folder.
3. Check out Bossfall's Settings page when you start up DFU, I suggest using the Recommended preset.
OPTIONAL:
- This will remove Assassin bosses from easy non-dungeon vanilla quests. It won't change main storyline quests.
1. Right-click on the StreamingAssets folder included in this folder, select COPY.
2. Right-click on DaggerfallUnity's StreamingAssets folder, PASTE Bossfall's StreamingAssets folder here.
3. Select YES when prompted to overwrite files.
MOD COMPATIBILITY:
- I recommend placing Bossfall at the bottom of your mod list.
- If Bossfall is at the bottom of your mod list it may override some features of the following mods, and vice versa. Mods
with the most features that may be overridden are listed first:
Meaner Monsters
Unleveled Loot
Physical Combat & Armor Overhaul
Roleplay & Realism: Items
Unleveled Mobs and Quests
Roleplay & Realism
Better Default Classes
Shield Module? (untested)
Combat Overhaul Alpha? (untested)
Dodge Mod? (untested)
CHARACTER CREATION ADVICE FOR NEW PLAYERS:
- Don't give your character Forbidden Steel/Silver disadvantages. This will make the game extremely difficult, if not impossible.
FAQ:
When I load a game I get a blank screen! Help!
If the only mod you're using is Bossfall, this problem will never occur. I encountered this problem immediately when I was testing Bossfall with a bunch of other mods - it seemed to happen when I was saving/loading in buildings. I don't know for sure which mod is doing it, but as far as I can tell Bossfall is not the culprit.
I'm not finding much Roleplay & Realism: Items armor anymore. Why?
Bossfall overrides all enemy loot generation - this includes RPR:I enemy equipment generation, which is where you normally find RPR:I armor. I plan on fixing this issue in an upcoming version.
Where can I find a Formal Cloak? I'm freezing!
In Bossfall, shop quality determines what items are sold. Formal Cloaks look pretty fancy, so low quality shops ("sturdy shelves", "rusty relics") will never stock Formal Cloaks. You'll only find them in higher quality shops.
Why is my STR attribute red and lower than it should be? I don't have any disease and I haven't been poisoned!
You've been the victim of a particularly nasty spell that permanently damages your STR attribute. Until I get a Dispel Magic potion added, you'll need to get your attributes healed at a temple or with a custom Heal STR spell.
I'm Level 1-6 and I haven't seen any high level human enemies. Why aren't they unleveled?
Human enemies are unleveled once you hit Level 7. That gives you a chance to gear and skill up. Human enemies have better armor and do much more damage at higher levels, and you would get crushed if you didn't have a chance to prepare.
I'm Level 1-6 and I easily took out an Assassin. Aren't they bosses?
Assassins get boss stats once you're level 7 or higher. They'll also pierce your Poison Immunity. Grab a few Cure Poison potions before you hit level 7!
The "Disable AI" console setting doesn't work!
I had to turn off vanilla AI in order to get Bossfall enemy AI to work - this can't be worked around. The setting now functions as a way to swap between vanilla enemy AI and Bossfall enemy AI, but the setting will never actually turn AI off.

WHAT IS BOSSFALL?
- It unlevels loot and enemies, increases difficulty, and adds many new features.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES:
BOSSES:
- Bosses are rare. They are extremely dangerous and usually drop excellent loot.
- Orc Warlords, Vampires, Ancient Vampires, Daedra Lords, Liches, Ancient Liches, Assassins, and a rare type of
Dragonling are bosses.
- Boss Dragonlings, Assassins, Vampires, and Ancient Vampires move incredibly fast.
- Assassins become bosses once you hit level 7 - at this point, their poisoned weapon will pierce your Poison Immunity.
- Enable the "Boss Proximity Warning" setting to be shown a HUD message whenever a boss is nearby. You won't get a
warning message for stealthy Assassins.
- The "Powerful Enemies Are" setting determines how often bosses and other tough enemies spawn.
CHARACTER CREATION:
- Most new characters gain 20 HP per level by default and they all start with Steel weapons rather than Iron.
COMBAT:
- Your Hand-to-Hand accuracy is buffed by equipped glove/boot material. This scales like vanilla weapon material bonuses.
ENEMIES:
- Most enemies are tougher, faster, hit harder, and are harder to hit.
- Vanilla's weapon material requirements to damage certain monsters have been removed.
- Enemy spell variety greatly increased.
- The "Enemy Move Speed" setting determines how fast enemies move.
- Enable the "Display Enemy Level" setting and activate enemies to be shown their level. By default this is left click.
LEVEL SCALING:
- Monsters, loot, and human enemies unleveled.
- Enemy difficulty and loot quality scales with their level. Bosses have greatly increased chances to drop good loot.
- Once you are Level 7 or higher human enemies are unleveled.
ITEMS:
- Daedric and other valuable materials are rare but can appear anytime, anywhere. Your level and Luck do not change material
generation chances.
- All weapon/armor durabilities have been decreased. Durability scales down as material tier increases.
- Shield armor values increase as material tier increases.
- Enable the "Alternate Loot Piles" setting to use an expanded vanilla sprite list for variety in loot pile appearance.
MAGIC ITEMS:
- All magic items have been modified. They have different names, enchantments, and/or durabilities.
QUESTING:
- A Bossfall mini-tutorial quest activates when starting a new game.
SHOPS:
- Horses and Wagons are expensive.
- General Stores buy armor.
- Store quality ("Rusty Relics", "Sturdy Shelves", etc.) determines what items are available. Best-in-slot weapons and
armor and fancy or expensive-looking items are not in low quality shops.
SKILLS:
- By default, most skills are very difficult to level. Language skills are much easier to level.
- The "Skill Advancement Difficulty" setting determines how fast you gain skill levels.
VAMPIRISM:
- Vampire players are healed varying amounts when they kill anything with fresh blood.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS:
- These instructions are for Windows, they may vary slightly depending on your OS.
REQUIRED:
1. Extract contents of the download folder, its ending location doesn't matter.
2. Put the bossfall.dfmod file in DaggerfallUnity's StreamingAssets/Mods folder.
3. Check out Bossfall's Settings page when you start up DFU, I suggest using the Recommended preset.
OPTIONAL:
- This will remove Assassin bosses from easy non-dungeon vanilla quests. It won't change main storyline quests.
1. Right-click on the StreamingAssets folder included in this folder, select COPY.
2. Right-click on DaggerfallUnity's StreamingAssets folder, PASTE Bossfall's StreamingAssets folder here.
3. Select YES when prompted to overwrite files.
MOD COMPATIBILITY:
- I recommend placing Bossfall at the bottom of your mod list.
- If Bossfall is at the bottom of your mod list it may override some features of the following mods, and vice versa. Mods
with the most features that may be overridden are listed first:
Meaner Monsters
Unleveled Loot
Physical Combat & Armor Overhaul
Roleplay & Realism: Items
Unleveled Mobs and Quests
Roleplay & Realism
Better Default Classes
Shield Module? (untested)
Combat Overhaul Alpha? (untested)
Dodge Mod? (untested)
CHARACTER CREATION ADVICE FOR NEW PLAYERS:
- Don't give your character Forbidden Steel/Silver disadvantages. This will make the game extremely difficult, if not impossible.
FAQ:
When I load a game I get a blank screen! Help!
If the only mod you're using is Bossfall, this problem will never occur. I encountered this problem immediately when I was testing Bossfall with a bunch of other mods - it seemed to happen when I was saving/loading in buildings. I don't know for sure which mod is doing it, but as far as I can tell Bossfall is not the culprit.
I'm not finding much Roleplay & Realism: Items armor anymore. Why?
Bossfall overrides all enemy loot generation - this includes RPR:I enemy equipment generation, which is where you normally find RPR:I armor. I plan on fixing this issue in an upcoming version.
Where can I find a Formal Cloak? I'm freezing!
In Bossfall, shop quality determines what items are sold. Formal Cloaks look pretty fancy, so low quality shops ("sturdy shelves", "rusty relics") will never stock Formal Cloaks. You'll only find them in higher quality shops.
Why is my STR attribute red and lower than it should be? I don't have any disease and I haven't been poisoned!
You've been the victim of a particularly nasty spell that permanently damages your STR attribute. Until I get a Dispel Magic potion added, you'll need to get your attributes healed at a temple or with a custom Heal STR spell.
I'm Level 1-6 and I haven't seen any high level human enemies. Why aren't they unleveled?
Human enemies are unleveled once you hit Level 7. That gives you a chance to gear and skill up. Human enemies have better armor and do much more damage at higher levels, and you would get crushed if you didn't have a chance to prepare.
I'm Level 1-6 and I easily took out an Assassin. Aren't they bosses?
Assassins get boss stats once you're level 7 or higher. They'll also pierce your Poison Immunity. Grab a few Cure Poison potions before you hit level 7!
The "Disable AI" console setting doesn't work!
I had to turn off vanilla AI in order to get Bossfall enemy AI to work - this can't be worked around. The setting now functions as a way to swap between vanilla enemy AI and Bossfall enemy AI, but the setting will never actually turn AI off.
