About this mod

Vanilla inspired balancing mod. +Base speed, Unlimited SR time, Free respecs, and more. Vanilla friendly edition available for extra vanilla friendliness!

Permissions and credits
I just made this to change some things about the game to suit my own tastes. It wasn't made with the intention of mass consumption, but I figured maybe someone else out there might have a similar vision for their game as I do and could get a kick out of this.

While this mod does touch DLC files, it doesn't rely on them. I believe it should work fine if you do not have any DLC installed.

Philosophy
Retain vanilla balance as much as possible while extending player abilities and quality of life stuff where the vanilla game feels lacking. Since some of the changes I want to make for quality of life are not very vanilla friendly, I am also creating vanilla friendly releases that do not include these changes if you prefer.

I know some people believe that respec having a cost is important for balance. 3rd party tools exist which let us theorycraft our builds down to gear augment for free before making changes in-game - for this reason I believe that respec costs are antiquated and frankly should not exist. Despite this, I do not currently have any plans to alter the way that Attribute respecs work, since for some reason the existing system for this sits fine with me.

Note that I am brand new to this game. This mod is prone to evolve a lot over the next while as I get more familiar with the depths of the game.

Vanilla Friendly Edition Tweaks
  • +7.5% Base Move Speed
  •  Max Move speed cap increased from 140% to 250%
  • Removed enemy scaling limits (Impossible to over-level a zone.)
  • Skill respec always costs 1 Iron Bit
  • Devotion respec always costs 1 Iron Bit (Shard cost removed)
  • Adds persistent loot beams for ALL Rare items.
  • Unlocks the Forlorn Cellar (Barrowholm Cellar)
Complete Edition Additional Tweaks
  • +16.3% Base Move Speed (Instead of +7.5%)
  • Completely removed time limit from Shattered Realms.

Just want the SR time limit removal and nothing else?

Future Plans
  • Remove auto loot range cap. ( I can't seem to find anything in the db that ties to this mechanic.. If
    anyone has any ideas how to achieve this, please let me know in the comments. )
  • Increase max pathing range within some margin of reasonable, to remove those instances where you click on something
    expecting to move towards it and your character just stands there.
  • Make loot beams work for filtered items
