Gave a small rebalance for the Dark Seducer and Golden Saint weapons. Nothing too crazy. See google spreadsheet for the stat changes.
--- 4. INCOMPABILITY WITH OTHER MODS ---
Mod is incompatible with other mods that edit the loot tables of the aforementioned NPC's. Such as:
Hooded Outlaws
Descension - Vanilla-Plus Loot Balance
--- 5. FAQ ---
Q. "This mod isn't balanced at all?"A. It is more balanced than vanilla, because in vanilla you get Daedric and Glass at lvl 21 guaranteed. You will earn a lot of gold selling those armor and weapons at that level. This mod nerfs the amount of high tier armor and weapons that drop but adds other drops. If you want even less loot and less variance in loot you could download mod: Descension.
Q. "Why rename and rebalance Brusef Amelion armor?"
A. Brusef Amelion is a really bad armor in terms of stats. Each piece weights 21 and has armor rating comparable to chainmail. I buffed the armor to be between Mithril and Elven gear. I also wanted to rename it since Brusef Amelion name is too tied to a specific quest.
Q. "Can you make it so enemy's drop less of "X" and more of "Y""?
A. I won't be doing optional main files because 1. that is a lot of work. 2. You can never satisfy everyone. 3. Fixing a bug on 1 main file has to be repeated on others, so too much work.
--- 6. KNOWN BUGS ---
1. Quest specific NPC's may have vanilla loot tables. Because they are unique enemies.
2. Installed mod and enemies still have vanilla loot tables? just sleep in bed for 3 days and the interior cells should update them with the new loot tables.
Happy looting!
