Mod version 2.0.7 is now live! This means every single boss will now be much more difficult to beat, and will be challenging at almost any level! Be prepared for the fight of your life wherever you go in the vast land of Skyrim!
I initially downloaded this because I wanted to make the bosses of Skyrim more threatening, and in some cases, the forces of nature they are hyped up to be in the story, mainly the 3 big bosses of the game; Alduin, Harkon, and Miraak. I quickly started a new playthrough with a new set of mods that I thought was very promising, but I heavily underestimated how difficult this would make the game. This mod makes virtually any questline impossible to complete unless you are in endgame levels, which isn't difficult, it's annoying. The Companions questline is typically experienced anywhere from LV.5 to LV.20, and yet the halfway point boss, Krev the Skinner, was LV.80 with nearly 10,000 HP. I understand wanting to make bosses difficult -- but having a boss that kills you in one hit with two lightning fast, dual-wielded daedric daggers, with an amount of HP that is absolutely ludicrous to expect an early level player to compete against, let alone defeat, is poor design. I am fully aware that the description says low level play is still being worked on, but it's been 5 years since this was last updated, and as such I don't really feel like my criticism is hollow here. There are only two ways you can complete any questline in this mod; cheat, or grind relentlessly until you are at least LV.50, and then pick up the questline. Imagine waiting the span of the first two campaigns just to pick up the first one! P.S. None of that is even mentioning the mini-bosses, which, are far too plentiful in my opinion. Using the Companions Questline as an example again, the same fortress that held Krev the Skinner had one out of every 4-6 enemies be a fucking mini-boss which also kills you in one hit. I would imagine that the mini-bosses are far more appropriate when you're higher level, but again, you can not expect players to never pick up any questline until they are in endgame levels.
I wish this mod got more attention, its truly one of a kind in terms of overhauling bosses, the difficulty may be daunting but the enjoyment is reminiscent of simply playing legendary in vanilla. Lots of death, but can be the fun kind!
For SSE, this mod can simply be ran through CK for those of you who find this post.
Also: Note that Ultimate Combat will ultra buff Dragon Priest, Giants and Dragons along with this. You can also use revenge of the enemies for even more death challenge.
I love what this mod does, it just does it waaay too much for my taste. I use Ultimate Combat and Combat Evolved, so I console all my followers up to 3000 hp so they aren't guaranteed to die in every fight, and the Sky temple dragonpriest boss one-hit Derkeethus with his fireball. 3000+ damage?! On ADEPT?!! Is there, like, a wimpy version of this mod? Because I like it, I really do, it's just that my party's collective buttholes keep getting turned inside out within seconds.
Need Help! How can I uninstall the mod? Every time after I uninstall it I cannot load any saved game. They just keep crushing unless I put the mod back.
Hey, I'm the only one who check the konahrik description ? It said we need to be at least level 40. I think I am the only one in the main quest who manage to be level 15 at Sky Temple
Could you fix the 22 ITMs, 3 UDRs, and 2 NPCs have tint layer errors? please clean your mod. It's dirty and I'd love it to be patched with the Nexus Skyrim Overhaul, but it has problems.
