-This is a remake of my mod Random Encounters from New Vegas except a lot more better in different ways.

= Description =
===============
-This is a remake of my mod Random Encounters from New Vegas except a lot more better in different ways. Ever
wanted to see a Dwarven Spider far away from the ruins? Or maybe some Dremoras? Well now you can. Want more then just
the default amount? Go ahead! Set it to 100! ( I don't recommend it... It will really spawn 100. ) Want to disable
1 or some of the encounters? You can! Even Werewolves and Vampires!

-Customized functions for easier use and implementations of further encounters.
-Currently over 200 Encounter locations!
-Currently adds these encounters:
++Assassins
++Atronach
++Bandits ( Simple enough for any game! )
++Bears
++Chaurus'
++Dragons
++Draugr
++Dremor
++Dwarven Spider, Sphere, Centurion
++Falmer
++Forsworn
++Ghosts
++Hagraven
++Ice Wraith
++Magic Anomalies
++Nightingales
++Orcs
++Sabre Cats
++Skeletons
++Spiders
++Spriggans
++Thalmor
++Trolls
++Vampires
++Warlocks
++Werewolves
++Witches
++Wolves
++Similiar to how my Random Encounters worked for New Vegas, but much better!

===============
= Performance =
===============
This mod as VERY LITTLE impact on most computers. The only demanding parts are higher spawn rates. The mod itself does not cause
lag spikes on its own. ( Example: 20+ NPCs spawning, Many Dragons spawning if enabled. Etc. )
The defaults are very light on many computers that meet the requirements for this game. :) So if you are looking for more spawns
that you can customize that is also lightweight. This mod is for you. :)

=========================
= Humanoid Vs Creatures =
=========================
Feature - Instead of spawning from a list, this setting focus' on spawning 1 Humanoid Faction against a Creature Faction.

Example: Thalmor spawned; Bandits, Warlocks, Assassins and the likes won't ever spawn against them. Only creatures such as:
Bears, Chaurus, Sabrecat, Hagraven ( Ugly things. ), and the likes will spawn with them.
These will usually fight each other.

To enable this spawn setup:
1) Open Console ( Default is Tilde Key. ` / ~ )
2) Type [ Set DFBEncCrH to 1 ] AND [ Set DFBEncDual to 1 ]
++ NOTE: Dual Factions MUST BE ENABLED for this to work.
3) Explore and find the fun. :)

==============
= Known Bugs =
==============
-Sometimes the cleanup does not run right away. Varies.
-Sometimes Ghost NPCs 'stretch' randomly. ( Rarely happens normally. )

================
= Installation =
================
Copy DFB - Random Encounters.esp and DFB - Random Encounters.bsa to your Data Folder.
+Run launcher and enable. ( Recommend use with Nexus Mod Manager. )

To Uninstall, disable and delete. Has no bad side effects.

====================
= In-Game Settings =
====================
-As with my original mod, you can set up the encounters and amounts.
NOTE: These are in the Console Commands txt file.

Alternatively: You can place _dfbre.txt in your Skyrim Folder ( Where TESV.exe is. ) and in game type [ bat _dfbre.txt ]
+This is a quick way to set up defaults across all your saves. Also contains default values next to it.
++This file is located in [ Place.Me.In.Skyrim.Folder ] Folder when you unpack the mod.

=========
= Notes =
=========
-May cause CTDs with Occupy Skyrim and other spawn heavy mods. ( Some users have reported it works with them while others not. )
This may or may not be related to CPU Power, GFX Power, and the likes. I have not found the reasoning behind the crashes as I never
had these types of issues. ( I do not use a lot of external mods aside my own. So player experience may vary! )
