***BASICS***
Increases the multipliers to make master significantly more difficult. Really, ideally used if you want to use the game to it's utmost; ie, exploiting alchemy, enchanting, and smithing to get high-end equipment.
If you like it, take a look at my other mod - PISE: Pluto's Improved Skyrim Experience - which aims to create a more difficult gameplay through AI changes, spawn changes, and overhaul the way the game plays while retaining the regular Skyrim feel - without requiring exploits of any kind.

I will not be integrating this into PISE, as it goes against what I feel the game should be. Nevertheless, some people were interested in this, and it was a quick change once I found the variables.
***FILE LIST***
Main files:
Intense Difficulty 2x.esp - Twice the difficulty of master.
Intense Difficulty 4x.esp - Four times the difficulty.
Intense Difficulty 8x.esp - 8 times the difficulty.
Intense Difficulty 16x.esp - 16 times the difficulty (are you crazy?)
Intense Difficulty 32x.esp - 32 times the difficulty (heh, no way.)
