***INSTALLATION***
Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) Installation (www.skyrimnexus.com/content/modmanager): a) Download through NMM, and activate there. b) Follow as from 3) below
Manual Installation: 1) Unzip the files to a directory of your choosing. 2) Move the ESP file 'Intense Difficulty 2x' into the Data directory of your Skyrim installation (located inside the steam folder, under steamapps/common/skyrim). 3) When starting Skyrim, click on data files, and make sure the 'Intense Difficulty 2x.esp' is checked. 4) Run Skyrim!
Only activate one plug-in at a time! See the file list below for details.
***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.)
