  • "What a base and trifling creature is man... 
  • yet at once he is the master of this empyrean flow, grand as all the heavens."

The initial goal of Rogue-like Encounters is to flesh out skyrim by balancing the difficulty and challenge of the world around you from level 1 to infinity. This is done through mechanical changes to NPC spellcraft, combat, damage mechanics, spawning, level-balance, and unpredictability.

This mod ONLY edits creatures, creature races, and leveled lists for spells, items, and creatures.

RLE is hefty(~1gb) as of version 1.53, featuring over 370 creatures derived from the same open-source packs as SiC and Monster Mod as well as the open-source resources made by MihailMods. The main ESP pack comes with several compatibility patches as well for mods that fit well within its scope. This mod has been maintained for 602 days as of 5/16/2017 and is currently FINISHED BUT STILL RECIEVING CONTENT UPDATES.

DRAGON COMBAT
(core module)
Dragons now have fixed combat styles encouraging a higher likelihood to engage in melee, attacks that cool down for usage instead of waiting for combat styles to queue them, conjuration magic, disarming power words to combat weapon users, armor magic, necromancy, and more breath weapons.

For frost dragons, bloodstealing and magic burning are new breath weapons. For fire dragons, lightning, ash, and acidic breath have been added.

IMPACT AND BURN-IN
(spell-changes module)
All vanilla spells cast by players and npcs, specifically spells that inflict a substantial amount of damage, have been changed into 2-3 second damage over time spells. This re-balances mage fights by allowing the person or npc more-prepared with potions and healing effects a chance to recover and continue, rather than die instantly. This way, two mages hurling large damage spells will become less of a "victor shot first" and more of a "victor has the strategical advantage" scenario.

CRITICAL HITS
(core module)
Most non-humans now have a 1 in 10 chance to do critical damage with melee or ranged attacks.

BLOCK-RUNNING, QUICK-DRAW, & FASTER MOVEMENT WHILE AIMING
(core module)
You are just newly a dragonborn, for the first time in your life taking up arms. All around you stand men, women, and creatures who have been in arms for years. They are in shape, and used to holding a bow and shield.

CLEAVES
(core module)
Most large creatures that have sweeping attacks which target one opponent but pass through others have unlocked attack hitboxes that effect all targets in their swing path. These include dwarven centurions, giants, trolls, mammoths, bears etc.

ARMOR DEGRADATION & BLEED
(combat module)
All power attacks, bashes, and unique attacks debuff armor and cause internal bleeding. These balance combat by rewarding parries and bashes as well as clean power/unique attacks and punishing the reciever. These effects are also distrobuted by cleave and amplified by critical hits.

STAGGER
(combat module)
As of eqRLE 1.5, the entire world now has a script-less, engine-based stagger system applied to melee combat, based on the gargoyle's vanilla combat effects. For the player, taking a heavy or unique attack causes screen-shake and drunken movement. This effect stacks, and while freedom is maintained, accuracy becomes very difficult. NPC's merely go through their own stagger animations.

SCALING
(combat module)
Bleed/trauma(from melee) and spells in the special combat+ module scale with the character levels of npcs and players from 1x at level one to 4x at level 80 in a quasi-exponential manner, as such:
1-10(1x), 11-20(2x), 21-40(3x), 41-80(4x)

SITUATION-SCALING
(core module & combat module)
Certain creatures are incredibly good at combat, and others are very basic. As such, for example, a brawl with a Daedric Concubine will always go differently than a brawl with a bandit. Little details like getting struck while attacking, getting struck while moving with your guard down, or even letting your stamina get too low, will render you weak on your next attack, wobbly, hamstrung, slow, bleeding, slightly blinded. Keep your eyes on your attacker, your guard up, and counter when possible to reverse the flow.

The meaning of this module is to provide a consistent utility for spells as the world scales and grows around you, as well as a consistent challenge for melee combat. Bleeding and trauma are always an issue at all levels in this system.
