SSE Version: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/23872
“I've been all across Tamriel. I've seen plenty of things just as outlandish as this. I'd advise you all to trust in the strength of your sword arm over tales and legends." – Ireleth
The goal of Rogue-like Encounters is make the world of TES5: Skyrim more interesting and dangerous. This is done with new creatures, spells, combat, minor mentions of prior TES lore, cooking recipes for every food, and overall spice-of-life additions.

GAMEPLAY
Bloodlust
A gameplay module for vampires and werewolves. HP/STA/MAG Potions and non-meat foods stop giving benefits to the player. Instead, the player must collect Blood(health), flesh(stamina), and Nervous fluid/tissue(magicka) to provide those benefits. Hearts can be consumed for stamina and health without being in werewolf form and contribute to the leveling process.
Cell Refresher 8x36
For die-hard mmo-philes who like to see creatures respawn often. most spawns happen every 8 hours and every 36 hours in important areas
Mounts2BeastSummons
Changes every animal mount spell into a normal creature-summoning spell. This is for people who install the creature skeletons for FNIS.
nokillmoves
This is for people who enjoy fighting to the very bitter end every single time, uninterrupted by a killmove animation
NumidiumWeapon_NormalSounds
This is for people(myself included) who think the god-weapons dropped by children of numidium bosses in dwemer dungeons sound too loud and noisey.
Parry
This is a neat little mod that uses the animation states to trigger coincidental weapon-collision events between weapons being swung or held in an attack's way. It also works on bows and crossbows.

Don't like the new spells I added? Well now you don't have to look at bandits using them!

COMBAT MODULES AND YOU
There three choices in this overhaul:
Clean, Sunder-based, and Weight-based.(more details below)
CLEAN - Alters only the combat styles
SUNDER-BASED - Special Attacks and spells do status debuffs that make you more vulnerable for up to 8 seconds
WEIGHT-BASED - Based on the physical size of the creature, their base damage scales between 5(crab) and 90(dragon)
INJURIES AND YOU
Injury/First-aid gameplay is YOUR choice. Not mine. This type of combat module also assumes you know how to use CRASH FIXES and how to set it to implement CUSTOM CELL BUFFER SIZES because injury data is HEAVY. Attacks can apply status effects that debuff you for HOURS, meaning you have to either sleep them off or open up the spellcraft&first-aid menu to craft things to get rid of them INSTANTLY. (details below)
Raid adds
(core module)
Dragons(and many other creatures) now have mmo-style adds which spawn mid-fight.
Regular dragons get two or more dragonlings at 50% health. Alduin gets dragonlings at 50% and 2 or more Blackguards of Akatosh(black daedroths wielding daedric greatswords) at 25%
DIRE ARROWS
(core module)
Distrobuted throughout the world, morrowind-style are creature types that use enchanted arrows. These may be crafted or collected to be used at will. Their damage ratings are much higher than normal arrows, and many of them explode upon impact
MULTI-FORM ENEMIES
(core module)
There is a growing list of special enemies in the world that have more than one form. By this, I mean when their health reaches zero, they change into a weaker or stronger version of themself. Some examples are Troll Pillages, Earth-bound Sinners, Grand Flame Atronachs, and certain Wisp Mothers.
ROGUES
(core module)
Distrobuted throughout the world are versions of intelligent enemies that can visibly stealth and perform poisonous backstab attacks.
TRUE ARMOR
(core module)
All creatures have armor/magic-resistence values added to their basic mesh relative to their mass and skin/fur thickness.
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)
Most humanoid enemies will frequently be pretty decent at positioning themselves in a fight and have these custom perks to mirror that.
CLEAVES
(core module)
Most creatures in the world, but very rarely humanoids, attack in arcs, hitting everything in those arcs. These were added to punish players who always group their party close together when fighting something large and tough. If a giant can hit everyone, for instance, with a single swing, it will. the same goes for most other creatures.
THE BLOOD LUST
(core non-MO modules)
STANDALONE VERSION: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/96378
As of RLE 2.2, all living creatures drop blood, hearts, spinal fluid, and flesh. Consumed by mortals, they do nothing, but when consumed by the cursed(vampires and werewolves), they restore health, stamina, and magicka.
Likewise, the cursed are now unable to recieve any benefits from non-meat based food as well as stamina, health, and magicka potions.
DRAGON COMBAT MODULE ADDITIONS:
Dragons now have conjuration magic, disarming power words to combat weapon users, necromancy, and more breath weapons in the dlc areas. Common dragon-like creatures also have a large assortment of abilities.
Breath weapon assignments
-------------------
Frost dragons(dlc versions):
water blasts, bloodstealing, and magic burning
Fire dragons(dlc versions):
lightning, ash, and acidic breath
Tundra drakes:
last wind perk, roars, whirlwind creation, water breathing, and acid spitting attacks
Griffons:
last wind perk, whirlwind creation, roaring and ice storms for the snowy griffon
Tundra chimera:
last wind perk, lightning, firebolts, ice volleys, roars, and water volleys
Chaurus queens:
acid, water volleys, and the last wind perk
Blunt-nosed Drakes:
Blood, fishing, forest, gold-hording, nightstalker, stone, storm, and venomous types with associated breath weapons and roars
The 'Last Wind' perk gives the npc a chance to heal 50% of their health when close to death if they aren't staggered or busy casting/attacking
COMBAT MODULE ADDITIONS:
ARMOR DEGRADATION & BLEED
(sunder-based modules)
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 distributed by cleave and amplified by critical hits.
As of RLE 2.35, all armor degradation and bleed is scaled and controlled by the attacker's health and stamina pool. The more stamina/health the attacker has during a power attack or bash, the more intense and the longer bleeding/degradation lasts. This makes all combat scale evenly into late game, is scriptless and completely balanced to work with any other combat mod
STAGGER
(sunder-based modules)
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.
PARRYING
(parry module)
As of eqRLE 2.37, an single, player-only autoparry script will be added to the combat module to make simultaneous attacks between attackers collide, canceling both attacks. Bows also have a chance to block an attack when drawing or holding an arrow at the ready
THE INJURY AN FIRST-AID SYSTEM
(Optional combat module variant)

- Ankle traps: made from any mainland ingot and a mechanism. can be picked up and recrafted into a throwable trap
- Boulders and Rocks: made from any mainland ore and freely droppable from inventory. they create ankle-twisting hazards

Spoiler:
STAFF-CRAFTING
----------------------------------------------
Basically, there are four stages to staff-crafting in RLE/S&S, all accessible in the Spellcraft/First-Aid power menu:
1. Keep a dagger in your inventory. This will allow you to carve blank staves for a specific magic schools FROM WOOD
2. Obtain a Stasis Crucible from a court magician, merchant, witch, or bandit mage. This will allow you to convert filled soulgems into spellgems for a magic school. To make a staff, the spellgem must match the staff-type.
3. Obtain an ingot relative to the spell's power you wish to cast(iron, steel, orchalcum, etc.).
4. Acquire enough Smithing and Enchanting to unlock tiers of staves. (60 in each will allow you access to every spell in the game)
Although the process of making staves is rather simple, it can be very expensive and not as useful as using soulgems, ingots, and wood for other items like enchanted ink, charged/enchanted items, regular crafting, etc. Be mindful of your resources.
ARCANE KNOWLEDGE
(core module)
As of RLE 1.8, amongst the Dwemer, you will find some boss creatures that are left-over creations of the Numidium itself. These creatures drop a variety of clockwork weaponry that rival daedric weaponry in power. They also drop knowledge cubes which add to gameplay:
Cube of Embers:
allows the player to turn skulls of daedric wardens into Skulls of Unresting Souls, single use items that can resurrect one creature level 40 or under for one hour. Combining a SUS with a filled black soulgem, doubles its level of effect.
Holding the cube of embers also increases the effect of your necromantic spells.
Cube of Arrow Infusion
allows the player to infuse dwarven arrows or bolts into dire magic arrows/bolts
Cube of Scroll Infusion
allows the player to greatly simplify scroll-creation by nullifying the need for enchanted ink, but an ink vial must remain in inventory for the symbolic bond
ROGUE WIZARDRY
(core non-MO modules)
As of RLE 1.8, this mod features spell-craft for both players and NPCs, based on study and preparation, not memorization and channeling. The main prerequisite is magical tomes or scrolls as well as writing charcoal or enchanted ink.
With this system, one need only collect the books for the appropriate spells and use them to craft batches of scrolls using the new power "SPELLCRAFT & FIRST-AID":
Blank paper + enchanted ink(with Tome X in inventory) = Scroll of Tome X
Blank paper + enchanted ink(with Scroll X in inventory) = Copy of Scroll X
Blank paper + writing charcoal(with Tome X relevent to the writing charcoal) = Scroll of Tome X
Blank Paper + writing charcoal(with Scroll X relevent to the writing charcoal) = Copy of Scroll X
Blank paper(with Tome X, the Cube of Scroll-crafting, and a vial of ink in inventory) = Scroll of Tome X
Blank paper(with Scroll X, the Cube of Scroll-crafting, and a vial of ink in inventory) = Copy of Scroll X
Ink vial + filled soul gem = # of enchanted ink vials
Charcoal + ingredient combination = # of specific writer's charcoal blocks(fiery, icey, static, etc.)
Log of Firewood = 15 sheets of paper (or) 4 blocks of charcoal
Charcoal/BlueMountainFlower + Glass Ingot = 3 vials of ink
As illustrated, you are copying tome X to scroll X without exhausting it or memorizing it. Also illustrated, the Cube of Scroll-crafting greatly simplifies the process, but it is dropped by a rare dwemer boss called "The Soul-Warden of Numidium."
SCROLLS CANNOT BE COPIED FROM MEMORY
1.9 CHANGES
--------------------------
+ALCHEMICAL SPELLS require you have an ALEMBIC in your inventory, craftable with one malachite ingot, one iron ingot , and one torch. (or bought for ~100g at an Alchemy Shop)
+SOMATIC SPELLS require enchanted ink and paper.
+Both crafting methods yield prepared spells of equal value
+ to craft ink from charcoal or flower petals or turn mundane ink into enchanted ink now requires a MORTAR & PESTLE in your inventory.
+ MORTAR & PESTLE(made by Oaristys) can be crafted with merely two pieces of mundane ore(iron or corundum), or a single piece of firewood since you're basically carving it (or bought for ~50g at an Alchemy Shop)
+ spells usually require two to three ingredients to synthesize
+ prepared spells can somatically be transferred to new scrolls in the interface

STAFF-CRAFTING
----------------------------------------------
Basically, there are four stages to staff-crafting in RLE/S&S, all accessible in the Spellcraft/First-Aid power menu:
1. Keep a dagger in your inventory. This will allow you to carve blank staves for a specific magic schools FROM WOOD
2. Obtain a Stasis Crucible from a court magician, merchant, witch, or bandit mage. This will allow you to convert filled soulgems into spellgems for a magic school. To make a staff, the spellgem must match the staff-type.
3. Obtain an ingot relative to the spell's power you wish to cast(iron, steel, orchalcum, etc.).
4. Acquire enough Smithing and Enchanting to unlock tiers of staves. (60 in each will allow you access to every spell in the game)
Although the process of making staves is rather simple, it can be very expensive and not as useful as using soulgems, ingots, and wood for other items like enchanted ink, charged/enchanted items, regular crafting, etc. Be mindful of your resources.
ARCANE KNOWLEDGE
(core module)
As of RLE 1.8, amongst the Dwemer, you will find some boss creatures that are left-over creations of the Numidium itself. These creatures drop a variety of clockwork weaponry that rival daedric weaponry in power. They also drop knowledge cubes which add to gameplay:
Cube of Embers:
allows the player to turn skulls of daedric wardens into Skulls of Unresting Souls, single use items that can resurrect one creature level 40 or under for one hour. Combining a SUS with a filled black soulgem, doubles its level of effect.
Holding the cube of embers also increases the effect of your necromantic spells.
Cube of Arrow Infusion
allows the player to infuse dwarven arrows or bolts into dire magic arrows/bolts
Cube of Scroll Infusion
allows the player to greatly simplify scroll-creation by nullifying the need for enchanted ink, but an ink vial must remain in inventory for the symbolic bond
ROGUE WIZARDRY
(core non-MO modules)
As of RLE 1.8, this mod features spell-craft for both players and NPCs, based on study and preparation, not memorization and channeling. The main prerequisite is magical tomes or scrolls as well as writing charcoal or enchanted ink.
With this system, one need only collect the books for the appropriate spells and use them to craft batches of scrolls using the new power "SPELLCRAFT & FIRST-AID":
Blank paper + enchanted ink(with Tome X in inventory) = Scroll of Tome X
Blank paper + enchanted ink(with Scroll X in inventory) = Copy of Scroll X
Blank paper + writing charcoal(with Tome X relevent to the writing charcoal) = Scroll of Tome X
Blank Paper + writing charcoal(with Scroll X relevent to the writing charcoal) = Copy of Scroll X
Blank paper(with Tome X, the Cube of Scroll-crafting, and a vial of ink in inventory) = Scroll of Tome X
Blank paper(with Scroll X, the Cube of Scroll-crafting, and a vial of ink in inventory) = Copy of Scroll X
Ink vial + filled soul gem = # of enchanted ink vials
Charcoal + ingredient combination = # of specific writer's charcoal blocks(fiery, icey, static, etc.)
Log of Firewood = 15 sheets of paper (or) 4 blocks of charcoal
Charcoal/BlueMountainFlower + Glass Ingot = 3 vials of ink
As illustrated, you are copying tome X to scroll X without exhausting it or memorizing it. Also illustrated, the Cube of Scroll-crafting greatly simplifies the process, but it is dropped by a rare dwemer boss called "The Soul-Warden of Numidium."
SCROLLS CANNOT BE COPIED FROM MEMORY
1.9 CHANGES
--------------------------
+ALCHEMICAL SPELLS require you have an ALEMBIC in your inventory, craftable with one malachite ingot, one iron ingot , and one torch. (or bought for ~100g at an Alchemy Shop)
+SOMATIC SPELLS require enchanted ink and paper.
+Both crafting methods yield prepared spells of equal value
+ to craft ink from charcoal or flower petals or turn mundane ink into enchanted ink now requires a MORTAR & PESTLE in your inventory.
+ MORTAR & PESTLE(made by Oaristys) can be crafted with merely two pieces of mundane ore(iron or corundum), or a single piece of firewood since you're basically carving it (or bought for ~50g at an Alchemy Shop)
+ spells usually require two to three ingredients to synthesize
+ prepared spells can somatically be transferred to new scrolls in the interface

AND A GREAT BIG SPECIAL THANKS TO EVERY PERSON THAT EVER GAVE ME GOOD IDEAS, BUG REPORTS, AND MORAL SUPPORT DURING THE MAKING OF THIS WONDERFUL NIGHTMARE OF A MOD.
WARNING: Do not attempt to convert this mod. Legendary and Special Edition RLE are two completely separate development branches due to unresolved conversion issues. SSE has different content in general and has to be worked on separately.
The manual install method: drop everything you want in ther data folder.
---
Shardori's install method(for MO2):
Download and install DATA files first (copy the name of your file, so you can easily CTRL Paste as you merge the different cores and files you want to use, with your DATA files).
Download the CORE files, picking only the three main cores. Like so:
eqRLE_CORE.esp
eqRLE_DLC1.esp
eqRLE_DLC2.esp
MERGE them in with your DATA files.
Now, pick the contents from the other esp files you want to use and MERGE them into your DATA files.
02_NPC_Additions - open it up and pick what you want, uncheck what you don't
03_Crafting - same as above, open it up and pick what you want, uncheck what you don't
04_Gear - same as above
05_Gameplay - same as above
06_Content_Disablers - same as above
You'll end up with numerous esp's. You can leave it as is, or open SSEEdit and load all your eqRLE esp's. Now do the following:
- Hi-light the esp's, then right click anywhere in the left pane and scroll down the menu. Pick OTHER and MERGE PATCH
- let it generate. A box will pop up for you to name your new patch, and then you can save and exit.
Open your OVERWRITE file and create your new patch. Don't forget to uncheck all esp's you won't need, as they are included in the new merged patch, but you still need the master esp checked.
Hope I helped and not confused you any more than necessary :)

A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY PASTED FROM THE FORUM THREAD:
Spoiler:
To summarize:
RLE HEAVILY edits leveled lists. If you have to ask, yes Enairim mods work. so does sperg, skyre, and other perk/gameplay overhauls. Requiem, however, is its own issue and a fence I don't plan on hopping. Combat mods work because the mod's combat modules are entirely optional and are just patch-overs of vanilla combat to make it more punishing for sloppy fighting.
Magic mods work so long as you make a merged or bashed patch. RLE just adds its own spells, as well as attack magic in the blood, earth, water, and air category. I would suggest mods that add less attack/conjuration magic and more from the other categories. (apocalypse, forgotten magic, lost grimoire, midas maybe?)
Brewing/alchemy mods are more or less fully compatible. The mod adds recipes, ingredients, and adds uses for common ingredients to create enchanted dye and charcoal.
Basically, if you open your load order up in tes5edit/xedit, you'll see what is and isn't an issue. just look for red forms and/or yellow forms in the merged patch generated.
