Description:
This mod adds new enemies starting as low as level 2 for almost all of Skyrim's enemy types. New variants are added for Bandits, Forsworn, Draugr, Falmer, Warlocks, Dragon Priests, Falmer, Vampires, Gargoyles, Ash Spawn and more (see below section for a full list). The stats, skills, perks, spells, damage dealt and damage mitigated of each variant were adjusted to keep enemies in line with the player's natural progression so that the game continues to provide a challenge at higher levels.
To give an example of what's been added, in Vanilla the highest level bandit was level 25 (28 for a boss). This mod adds bandits at levels 30, 40, 50 and 60 (66 for a boss). However, once you pass level 60 the game won't suddenly get easy. The top level enemies of each type will scale with your level to a level cap of about 80. This means you'll still get the same variety of enemies you expect from Skyrim but you'll never out-level everything ensuring the game remains challenging.
So for example at level 70 you'll encounter the usual bandits from Skyrim as well as the added level 30, 40 and 50 bandits, but the highest level bandit (originally level 60) will scale to match you at level 70.

High Level Enemies Redux Beast Skeletons
Spoiler:
Integrates the excellent Beast Skeletons models into High Level Enemies Redux. All existing skeleton NPCs now have a small chance to be either Argonian, Khajiit, Orc, or Elf, with the most common still being Human.
The new spawns added by the original Beast Skeletons will now also conform to HLER's new NPC levels, bit will still only be non-human skeletons.
