Any chance to add a patch for Immersive Boss Overhaul? I know it's basically a competitor, but it does address some bosses that yours doesn't and vice versa. Having a "merged" version seems like a good idea.
First off, I do love the challenge your mod brings to many bosses and enemies but I wish there was a togglable option to not use your revamp of the Ebony Warrior who is already broken due to the vanilla feat Reflect Blows. You basically have to stealth kill him or hit him with some ranged attack like magic. If you even want to fight the Ebony Warrior in vanilla using melee weapons they will have to not be tempered - especially on legendary where, as we all know, that mechanic gets super broken and takes the Reflect Blows damage and triples it which means you one shot yourself...
This version of yours takes an already broken boss and makes him even more broken. Which means most of us will only be able to defeat him using the most cheesiest means possible....which was the original problem to begin with. Yes, there are many ways to cheese kill the Ebony warrior but is that what most of us want to do? Stealth assassinate the Ebony warrior from a mile away so you don't get one-shotted? Fun? Could also turn into a vampire lord and use Corpse Bite to throw him off the mountain and then follow up the attack with a Vampiric drain blast. Dead! This is all vanilla mechanics too. Now if you add mods, this can get real complicated. I would really suggest rebalancing the Ebony Warrior or giving downloaders the option to switch your build off from the installer. I wanted a more balanced Ebony Warrior, not a more broken one.
Despite that one gripe, your mod is now apart of my download list and I love what it does to pretty much every other enemy. Thank you for all your hard work. Just...can you give us an option to not break our Ebony Warriors?
PS: When I fought your version my difficulty was set at 25% and 25% - Meaning both my character and enemies can only do 25% of our damage. Imagine if I turned the difficulty to Legendary, which is what I play at. Yikes! Toooo OP, bro. lol Most of us do not have level 300 characters. Id say most of us stick to level 81 max like it was before the Dragonborn DLC.
PSS: Just saw the patcher on your other page. Maybe that might have helped a bit since I do have most the popular enemy overhaul mods. So there's that. I just installed it.
Wow. Never got to fight the ebony warrior. I'm just patching the NPC edits from the original Real Bosses mod. Had no idea it was this broken tho. I can add a patch to remove the edits from the Ebony Warrior... I'm not in the editing NPCs system phase of building my modlist, so I don't know when I'll do it. But if you want, I can add a patch when you want.
RB Author here, feel free to make edits to Ebony Warrior as desired. I've intended to for awhile but it won't happen until my next playthrough, which who knows when i'll do it.
If just making xEdit changes I'd recommend changing his Magnitude perks with that of Miraak. This would keep him hard but very beatable.
This was first made at a time when all the new balanced combat mods didn't exist and even playing on Legendary was a cakewalk with the right setup. This is why I typically recommend people to just use the light version of the mod now. If you have a good balanced setup in regards to challenge it'll just elevate the boss' a little bit above that.
Hi bro, there are two BUVARP mods, one original, named BUVARP, which the patch I made was for, and then revamped: BUVARP SE RE, which I didn't patch (I don't even know if it needs it).
I'll look to see if BUVARP SE RE needs a patch and then if it does, I'll upload it since I'll be starting to use it as well.
Oh I see, can't keep track of all the WARP mods lol!
Also another request:
- Ryn's Snazzy Last Vigil changes the Ebony Warrior gear and bossfight, could you patch that? - Ryn's Greater Saarthal also changes the final bossfight with Gauldur.
For the sake of my sanity, I'll just patch mods I'll use/that are important. BUVARP SE RE is ready and will be released. Last Vigil will also be covered. Ryn's Saarthal, I personally don't use, I use Greater Saarthal instead.
But I've noticed you've written Ryn's Greater Saarthal, do these 2 Saarthal mods got patched? If so, where?
I know this is kinda' random, but could you please make a sort of patch/replacer that replaces both Imperial/Stormcloak cloaks with black fur cloaks from a mod called 'Cloaks and Capes'? Basically, it's to go along with a newer mod called "Witcher 2 Nilfgaardian Empire SE', and Stormcloak blue doesn't match with some replacers, either.
Most likely it is due to other conflicting files. For a temporary solution, use Face Discoloration Fix. For a permanent solution, learn and use EasyNPC. And of course, always sort plugins before playing via LOOT.??

Track me for when I drop it.
I hope to post it this month.
