Requiem 6.0.0 “Unbroken Road” has been released
Secondly it should be perhaps an expert level spell, given instakill spell in conjuration.
Have you thought about adding few more spells?
Just two observations... there should be a proper description here or somewhere else about what the mod does, the features, the tweaked mechanics and a solid compatibility section. I'm using tens if not hundreds of other specific mods that add roleplaying tweaks and mechanics not cover by this mod, most likely (ex. Alchemy Require Bottles, Containers Weight Restrictions, iNeed for needs and a disease system, Wounds for injuries, A Map will Help, etc. not to mention game patches like OCS which actually lock me up from using any curated list of mods since none of them feature this primary bugfix of Skyrim) and i have no way of knowing if they are compatible or not. The second thing, i really don't think that deleveling the game is a good way to go (i always avoided mods that do the same thing as MorroLoot or Scarcity). If you character progress in level and skills, it is more realistic and certainly immersive to assume that the other actors will progress as well (there is actually a scarcity of mods that take advantage of the Radiant AI). Otherwise, the world will not be as challenging past the 'humble beginning' even with the extra challenges that this mod or other combat overhauls adds. So, ultimately you can have just short roleplaying experiences, very few past level 50, almost none past level 100.
Now a little about roleplaying. I'm a firm believer that roleplaying is a choice the player makes. The games are merely some frameworks, where you can unfold your stories and imagination. The people want the game developers (and mod authors in some cases) to make the choices for them, and they call that RPGs, isn't this laughable? They call RPGs some story / narrative games where you don't even get to create your own character or chose its name, like Witcher or Kingdom Come Deliverance series, or Combat Sims like the Souls Games. On the other side, we have a gamming framework like Skyrim, where you can do everything really (and with the enhancing of modding). Combat seem to be the most people focus (this rp overhaul as well), but it's just a small portion of what you can role-play. I have a lot of fun roleplaying characters that have nothing to do with combat, like a beggar / skooma addict, an alchemist, a cat burglar, a traveling merchant with bodyguards, a fugitive, a spy, etc. You just need to find out enough mods to enhance the experience. And then we have Morrowind which all people love, and for most of us it is the game that introduced us into this francize. Morrowind has a better story-line than Skyrim, but it is a better RPG Framework? Certainly not! It is severely limited framework compared with Skyrim, both because of the game mechanics or because of the modding content. You have Fast Travel in Skyrim, and a lot of other immersion-breaking and cheating features like follow the arrow marker for quest, open the world map every 5 minutes, crosshair, sneak-meter, compass, enemy health-bar. This doesn't mean that you have to use any of these; i certainly don't use them or disable them in settings and INIs, for a pure organic experience and almost ZERO Hud intrusion. Are these elements making Skyrim a lesser RPG? No, it is the other way around, it is a massively expanded RPG framework than the previous titles, not speaking other games with scarce RPG elements. So it's ok to take inspiration from other games, but you have the best RPG Framework ever made right here and with the modding tools and content, the roleplaying potential of this game is unlimited. This is like our RPG Home, the other games are just some places we briefly visit for a short vacation.
The things you complain about, are the things we play Requiem for. And as someone that considers Skyrim one the most shallow and bland games I've ever played, Requiem is the only reason why I even play this game. Without this mod, I would have never bothered to play this game again since my first run back in 2012.
Requiem was not completely what I was looking for, BUT once tried I become fan of its "perfection", how much well is done, how balanced it is and above anything else I love that feeling when the player is able to defeat enemies/dungeons that seemed impossible or very hard at first tries: this last thing it does so well, it does super well, and it's addictive.
And only with develling you can go and fight hard enemies, much higher than you and get that thrill. Of course it needs "some getting used to".
Anyway you can tune yourself how much npc are "levelling" compare to you in a way, setting higher damage taken and lower damage done by your char. I only started to use this way and it seems to work well to change the fight duration and to keep the game challenging at highest levels, even if it's quite interesting to see how the author imagined the game at default values first.
About learning what the mod does, there is no better way than "just playing it", anyway you can find many info in reddit pages like this one or just look at the plugin in SSEedit if you can. Also there is quite active discord with people usually very ready to help and suggest.
as far as adding stuff like survival alchemy and other random mods that change stuff it can be done but you might have to learn xedit to make custom patches or use mods like sunhelm that have requiem patches already. you can still run reputation mods and there are some religion mods that work well with requiem so im not really sure what else you are missing or need.
it. It get no charges, if I try to charge it with soul gems by pressing "T", it gets no charges. Is this a bug ?
Edit: Ah, ok, it can be charged, it just needs tons of charges/soul gems
Enemies in Requiem don't scale. Wolves stay at the same power level when you are at level 80 as when you were level 1. It's supposed to highlight your rise in the world.
Low level enemies like wolves and most bandits become a nuisance more than a threat late in the game, but then you move on to serious enemies like daedra.
It turns out that LOOT in Vortex is forcing Requiem to load after mods that have it as a master, including Requiem's own optional files that depend on it. LOOT is also forcing USSEP to load after Requiem. The only way around this that I could come up with was to disable automatic sorting and lock them to a manual index, to force Requiem to load in the right order.
I have no idea why LOOT is doing this. Maybe someone in charge of LOOT has it out for Requiem? Or maybe there is some kind of bug that just came up between LOOT and Vortex? (I will note that Requiem is the only mod I have that these issues are happening with.)
Extra Note: Make sure your Reqtificator patch is also manually sorted afterwards as well, or else LOOT will also try to force that to load before Requiem.
