'ARCHER'S HELL' mod series
The goal: To make the surface (the wilderness) really challenging and fun to play, even for archers who play with increased movement speed, and other "buffs"; to make the gameplay depend more on player's skills and reflexes than on stats.
For me, fighting with melee NPCs and creatures in Skyrim (on the surface) is too boring. I don't like shooting slow melee arrow sponges. I like quick, dynamic dodge-and-shoot interactions with the enemies, like these:
'The Cult of Silence' adds challenging and cool-looking enemies (which were shown in the video) to the surface spawn leveled lists. They are added to the leveled lists dynamically, in-game. Because of that the mod is compatible with everything. There's no need for patches. The load order doesn't matter.
Spell-swords are my favorite enemies in the game. They have the strengths of both the ranged and the melee NPCs. They are better, than the other ranged NPC types because they don't waste time on hiding behind the rocks. No, they always try to get closer to you. Running away from them isn't easy.
And they are better, than the melee enemies, because, well, they can shoot at you... Even if you play with higher movement speed, don't forget that a fireball moves faster anyway.
Although the cultists themselves are all spell-swords, they can summon a wide range of minions: from Shadow Archers to animals and automatons. The summoned creatures are damage-dealers with not a lot of HP and they do not disappear when you kill the summoner. That's why usually it's better to kill them first.
Important:
This mod requires the third-party armor mod (Kynreeve Armor): LE SE
You don't need its .esp if you don't want to make the armor for yourself.
The armor and weapons of the cultists aren't lootable, but you get a decent amount of gold for killing them, plus some magical items, plus the unique amulets that you can collect and turn into permanent buffs to your bow damage. Collect 20 amulets, use a forge to create a ring with the enchantment that will increase your bow dmg by 1%. Collect 20 more, and upgrade your ring to a better one (+1% stronger) and so on to the infinity (almost).
But beware! Killing the cultists isn't an easy challenge:
Also they take less damage from sneak attacks.
