Mod for changing difficulty more easilyquick keys

Post » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:22 am

Does anyone know of a mod that allows for difficulty changes on the fly? Some boss draugr are OP with the one-hit bows, and some low level draugr are underpowered and require one dual wield hit.

I'd like more time in combat and less in the Role Playing/crafting, sorting, and selling aspects of the game. While reducing the ridiculous ratios where I have to hit a boss 40 times and they can one or two-hit me.

One of the biggest issues that I've faced in Skyrim is how the range of enemy's difficulties is so great. In fighting through many dungeons, you end up one hitting half or more of the Draugr only to encounter another who takes 10-20 times more damage.

I have been into the settings a hundred times in an attempt to balance the difficulty of the opposition manually.

On my most recent charcter, I said hell with it and just left it on Master, except for the occasional overpowered Dragonpriest. Legendary just became too ridiculous to bother with.

I don't have access to the internet much, so I haven't had a ton of time to search, but google hasn't helped me find a mod that allows for quick changes in difficulty settings.

What I would love to have is a mod that allows you to set the damage ranges for the different difficulty settings. Like instead of having the damage multipliers and ratios defined as they are, I would like to tweak several of them so that they were between Adept and a bit harder than Master level. It's ridiculous how the difficulty jumps from Master to Legendary. There should be a few settings in between the two.

Anyway, with the user-defined difficulty ranges, it would be great to have the ability to increase/decrease the difficulty of engagements with quick keys, like with something like the +/- on the numpad. I just think that the wide ranges of enemy toughness makes the game either frustrating or boring and constantly switching the difficulty in the menus is too much.

It takes 5 seconds to pause the game and change the difficulty....

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3829/? (a plugin that comes with the Deadly Dragons mod) allows you to configure Health, Damage, Armor Rating and other stats for Humanoid, Animals, Creatures and Undead, via an in-game MCM menu.

It's a matter of immersion being broken, not the amount of work it takes.

I can't think of any hotkey mods that allow that, but if you have a gaming keyboard, you might be able to set up a macro to open escape and change the difficulty.

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30505/? might be able to help you out a little bit, but it isn't exactly what it sounds like you want to me.
