I requested that the old thread be locked, as this is such a huge change from version 1.2 that I think it deserves a new thread. After a lot of discussion on the forums, and a lot of time and thought put into the spells, I've completely redone the lich mod from the ground up. New spells, new liches, new staves, basically a whole new mod. I've effectively doubled the size of the last one.

I would really really appreciate feedback on this. I'm hoping that this mod will provide a challenge, but balancing out level 50, and 75 creatures can prove to be quite difficult. If you play with this, please let me know how the liches are. Also, I forgot to mention it in the readme, but they will also spawn in the appropriate leveled lists. Liches are no longer only in the sewers of Mournhold. I find integrating them into the game very important.

Cool, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the release! Seems like a lot of consideration have gone into this. Looking forward to meeting them, although it might take a while as I'm just starting a new char. I'll get back with feedback later.

Some nitpicking advice: I'd recommend filling up the author and description fields for the esp. Also, name the readme something else then just "readme". Personally, I like the "espname_readme" format as it will be easy to find then, so "NX9_liches_readme" in this case.

Looks great! My favorite looking ones are the Netherlich, the one in Lich2.jpg and the Ancientlich. For some reason, the last one kinda looks funny. But that's just me.

Netherlich looks cool, gonna try this one for sure

I get this warning when loading a save with NazoX9's Liches V2.0:

Unable to locate object 'NX9_netherstaff_06' in Leveled Item 'NX9_Rndm_netherstaff'.

Yay! I'm downloading it!

Thanks.

Eh, thought deleting it would remove it from the leveled list. I'll take care of it.

Edit: Interestingly enough, when I load up my esp that staff isn't in the leveled list anymore. :\ I know I didn't delete it from the list, so perhaps it just needed to be loaded in the CS one more time. If I can get confirmation on that, I can make a quick release without the error.

Anything you set to ignore in the 'Details...' window of CS will not get loaded for that edit session. You then have to resave the mod to completely delete the ignored object/reference from the plugin.

New file, in the same place. Fixes the refference error.

I still get the same warning.

I wonder if it's the save then. Perhaps it's cause your game is still looking for that staff in the leveled list, even though it's not there. :shrug:

It's a clean save. I thought it might have been because I previously had the earlier version of Liches, so I made sure to load w/o it checked, resaved and then cleaned it with Wrye. :shrug:

EDIT: Also, I get the warning when initializing the game so it shouldn't be caused by a save in the first place.

Alright well I've gone in, and just remade NX9_netherstaff_06 and added it to the leveled list, so it should get rid of the error for anyone that's having it.

They look well done, however I think if I was a mage becoming a Lich wouldn't be appealing if so much of me was to fall off.

Cool, thanks for updating this NazoX9 :thumbsup:

Thank you. Anyone have any feedback on the difficulty of the fights? Too hard, too easy, just right? Anything would be wonderful for getting this well balanced.
