I like to play a very underpowered character, generally.
I usually offset the difficulty by using mods to increase speed, jump height, stamina, underwater breathing, setting the timescale to 8, FOV to 85, and lowering fall damage. No huge changes, but enough that a light-weight stealthy character doesn't get munched the second they step outside the Winking Skeever. Generally I end up running a lot early on.
What I would like to do is find out whether there is a simple way to adjust these setting without loading a mod, or by doing anything that will make the game less stable. There are mods that do this, but I would like to accomplish the changes without burning an .esp if I can. Wrye Bash for instance allows a simple re-setting of the timescale, so I've been using it to solve that issue. I also know there are console commands to make these alterations, but obviously I'd rather not enter them all each time I play. Perhaps there is something I can add to an ini. file?
So, I don't even know if any of this is possible. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
