Let me clarify that. Raising the level of the creature by adjusting levelmult only does two things. It gives more experience for killing it and it gives the constitution bonus to vitality. It does not change the base vitality, saves, to hit or damage...  [Read More]

Hey Achilles, I am curious what you have found out about the autobalance 2da. I looked at it when I was building the Hardcore mod. On the surface, the autobalance.2da seems like the perfect method to balance TSL, because anyone could customize their...  [Read More]

Good posts here and I agree with you. A major problem any open ended RPG faces is balancing difficulty. The only one that did a half way decent job was Baldurs Gate 1 & 2. But even those series became easy if you knew the mechanics of how the gam...  [Read More]

Hey Chainz, The mod works by slowing buffing the NPC for each level you get. The figures above are just a summary at what their bonuses would be at that level. So when your character is Level 5, the bonuses will be half of the value in the level 10...  [Read More]

The mod does not directly adjust the NPC level. You can not adjust the level directly through a script. What it does is adjust the To Hit, saving throws and vitality points directly. If your character is level 30 and your opponent is level 20 after...  [Read More]

Let me know how it goes. If the overall consensus is that the game is still too easy, I can re-release the mod with tougher settings or I can walk you through how to bump the setting up yourself. Either one is pretty easy....  [Read More]
