Mod Idea: Difficulty setting mod

[TheMuffinman1988]

I am wondering would a difficulty mod be possible to make, maybe a damage multiplier, so if your playing on a harder difficulty you may hit half as hard and enemies may hit you twice as harder. This will allow people to have more challenging experiences in Daggerfall without gimping their class.

Agreed. Classic had a utility called DF-MONST that allowed you to multiply enemy health and armor class. I was quite happy to raise them to 2 or 3 times their normal value to give me a real challenge.

Damage is a trickier matter I think, since most classes are really fragile anyway. If someone programmed it I'm sure it'd end up useful to someone.

Actually, I'm wondering if this is something DFU reads from classic files. Would altering this change DFU's values?

As for the Df-MONST tool, I imagine that will also work with Unity as long as you edit the Daggerfall folder that Unity is reading?

Some values are read directly from the Daggerfall installation, but others run off of DFU's own values. We'll have to see what the devs say

I for my own part am trying to run DF-MONST and it's not working for me at all I can't test it for now.

I used DF-MONST on my DF installation and it doesn't alter stats once you get into DFU. Too bad! All the more reason for someone to develop a parallel now
