Compilation of various gameplay enhancements and tweaks.


Expert Enemies

Raises the level of enemies, adding more skulls and providing additional challenge.
Trash mobs ~10 levels higher.
Master type enemies and leaders are now minibosses of level 40.
Corrupted enemies are now level 35-42
Corrupted bosses - level 45
Final boss - level 50

Not completely tested.
Prologue should be unchanged except for bandit leader.
Due to increased fighting time and slightly increased xp gain, respawn time delay is recommended.
If you cannot beat enemies on first levels, lower the difficulty temporarily.

Recommended mods to use together:
Fight like your life depend on it
increase party size (or decrease it) by TPadvance


Better Companions Level Up

Improves stat gain of companions.
Companions will now max out their attributes by level 42. Vanilla-like growth.
Changes to level stat priority based on their role in combat (for example siora is now more focused on willpower (support/amulets) than mentality).

Note:
Does not require new game, but due to priority changes some stats will be +1/-1 depending on which level you applied the mod and might not show stats correctly. I tried to make it as much like in default game to avoid this, with only Siora being heavily modified. I started it on level 33 and didnt have much problems.


Delayed enemy respawn - No enemy respawn

Sets the respawn timer for enemies to 3-7 days (3 days with my timescale - 7 days with default) also available 7-16 or infinite (no respawn).
You can change however you like.


Capes use helmet slot

Moves capes to hats/helmets slot so companions can equip them as normal items.
Also serves as invisible hats for party only while they are wearing capes.
The merchants sell them as hats (no more cape icon) and their icons are that of ordinary hat.


Custom Timescale

Sets the global timescale variable to 4 minutes = 1 hour in game, like in Gothic/Risen series, providing more realistic and immersive day/night cycle.
Requires starting a new game.


Better XP bar

Sets the xp bar to always show (if you are using Minimalist HUD replace gui_ingame_hero_xp.gui with this file).
Notifications about points to spend replaced by 2 small diamonds.
