Thank you for all of the replies!

Thanks for the answer. I already checked the nexus for the updated mod but it seems many of them haven't got updated after the release date of 4.0. just wondering if it's not updated or it doesn't need to be. Because i also upload my mod there and haven't got the time to update

Hey guys, I took a break from playing Deadfire since the first DLC (the Winter one) and before I was updating many mods to keep it playable. Do I need to update the mods again this time for 4.0? If so, what kind of mods need to be updated? All of them or just some? I remember I have to update subclasses and abilities mod from pre-2.0 and pos-2.0. I want to play again now that every premium DLC is out but I also want to play with some of the mods I previously used. Thank you for any kind of response...

Apologies if I don't write it clearly, I mean per level... Not just for all enemy which defeat the purpose if all enemies gain it regardless of their level. I already knew about the HealthMultiplier etc. under each Difficulty since I've made a difficulty mod. What I'm asking is more variations of these entries: "LevelScalingArmorLevelIncrement": 3, "LevelScalingArmorModifier": 1, "LevelScalingPenetrationLevelIncrement": 2, "LevelScalingPenetrationModifier": 1, Because, this related to the enemy level / scaling, not just any enemy. So would you have a scaling table for any single enemy? Not any single enemy but enemies that are affected by the scaling. This is what I mean, editing HealthMultiplier under the difficulty affects all of them including enemies from the first island or with low levels. However, Armor and Penetration on the level scaling (either Increment or modifier) - like this line "LevelScalingArmorModifier": 1 - only affect some enemies that are affected by the level scaling. So, for example, Guardian of Ukaizo which is by default level 16 (if I'm not mistaken) will be affected by the rules if we fight it on level 20. Otherwise, if we fight him on level 16 or below, the scaling rules I mentioned, won't be applied. This way, we could give more challenge when we have higher levels. I hope I can explain it clearly. Sorry, if it's still confusing...

Till right now, I'm still tinkering to create or finding difficulty tweak that can give harder challenge as we gain levels. Maybe I'm just too stupid but I find it too difficult if I just only have 2 scaling options (Armor and Penetration). Is is possible to have other enemy scaling options such as Health Multiplier, Damage Multiplier, or even AttackSpeed / Recovery multiplier per Level in the Global.gamedatabundle? There is also an interesting mod in the Nexus which I think has the same goal as me but using a pet / equipment (Baldur's pig or something). However, it ties the scaling with our character's skills which is not ideal, IMHO. Although, I get it why it's chosen since there is no Dynamic Value related to character level. So, is there any chance that Obsidian gives broader access in modding?

Is it possible to list all of GUID separated by its type (Items, ItemMod, StatusEffect, Abilities, etc)? I just think it could make modding definitely easier.

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Hoping more tutorials to come...

I agree this more like 1.5 rather than 2.0. although, I don't think there will be more additional changes besides the paid contents... So sad... I was hoping there will be so much more.

I agree with this balancing. So the questions are: 1. Will Obsidian take another look at game balancing? Especially making it harder for high level? Currently, the only challenge I feel is only in the first island. After that, it's smooth sailing... Maybe except some Fampyr encounters. 2. Still related to balancing, actually, I prefer more editable entries related to game balancing in the override folder (modding access). Currently, we can only edit Armor and Penetration gain (scaling) per x level. Can we have more variables to edit in the GlobalGameSetting, such as damage multiplier per level, health gain multiplier per level, etc?

I agree with you. Although armor and weapon are easier, for me at least. Clothing is the one category that's really messed up and harder to search. I really don't understand why they have different sorting by Enchantment value and Price (which usually is pretty similar) while there is no type based sort.

I wonder if it's the weapon-swapping that's doing it. Idle speculation: The way the extra projectiles seem to be implemented is that when you shoot with Eccea's, a temporary buff gets placed on your character that increases the number of hits for all your attacks. This would explain why the extra projectiles apply to other weapons, and persist even when unequipping Eccea's, but appear to go away if you unequip one of the other weapons and then examine it, unequipped, in your inventory. The buff is supposed to only last long enough to give you extra projectiles with that shot. My guess is that the "extra hits" buff doesn't get removed properly if you've already swapped to a different weapon set that doesn't include Eccea's by the time it's supposed to expire. Since my character opens by shooting with Eccea's and then immediately swaps weapons every fight, this happens all the time for me. I'll try and do some more careful testing in the next day or two to confirm/deny. I think your idle speculation is a spot-on. I'm pretty sure it's the case because I've been messing around modding Deadfire and find similar / could reproduce the same effect. Let's say I created a new armor with an ItemMod that linked to a StatusEffect giving +5 Con. Open the game, equip that armor, save and exit. To make that +5 permanent, I could just remove the ItemMod linked from the armor without removing the StatusEffect (you could do that since the ItemMod and the StatusEffect are actually different entries). Load the previous save game. You will notice there is no mod on your armor but the StatusEffect is left permanently. The StatusEffect from Arcane Blaster is active when you are switching weapon (which the ItemMod is removed) so it's left permanently on your character. Therefore, I don't think it's a bug but it's just a messy implementation between ItemMod and StatusEffects on an Equipable / Equipment. I hope my explanation is not too confusing (my english is terrible)...

It has 16 armor but I'm not sure about the health. However, I use different method with DD about the health scaling. DD edits manually for every enemy and I use the multiplier found in the global setting. I also think it's too high although, at level 20 (I don't lower exp gain, so you could easily reach level 20 so much earlier), we should have many skills to lower enemy armor. However, if you want, you could easily lower the settings for my mods. Or how much armor do you think it's appropriate for the high level enemies? On the other side, you could also take a look on its damage to my Eder. I think, with my mod, the enemies could give bigger damage. I played 2 run-through with DD and also see the modified files (and it doesn't modify any enemy damage). So, maybe it could be less boring? Even though the enemy has similar amount of armor or maybe bigger health pool, the enemies also deal more damage and act faster (since I also modified their recovery speed). That's why it won't be boring, IMHO. What do you think? Your mod damage can be abused by Ciphers/Rogues - dominate enemies -> go to invise I played x2 times solo with DD mod, I can't suggest a lot for party balancing 16 armor is ok and 17 is very high :D On DD Ukaizo has 26L on your Screen it has 25L - this is also ok Check how much Ukazio regen health on each stage ? On DD this amount ~ 940+ Normal enemies should not has more than 14 BASE armor Could you also show Ukaizo DM roll ? I want to compare penetration value. While I didn't see +100 DM hits, your mod well balanced Thanks for your opinion. If you have the time, would you help me to test it too? Let me check the rolls when I have the time to open the game. However, how can I check about the health regen? It's harder to check most enemy's stats in here unlike in Skyrim.

I know how you feel. Although, because of what you said too, I think it's crucial to make them attack faster since we have ways to make our chars faster. But, I guess maybe it needs better tweak. I've tried different number actually but 20% faster is not really noticeable. That's why I boosted it to 40%. Let's see how the others, if any, feel about this. I (or you, if you want) could change the number easily since it's only in one line.

Thank you! let me know your experience and opinion on this... since I'm truly unsure about the numbers and making it too difficult. Even the enemy has 60% recovery now (40% faster than vanilla).

Thanks for replying... I thought no one is interested in this kind of mod.. lol...

I think I found out the main problem where it gets easier on higher level: your health per level is so much higher than enemy weapon damage. Vanilla penetration rules only have up to 2 penetration ratio multiplier (the gap between penetration and armor) which is translated to +30% damage. Therefore, I have updated the mod with new penetration rules. Combine with my 2nd method of this mod (updated on the mod page description), where enemies get 2 additional penetrations every 2 levels, I introduce new penetration ratio up to 15! Here are the examples: When the enemy has 4 penetration above your armor, it will throw +80% more damage! When the enemy has 15 penetration above your armor, it will deliver 7x damage! You could check the new rules on the files yourself if you want I really appreciate if anyone can help me test this and give me your opinions. From my own experience, even my tanks who has 400 health dies in seconds now if there is no one interrupts the enemies. For anyone who has great math, please help me tweak the formulas since I'm not that good with numbers...

Nice!!! Thanks so much!

You could test my theory: I think weapon AoE which translates abilities SE should be directly related / linked with the Attack data. You could check it on attacks.gamedatabundle if you want (exported/design/gamedata). For example, you could find 2 Attack Data entries on WotEP. Both will transfer status effect from weapon abilities. HandMortar or Tekehu's rod also has bounce component on their own Attack data, so it's affected by weapon abilities. On the other side, Crits (and its AttackData) from Frostseeker is created by an ItemMod so it's not directly linked. That's why Carnage can't also apply SE from abilities because it has its own attack data. You could try to test this yourself if you want, but I believe it's the case.

I release another mod which is my attempt in giving constant challenge across levels. I already tried this since the beginning of the game to level 15. However, I would like some suggestions, inputs, or ideas for this mod if you guys are interested... Here is the link of my mod on the Nexus. The description for the mod:

Aaah... Sorry, I'm still learning and tried to understand what you mean by creating new unique keyword. But now I think I got it. Let me try to dig it further and will update this after I've made it (or stuck again). Thanks for the ideas mate!

Yeah.. it's annoying bug on the passive skills icon. It's reported when it's on beta for a very short time but it seems they decide it doesn't matter. On the positive side, can't wait for the first DLC! I already finish the game 3 times with almost 400 hours... Now I'm just messing around with modding...

Sorry, it seems I posted this on the wrong thread. How I moved it to the appropriate one?

I know there are a lot of new Classes and Subclasses mod for companions. But is it possible to have something like D:OS 2 where you can choose every possible class for your companions? Which means, it should deal with UI modding since there are only 3 options that you have when getting a companion. Also, can we mod the retrain function so it would call the screen / UI where the 3 options shown? So we could change classes? On probably related topic, I play a little bit of Console Commands but I also haven't found the command to bring the UI when you get the companions for the first time. Do you guys know if there is a command for that?
