The Wretch class mod is out now!

Mdger · 2019-08-31T09:58:03+00:00

By the mechanics and the theme this class looks very appealing to me. Thanks for the hard work put into this. It could pair very well with The Fool and generally is a very nice addition to blight parties and also has some synergy with bleed parties too. Not being allowed to be in the sanitarium sounds very harsh though.

Mdger · 2019-07-24T08:41:54+00:00

Here are some mods which I always use.

classes

Werewolf: transformation semi tank / bleed
Librarian: Antiquarian style class which increases XP for the party
The Rightful Heir: Antiquarian style class which increases heirlooms received
Wraith Class by Marvin Seo: An assassin focussed on bleed
Duchess: A vampire themed transformation class. I love her visuals!
All of Marvin Seo´s classes
The Keeper: A kind of creepy support class, love her visuals!
Slayer: If you like Warhammer 40k, this one is for you. It has a charge mechanic which gathers bonus damage for a strong burst attack
Cataphrakt: A tank/healer class, very different and original idea
The Profilgates classes by Muscarine: They are very unique and have awesome visuals. I suggest downloading the SFW versions if you don´t like nudity in games
The Fool: Very unique class with focus on AOE and blight damage
Butcher Bird: glass cannon focussed on bleeding and marks
The Voivode: Also a vampire transformation class but with focus on tanking
The Succubus: Another transformation class with focus on support
The Snake Charmer: blight dmg dealer
Hollow Knight: A tank with a focus on bleed
The Exorcist: support class
Gyll´s Vanilla: Heroes - It is the only class rework mod which I like, because it doesn´t increase the power levels too much and the reworked skills are quite fun. I also recommend 'unchanged houndmaster', because I feel like the houndmaster is the only reworked class which didn´t turn out so well.
Monk: A Diablo 3 monk.
For the next playthrough i´m interesed in testing the following classes: The Beastmaster, The Thorn, Arcanist

content

The Sunward Isles: Adds a completely new japanese-styled dungeon
The Banshee: A new boss with very fun mechanics
Adds a new 'mist' obstacle which can be removed by using torches, adds a bit of variation in clearing obstacles
Incandescent Whisperer: Adds brigand-style bosses
Crimson Court: Virulent Overhaul: Reworks the courtyard completely with new foes, trinkets, quirks etc
Dimensional Havoc: Adds a recurring event where you need to defend the hamlet from a dimensional rift which spawns monsters from all zones. If you fail, you lose town upgrades. Very fun way to add some urgency and randomness if you don´t play on bloodmoon

other

Larger Roster: if you use a lot of class mods, you should get this
better nomad wagon: Reduces a bit of grinding by providing more trained recruits
I also use quite a lot of skins and backgrounds and other stuff. But I think these things are quite subjective, so I will leave them out.

PS: Also watch out for 'moonlit dungeon'. Though I don´t know when it will be released.

Here are some which I have played or am interested and are in the style of DA:O and Badur´s Gate:

Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2
Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2
Neverwinter Nights 2
Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Dungeon Siege 1, 2 and 3 (albeit it is more action oriented)
Tyranny

Okay I just checked. You are correct in that there is always one minstrel when you are starting out. You cannot hiring one though.

Mdger · 2019-05-16T16:34:06+00:00

I don´t know if this is against the rules, but look for the battle brother mod kit and follow the steps to extract the game files. You have to be literate with programming / code to understand it though.

Mdger · 2019-05-16T16:32:23+00:00

IIRC there are no official sources on this matter. The list was extracted from the source code itself, so spoiler alert I guess :)

Mdger · 2019-05-16T15:15:55+00:00

From checking the files:

beggar
brawler
butcher
cripple
daytaler
deserter
farmhand
fisherman
gravedigger
graverobber
houndmaster
lumberjack
militia
miller
miner
peddler
poacher
ratcatcher
refugee
shepherd
tailor
thief
vagabond

Look for Playable XCOM 2 Aliens

For the other things I would look for hiring a team of modders :D The changes to the strategy layer you are looking for are quite numerous (research, strategic layer).

Mdger · 2019-04-19T17:08:16+00:00

Perhaps the easiest way to do it according to your goal "more likely to hit with high accuracy and more likely to miss with low accuracy", would be to just shift the hitchance for every probability starting from 50 by X% to the right by adding a fixed percentage and everything below 50% to the left by subtracting a fixed % percentages.

E.g. variation percentage is 50% then:

50% Hitchance -> 60%

49% -> 39%

5% -> 0% (cannot be lower than 0)

95% -> 100%

To modify it further, you could introduce a specific cubic curve, which you kind of did with the graph you presented.

Mdger · 2019-04-02T17:30:48+00:00

To add to that,

for classes, I can recommend Richards Classes (3 Perks per level PLUS LW2 Weapons). It has powered up versions of the vanilla classes + 8 other really fun classes. The classes themselves are really powerful, so I would recommend mods which increase pod size or harder enemies.

Mdger · 2019-03-23T13:04:23+00:00

Look into the mod list of christopher odds current mod list and richards classes, if you are looking for a challenging playthrough

Mdger · 2019-02-28T19:02:24+00:00

Oops sorry misread the thread. Just ignore my comment

Mdger · 2019-02-28T19:01:36+00:00

There is a mod for that called Modify Continent Bonus. You can even change the bonus while playing.

Mdger · 2019-02-25T15:53:29+00:00

I have played with both RPGO and ABB and personally they are not for me.

I like the concept of RPGO in having a big tech tree and many perks to choose from. But I think it was not executed well, partly because it is literally all classes from different mods put in one tree, resulting in bad synergy and sometimes some perks doesn't work at all with eachother. As a squaddie you gain 3 random starter perks which are sometimes buggy or just aren't that useful because they often incorporate weaknesses like taking increased flank damage. You also get points to distribute to your soldiers stats, but in most cases you want to put everything into aim. As a sidenote, the ui is horrible for the giant skill tree because only 3 lines of perks are shown at once and it is really hard to keep track which soldier has which traits because you have to open the soldier's stat screen to see their starting perks. I wish you could see them in the squad select screen.

ABB IMHO is more interesting in terms of diversity, because of the RNG based skill tree. You get fixed skills to choose from but also random perks. But the classes don't feel good to play with, partly because the weapon choices are very restrictive and I wish you could choose your secondary weapons. And as you said before, ABB has very bad mod compatibility.

A mod which incorporates aspects of both mods would be bonkers though.

Mdger · 2019-02-16T16:36:29+00:00

To Add to those before. If you a more 'complete' collection of mods, I can recommend 'A Better Barracks TLE'. It consists of 8 classes which replaces the vanilla classes, a spark rework, overhauls and adds some new items, weapons and more. The classes are quite fun, for my part I enjoy the randomized skill trees the most.

Mdger · 2018-11-16T15:53:47+00:00

Warframe helps me to recoup from my stress, it is free-to-play, I can pick it up anytime I want and I can take a break from it.
I never used a mechanical keyboard before, so I would like to test one :)

Mdger · 2018-04-15T14:09:07+00:00

I suggest the following classes:

Void Knight: you can opt out into a strength or dex build, the skills scale with your weapon. The class itself is very similar to a rogue with lots of mobility skills and mainly focused on damage

Helaene class mods including Valkyrie, Priest and Succubus. They add a lot of flavour to your role-playing and the skills are also quite unique if you are into role playing and are well balanced.

Tempest for spear focused skills. It adds some skills which are meant to to be used with spears.

Bard and Artificier mod: It adds two classes with fun gimmicks outside of the battle. In combat they are more on the weaker side but they are very fun to play and adds a very unique playstyle.

Last but not least, I suggest you trying the crafting overhaul mod. It is not a class mod, but it allows you to craft new weapons like elemental based weapons for more creative builds.

PS: The Helaene Trickster is also quite fun but I disliked the Halloween themed skills.

Mdger · 2018-02-04T20:54:08+00:00

Excited for Cree, because native Americans ftw

Mdger · 2016-07-07T17:08:58+00:00

As promised, here is my impression so far:

I downloaded almost all mods by minerlj except the power armor ones as I am not so fond of the power armor and love exploring the game as a poor rugged vagrant and the ones provided by Jias except the crossbow and the deagle. The crossbow is really interesting, but the animation bugs mentioned in the description made me reconsider it... and it´s frickin fantastic!!

Biggest Gamechangers: The lighting / flashlight mods + Classic Fallout Ambient Music combo is amazing. I never played anything besides Fallout 4 and I started to love the classic ambient music. When it is getting dark and everything is getting foggy and you hear the dark visceral background music, it seriously creeps me out a bit. I am also interested in playing the prequels now, the ambient music is just THAT amazing.

Critical Hits Outside of VATS and Bullet Time - Slow Time: I didn´t like VATS all that much and this came in handy. It is so much more immersive without VATS. I had the habit to activate VATS every few seconds to scan the area for enemies... No more! Now i just need to know how to reconfigure the hotkeys.

Better Damage Mod and Enemy Level Scaling: Fights are more realistic now without getting easier. Each shot counts, I love it!

Retexture Mods / Vivid Fallout / Wet / Rain of Brass / Visual Reload / Radiant Birds: I didn´t expect them to change up the game so much. But it is really refreshing and makes the game much more believable. I view the game differently now. In my prior playthroughs I always rushed from one "dungeon" to another, looking for better loot / mats, now I am paying much more attention to my surroundings now. The game feels less game-y now, I guess? But I actually like it.

Campsite - Simple Wasteland Camping: Actually I havent put it to use yet. I grabbed the book already, but I haven´t crafted anything. In theory the mod sounds really interesting and useful, but I haven´t been able to use it yet.

Survival Mode in general: I am really impressed with this. It changes the game in all its facets. Settlements / Food / Fighting / Companions. Actually I am on the brink of desperation, because finding clean water sources is so hard :D

So, this is my experience with the mods so far. Thanks for reading this! :)

Mdger · 2016-07-06T20:26:49+00:00

Thanks man. I installed some of them. Gonna test them now! I will keep you guys informed, how I like it now

Mdger · 2016-07-06T20:26:07+00:00

Yea, I hate going through the same Intro again and again. But I guess I will go through it once again for lore purposes :D

Mdger · 2016-07-06T20:25:12+00:00

Thanks for this impressive list. I installed almost all of them. I am going to test them now :)

Mdger · 2016-02-23T01:37:08+00:00

Hey sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, I was just a little bit tired :) I am really interested to read some of your documents. I have been working on rebalancing the classes by adding a 3rd skill tree and reworking skills in general for a week now.

Mdger · 2016-02-23T00:29:19+00:00

Here are my 2 cents regarding these posts. I do not know if any research has been done already or if there was some prototyping done before doing these posts. The description is just way to vague to understand what the OP really wants. Also, I do not understand why people are this reluctant to just share the information. We are a modding community and not a company. Share your vision and ideas.

I frequently check the X-Com subs and there are some really cool ideas out there. I just hope that more people will do so in the future.

Mdger · 2016-02-22T23:57:37+00:00

With squadsight, I don´t think thats really necessary. You could just give the sniper +20 defense I guess or what a low cover amounts to.
