Made on request. Mod changes difficulties to server different purposes:
- Lower prices (x0.5): halves all merchant prices for all difficulties.
- Lower prices (x0.2): all prices are 20% of vanilla.
- High risk, high reward (x2): all creatures damage is x2, but player outcoming damage is doubled too.
- Plus: makes Story/Easy difficulties even easier (~30% for Story, ~15% for Easy), Hard/PotD even harder (~15% for Hard, ~30% for PotD). Affects player/enemies damage, not stats. The only exception is companions, they are slightly better on every difficulty (stats and ability dmg - Better Companions still relevant with this mod).
- PotD Less Glass-Cannony: Enemy Damage: 3 -> 2.5, Enemy HP: 1.5 -> 2, Companion Damage: 1 -> 1.25.
- POTD Spongier NPC: Enemy HP/Stability/Elemental Accumulation: 1.5/1.5/1.5 -> 2.5, 2, 2, Companion Damage: 1 -> 1.25
- POTD Extreme: Enemy Damage: 3 -> 3, Enemy HP/Stability/Elemental Accumulation/Attack Speed: 1.5/1.5/1.5/1.2 -> 3.5/2/2/1.35, Companion Damage: 1 -> 1.25, Merchant Prices: 1.3 -> 1.6 (I play with this difficulty and highly suggest it for anyone looking for long tactical fights, preparations and hard equipment choices). Merchants prices are high, but gems cost x5 more, so your exploration efforts will be highly rewarded and you will find it easier to buy out all important resources and unique later in the game.
There are also small food tweaks for PotD fans in Optional Files - one file reduces amount of HP/essence food regenerate (50% for normal cooked food, ~35% for OP high-tier food), another makes food regeneration continuous out of combat as well (faster than in combat, but anyway you can't rush from encounter to encounter without potions). Both can be used together and with any of difficulty options.
