About this mod
Changes the skill progression of all skills to be more rewarding at high levels. No more diminishing returns. Continued investment now pays off.
- Permissions and credits
This mod overhauls skill progression to be more rewarding at high levels.
Motivation
Investing additional points into skills results in diminishing returns in the base game. This means that at high levels it is often better to invest in many skills rather than specializing in a few. This mod makes investing all points into only a few skills a more viable option. Hopefully this will enable more build diversity.
Mod details
Skill overhauls have been done in the following way.
- Skills are unchanged up to level 10.
- From level 10 up to level 30 skills progress with the same increase as between levels 9 and 10.
The changes are most impactful at level 30. The difference to the normal skill values at level 20 are only modest in most cases.
Compatibility
The mod was made for DS2BW V2.3.
This mod only touches a single file which means conflicts should be limited but there will be conflicts with any other mod that changes skill values.
Installation
Simply extract the mod file from the zip and drop it into your Resource folder in your Dungeon Siege 2 directory.
