FA: REDUX is a complete overhaul of Fable Anniversary, which rebalances and alters the entire game. Everything has been rebalanced, cut content has been restored and there are new chests to find. There are also new enemies and chests after the human Jack of Blades fight!
Optional Not Required but this is built with REDUX in mind

Changelogs
Version 2.13
Tweaked the experience some spells give you upon use and slightly increased the Will cost of Multi Strike
Version 2.12
Fixed the Harbinger losing its equipped augment after unequipping the weapon
Version 2.11
Fixed the hero_strong.bncfg file making your late-game Heroes look skinny/weird!
Version 2.1
SHOULD have fixed the Greatwood Lake crash, added some enemies and chests that spawn in the world after the first Jack fight and added a new "super flourish" mechanic that gets unlocked at Max Physique.
Version 2.0
Added balancing changes including buffed spells, QoL tweaks, and other little features! In general, I've made Redux closer in quality and balance to Fable - Aeon Edition, my TLC overhaul mod.
Version 1.2
1) Lower level (levels 1 and 2) bandits have had their HP reduced. Early game is still hard, but manageable because enemies are no longer damage sponges. They still have high damage weapons though. 2) Wasps are no longer immune to ranged damage, but instead only take 25% ranged damage. 3) Elixir of Life potions now give you twice as much health. This should mitigate being insta killed the second a player enters Greatwood, without completely nerfing the difficulty for those who want a challenge. 4) Lower levels of Guile have been slightly nerfed. 5) Lower levels of Health have been slightly buffed. 6) The HP cap has been increased. WARNING: These changes have not been tested (due to me being unable to get Anniversary to work) but I shouldn't have broken anything.
Version 1.1
Rebalanced the game, restored cut content and added more chests and items to find
Version 1.0.5
Fixed the bug with the Necropolis Demon Door chest
Version 1.0.4
Fixed being able to get the Katana Hiryu twice. The Bowerstone Manor chest has been removed. Unless you've not been to Bowerstone North or the Prison Passage yet, you need to start a new game for the change to take effect.
Version 1.0.3
Fixed one of the Bandit Camp fist fighters having 3000hp instead of 300.
Version 1.0.2
Fixed the Arena mobbing you with enemies in the middle of a wave. Also slightly increased the Fist Fighter's Club gold reward per round.
Version 1.0.1
Fixed the bug where the game would CTD while attempting to start Twinblade's boss fight.
Fable Anniversary: REDUX is not just a difficulty mod. Although the game has been made harder (mainly early-game), this is not the point of the mod.
In making this mod, I have set out to:
Make all playstyles more viable by rebalancing weapons, armour and spells
Make augmentations and switching up your playstyle more important by editing enemy resistances
Make the side activities of the game (i.e. tavern games, chicken kicking, fist fighting etc.) more worth your time
Make renting properties (for evil heroes) and marriage (for good heroes) more viable
Added new chests, NPC drops (by which I mean enemies now drop their weapons, like the Hobbe Hammers and Bandit Scimitars) and enemy spawns in order to give you that feeling of playing Fable for the first time again
Restore cut content
Make late-game and post-game more fun, specifically by adding new enemy spawns and chest spawns to the world after the first Jack fight
To see all of the other changes I have made, consult the readme file, which contains a fully updated changelog. Instructions on how to download and apply FA: REDUX are also contained in the readme, along with FAQs and known bugs and issues.
