Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Reputation Rebalance - A Quarter at a Time

Mod Description:

Choose Your Challenge: This mod offers two distinct gameplay variants for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, allowing you to tailor the difficulty to your preference in key gameplay areas: NPC Interactions, Crime and Punishment, and Reputation Management.

Variant 1: A Quarter Easier - For a More Forgiving Experience

This variant makes the game approximately 25% easier. NPCs become less reactive, crime penalties are reduced, and reputation management becomes more lenient. This is ideal for players who find the base game too challenging in these areas or prefer a more forgiving and accessible experience.

Variant 2: A Quarter Harder - For a More Demanding Experience

This variant makes the game approximately 25% harder. NPCs and animals become more reactive, crime penalties are increased, and reputation management becomes more challenging. This is designed for players seeking a significantly more demanding and realistic gameplay experience, where caution and strategic decision-making are paramount.
