High level enemy Redux

Update and continuation of Dalquist advanced enemies.

Dalquist's original high-level enemy mod

Requirements/Notes:

Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch

Don't clean any plugins.

All optional files are espfe.

describe:

This mod adds new enemies starting at level 10 to almost all of Skyrim's enemy types. Added new variants for Bandits, Forsaken, Draenor, Falmer, Warlocks, Dragon Priests, Falmer, Vampires, Gargoyles, Ashspawn, and more (see section below for full list). Each variant's attributes, skills, perks, spells, damage dealt, and damage mitigated have been adjusted to align enemies with the player's natural progression so that the game continues to provide challenge at higher levels.

For example, in Vanilla, the highest level gangster is level 25 (the boss is 28). This mod adds level 30, 40, 50 and 60 bandits (boss is 66). However, once you pass level 60, the game doesn't suddenly get easier. The top enemies of each type scale with your level. This means you still have access to the same variety of enemies as in Skyrim, but you're never overpowered by everything, ensuring the game remains challenging.

So, for example, at level 70, you will encounter Skyrim's normal bandits, as well as the newly added level 30, 40, and 50 bandits, but the highest level bandits (originally level 60) will be proportionally matched to level 70.

All enemies in vanilla Skyrim remain unchanged. Only new enemies have been added. New enemy names are consistent with naming conventions in Skyrim.

Bandits may now carry glass and ebony weapons, but the armor remains unchanged.

upper limit of ability

One of the biggest problems with high-level play is that certain spells become unusable. Illusion, Resurrection, Summon, Undead and Werewolf's (Fear Effect) only work on enemies up to a certain level (even with dual casting). This optional mod scales these spells to work on higher level enemies.

Zooming only starts at high levels, so it doesn't affect low-level playback at all.

Compatible with all Perk and Spell mods.

The Necromancy spell will begin scaling at level 35.

Illusion spells will start scaling at level 40.

Spells that raise the dead and Atronach Thrall will begin scaling at level 40.

The new Dremora Lord will replace the level 56 and 66 vanilla Lord. The level 66 version depends on the player level.

Werewolf Roar starts scaling at level 25.

For the listed Restoration, Raise Death, and Illusion spells, the scaling is calculated as (skill level) x 0.2, so if the skill level is 100, your spell will work on a creature 20 levels higher than the default. The maximum level of the werewolf's howl ability scales with player level starting at level 25 (1:1 scaling). This mod does not make any changes to existing perks, so it should be compatible with perks and spellcheck. This scaling is only turned on at high levels, so it doesn't affect low-level playback at all.

Weapons, armor, clothing and sundry repairs

WACCF changed the manifests of some NPCs and this patch makes these changes to HLE NPCs.
