Recommended mods?

[aclyte]

Hi guys, planning to give this game a third chance (both other tries was couple of years ago and i lost my interest in second big elven city).
Are there any mods to make game more balanced/better?
I am planning to install mod to lower exp gain (to not get lvlcap too early) but probably there are some unofficial patches / balancing to make game more interesting for CRPG veteran?

Thanks)

you wont find the mods your looking for there are no overhaul mods no one has seemed to think it needed one. all your options are on the nexus besides this mod

Btw, do you recommend EXP inflation in IE mod?
I know that in base game you get max lvl too fast and game becomes too easy later on.
So, to compensate it i plan to use EXP inflation mod. It have 3 settings:
+25% EXP inflation
+50% EXP inflation
Quadriple inflation
With the last option you need twice the experience to get the last level.

Did you guys played with some of this EXP inflation settings? Which one to chose for the more hard gameplay? I plan to use the last one - so the first levels are only a little bit lower, but end levels are very long so you will not overlevel everything past midgame and can get some challenge even if you get all EXP possible.

it depends on difficulty on path of the dawmed you would want the mid to late game boost with dlc since act 3 is nuts with mind effecting debuffs since its filled with druids. you will with the dlc be over leveled 100% its down to personal preference i dont mind over leveling personally. ie mod has some nice settings doe like more campfires and everyone gets a pet slot. more campfires is only op early game but late game the resting bonus isnt nearly as good as a decent inn bonus

I plan to play veteran (hard afaik), not PoD. I hate savescumming and prefer lower difficulty, but living with consequences. I made 2 playthhroughs couple of years ago and hard was ok for me early game, but too easy lategame (afair) - i plan to compensate it with EXP inflation mod so i would not overlevel everything lategame (especially with additional exp from kaed-nua dungeons and white march DLCs).

Thanks for the comments mod - it looks good.

im not sure what mod your talken about but IEmod is the mod that contains an option to increase the total exp needed to level up.

this is IEmod

the only mod i could find with exp inflation as a name effected quest xp and such seems like a worse solution then IEmods

look at the screenshots on the mod page you will see the option its called nerfed xp table

iemod also has a great super slow mode option that can help in micro intensive situations. its ctrl and click the slow down button on the ui by default. also super speed can make backtracking and stealth searching for hidden items trivial.

also id recommend either normal mode or path of the dawmed i could be wrong but the stat changes from hard to potd mode dont change so your still gona have to deal with bloated stats. potd isnt as hard as i woulda thought but i do play hard games by default. im not the type of guy to like stat bloating but something about potd in poe feels good

Yes, i'm talking about nerfing xp table - as i understand, it raises amount of xp you need to get to next level.
So, i plan to chose +50% so i get cap only at game end, not in it's middle.

more so the last act then middle
