I've played SoA&ToB twice now. To try to make it somewhat more difficult I want to spice things up without cheating etc etc.I've already downloaded the improved bhaalspawn for ToB frim baldurdash

What mods and changes you guys recommend?

Welcome to boards O' Magick

You could try the Darkest Day, but its a rather big thing to download and its a bit buggy :(
Lowering your stats using Shadow Keeper could be interesting?

Welcome :)

You could try the Tortured Souls Mod, which is more characters, more quests, and romances. Or the Soulafein mod.

Making youself weaker probably won't make the game better, it's cooler when both sides have cataclysmic powers. There should be a difficulty mod in the download section that makes all the bosses WAY tougher. Or you could try the mission mod, it was pretty cool.

You may (well probably) have tried this already but you could put the difficulty level on insanely hard (or what ever the most difficult setting is)

:yot: Does anyone happen to know if there is any mod that would make the cost of shop items scale with the difficulty?

Just surf around SP and pick all the interesting looking ones.

Ascension mod is cool, better AI and longer fights.

Does anyone happen to know if there is any mod that would make the cost of shop items scale with the difficulty?None currently, and despite how cool that sounds, it would be tough to make due to the amount of coding involved.

Not really. You'd just need separate STO files for each difficulty level, and have the appropriate one started via StartStore() after a Difficulty() check.
