I'm considering making this mod for three reasons well once the construction kit is out: One, more creatures/enemies more interesting experience. Primarily though... This is intended to make the game more challenging without nerfing your stats or damage, a more challenging game, but bigger numbers everywhere instead of reducing numbers, also to make exploring much more frightening/atmospheric with extreme power disparities all over the game yet still challenging. And of course... Low level characters will have an extremely difficult time, having to run away a lot, and struggling with it too in their quest for greater power. Do you WANT to be FORCED to ensure your character is powerful enough just to do things that used to seem relatively trivial?? That's exactly what this mod is for. The type of characters that used to seem so overpowered in vanilla Skyrim, will now be struggling to survive or at least run away with a lot of new rare spawns when they are encountered. Formerly uber characters will now be lucky to struggle, characters who never were uber in vanilla Skyrim? Well they'll likely be annihilated. Hopefully if I balance this mod right anyways.

Okay so... Ideas of new enemies. Hopefully with their own spawning frequencies. While I have no experience with Skyrim's textures yet, in theory I should easily be able to make a few new unique looking enemies.

I'm 99% positive I can make a pretty authentic looking golden saint. Simply get armor that looks holy (some in game armor very much has that holy look going on), retexture it gold, get a shield, put a high elf female in it, make the armor unlootable then pretty much instant golden saint. The new dragons, and the mammoths, I'm hoping I can alter some already similar textures in-game to make it work/not look extremely bad, no guarantees though. I can retexture (at least I did in Fallout NV) to a limited degree I can't remodel at all though.

I'm hoping I can also give them all a spawn chance, and likely spawn locations. I think I'd have the vampire ancients randomly spawn in bandit camps/necromancer caves, and sometimes the ancient would already be killing the occupants inside as soon as the player came in. The dremora/golden saints would appear near daedric shrines/sometimes around places with lots of magical stuff going on.

Spawn chance 1 in 60 Quarra Vampire Ancient: 1300 hp, 100 Magicka, melee damage 350, casts a spell that absorbs 20 hp per second though goes out of magicka fast, for the first 60 seconds hits the player for 400-800 damage.

Spawn chance 1 in 60 Berne Vampire Ancient: 980 hp, 100 Magicka, 600 melee damage, casts a cloak that absorbs 10 stamina per second for 240 seconds, casts a spell that absorbs 20 stamina per second, and for 60 seconds runs 20% faster than the player can

So... Anyways thoughts on this idea? What about spawning rates? Are they not powerful enough? Too powerful? Just right? Has anyone wanted a mod like this?
