ModFinder VS CombatRelief

If you don't want to have to deal with updating your mods manually, try ModFinder.

Are you using ModFinder? If not, try it out, it helps automate the process.

ModFinder - Use this for WOTR for all your major mods. Easier to keep track

If you don't know, you can find recent mod developments in #mod-updates on the Discord server. ModFinder indexes GitHub mods, except it only runs on Windows, but you can read through its manifest.

Ahem

Take this, you'll need it

First of all if you're playing on PC you can install Tabletop Tweaks suite (Core, Base and Mythic Rework) mods that allows you to always one hand weapons to keep off-hand free. Modfinder is probably the simplest way to do it.

Right behind them are VisualAdjustments2, BubbleTweak (mostly for the animation-speed tweaks), Weapon Focus Plus (especially for Shifter or any other natural-attack-focused build, makes them sooo much better when you only need one set of feats), and Enduring Rework (finally makes Enduring Spells useful on its own and not just a "feat tax" you pay on your way to Greater Enduring Spells). Add Combat Relief if you hate crusade management but don't want to set it to Auto; not using it myself but other Redditors said it still works.

I use the updated version you can find here. It works well after newest patches.

Toy Box has various cheats like giving yourself tons of resources. Combat Relief has more options but hasn't been updated since November: no idea if it still works with latest patch.

Use this Mod instead.

As soon as you're tired of doing Crusade mode, do whatever you feel like to get through it. It doesn't get any more interesting later on. If you're open to mods, https://github.com/alterasc/CombatRelief negates all the battles.

I can't promise these all work with the latest patch (v2.1 beta) but: You can use Toybox to cheat. Bubble Buffs takes a while to setup but automates pre-combat buffing. The Combat Relief mod has an option to always skip random encounters.

Make sure you're using this version of Combat Relief; the original mod hasn't been updated in a year.
