Balance in the Force Balance in the force is a gameplay overhaul mod that provides a streamlined leveling experience that’s more in line with its sequel with some important departures. I've rebalanced the base weapon types and heavily increased the damage for ranged weapons. Not only does this keep ranged builds competitive with melee builds but it also makes the enemies more difficult. Balance in the Force also contains a number of quality-of-life features. For example, all of the classes have been modernized to KotOR 2’s feat, force power, and attack bonus progression. Persuade is a class skill for the main character regardless of starting class. The Force Power and Alignment system gets an important revision. All characters have functional background feats that help to deepen the immersive roleplaying experience. There are also several optional patches included that revert some of the more controversial changes made by this mod to allow for a more customized experience. Full Change List Optional Patches Compatibility Balance in the Force was expressly designed to be compatible with the KOTOR 1 Community Patch. The community patch is a compilation of new and previous community driven bug fixes. Another important mod is Kotor1 - Improved AI. It changes enemy and npc behaviors to actually use their upgraded powers, buffs, feats at their highest levels. It makes them apply buffs and use shields more frequently. Enemies will use lightsaber throw, force jump, and force breach now. I highly recommend both of these mods. BitF should be compatible with all of the graphics mods as well as long as they don't also modify gameplay elements. BitF is designed to be its own gameplay ecosystem so other gameplay mods aren't recommended and most likely aren't even compatible. You're welcome to try them at your own risk. I can't promise you that things will work correctly. The proper patching order for mods involving BitF is as follows: 1. KOTOR 1 Community Patch 2. Balance in the Force 3. Any optional BitF patches 4. Kotor1 - Improved AI 5. Any other mods. Credits Below is a list of the people whose tools or works were included with this mod. Timbo: Balance in the Force mod author.

With BitF's initial framework complete, I've moved ahead to rebalancing equipment. I started out with robes and armor and I have some ideas I'd like discuss with anyone interested. I have two ideas I'm tossing around in my head. 1. I'd like to make certain pieces of equipment like Exar Kun and Darth Bandon's armors compatible with all force powers 2. I'd like to make Robes function like regular armor in that they provide a proper defense score rather than just the bonus that gets capped at +10. One of the chief reasons for the second reason is that it's so extraordinarily easy to cap that bonus that powers like Aura/Shield/Armor are totally unnecessary. To this end I've also removed Knight and Master Speed. Problems: 1. These two ideas make each other redundant. 2. An armor that provides 8 AC and let's you cast supercedes all but the latest game robes. So the armor itself will have to be brought down to 4 or 5 AC max. Ideas: 1. The unique robes cap at 3 AC and the armors cap at 4 or 5 AC. 2. The robes give that Force Regen bonus that they give in TSL. Does anyone have any criticisms, suggestions, or big ideas I should consider regarding armor?
