  • Breath of the Wild already has a hidden Experience point system built into it that is responsible for leveling up the enemies and weapons...but what if this was enhanced to work for the player as well?? I hope you guys enjoy this overview to the Breath of the Wild RPG project!!

    A few additional notes about the mod:
    1) Monster Chests now respawn under blood moons, which makes it possible to get additional orbs post doing all the shrines
    2) Kiltons shop now contains all limited weapons in the game (Kite shield, forest dweller sword, etc) so you’re still able to get them even if all the base ones break!
    3) In a lot of RPG’s, you can wait to level up your character right when you hit low health to get a full hp restore. This can be fully replicated in this mod, as you only level up when you bring up the visualizer!! (Heart container restores all health, Stamina vessel restores all stamina)
    Let me know if you have any other questions about it, and I hope you enjoy!! :)

  • @bvoyelr
    @bvoyelr Рік тому +21

    Looks really cool. I'm wondering if levelling right there on the spot was the best call. On the one hand it lends legitimacy to the levelling system -- "this is an important moment!" -- but on the other hand, being interrupted with a levelup in the middle of a fight or something seems weird. Personally, I think I'd have done the Oblivion thing. "You feel stronger. Go pray at a Goddess Statue to receive a blessing." Then when you do, you can then cash in your levels.
    But it could go either way. Now I just need to learn how to play a modded version of Breath of the Wild...

    • @Croton
      @Croton  Рік тому +20

      That's why a player controls when they get to level up! It only happens when the XP visualizer is called, so it won't interrupt combat unless you want it to

    I like this idea a lot and it would be cool if it was in tears of the kingdom. I know its not possible modding but maybe instead of a shop its a skill tree that lets you use spirit orbs to basically upgrade link like "Sword damage +10%", "Stamina lose from sprinting decreased", or "Gliding speed increased by 25%". Sounds cool to me.

And say that isn’t the case and these are seeds u can only get from the statue. Considering there’s a limited amount of spirit orbs ingame, what if u spend them all on every but the seeds? Will u just not be able to get them?

    • @Croton
      @Croton  Рік тому +2

      There's still 900 seeds in the wild! The ones in the shop are just extras, as korok seeds work more as a currency rather than a collectable
      Also I mentioned in the pinned comment, that the monster chests are respawnable via blood moon now - so you still can get occasional orbs now even after doing all shrines!

    Weapon and Shield Skill levels:
    1 = -10% durability decrease per hit
    2 = -20% durability decrease per hit
    ...
    9 = -90% durability decrease per hit
    10 = -95% (or -99 or -100%) durability decrease per hit

I can see why this isn’t how the base game was developed though, as it’s counter intuitive to force players to fight in a game about exploration, but this is a great modification.
    Also, what happens to the test of strength shrines in this mod? One thought I had that could make them more useful is since they replenish every blood moon, maybe their spirit orbs do too?
