More Enemies (x3)  

Public Service Announcement

On 04 May 2023 WB Games released an official patch which made lots of changes to the game's SQL database. I have incorporated these into v1.1.0 of this mod, and (as of 07 May 2023) Mod Merger has been updated to reflect the changes made by the patch so you can now merge v1.1.0 with other SQL mods! Happy days! If this is the only SQL mod that you use, please update to version 1.1.0. If you use Mod Merger to merge this mod with other SQL mods then you don't need to update it, but you must update Mod Merger to v0.12 and re-merge your mods to incorporate the 04 May 2023 changes.

Introduction

Once you get used to the combat system in Hogwarts Legacy it can become a little too easy to defeat your enemies. If you add in potions, deadly plants and gear perks... you become quite significantly overpowered compared to your foes. There are several mods out there that seek to address this by making enemies more aggressive or giving them more health. This mod takes the simpler approach of merely increasing the number of enemy NPC's, though you could merge this mod with one of my "Tougher Enemies" mods if you want to make things really interesting! 😎

In this mod I have increased the number of enemy NPC's by 3 on average, but it can actually vary from 2X to 4X. (In the game you often encounter the exact same number of enemies whenever you pass through a certain location. I've changed that to add a little variety.)

Unfortunately this mod will only affect enemies that spawn "in the wild". The settings for enemies in bandit camps and spider nests are hidden inside the game and can't be changed very easily. I might have a go at doing that eventually, but I'd have to learn all about Blueprints and the Unreal Engine which looks quite time-consuming. If anyone would like to tell me roughly how to do it I'd be happy to give it a shot!
