This is the "No Skill Challenges" version of Valiant - see the original mod page for more details.
Valiant is a "Vanilla-Plus" skill/perk overhaul for Starfield that improves the skill system with more meaningful, logical and impactful bonuses as well as moving skills across different tiers and trees. It unlocks new playstyles but still feels familiar, very few skills are left untouched.

This mod fixes the skills in Starfield and adds more info to their tooltips. It also improves a couple of underwhelming skills and removes skill challenges.
By Gothos25 • 1 year ago
This mod revamps Starfield's gameplay by removing all level scaling and adjusting combat for a challenging yet balanced experience.

MASSIVE IMPROVEMENTS TO OVER 38 of the Base Games Weapon & Armor Effects. Tried to keep them Balanced but made them A LOT of FUN!
