An interesting Starfield AI mod has been released for PC players wanting a more difficult and harder experience.
There are some players who find Bethesda’s most recent title to be a tad too easy. For those select few, modder ‘BasedGodAce’ has released a new Starfield enemy AI mod called ‘PEAK’ that overhauls enemy AI. At the moment of writing, this mod comes in two versions – a vanilla version with the traditional compass and stealth meter, and a version that ditches those two elements to increase difficulty further. We’ve included the key features of this enemy AI mod below:
- Experience enhanced enemy teamwork, flank maneuvers while incorporating distractions, and reduced unproductive chatter for a more immersive gameplay
- A stealth system is included for this combat experience
- Improved enemy memory retention
- Increased AI difficulty
- Encounter enemy NPCs that actually provide resistance compared to what you’re used to
PC players wanting to try this mod can download it from Nexusmods here. Be sure to follow the installation instructions that the modder has provided. Those interested in modding might also want to try this mod that improves reflections quality. There’s also an immersive survival mod called ‘Starvival’.
Starfield is available globally now for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Here’s what we wrote about Bethesda’s sci-fi action RPG in our launch review:
“From a technical standpoint, Starfield delivers in a rather surprising way. Gone and far are the days of broken Bethesda titles littered with all sorts of bugs, as the game has got to be the least buggy game ever made by the developer, as promised before release. While there are a few bugs, it’s only natural for a game with this sort of scope, and they are minor and mostly inconsequential. We’re talking about stuff like the camera not functioning properly during dialogues or the occasional enemy freezing in its tracks for a few seconds or wonky physics, so nothing that truly impacts the experience. The multiple delays, the smaller number of target platforms, and Microsoft’s help allowed Bethesda to polish its title like never before.”
