2. About this mod

************************************************************

This mod makes dragons much tougher and stronger than before. This mod is for people that think that vanilla dragons are a bit weak, and are looking for more challenge.

List of changes:

- All dragons now have 30% resist to damage, 15% resist to shock and 50% resist to poison

- Now dragons will use their Unrelenting Force shout that they already had in their spells list, but somehow they never used it.

- Some dragons now have more shouts:
*Frost dragon has weak version of Ice Form
*Elder and Ancient dragons have Dismaying shout and Ancients also have Disarm shout.

- Dragons now have perks that fit their type. eg dragons that use fire breaths have Augmented Flames lvl.1 and Intense Flames perks.

- First class dragon is a little bit stronger now (not much though).

- Named dragons now have unique appeareance. They also have new shouts and abilities. But the first dragon you fight (The one in the Whiterun's quest) has no changes at all, because i think that is just a tutorial dragon.

- Dragons now have more variety in their loot. Human/animal remains, clothing and jewerly. Nothing major.

- AI of the dragons has been changed. Now they will more likely stay in the air attacking you and their enemies. They still have a small chance (24%) to land on the ground.

- Dragons level up with the player now.

- Alduin himself is now MUCH STRONGER than before. Here are changes:

*More powerfull leveled shouts. No new shouts
*Melee damage is also leveled
*Alduin's 50% resist to all damage sources has been fixed
*Now he doesn't have any weakness against frost attacks
*During the Dragonslayer quest, he has low health regeneration ability

6. Bugs

************************************************************

There is a bug with the ones that have downloaded this on steam. You may notice that the named dragons are all purple. The reason the dragons are purple is because skyrim isn't registering bsa files properly or something like that.
If you want to fix this, download this mod in Skyrim Nexus or in Planet Elder Scrolls.

Bethesda for this masterpiece game.

You may not upload this mod anywhere else, but if you plan to use any part of this mod in your own mods, you have to ask permission from me.

The changes made by your mod sound really good, I'll be using it when I install Skyrim again, I especially like the hardcoe Alduin, I wonder if you could scale his physical size too, not a huge amount, just enough to make him noticeably bigger than other dragons

*edit*

The named dragons could also get some extra buffing to make them feel more like boss encounters.

Sounds great. When i am done being out n about Ill download this! Could the disarm shouts be optional though? I really do not want to scrounge around for my weapon...

i am guessing running this wiith deadly dragons is not advised?

Just for my curiosity, what do you people say about these changes i've made:

- Dragon scales & dragon bones weight 1.5 instead of 15
- Dragons now have a smaller chance to land on the ground. They can sill be dragonrended though
- Named dragons now have new stats and abilities
- Dragons now have more more loot. Armor, weapons, clothes etc... (presumably from the victims they have eaten). Not hight leveled stuff though.

Edit:

- Dragons now have more variety in their loot. Clothes, jewels, other animal parts etc...

Just for my curiosity, what do you people say about these changes i've made

But my questions still stand: Why are Dragon parts now lighter?

I'm curious...why all vanilla dragons had Unrelenting Shout in their shout database but were unable to use it?
