So, after a LONG time, I've got the CK open and am doing some tinkering with the Lore-friendly version of DD, something I may release as an optional side-update for those who have both Dawnguard & Dragonborn. I wanted to post this here to get some more opinions, these forums have proved to have a far more cerebral crowd than the Nexus. Anyways, here goes:
- Is there any legitimate reason that Serpentine Dragons only appear in Solstiem? You'll never see them on the main continent. This bugs me, I want to change it, and it's easily done.
- Conversely, should the rest of the normal & DLC dragons spawn on Solstiem? Or should I leave it alone to "feature" the Serpentine Dragon, something someone wouldn't always encounter if they had otherwise out-leveled the content?
- I'm considering "unleveling" the final tiers of dragons to include not only Legendary Dragons, but also Revered, Serpentine, and possibly Ancient Dragons as well. It gets *very* boring to always fight a Legendary Dragon in the extreme late game. I think some variety would be nice from an immersion standpoint.
- Thinking of making Alduin marginally more difficult. As of the current version he's basically a clone of a Legendary Dragon, but you still have the help of three other NPC's during the fight. He's still pretty with the help you have.
- Has ANYONE figured out how to add additional health/armor to Odahviing? He's a generic leveled actor, and I can get him to use custom attacks, but any attempts to make him anything but a glass cannon are for naught, he always spawns with about 1,600 health, give or take. Setting him to use different actors as a base gives him the proper spells/abilities, but his health is still crappy.
- I'm considering using some/most of Wrig675's http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20889/? textures and getting rid of some of the more awful one's that we've been using forever. It would just be a lot more work than the other changes.
A long time ago, for the 6.3.5 release (what everyone is currently using) of DD I reduced the stupid leveling curve required to encounter.. Now it looks like the following:
If I were to add Serpentine's to this list, I would just add them in with Revered's at level 54, as they're basically identical in stats outside of Drain Vitality. Just looking for some input.
