I'd prefer a mod that limited or removed dragon attacks on settlements altogether - it's great in theory, but the reality is that I'm constantly reminded how static the environment is, and how impotent the dragons are when a huge, flying, fire-breathing horror fails to seriously damage even the smallest hamlet. It doesn't help that Skyrim's "cities" are village-sized - huge cities would at least mean a dragon could be attacking the outskirts, or a more vulnerable district.
Still, villagers (and most guards!) fleeing, or at least not running towards the dragon, would make things a bit more bearable. I've lost track of a dragon after Shouting it to the ground before, only to turn up after a couple of town guards have already killed it by themselves. (Who then warn me about approaching a guard with a weapon drawn...)
