Improves the damage and speed of weapons added in the Dawnguard dlc.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This mod aims to improve the base attributes of the weapons added through the Dawnguard dlc. It includes changes to all dragonbone weapons and arrows, all crossbows and bolts, Auriel's Bow, Sunhallowed and Bloodcursed Elven Arrows, Harkon's sword, and all Dawnguard faction weapons. Harkon's Sword now has a much higher charge so you won't have to recharge it as often, and I also raised the damage done by the enchantment from 15 to 75. All armors added by the dlc now have higher armor ratings. Now also increase crossbow bolts speed and impact.
(Recommended for players above level 35 or who want over powered weapons)
Better Dawnguard DLC Weapons and Armor Low Level/Realistic Damage
This mod aims to raise the damage, and armor rating of all weapons and armor add through the DLC by a realistic and reasonable amount. This only changes the base attributes by 4-5 points and makes the Dragonbone weapons slightly better than their Daedric counterparts.
I also thought that Auriel's Bow being the legendary bow foretold about in the Elder Scrolls should be more powerful than the Dragonbone Bow so it now does 3 points more damage than than its Dragonbone counterpart. Harkon's Sword now has a much higher charge so you won't have to recharge it as often, but I did not change the damage done by the enchantment. Now also increases crossbow bolt speeds.
(Recommended for people who want more realistic changes to weapon attributes or lower level players.)
Faster Dragonbone Arrows
This mod contains 4 speed options for the Dragonbone Arrows: 25% faster, 50% faster, 75% faster, and 100% faster. Just choose which one you want and extract it to your Skyrim/Data folder and make sure to load after main file.
Let me know if you think anything is overpowered or needs to be changed.
