Details:
Boost Dawnguard reward items to roughly Daedric quality, add the missing helm, make items upgradeable.
I finished Dawnguard, and in the end none of the items I worked so hard to get were better than items already in my inventory. I feel this is a recurring design issue with Bethesda products which may be intentional. The risk vs. reward balance is not justifiable. In this case the rewards given to the player to not justify the larger risk taken to acquire them. The aim of this mod is to fix the risk/reward balance issues in Dawnguard.
There are a few mods on the nexus that already address this issue. These mods were good, but I wanted one mod to fix all of the final reward items for the various quests.
