V1.0 - Intial Release

======================
Description
======================

When you are killed by a dragon/Alduin/Miraak, the resulting death cutscene will show your soul being absorbed by said dragon, in a similar fashion to the standard Dragonborn-absorbs-dragon-soul type VFX.
Now comes with fire and disintegrating effects, where your body will burn away, leaving a skeleton behind.

Simple as that.

======================
Notes
======================

1.By default, this mod extends the death cutscene (when being killed by a dragon) to 25 seconds.
But if you have Death Cam Duration Options installed, my mod will not override that (ie. time will be 60 seconds or whatever you set in that mod).

2. V1.3 has support for beast races (elf, orc, khajiit and argonian) as well as human. Unfortunately this doesn't work with custom races (the skeleton will be human).

=======================
Upgrading
=======================

1. Uncheck esp.
2. Load game and save (wait for a hour or so)
3. Overwite the old version with my new version
4. Check esp, and load that save.

Bugs
======================

1. You might experience a slight, slight drop in FPS at particular times when this effect are being played, but most systems should handle it fine.
If you have a severe drop in FPS however, let me know, and I'll fix it for you.

=====================
Compatibility
=====================

This modifies the equip sounds in the AudioSFX sound category, but I have tried to maintain compatibility.
If you notice that the equip sound is disabled/enabled when equipping something, please report them to me with any sound affecting mods, and I'll fix it ASAP.

Other issues not mentioned in BUGS, please report them to me and I'll try to fix ASAP as well.
