Draugr Are Dangerous
The Draugr in vanilla skyrim are comically weak. As you plunder your way through Skyrim you might have noticed some of the NPC dialogue where they comment on how scared of Draugr they are. Even some of the guards mention it. These dudes are fighting off dragons and vampires and werewolves and they're scared of a shambling corpse. I got tired of how easy the dungeons in the vanilla game were and I wanted to make Draugr a real threat. So I created this simple plugin for my personal use, and now I'm releasing it for you guys in case anyone wants to give it a go. The way the mod is designed you won't run into a lot of trouble during the early levels but once they higher level Draugr start to spawn you'll be in a for a treat.
Changes
Version 1.0
- Draugr have much higher resistances to all types of magic damage except fire. - Draugr take much less damage from weapons. - Draugr have a 25% weakness to fire. Scholars recommend flame enchantments and spells to safely eliminate Draugr.
Future Changes
I don't really plan on doing much to this mod beyond the release unless there's some cool stuff that is suggested and I've got some free time to kill when taking a break from working on other mods. If you've got an idea that you'd like to see implemented go ahead and leave a comment and I'll give it a look.
Compatibility
This mod only modifies the Draugr racial ability so it should be compatible with everything that doesn't make changes to that particular spell. If you do run into an issue, loading this mod last should clear it up. Also, I noticed that it wasn't taking effect on a save that was started before the mod was introduced. I'm not particularly sure why this is and it could be an isolated case. If you don't notice any difference in the difficulty of fighting a draugr, start a new game and see if that solves the issue.
