Short description
This mod makes the Draugr more like "classical" zombies by changing their look, sound and behavior.

Please note that the mod isn't meant to be particularily lore-friendly or anything like that. The mod just makes it a bit more entertaining to fight them and a bit more satisfying to kill them, in my opinion.

My other mods



Available on Steam Workshop! (Do not use if you want a non-English version or having choices besides the default)

Description
Several modifications have been done to the Draugr to make them more like the more "classical" zombies. This includes new sounds, slightly modified models, new textures and new stats. To satisfy both camps regarding the matter of slow vs. fast zombies I've chosen to make some of them extremely quick, but at the same time with lowered health to compensate. The opposite has been done to some of the more powerful Draugr, they are now very slow, but has more health. But don't think that you can just easily take them out from a distance, many do have shouts and spells.

The new textures gives their skin a greenish and bluish skin color, as well as a bit brighter. On top of that, they now have blood stains on their skin, armor and clothes. The modifications done to the models is mostly just removing some armor pieces to make them "show more skin". None of the added sounds are made by me. They were all found here. I'm fairly certain that they are all done by Mike Koenig, so all credit goes to him. They will now for example cry out "braaaaaaiiinns" every now and then.
