   Yip, that is how dragons must be I don't use requiem but I use dragon combat overhaul with that mod that adds more dragons. Its really difficult to deal with them, but this was intense.

      Thank you Josh! I can tell you that in Requiem, you don't even dare to go into Bleak Falls Barrow until level 20+ and when you do try to fight a dragon alone, it is VERY tough. Not too bad once you get your skills and resists up, but one thing that happens with Requiem is when your stamina gets low, so do all of your stats! Including defense, resists and damage output!

      I'll eventually give it a try, I do have mods that alter ai but I have always found requiem to be tedious to install and always shied away from it. I got to doing so when I saw a random dragon flying about, i think it was a blood dragon, full hp... fighting a giant and lose. And I was like... hm, yep. that needs to be fixed. and installed mods that enhance dragon combat, with dco, dragons sometimes come in 3, sometimes if they're injured they fall back to attack again, its insane. I enjoy them quite a bit
      
      But yes, eventually i might try out requiem.

      If you do and you want advice, I can make it pretty simple with a few mods + Requiem and you can do all the texturing, grass and bounce that you want.

      Is your offer still up for requiem Pat? Thinking of downloading it and giving it a try, since Bruma is up and running, its the perfect time to try a new game again. Hoping it works with frostfall and campfire. *fingers crossed*

      Yup! Get Requiem, the potions animated mod and if you want SIC, you will need complete crafting overhaul for it to work. Minor Arcana is a must have! For all the other stuff you like, use Requiem Patch Central for all your patching needs. It's a FOMOD so it's an all in one patcher to only use what you need.
      If you use a follower management mod like AFT, make sure to add it AFTER you get everything working and keep it at the bottom of your load order after Requiem for the indifferent.esp.
      PM me if you want to use face replacement mods like Bjin wives and such.

      Thank you so much Heaventhere. Before wearing Daedric armor, that dragon would have eaten me trying to fight it toe to toe. It was the first time I tried so I did the video in case the fight worked out and I'm glad I did. Dragon fights before this were all hiding and ranged attacks and a lot of potions!

   That invisible fus-ro-dah guy out of nowhere. Great video in your battle with the dragon.

      Thank you Joebe. The shouts seem to carry a long way and there must have been 3 of the Draman. I think one was killed by the soldiers and my summoned daedra.

   Good show, Patrick!
   
   Skyrim Immersive Creatures truly changes things around when it comes to monsters. The first time I faced the Draman I was utterly impressed, so I simply ran forwards to get a closer look when I was shouted to the ground!

      Hehehe, thank you Rick. I knew it was Draman, but I could not figure out where the heck they were! I was fighting a dragon after all. I love the extra challenge and with the unpaused menus, oh boy!

      I'm glad you liked it! Thank you karoshi81. Requiem is very challenging, but once you experience how it handles game play, there is no turning back.

   That was some interesting play. Menus are a little different, I think. Same function though. It looks as though Requiem does much more to a game than I thought.

      Thank you sir! Going toe to toe with a dragon is not even possible until your defense is over 1200. I'm usually hiding behind a rock or tree and shooting poisoned arrows! My menus are all from SkyUI and I use Immersive HUD to keep most everything off of my screen. I like not having the enemy health bars and not seeing the red dots on the compass so I must actually find the enemies.
      Requiem does change a ton of things in the game. If you'd like to see all it does, go to the mod page and download the Players Handbook. It covers all the changes really good.
