ALWAYS MAKE A DIFFERENT SAVE AFTER INSTALLING A MOD JUST IN CASE IT BREAKS YOUR SAVE

This is a StandAlone fix/remake for a death alternative mod which I found to be the most stable in all death alternative mods out there.
ORIGINAL MOD : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34698?tab=description
Credits to the original Author for this wonderful mod and for giving permission.

I've always been frustrated with how the game feels, you never lose playing the game because you can always escape death by loading your save. there's just no punishment when you die and are forced to reload a save.
Hopefully this mod will help you feel a bit more immersion and a bit more challenged when dying. 

Biggest problem of the original mod was the "dragon break" never showing up in skills and you don't actually lose your dragon souls. I've fixed it here.
Bugs and Features that was meant to be working from the original mod are now working correctly and improved.
Some additions to balance the game and to make it work better.

FEATURES :

  • DEATH (Fixed and Adjusted)
  • Death won't kill you (that's a funny sentence) You will now respawn to whichever altar you last used. ( A popup will ask you if you want to set your spawn point when using altars) dying without respawn point will instead respawn you to the throat of the world.
  • Death means you lose all your dragon souls and everything in your inventory except quest items. and yes, you don't get to keep your gold too.  (dying only cost 1 dragon soul is an optional file)
  • You can recover all your items and dragon souls by activating the beam on your corpse. (Corpse Run)
  • Dying without a vacant Vessel will result in permanent current inventory lost.
  • DRAGON BREAK (Fixed and Adjusted)
  • Right after you install the mod you will be given a spell tome(Tome of Sacrifice) Use this to learn the "Dragon Break".
  • Dragon Break counts as a restoration skill.
  • Dragon Break will allow you to set your spawn point to your current location.
  • Using Dragon Break requires you to break 3 dragon souls or else it won't work.
  • INVENTORY PROTECTION (Adjusted)
  • Wearing or Having an Amulet of Arkay in your inventory will prevent losing all your items.
  • A CHANCE OF NEW LIFE (New Feature)
  •  Guards won't recognize you after you die. but they will still recognize you if you get too close or if you talk to the guards.
  •  Quest markers will show where you last died so you can recover you corpse quickly


ADJUSTMENTS AND FIXES I MADE FROM THE ORIGINAL MOD:
  • Dragons souls will now properly be removed from your character when you die. ( YOU RECOVER IT WITH YOUR BODY )
  • "Dragon Break" can now be found in restoration skills after you use the spell tome (Tome of Sacrifice) (dragon break never shows up in the old mod)
  • Changed a bit of descriptions and popups to fit the adjustments.
  • You now have to use 3 Dragon souls in order to use "Dragon Break"  (it used to be 1)
  • Combat stops when you die. Meaning NPC's won't be aggressive and won't search for you. ( live peacefully after you die, just don't talk to the guards or they will recognize you and probably kill you again)
  • You no longer need to wear an Amulet of Arkay to protect your Inventory after death (YOU JUST NEED TO HAVE IT IN YOUR INVENTORY)
1.1.0
  • -now supports 5 Vessel. (You can now die 5 times without permanent Item lost.)
  • -if you die without a vacant Vessel you will lose your current Items. (Recover one of your Corpse to regain a Vessel.)
  • -Each Vessel carries your previous inventory depending on when you died. (first Vessel will carry your first death inventory, second Vessel will carry your second death inventory and so on...)

NOTICE : YOU DO NOT NEED THE ORIGINAL MOD FOR THIS TO WORK
. THIS ALSO WORKS WITH EXISTING SAVES
please report bugs and feel free to suggest adjustments, I'll make optional files if requested.
Thanks~
