because I've encountered game breaking issues so many times that I prefer to correct bugs myself now... And yes I only have the unofficial patches, no more mods on a clean install so YES, its the unofficial patches the cause of the problem...
11 years late lol but I don't like the changes it makes and it does also a worse variant of drain vitality shout bug happened to me once with the unoffical patches installed anyways but that was in special edition.
Since I edit my Skyrim game through the Creation Kit myself, I don't usually like to use the huge "Unofficial" patches because they can conflict with my individual edits. And I don't want to bother TES5Editing my mod and the Unofficial patches to find those conflicts.
Thanks to mod authors like you, having light-weight, individual bug fixes is still important, despite people claiming they're 'obsolete' due to the Unofficial patches.
Apparently, this was fixed in the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch, making this mod mostly obsolete.
It would be nice to mention it in the description, as this mod would only be interesting for those who do not want the whole UDGP or those who are having issues with it.
@Ign0tus You learn Drain Vitality words in Dawnguard locations only. When you learn the bugged word, you won't learn the correct word.
> I believe I learned a word for Marked for Death at Autumnwatch Tower, then I learned a word for Drain Vitality at Arcwind Point. You didn't. You will get the bugged Drain Vitality word in the exact same moment when you get the new Marked for Death word.
Bugged version won't block you from getting the correct one when you follow the Dawnguard questline, there is no need to add it via console. This plugin is very simple, it won't conflict with unofficial patches. Anyway, if you don't want to play with this mod constantly, you can clean you bugged shouts when get all "marked for dead" words with a console or with this plugin (you can remove the plugin after the cleaning operation).
I have the unofficial Dawnguard, Dragonborn, Hearthfire, and Skyrim patches, and I still encountered this bug. I believe I learned a word for Marked for Death at Autumnwatch Tower, then I learned a word for Drain Vitality at Arcwind Point. The word I got for Drain Vitality was Stamina, but the description said it drains 1 pt of health, stamina, and magicka for 20s with a recharge of 12. This sounds like the bugged version. So I removed it via the console per the instructions at either wikia or uesp, don't recall which. That worked, but left me with none of the shout learned. So I tried adding the correct version based on the IDs at uesp, but they wouldn't work. I did -help "drain vitality" 0- at the console and none of the IDs it shows match the ones at uesp. So I added one of those from the console help command. I now have the word Stamina again, but now it says it drains 5 health/stamina/magicka for 20s with recharge of 12. That's supposedly incorrect too according to the description at uesp and wikia. This whole thing is a mess. I'm afraid to use this mod with the unofficial patches. The shout doesn't sound that great anyway, so I guess I'll just press on as long as I am still able to learn Marked for Death, which IS a good shout.
