Minding my own business - traveling along the road outside Solitude on my horse. It's dark out. Dragon lands right behind me and I scream so loud I wake everyone up. 10/10 amazing.
First Off I love this mod it makes everything about dragons much more fun I use it with DD and EMD and beat Alduin in single combat (Do I get my gold star?) however I also have a mod that makes Aldin a follower after he has been slain (NOT A SUMMON) its completely compatible and the AI from DCO and buffs from DD and EMD stat wise are there and DCO loads his Alduin AI however He doesn't use many of his special abilities except his meteor shout I am wondering if it is possible for me to "Enable" everything he normally has when you fight the one In Sovngarde (ALL Limit Breaks and Abilities he can use in this fight) I dont care if some of those would damage me I just want to know if its something I can do. (Or if its just a weird Skyrim sorcery thing that makes him unable to use these abilities.) (I can provide a link to the mod if someone asks) What I am asking is how I can for this Alduin to use the same abilities as the one in Sovngarde or Trick DCO into making him use them. Anyhow Thank you for this excellent mod.
I'm planning to load up DCO in my order, but have some questions when I look it up in TES5Edit.
I have VioLens and DCO also changes KillMoveDragonRoot idle animation. Should I let Violens override DCO's changes, or the other way round? (I know LOOT can sort the load order but since I'm doing this mid-playthrough with a Patchus Maximus esp, I need to make sure other changes are conserved)
In DCO's Race, both AlduinRace and UndeadDragonRace uses the original DragonBodyPartData, not DLC2DragonBodyPartData. Any particular reason? I searched the posts and appears to be of no consequence since DLC2DragonBodyPartData is probably only crucial for dragon-riding, and these two race entries aren't in-game rideable anyway.
There are so many great things about this mod. The new flight patterns, the unpredictability and (the reason I originally installed this mod) that they drop from the sky where they are when I kill them in flight. I've always hated when they flew off and I'd have to spend 20min searching for the body.
I just had what could have been an epic battle near the farm just outside the south-western gate of Riften. I'm running DD as well so got 2 dragons comin at once. It was at night and I also have the Skysight - Simply Bigger Trees mod installed so visibility was low. I managed to get a few shots in, all was going well. Then s#*! hit the fan. (The kind that made me uninstall this, what could have been, amazing mod) One of them landed which knocked me down. No probs, get back up and keep trying right? WRONG! The other started hitting me with some hardcore electric/lightning attack that knocked me back again. Then he just kept advancing on me and hitting me with this attack again and again, literally knocking me from the farm to the bridge leading to Goldenglow. Obviously I didn't survive.
Making the dragons of Skyrim more of a challenge is all cool with me but not standing a chance because their knock-back/down ability is way too damn high just ruins the fun.
Just so you know, the shock attack dragon is from Deadly Dragons, not DCO. The knockback is DCO. You can block the knockback. I would have written that up as an excellent story of why this mod is so awesome in conjunction with DD, but to each their own.
Not trying to tell you how to play, but.....Apollodown meant for you to block when a dragon's physics gets close to you as to simulate you bracing for a literal tank flying past your freakin head or landing next to you. It was a genius creation and you should try to play how it was intended instead of crying because you can't stand up straight.
To start, I am well aware of Apollodown's intentions and I am also very capable of standing up straight thank you very much. What I was "crying" about is that once I was down I was not given the opportunity to get back up in order to block. I was just sent ragdolling down the road in an endless barrage of shock attacks.
On a different topic; If you are a youth I am saddened but not surprised by your reply. However, if you are an adult, I would suggest you find a more grown-up way of giving your opinion rather then just throwing insults. (I would recommend reading padawanjedi's comment. Though they disagreed with me, no insult was given when voicing his/her point of view)
To padawanjedi;
I do know that the shock dragon is from DD, that the knockback is from DCO and that it was intended that these attacks are meant to be blocked. I always read the info provided for the mods I download so I know what to expect. It is clear we have quite different opinions on if this was a good or bad scenario but I thank you for sharing your views and like you said, "to each their own".
Played with DCO + DD combo for years now. Only just now remembered to endorse..... Also played most of the game with soul curse, forgetting i could use DD to empty them.
June 6: hard drive dies. September 20: brand new shiny SSD! Rebuild of modded Skyrim commences. September 27: modding complete, play-testing for stability commences. Multiple throwaway characters subjected to Live Another Life's 'left for dead' scenario. September 29, 3:32 a.m.: jolted awake by realization DCO has been forgotten. How? How did I forget this mod? Since other members of the household wouldn't appreciate my getting on the computer at 4 a.m., I got my Kindle and read the entire description. Do I get a gold star? Or has that been negated by my forgetting DCO in the first place?
Has anyone had any experiences of crashing immediately after killing Alduin? I don't know if my problem is this mod or if anyone has found someone with the same problem, but does anyone know of any obvious conflicts that could be causing this?
I'm wondering about this as well. This does look like an amazing mod, but I doubt my laptop would be able to handle the game very well if I installed the full thing. (When I finally manage to get a better computer, on the other hand...)
