NOTICE: As of 1/28/20, the Legendary Edition version of this mod will no longer be supported. The reason being that I'm of the modding philosophy where one creates mods for their own purposes, and seeing that I'm going to be playing the Special Edition of Skyrim, it doesn't make sense for me to upkeep on two versions of the same mod. Version 2.4 is still perfectly playable, nonetheless.

Ever got to the end of a dungeon and have been disappointed that almost every unique, named draugr boss has the same appearance? Never thought it made sense for ages old draugr to be shambling about with pristine newer iron shields? Briraka's Draugr Overhaul is just what you need, my friend.

Almost every named draugr boss has been given a more unique appearance, both in accordance with the lore provided in game and to provide general diversity in draugr boss looks, while sticking to mostly vanilla sensibilities. Regular draugr now carry rusted iron shields that better match their armor, higher level draugr use stahlrim equipment instead of ebony, and the dented iron shield found on hulking draugr introduced in the Dragonborn DLC now has it's own unique texture and mesh(courtesy of Gojirex's Actually Dented Dented Iron Shield).

If you are upgrading from the 1.0 version, you MUST start a new game, or else thing won't work as intended.
