About this mod
The usual concentrative fire and frost breath functionality, but with a bit more.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
While I liked the idea, I was never quite happy with how the functionality worked in other mods. I had three major gripes:
- More than just the shout effects were touched.
- Incompatibility with the vanilla "Fire Within" effect.
- Incompatibility with the Dragonborn DLC black book rewards.
So I set out to implement this game-play change with the above points in mind. This makes the following changes to the shouts:
Second Word
Sends out a ball projectile of fire/frost that reaches vast distances and explodes on impact. Actors within range of the explosion all get damaged.
Third Word
Send out a spout of fire/frost like a true dovah! Causes damage in a concentrated cone.
Things to note
- Don't use the second or third word on Paarthurnax. This will make him aggressive. The first word effect is untouched, and can be safely used to progress the quest.
- Other actors get the modified shout too. So beware Draugr with this shouts, for they can annihilate you. Or get buffed up on resist fire/frost! I didn't want to touch their shouts to avoid a compatibility nightmare.
- This is just and ESP flagged as an ESL, so it won't take a load order slot!
Recommended mods
- Dragonborn Ascendant SSE - Balances other shouts really nicely IMO. Also gives Draugr their own fire/frost. It touches on player's fire/frost shouts as well, so load my mod second to get the concentrative effects.
- Rotmulaag - Immersive Meditations on the Words of Power - Role-play as a disciple of Paarthurnax and mediate on many more words of power. Thus unlocking many more great effects! Checked that Rotmulaag's "Fo" passive power affects the modified shouts.
