The Dragon Cult - A Draugr Overhaul requires a new game in order to function properly.


In The Dragon Cult, Draugr retain their vanilla race ability, with a few additions and adjustments.

Draugr - 50% Frost Resistance, 100% Poison Resistance, 100% Disease Resistance
Hallowed Draugr - 50% Frost Resistance, 100% Poison Resistance, 100% Disease Resistance, 25% Weakness to Magic
Cannibal Draugr - 50% Frost Resistance, 100% Poison Resistance, 100% Disease Resistance, 25% Increased Damage

Draugr also benefit from the Armor Rating given by their Ancient Nord equipment, stronger as their level increases.

In addition, Draugr variety has been expanded with a lot of new classes, and all of them have a hand-picked selection of perks and spells, to be a continuous threat for the player.

Encounters have been changed to be random at each playthrough, to ensure a different experience each time you go into a dungeon. Additionally, Generic Dragon Priests no longer spawn.

Lv. 1 - Thrall
Lv. 4 - Draugr
Lv. 12 - Archer, Berserk, Warlock, Warrior, Soldier, Sentinel, Wight, Overlord, Scourge
Lv. 20 - Hunter, Hulking, Sorcerer, Bane, Savage, Knight, Executioner, Deathlord, Champion
Lv. 32 - Hunter, Hulking, Sorcerer, Bane, Savage, Knight, Executioner, Deathlord, Champion, Shaman, Hero
Lv. 40 - Hunter, Hulking, Sorcerer, Bane, Savage, Knight, Executioner, Deathlord, Champion, Shaman, Hero, Firekeeper, Icereaver, Stormlord

Draugr, excluding a few classes, no longer use Shouts. Draugr that can use them only have access to Elemental Fury and Unrelenting Force, which no longer pushes actors away.

Notes
  • Red Eagle appearance has been changed to a Skeleton, to be accurate with lore.
  • Draugr no longer use enchanted Ancient Nordic weapons, and Iron Shield has been replaced with Ancient Nord Shield.

Soft Requirements

These are some soft requirement mods to make the experience with The Dragon Cult more enjoyable.

Compatibility

The Dragon Cult is highly compatible with any mod that doesn’t directly edit draugr spawn references, but still can’t be combined with other draugr overhauls, and requires a patch for mods that add more draugr spawns.
Integration plugins to use alongside SimonMagus’ overhauls and Ancient Nord Stalhrim are provided in the installer.
