📋 About This Mod
Latest state of the project, v0. 0. 8 pre-beta release, now all in one package for easier install. Most known bugs have been fixed and a few user requests have been integrated into it.
The faulty NIF for the foot wraps has been fixed. The OBSE-check no longer fails when there is no OBSE present at all but instead complains about it exactly like it was always intended. The default voice is now Argonian for all dragon races. The missing string_var cleanups have been added, so there shouldn't be any savegame bloating anymore now. And last but not least finally the nasty upperbody slot-control bug pestering this and all intended future versions of my scripts for ages has been identified and fixed once and for all. By default you're still allowed to wear any chest item you want, but if you don't wear anything anymore, the proper chest item will be equipped, removing any Imperial skin or similar oddities and giving female dragons flat chests, and the forced unequipping for this slot can be turned on at every time, disallowing equipping of unfitting items entirely.
If flat chests on female dragons is unwanted, simply replace the file "meshes/characters/DrakeDragon/female/DragonUpperbody_dcpart.nif" with whatever default upperbody you prefer instead. As long as it is a TFF-based mesh it will work.
When updating from a previous version, like v0. 0. 7 pre-beta, it is highly recommended to do a clean save without the mod active first, or the critical script changes and fixes likely won't apply. To this purpose change your race via "showracemenu" in the console to something else than a dragon first, don't click the final button but open the console again so "save game" will no longer be grayed-out and save your new appearance while still in the race menu! This way when you load it now your stats won't have been reset, which would've happened by pressing the final button.

############# # DESCRIPTION #############
This is the race I'm working on since I started playing Oblivion. It's meant to resemble the race of the dragon from the stories of mine, which you might have stumbled across on my web page already. They're anthropomorphic in shape, walking upright on their hindlegs to better blend in with humans and other humanoids, and
