📋 About This Mod

Breakdown:

This legendary battle is the moment the Dragonborn confronts fate, to see if prophecies in the songs come true.

Instead, you end up battling the buggy cutscene which is so disappointing. I know there are mods that try to skip this, or tweak minor things in the hopes the cutscene works.

But you all know my passion for Dragons. I put in the time to analyze the quest properly;   its phases, stages, actions, packages, and scripts, to ensure my fixes endure in most load orders.

Problems Fixed:

- Gormlaith getting stuck and not "kill-moving" the first Dragon because Hakon is in the way (Or stuck under the dragon)

- Alduin not arriving because the base game uses a temporary and cursed reference that leaves him stuck as stone (on enable)

- Alduin not landing after shouting on the wall (because packages leave his brain scrambled)

- Alduin randomly going into bleedout because for some reason, he spawns with almost no health.

- Gormlaith not dying when she should because she's stuck under Alduin (tends to be caused by melee mods like MCO that move characters).

- Felldir getting stuck for the same reason and not starting the ritual to banish Alduin.

- Alduin not flying off after defeating him in present day, and completing the quest.

Important Notes

- If using a mod like Majestic Dragons (Glorious version), or a mod that makes the dragon very large (via it's skeleton mesh), Gormlaith may fail to kill-move the first dragon.

- Ensure the Actor records for Gormlaith and Felldir (their MQ206 records) give them bows and arrows. Some packages depend on it, to prevent them from running into melee and (potentially) getting stuck.

- The main esp is not safe to esl-fy since it modifies the quest and scene records. If this is a problem, and your savvy with Xedit, simply copy the records into a plugin you already have in your LO (that isn't esl).

- The patches are esl-fied, and you need at least one. This is because the main esp is the main framework, and the patches override the package records, and insert the appropriate shouts. For now, there are patches for: (HoY + LDP; aka my mods) or Vanilla.

- It's very important to install the mod before Alduin's Bane quest starts, so the aliases and data fill in properly.
