📋 About This Mod

Serio’s Enhanced Dragons Redone

Serio’s Enhanced Dragons Redone aims to make dragon battles in Skyrim more intense by adding stat tweaks, AI enhancements, multi-dragon fights, boss dragons, and new powerful shouts. The mod is built with compatibility in mind to work alongside other dragon mods. Most of the mod’s features can be configured via SkyUI’s MCM (SKSE required).

  • []AI Enhancements: Dragons are now faster, their attack patterns are more random, they remain on the ground so long as it is advantageous, and they stay closer to the player.

    []Stat Tweaks: Dragons have increased health, damage/magic resistance, and attack/shout damage. (MCM)

    []Stagger Poise: Dragons are now resistant to stagger depending on their health. (MCM)

    []Reinforcements: Dragons can now call up to 2 additional dragons to join the fight. (MCM)

    []New Shouts: Dragons are now able to use a larger arsenal of shouts depending on their boss type or player configuration. (MCM)

    []Boss Dragons: There are 3 tiers of boss dragons. Bosses possess higher health and attack/shout damage, and new shouts depending on their class and tier. (MCM)

    []Boss Assault: Boss dragons will attack with up to 2 additional normal dragons at the start of battle. This feature is standalone from the vanilla spawning system. Safe Zones option enabled by default. (MCM)

    []Named Dragons: Named vanilla dragons are also now classified as bosses. (MCM)

    []Catharsis of Contempt: Collect Contemptuous Tablets from Boss dragons (rarity based on tier). Use them with a special shout to provoke a Boss Assault, per your Boss Assault settings, to your location. Does not work in interiors. Using this in places like Blackreach will work, but will produce strange effects. (MCM)

    []Configuration Presets: Select a preset based on a theme and/or customize the mod settings to your liking. (MCM)

    []Compatible: See compatibility section below.

    Requirements:

    • []SKSE & SkyUI: Required for MCM menu.

      Boss Dragons and Shouts:

      The type of shouts given to dragons depends on the class and tier of the dragon. Toggle options for each shout are available. Players can alternatively select an option to allow all dragons (not just the boss dragons) to possess each selected shout. Below is a list of each dragon class, tier, and new shouts.

      []Normal dragons: Unrelenting Force & Force Blast

      []Brutal dragons (Tier 1): Gravitational Pull & Marked for Death (AoE)
