📋 About This Mod
I went through all of Legacy of the Dragonborn SSE's locations and NPCs and blacklisted the citizen "bosses" and whitelisted the bosses for use with True Directional Movement - Modernized Third Person Gameplay
Compatibility:
It's just an additional .ini that adds to the one in True Directional Movement. Can't really break anything on its own, I think.
Q: I see a boss health bar on a non-boss! What do?
A: If you spot a non-boss with a boss healthbar, post it in the comments and I'll add it to the blacklist.
Q: A boss isn't showing a healthbar! You lazy shit!
A: Sorry, its been a bit since I've done a full playthrough and might have
missed some. Let me know in the comments and I'll add it in.
Q: Will you do other mods?
