THE PREMISE:

In vanilla Skyrim, I was always really disappointed with how lame Odahviing and Durnehviir were in fights. They were basically overgrown mosquitos who would do next-to-no damage to enemies, especially at higher levels. This is a result of the fact that they share their attacks with enemy dragons, which are balanced to the player's health.

This mod gives Odahviing and Durnehviir their own unique dragon breath attacks that deal massive amounts of damage and greatly amplifies their melee damage as well. I wanted to make them feel as dangerous to enemies as high-level dragons feel to the player. They are now able to obliterate all but the most powerful enemies in a single blast of breath, even on legendary difficulty. I enjoy playing with mods that add increased spawns and large battles around the overworld, so dragon allies now become well worth the shout cooldown necessary to summon them, able to decimate entire groups of enemies and singlehandedly turn the tide of a battle in your favor.

HOW IT WORKS:

All this mod does is creates new, unique breath shouts for Odahviing and Durnehviir that behave in the exact same way as their vanilla counterparts, but deal in excess of 1000 damage each, way overkill for most weaker or low-level enemies, but just enough to still be able to take out enemies with the highest health. Remember that they tend to do a lot of flying around, so when they do attack, you want it to count. Their melee damage modifier is quite high as well, so you'll be able to enjoy seeing them do killmoves on weaker humanoid enemies fairly frequently if they get within bite range of them.

Now all that damage obviously spells instant death for the player and friendly NPCs if they're hit by it, so I've taken a couple measures to prevent this from happening. First and foremost I've added conditions to Odahviing and Durnehviir's new breath attacks which make them do no damage to the player or any of the player's followers. Normally this isn't an issue and the breath won't damage non-hostile NPCs anyway, but in earlier beta versions I ran into a few bugs where my followers would somehow aggro on my dragon which would then make him go hostile and one-shot me with breath. This is an additional contingency that ensures it's impossible for this to happen. I've also added both Odahviing and Durnehviir to the Player faction, which will further ensure that N
