New / Additional 'Death' event - A Mod Request

Ok, let me start by saying I have NO idea what is involved in this.. (and hence why I am not even considering trying to do it myself)

I want a suitably heroic 'after-death' scene for my dragonborn instead of the momentary image of your dead body followed by the loading screen.

 

Ideally:

The mod would kick in when the player's character dies. The body image of the body laying there (as is current), but followed by the 'ghost' of the character standing up (with the body remaining) and then everything fades out...

 

.. to Sovengard! Just like when the character travels there from Skoldufin (or however it is spelled) - you appear in the valley, walk your dead butt down the pretty path (no fog yet... or after the fog of Alduin's defeat) until you reach the Dragonbone Bridge to the Hall. There you are met by the guard (just like in the quest/mission), but of course this time you are actually a fallen spirit rather than in life! He gives you the brief speech and says something about, "... and let's see how you died" - and then pauses as if 'seeing' your death.

 

Depending on how you died (and if you have already defeated Alduin), one of three things occurs:

1) If you died 'grandly' in superb battle with worthy foes, he congratulates you and you get the option of fighting him for entrance into the Hall to take your place with the other heroic honored dead. You win, you enter and it is game over... yay! Back to main menu after some end-scene. You fail and you are stuck wondering around the valley until you can defeat him (or just load a saved game).

2) If you died 'grandly' in superb battle with worthy foes, yet you feel you have left some great deed undone or had some oath outstanding, so you persuade him to let you return. (reloads most recent saved game... or just respawns you with no gear? MCM setting I guess)

3) If you died 'poorly' (fighing something far beneath you, to a trap... ), he starts giggling... then laughing out loud! Maybe making the comment about how "At least old Yarath died from a giants club while Mammoth tipping!" Finally, as he gets control over himself, he states that he just cannot let you into the Hall like that... you have to go back and redeem yourself (and something about, "... you are lucky you are a Dragonborn, almost no others get this chance!"). at which point we go back to it loading the most recent saved game.

 

Yes, I realize this has no actual 'in game' effect, but from a role-playing / immersive standpoint, it would be AWESOME.
