mhasemore Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I've had this idea in my head ever since I first killed Mirmulnir. Throughout my first playthrough on Skyrim, I would end up killing quite a lot of dragons in the wilderness - for the obvious reasons of getting dragon souls and the ability to upgrade my shouts. But then I thought; every single dragon in this game apart from Paarthy and Odahviing are incredibly stupid, to an extent that it takes me out of the game a little bit. According to lore, the few dragons mentioned were capable of bargaining with opponents that may defeat them - the most obvious example being "Twin Souls" or whatever that enchanting skill book is called.So my idea for the mod is this: give a customizable effect when defeating dragons, instead of them dying, choosing to spare them in exchange for knowledge of the Thu'um - basically the same reward. Arngeir, the Greybeards and Paarthurnax are capable of gifting you knowledge; why not other dragons? Especially the named dragons; it would make more sense for them to offer knowledge in exchange for sparing their life.This is more an immersion/moral mod that would immerse me in the world more. As it is, the Dragonborn being capable of slaughtering hundreds of stupid dragons allied with Alduin doesn't make much sense in lore, since they apparently can't breed, and there's no information on where they're coming from.The author of the "Passive dragon encounters" mod was probably coming from a similar perspective; this idea just takes it further.
