LE Dragon Souls edit for when you get killed by a dragon

[ChaosTheory9]

I personally love the mod Dragon Souls. However, as cool as the concept is, a conundrum occurs if you get killed by a dragon.

 

If the reason why your mortal vessel is recreated again is because you have a dragon soul, then wouldn't your dragon soul get stolen if a dragon kills you? That's the whole thing with why the Dragonborn is the greatest dragonslayer, right? He can keep dragons dead permanently and stuff?

 

 

 

What I would like is for someone to make a version of Dragon Souls where being defeated by a dragon (or dying close enough to a living dragon) doesn't respawn you at the Throat of the World or wherever you last prayed to a shrine, and instead....something else happens.

Any of the suggestions below for what the "something else" could be would fulfill my request, but if you think of anything else that is lore-friendly and makes logical sense then feel free to do that:

• You die normally - get a loading screen and play resumes wherever your last save was. I'm not sure how possible this would be to implement though since Dragon Souls marks the Dragonborn as an essential character.
• You respawn as per the norm (or at least per the norm of Dragon Souls), but the number of dragon souls you have is lowered by 1. Being killed by a drag before retrieving any of your souls
• The game just turns itself off. Or crashes. (To be honest this is my favorite one)

 

Now, you COULD go through all the work of having Dragonborn wake up in Sovngarde, but I don't think that would make any sense to do (especially since going to Sovngarde means the Dragonborn could be there before the main quest has him travel there). Also, I don't think that adding in a feature where death-by-dragon results in losing a dragon soul (and nothing special happens when you die with zero souls) would make sense either, because you still need your own soul in order for it to gather somewhere. The only soul you'd have left is the one you had at the start of the game, which is your own soul.

 

If whoever takes this up also makes a special loading screen message explaining what happens if a dragon kills you, that would be very cool (but not needed to complete this request).

I'd make it so that you still wake up at High Hrothgar,but you look ethereal and your stamina,health and magicka are halved until you spend a dragon soul to restore yourself.

That'd be cool! Do you think you could have that state be registered as a disease so visiting a shrine can heal/restore you also? If not then don't worry about it.

Should be possible.

 

But don't get me wrong,I am not working on this.I don't know how.
