Description
Dragons are now more realistic, and may be harder to kill.
Some features:

1. Dragons fire breath now lights objects on fire, which can do damage.
2. Dragons frost breath now freezes objects, also doing damage
3. Dragons melee attacks are more realistic(bite does more damage, wings can throw anyone a considerable distance, dragons do more damage on their right side(right handed), and will always try to face the target, and will attack with wings and tail less often)

*UPDATES*
4. Dragons no longer land unless they have low health or have been hit by dragonrend. -suggested by chad.steel
5. Dragons will not go out of there way to fight you. Actually, they may just watch you cautiously until you get to close. - suggested by chad.steel
6.Dragons take longer to get into the air unless from a perched position
7. The bug where dragons bite throw you has been fixed
8. Dragons can hunt now, and hunting grounds are still being created.
9. Hunting dragons will have many ingredients from the body of creatures it ate
10. Dragons have a more diverse selection of shouts to choose from. They will usually stick to the fire and frost breath as their main attack -suggested by chad.steel
11. Dragons can cooperate, one sometimes on the ground, and one always in the air, fighting side by side -suggested by acidz_reign


and more to come!

Hunting dragons ARE NOT LEVELED!!!!! For you new players, you might have a hard time fighting the dragons. I try to make them Frost or less, but don't wander blindly into a hunting area. Read the list of them below

***Dragon Hunting grounds***

1. Karthspire(1 Blood Dragon)
2. Red Road Pass(2 Frost Dragons)
3. White Watch tower( 2 cooperating dragons)


I'm still making more don't worry


BUGS:
1. If a dragon pushes the player in to water, you will not get like you normally would, leaving you defenseless. You will get up if you hit a rock or land.

2. Some hunting dragons won't give a soul

3. Some named dragons aren't affected by the mod

4.Hunting dragons can be found before the first dragon is killed. New players should get to that quest as quickly as possible and avoid hunting grounds to avoid problems

5. Occasionally, the Dragonrend shout may cause dragons to fly away towards the end of the map. This one needs to be fixed soon.

if any bugs are found that are not listed, please let me know in the comments. Also

**NOTE** I am now deleting any comments about "how can a dragon be realistic?". I explained it to the first person who asked and that's enough. So please don't post those because it will be deleted.




!!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!

For those of you that do not want the no landing part, then download this instead: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=80708897

It is Realistic Dragons Lite. Dragons will still land like normal in that one, except for Odahviing, who will still fly like in this mod.




Please leave suggestions for updates to make dragons more realistic(I have thought about size, but the animation is screwed up when size is changed).

Okay, so the new Legen-Wait For It-Dary dragons are cool, but you should make THUNDER DRAGONS! Yeah. Like one or two ridiculously badass dragons that... lightning at you!

@Sir Hennington Haha, I don't even use this mod because I'm not skilled enough to fight them on my new character, I already have dragonrend but I'm truly afraid of the way the ground now burns/freezes with this mod. You should see what I have planned for the ancient dragons, ;)

Well, as soon as i figured this made the dragons, harder to kill.... i was like.. shit. I will download this when i have more skill with skyrim. lol

Actually for me it made it easier to not have them land as my armor had good frost/fire resistances and the dragon melee attacks were more dangerous. I tried the lite version to get them to land more, but the melee attacks did not seem boosted the same and the dragons seemed weaker even though I had my difficulty up at master.

@mark, kinda the point to make it harder.

You should have them land, but not often. Make it a rare occurrence.those who use melee weapons will have trouble killing the dragons (even though they should have a bow with them at all times, like smart people). I understand the logic behind the dragons not landing, it's a great idea. It does make the dragons more realistic. But it makes gameplay harder.

you should add more different types on dragons like small quick ones that dont have much health but do lots of damage and really rare dragons that are HUGE and pretty much impossible to kill (unless you cheat).

For anyone else who wants their dragons to be tougher as well, the new 1.4 version of Dragon Overhaul (Nexus version works better) works really well when put before this mod in the load order. It adds enhancements for named dragons, increased toughness, leveling with the character, and better human and animal remains.

I would recommend activating Realistic Dragons mod after you encounter the first dragon, or the hunting dragons near Whiterun will be an issue.

This conflicts with Dragonborn. When flying a Dragon, they always refuse to attack.

Actually it seems to be working really well to load Realistic Dragons after Dragon Overhaul. The dragons get the attack and AI changes from Realistic Dragons along with the loot changes, texture changes for named dragons, (and perhaps some toughness and level scaling) from Dragon Overhaul. I have not noticed an issue yet.
