The mod goes into overdrive. Set to 1 vanilla dragon and allowing a single dragon with timer and assault on I've had as many as 8 dragons at once. Most fly off to die. They can appear in caves, fly through textures, circle endlessly, fly through or sink into the ground and so on.
It takes repeated changing the settings to get it to save the changes and then two or three may still show up at once.
The problem comes in with those graphics that block out your vision and you consume one soul with several more dragons coming in for the attack. Lots of dead and reload.
So after fighting with this for a couple of weeks I decided to take a new tack. Use this as an additional challenge.
I haphazardly equipped Sofia, Viconia, Vilja and the PC with mod supplied outfits that accept the Archery enchantment, Bow +40. Then made certain everyone was well equipped with the best arrows I can find or make. Nobody is exactly modest. It's all about anti aircraft fire. Dragon shows up and somebody gets the required shots in. I recover one or two about of every 5 dead dragon souls. The game removes them, sometimes instantly, sometimes they just fly off and vanish.
Right now I'm coping with the start of Serana, rescuing her initially. Go a dragon flying around that underground room, flying through textures with no place to land. Best just to leave the area. Even dead it will just keep circling endlessly.
Of course the primary reason for the brigade of immodest markswomen is putting the dragons down before they kill innocent bystanders. 7 dragons in Whiterun was a huge challenge that required about 15 save reloads and over an hour. The PC must not approach a down dragon as she will be soul eating blind for 10-15 seconds which can be a crucial mistake.
The experts challenge is just going about the normal quests while coping with it raining dragons.
