About
"Play as a Dragon" is a modification for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
The purpose of this mod is to let the player transform into a dragon.
There are some perks included but the mod does not force roleplaying or video game progression mechanics (such as a questline to "earn" the power)
When the game loads, you will receive a power called "Dragon Form."

Known Issues
- Expect lots of random crashing: unknown cause, perhaps due to system load, script load, behavior edits not cooperating with the engine, etc. 1st person seems to trigger it, especially if trying to cast spells or do weird stuff
- Cannot shout in non-combat mode while hovering
Installation
- Install Better Jumping
- When you install PlayableDragon, let it overwrite "Data/SKSE/Plugins/DoubleJumpPlugin.txt" (if you use a mod manager, make sure PD is loaded after BJ.)
- PlayableDragon.ini is included to increase the max zoom distance. Any custom camera tweak mods should be loaded after PlayableDragon.
INCOMPATIBLE
Optional Mods
SkyUI - For the convenient MCM menu
Individualized Shout Cooldowns - An SKSE plugin
Dragon Animation Replace - Since the player uses a custom race, you can have player-custom animations in "Data/meshes/actors/PDdragon/animations"

Weapon attack speed affects dragon attack speed if you have a weapon equipped in the right hand (Elemental Fury shout, changes to actor value 'weaponspeedmult,' etc.)
Note: Most settings are updated during the transformation sequence, they are not updated immediately.
Recommended to use SkyUI MCM menu, but the following console commands serve the same purpose.
set PDDragonType to ___ (Any number from 0-13, depending on DLC's loaded)
- Regular
- Blood
- Frost
- Fire
- Gray
- Skeletal
- Elder
- Ancient
- Dark
- Avatar
- Revered (DG DLC)
- Legendary (DG DLC)
- Undead (DG DLC)
- Serpentine (DB DLC)
set PDAutoLand to ___ (1 or 0, toggles whether colliding on something makes you land)
set PDFastTransform to ___ (1 or 0, toggles whether to skip animations and some visuals during transformation)
set PDFriendlyNPCs to ___ (1 or 0, toggles hostility with human NPCs when transformed)
set PDFriendlyDragons to ___ (1 or 0, toggles hostility with dragon NPCs when transformed)
Copying Appearance
In addition to the global value for setting dragon type, you can copy the appearance of any dragon you see (including mod added).
Use the "Copy Dragon Appearance" lesser power when near a dragon. Using it again will let you clear the appearance.
"Nether Dragon" from Deadly Dragons
The copied appearance overrides the selected PDdragontype variable and the MCM dropdown menu.
If you don't have the spell, use the following console command:
player.addspell xx1037c3
