Description
With these mods installed, you can go toe-to-toe with dragons, interrupting their attacks rather than being held in place for your cinematic death. You can bring followers to trap-filled dungeons; they won't trigger the trap you so carefully avoided. You can dodge and weave against greatsword wielders; you won't be paralyzed by the mere possibility of a fatal attack. And the audible heartbeat and blurred vision that's supposed to warn you of low health will actually play before you're a housecat scratch away from the grave.

In short, when you do die, it'll be for some legitimate reason (e.g. didn't notice that Forsworn archer) rather than for any number of cheap reasons (e.g. J'zargo introduced you to Mr. Spike Wall).

The mods in this collection can be loaded in any order.
