- Decreased the Health of Alduin greatly
- Reduced the frequency random dragons (re)spawn greatly (WiWaitDragon is 3 by default, I set it to 12. If I am correct, this should mean you should only encounter a random dragon every 12 ingame days or so, though I am not entirely sure if this one global suffices)

- Rebalanced the Weight of some items (Especially Glass Equipment)
- Adjusted the Vendor Gunmar of the Dawnguard - he should sell plenty of bolts now

Changes in 0.985
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Woodelfs can now cannibalize their slain enemies: In most cases, foes you kill will drop "Strange Meat", which will grant you exceptional bonuses (this is based on lore, look for the "Greenpact") - In some cases, however, they might not, or you might end up being able to pickpocket some. In that case, take it either as they do not taste that good or that they are a little cannibalistic themselves - It's the best results possible to get, I think!

- Certain passive racial abilities now are depicted in the Magic Effects Window
- Corrected the attack speed bonuses of the Sword Specialization perks

- Increased the value of some more items
- Mudcrabs now have a chance based on their size to drop some pearls
- Added a new item: Healing Mush - a traditional yet simple medicine that can be created by about anyone. It consists of ale (1), tundra cutton (3) and blue mountain flowers (3) and can be crafted at the tanning rack - it's so common that every alchemist always has at least a dozen of these in stock.
It works still via magic, as the mixture is based on the healing properties of the flowers.
It's works by applying the mush on the wound, after which the mush will slightly harden, making compresses and bandages somewhat unneccassry under harsher circumstances.
However, physical stress will surpress it from apllying its healing effects: Sprinting, Swimming and Fighting will stop the healing effect temporarily until its over.

- Decreased the player's spell damage skill bonus by 33% and that of NPCs by 50%. [This is very experimental, please give me some feedback about overall balance!!!]
- I edited a value (DLC1VQMinLevelVampireAttacks) which I think of that it controls the random vamire attacks so these attacks start only if your character is at least on level 999 - which effectively should disable them completely. I also added a script that continously resets certain EclipseAttack variables that seem to be responsible for the attacks. [If you still encounter vampire attacks, please inform me about it!!!]
