Changes a lot of the stock armor in the game to mesh with the HGEC mod.

Allows for use of other mods, such as some armor mods.

Changes female bodies in the game, and allows for nudity - but I'm not using that function (besides, it'd make all this NSFW and then we'd be nowhere).

Changes face textures to be higher res and to match another skin pack.Face Texture for High Rez Skin Textures (by Ozmo).It conflicts with Alternative Start (puts you back in prison clothes AS removes that). Changes all attack animations to be very much like Devil May Cry styled attacks.Adds a set of heavy armor and bows for sale in the Imperial City.Black Luster Weapons & Armor for Exnem's Body (by hide).Changes the jump animation in the game to some cool shit.Some might not fight 100% but it should be an understandable categorizing anyhow.

I'll separate them by two categories - mods for looks and mods for gameplay. I apologize if some aren't as easy to find as others, I didn't save their links when getting them myself. All mods listed here can be found at the TES Nexus. I have a fair amount of mods being put to use in the game, and I thought I'd list them all and credit accordingly. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but if you're like me then you get sick of 'block heavy attack attack attack attack repeat' for every single bad guy you face.

The deadly reflex mod itself adds a crapton of features - you can dodge/roll much more easily, shield bashing (punching if you're using a 2h weapon) is bound to a button for interrupts, instant stealth kills on targets that are sleeping, critical strikes from weapons (you can decapitate with a sword, smash heads with a blunt weapons, or puncture a lung with an arrow) and spells (chance to freeze someone solid, burn them to cinders, or best of all - electrocute them, which will send them flying and melt anything metal they're carrying). IIRC it's only 2 mods and they're pretty simple to install.

It's kind of a pig to work with at first but the install instructions give you URLs to follow for the foundation mods that you need. This mod changes that as when these two actions occur the Dragonborn will be ragdolled.In addition to some of the graphics packs (obviously), I highly recommend a mod called deadly reflex that completely overhauls the combat system.

Normally when a dragon takes off/lands there is little to no effect.

If the Dragonborn does enough damage to the wings then the dragon effected won't be able to fly.

Better dragon melee: Dragon tail strikes will ragdoll the Dragonborn while different areas of a dragon's body have certain effects.

Also dragons on the ground will have three deaths: the Alduin death, normal dragon death and a ragdoll death.

New deaths: Dragons killed while hovering will fall straight to the ground upon death while moving dragons will ragdoll in a similar manner to the trailer.

Airstrike: a new power that allows the Dragonborn to command any nearby friendly Dragons to talon grab an enemy.

Dragon reinforcements: an injured dragon may call for 1-3 Dragons to assist it.

New dragon attacks (limit breaks that can turn the tide of a dragon battle).

It is also added in the set mods Epic Gameplay Overhaul. The mod is fully compatible with other dragon-related mods. Dragon Combat Overhaul is a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimВ which adds several new features that makes dragon combat more interesting and intense.
