Except Volkihar don't go feeding on sleeping folks. Sounds like Cyrodilic vampires invaded Skyrim.

I dont want anything to do with vampires unless they have clans with full quest lines like in Morrowind.

The question is, are they alone?
The answer is, probably. :yucky:

Yeah. They got a nasty rep for taking over and making sure they are the only tribe. Unless there is a hidden Volkihar tribe somewhere.

They do know that alot of people dislike oblivion vampire's backwards system of feeding = weaker. And Bethesda does listen to fan complains.

So I am expecting something along the lines of older (game time) = stronger + more weakness to sun.

[censored] ASK CLAVACUS VILE! Arg! It's even in the [censored] books that he made a pact with them, which likely means he lessens the power the curse, which also lessens their powers gained as a vampire. In reality, the final form of the vampire in OB is what they would have been like without CV's pact. Seriously, people, this question has already been answered.

They were static in the older games. They didn't get stronger or weaker, look more normal or ugly, and so on through feeding. Vampire characters only got stronger when your character gets stronger. The biggest thing is with the different clans, they gained different abilities and bigger focuses on stats.

Also, it is ONLY the Cyrodiilic clan that changes appearance when feeding. Everyone is stuck looking fugly.

Not everyone is a lore buff. :rolleyes:

As far as I know, werewolves are the only ones caused by a disease. Meaning you can't be a werebear.

not at all,all weres are caused by disease

There's no Tremere or Malkavians? :confused:

I added the first part because someone in one of these threads mentioned that lycanthrope only referred to werewolves. Second quote to deal with the disease thing.

I hope that they sparkle in sunlight.

I LOVE you!

Yup, which is bad ._. but at least with Cyrodillic vampires, we may have the Ventrue!

Guys... I think I've missed the the interview with Todd where he confirms vampires... :sadvaultboy: Anyone has a link?

The Cyrodilic Vampires were able to oust all the other Vampire Clans in Cyrodiil by using their high rank within mortal society in order to manipulate and order mortal underlings into cleaning out the rival vampire lairs (Like how Janus Hassildor had you kill the Vampires in Bloodcrust Cavern). It was possible because Cyrodiil is a highly populated, metropolitan area, where the reach/power of the cities extends far.
Skyrim however, is the opposite. It's a highly rugged, rural area where there's far more untamed wilderness than civilization. A Cyrodilic Vampire may be able to infiltrate a city in Skyrim, but outside the city walls, they basically hold no power. The wilderness is the domain of the Volkihar and other Skyrim vampire clans, and considering how much more physically powerful a Volkihar is compared to a Cyrodilic Vampire, that's not likely to change. A physical confrontation between a Volkihar and a Cyrodilic Vampire, would be no contest at all.

I really hope they don't look like the gamespy article :blink:

Cool, I really loved UD for Oblivion.

Most likely no. But I'd rather have one type and quests for it, then three types and no quests for it. I fear I may not get either one.

Sounds good to me.

Tremere ftw.... Just had to say that

Where's the logic in that conclusion? How do you know the Volkihar would win?

I really don't see why people are raving about Volkihar being more powerful than the Cyrodilic vampires. If Cyrodilic vampires were so weak...then why are they the only clan in Cyrodiil? While mostly every other province has warring vampire clans? And they ousted all other competitors...a fact people seem to ignore. Let a starved Cyrodilic vampire who hasn't drank blood in seventy-two hours go against a Volkihar and see what happens.

Cyrodiil's vampires were able to oust the other clans because they had something that the other clans didn't; subtlety. Subtlety is the main focus of their powers, unlike other vampire clans who have different abilities. Just compare the basic statline of Oblivion's vampires to that of Morrowind's or Daggerfall's; they're SIGNIFICANTLY lower, and the other clans have additional bonuses based on their bloodline.

True. While they are subtle, it does not excuse their phisical power. What's to stop a starved Cyrodilic vampire from fighting another one?

I still dont get this, somebody enlighten me...how did Todd confirm Oblivions vamps by saying practically nothing? He just said vampirism got worse if you didnt feed or something like that. That has nothing to do with vampires having no quest lines or strains like in Oblivion.
