A Few Questions About Vampires

Post » Sat Sep 28, 2013 9:23 am

I'm working on a project for Morrowind at the moment and have a few questions about vampires in The Elder Scrolls lore.

1) Is is no longer necessary for vampires to eat or drink food or water?

2) Is it possible for them to do so strictly for enjoyment?

3) Do vampires possess any form of mind control?

4) Are there any cases of Elder Scrolls vampires sleeping in coffins? Come to think of it I now recall that there a coffin the player could sleep in in Oblivion's Vile Lair.

Thanks!

1. Doesn't look like it. Serana slept underground for thousands of years without food or water.

2. Yes, vampires can still eat and drink for pleasure. Babette describes enjoying the Gourmet's food.

3. Yes, they have charm spells for making thralls which they feed off of. The moth priest in Dawnguard describes the experience as feeling like he was not in control of his own actions and it was like he was trapped in his own body.

4. Yes, they sleep in coffins in Castle Dawnguard and when you do you get bonuses from it for some reason.

Ah, that's very helpful, thankful, thank you. I forgot all about Serena being trapped for that long and the coffins in Volkihar Keep.
