I'm starting a new character for Dawnguard, all vampire hunter themed and such, and immediately thought of making a khajit for night eye. Easy vampire hunting in the dark, or that's the hope. Has anyone noticed it really coming in useful or something you really didn't need.

You see, I'm not a huge fan of khajit, I think they are cool but would rather play another race. So it really hinges on night eye. As for my skill choices I'm thinking archery, sneak, light armor, illusion, one handed, restoration, and smithing/enchanting for crafting. I was thinking of switching to heavy armor though for added protection, but then I'm at range anyways and being mobile is nice so that's not quite weighed in yet.

I think night eye always comes in handy. I do, however, play on a lower than default brightness. I wouldn't say it's mandatory for fighting vampires, so if you really want to play another race, go for it. But it definitely helps overall.

I'm a Khajiit and a member of the dawnguard. Honestly I forgot night eye even existed.

For some reason, the thought of a khajiit as a gritty vamp hunter seems very very right. I say do it!

I am also a werewolf on my khajiit which makes killing vampires all the more fun.

Sounds right doesn't it?
As soon as I read the title I was like "oh hell yeah, I wish I'd thought of that."

It seems to suit the role pretty well for some unknown reason...
Any lore precedents or something in their culture to suggest this as a good career for Khajiits?

I have my brightness turned down a fair bit, though I still seem to be able to see ok most of the time.

The idea of a khajit vampire hunter is definitely cool, I like it, just wish they were more fluid in game. The tail just looks funny, even if i'm in first person most of the time, when I switch out I always notice the tail. I also just remembered the detect life spell (nix illusion, sub alteration) and happened to see mention of a shout that is useful in this respect too.
