....and DAMN is it LAME. That is why I am eagerly awaiting MadMole's release tomorrow of his new take on VAMPIRISM.

It was beyond lame. Vtm was better compared to oblivion vampirism. Ive tried other vampire mods along the way but none gave me that feel that i was actually a vampire. Though i admit navm's mod, terrans, and star x's was good and ltd's too. Ud makes me feel like im actually there. I prefer real life vampirism role playing compared to vanillas so called vampires.

LA...you sure are right! TOMORROW...GET HERE SOON!

I've avoided getting vampirism like a disease ever since morrowind but I'll probably give it a try when Unholy Darkness is finished just because it sounds cool.

Hmm, in that case maybe i'll take Vincente's offer after all.

Whaaaaa?!

When did he say it would be released tomorrow? I haven't finished Heart of the Dead yet! Damnit now I have to finish tonight.

I do that with ud nek. I attack legion guards or anyone with 2 legs. Quite fun. Also have your mod installed along with ud just with 2 different bash patches. Quite fun.

I'll definitely give UD a go.

Nekhanimal that video was awsome.

I play your vampire mod with Lithians.. they seem to work pretty well together.

But that video.. wow I like it! I always thought that was missing in oblivion..

Hell not even UD has that ...

Also are they just going to randomly come out of no where and bite you?

Or will they do more? Like rob you or try to kill you?..

What's UD? I wanna get in the loop. Sounds good with what everyone is saying

lol, awesome video.

Man, I get in the mindset that UD is going to be the end all be all... but Nekhanimal, you really pull off some sweet stuff. I'm going to have to give yours the next play through after this UD one. I guess there never is a final end all be all.

Just type in search Unholy Darkness..

It's a vampire overhaul that is coming up soon.

Looks promising.

These vampires have a chance of popping out of nowhere every 2-8 minutes of real time (depending on how well prepared you are), never in cities or interiors, never when you're in combat and always somewhere behind you. Most of them wear light footwear, so you can't really hear them coming... I always check my back every now and then while travelling after dark. There are some issues with her disappearing in the video that I've since fixed, she now casts an invisibility spell instead of suddenly disappearing.

The chance of these vampires appearing depends on a LOT of things, like your Luck, how much Meat (any meat but Mort Flesh) and Blood you're carrying, whether you're using a Torch, carrying Garlic, Vampire Dust, etc. What they want to do depends entirely on what kind of vampire they are. Anna the Poor (the beggar in the video) actually only wants money to buy Blood elsewhere, she's not too happy about being a vampire. Once you learn this, you can give her a coin and she might spare your life, give her a handful and she definitely will, a bottle of Blood if you've got one and she'll leave you alone for a long while afterwards... or you can be a ponce and throw Garlic at her, insult her, etc. which is fun, but makes her hate you. Whether you're able to do any of this depends on your Speechcraft and Personality.

If a vampire hates you (or if you fail a Luck roll), they won't bother talking to you, they'll just run up and ninja-feed. Sometimes being fed on will have bad effects, i.e. beggar/rogue type vampires will steal your cash, old and powerful vampires will drain so much blood your Attributes will take a hit, and you will always get Porphyria. It's preferable to avoid being fed on altogether by carrying anti-vampire items and staying near the Imperial Watch when possible. There will be a Public Threat Awareness notice hanging in each city reminding you of this. If you are facing a vampire while it tries to feed on you, there's a chance based on your Agility/Endurance and Block skill (just as if you were feeding on someone with Violent Feed) that it will fail, but if they are behind you they will always succeed.

Obviously as a vampire you don't have to worry about any of these assaults. Without Vampiric Senses on, they'll still run up to you, but not feed on you or hurt you. As a vampire you can talk to them as normal, buy blood, etc, and also ask some of them that they accompany and protect you for the price of a blood bottle. They'll leave as soon as you enter a city or an interior, when the sun rises or if you talk to anyone else, and you can only have one of these followers at a time.

If you kill a road feeder vampire, you will not encounter it for a week, and the chance of vampire attacks will be lowered appropriately for that time. Killing a road feeder as a vampire will NOT count towards making you an Outcast, as long as you aren't seen by any vampires while doing it.

NOTE: None of the above is out yet! It's what I have planned for v1.82. A week from now, perhaps?

An update on that though, the mods have currently banned discussion on it pending review... likely in regards to alleged EULA violations in its distribution, which all I'll say.

So the topics are all there, you just can't comment on them necessarily. But it was due for release today, at any rate. http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22501 is what I used for a long time. It's in my opinion the best off those currently released, and it just updated to 1.8 with a bunch of new features, with more in the works.

Edit, remind me to read the topic next time. I guess Nekhanimal can probably sum up his mod better than I can...

Again?

...Yes... :rolleyes:

Yes again. Anyway they should give mm another chance i mean he worked so hard on this mod. And he needs the support from this forums but not like this.

I hold an immense amount for Madmole, yet he should have hired real beta testers instead of people who barely know how to sort their load order just because they paid for the voice files. Ten bucks that the release will get pushed back towards next week.

Can I ask exactly how it violates the EULA or will this earn me a swift smack in the face with the ban hammer?

I would answer, but I am afraid of the banhammer as well...

As has been mentioned, discussion of this mod on these forums is prohibited until further notice.
