Vampire lord looks bad?

Obviously it's extremely ugly. It's supposed to be a horrible creature of the night.

If I was to make my character a vampire lord and it kept the mortal form but with wings, she'd still be the sixiest thing on Nirn. I don't want a vampire demon thingy to be that.

The vampire lord has a look that would scare people. Nords and Orcs included.

That's the least kind of complaint I'd expect about vampire lords considering how clunky the gameplay is and how underpowered they are.

Edit: What mod is that, ToJKa? I'd like to know. :o

Yet I managed to finish the CW questline with that form.

VL's look absolutely absurd in my opinion.. I never seen the appeal. Especially when there's lycanthropy in the game.

Indeed. And they can't even fly. What's the point of wings when you can't fly :confused:

I don't like the look of the werewolves either though. Just because something looks monstrous, doesn't mean it is scary. It's just as possible that it only looks silly, which I think goes for both vampire lords and werewolves in this game.

(Not saying everything about vampires and werewolves in Skyrim is bad. I just don't like how they look.)

"Infernal Vampire Lord Replacer", IIRC. I don't have the file myself anymore either :shrug:

Even when I play as a vampire, very rarely do I use the VL.

Not just ugly, but also I feel horribly unfair to Khajiit and Argonian players. Imo vampire lord should just have more prominent flesh tearing teeth than generic vampires, with more intensely glowing eyes, and with those wings, but none of that other stuff, that way they'd look scary and powerful, but wouldn't make the player character look less unique. I wish there was a mod that either made it just add the wings, or made no visual transformation at all, I feel like the devs didn't think enough about argonian or khajiit players when making VL form, and I don't like that.

I think the look is brutal and intimidating but I don't understand why a normal vampire would ever want to be one. A normal vampire can be just as powerful.

Plus the form is buggy as hell on the PC. If you ever try to free roam the camera to actually get a close up better look at the form, the game goes nuts. The main reason I'll never play as one. And if any of you PC players wanna test it out to see what I mean, go TFC and begin roaming the camera around. Within a couple seconds its going to fix to your character and you won't be able to do anything without turning off the game and reloading from your last save.

They mimicked this http://image.toutlecine.com/photos/u/n/d/underworld-evolution-2006-60-g.jpg and mixed in a splash of http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/10700000/Bram-Stoker-s-Dracula-bram-stokers-dracula-10765534-1024-576.jpg ;)

Without a doubt. But he could fly at least.

Yeah. I wonder where they got that idea.

I've said before that Dawnguard is nothing but an Underworld fan boys wet dream. Doesn't belong in TES at all. But whatever. At least I have a mod to turn the dang DG MQ off so my towns don't get wiped out.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Haggar!

That's odd, I usually make short work of my enemies in VL form.

Are you playing on legendary?

TES lore is pretty insane. I'm sure that in an universe where a deity is pooped out from another deity and cat men worship the moon, a bat humanoid is far from farfetch'd.

A better reason to criticise would be that it isn't a very original design.

True but that's a gameplay issue as free flight likely would've created too many problems and flight with an invisible ceiling and invisible wall around cities would be somewhat stupid. From what we saw in the gamejam vid, flying was originally intended for vamp lords.

:ninja:

I think almost everyone has made the Underworld connection by now, even the werewolves are similar...same for Serana/Selene.

So they copied Underworld and is that not copyright infringement? I'm not familiar with the program but they really do look the same.

I wonder if VL is as over powered as Werewolf with all 11 perks taken? Because my fully perked WW can tear just about anything apart. I don't doubt VL is strong but has disadvantage of forcing third person, same as werewolf. I totally agree, it is pretty ugly and just not something I would imagine a vampire lord to look like. If am forced into third person I would at least like to enjoy what I'm looking at.
