BloodRayne Build.

Post » Sat Nov 22, 2014 6:56 am

So, you know where I'm going with this, any tips to make our most famous Vampire better? I was planning to use Linwe's Armour and the hood only outdoors in the sun. Maybe Ebony daggers and duel wielding. But you get the jist of it. What skills should I put it towards.

Also, should I avoid "Actual" vampirism to keep face same and use animal meats (she drinks blood of animals, and clearly says so) as "blood"? Maybe Vampire dust would substitute for Vampire blood?

Basically, I actually need help. I don't know what to do. Any help, from Armour, weapons, quests, any help is welcome.

Plus feel free to leave a comment, maybe even how you would handle this build.

I'm not familiar with Bloodrayne, but for vampires I find Nightblades seem to work better than other builds: Stealth, Illusion, backstabbing. Vampires get a nice boost to both Illusion and Stealth. You'll need a secondary combat style for when stealth fails- Destruction is traditional for nightblades, but conjuration or sword and board would work.

What I'm trying to create is a dual-wielding vampire.

These may help for the kind of Armour and weapons she wielded.

Vampire Armor (red variant) is the most befitting set i can think of for Rayne. As for weapons you cant get guns or her awesome blades so Ebony Daggers are a good substitute

If you are not on PC I would suggest avoiding actually becoming a vampire as any option of being hot is gone at that point. In fact, it seems difficult to even make an attractive female on an unmodded game.

As for equipment, it looks like you are referring to the Bloodrayne from the first bad movie. If so it is difficult to find a suit that looks like the one in the pic. But she also wears Skyrim-looking fur armor a lot during the first three quarters of that movie. I have done the same thing and used that armor well smithed for much of the game. She now wears Nightingale armor sans hood and since she does about 400 damage per attack she often just wears the boots, guantlets and jewelery, with the Diadem of the Savant. Then when she needs it I got the cuirass, and thieves' guildmasters hood hot keyed and her AR jumps a whole bunch as the 25% bonus for Custom Fit applies. I think the Nightingale armor looks a lot like her outfits from the original video game and some in the second movie.

That said, you can really start your character based off Bloodrayne and wear different outfits that suited the situation which is essentially what she does in the movies and games. I Like dual wielding Skyforge steel swords as I don't have any mods but face and body mods. Ebon daggers are no bueno as they have slow speed, unless that is fixed. Still I think the Ebony Swords would be more appropriate if you wanted to go for that many smithing perks to improve them, otherwise Skyforge Steel with steel perk is best for perk cost/damage ration and looks in my opinion.

For some build advice, I would suggest that you get started on the MQ fairly soon, at least by when your onehanded is 30, then you can easily veer off at some of the early points. Then get yourself to one of the Elemental Fury word walls, I find the one north of Meridia's shrine the easiest to access. Once you get that shout activated, especially once you have 30 skill and Dual Flurry perk, you will never have an opponent who can beat you in melee. At that point I even abandon blocking when fighting dragons and just run up to hit them in the nose....

OMG, Bloodrayne. She's my fav PS2 char. Technically she's only half vamp. A Dhampire they called her. Gorgeous and deadly and that voice! Shame about the half arsed movie attempts. You had to play the games to realise just how bad the movies were. The first film was the best of the bunch IMO. The games prove you can fight in eight inch stilettos, ha! Rayne used them to stomp and stab floored enemies. Her wrist blades were quite long though, probably a lot longer than ebony daggers, I'd suggest the longer Daedric daggers, which also have the colour coordinating red trim, nice! Can you do red hair?

In the games Rayne definitely drank human blood and had a let's say interesting way of wrapping herself around the victim. She always sounded like she was really enjoying the feast too. Think I need a cold shower!

Um! One thing you could try if you want to avoid the ugly vamp face. Do the Namira quest instead and do the cannibal feeding bit, but you'll miss out on the special powers. It's a shame you can't mimick Rayne's acrobatics, I guess you could kinda leap,around a lot!

Ok, so first off, there is no bad movie for me. Hell, I loved the first movie and it's my favorite movie.

So, I was thinking Vampire Red Armour, Vampire boots, and the Mage Hood from Helgan Keep as Armour until I get the Vampire Royal Armour, Vampire Boots, and Theive's Guild Master's hood. I was thinking about using Ebony Daggers because in the movie her swords go to about a little past her elbows.

As for "personality", any helps? Like does she just do whatever she wants, etc etc? Just, should I join certain guilds right off the bat, and what guilds?

And if I remember, Half-Vampires get burned by sunlight and water, but are Ammune to crosses. Is there any enchantments that I should look for, I can always just try my best to avoid water as much as possible.
