actually, one of the things i'm changing is that any Terran Vampire whether earth-born or nirn-born will not be able to use magicka. Terran Vampires are actually undead rather just diseased, and as such when thier body dies so does any magicka. I'm doin things for story purposes and balancing purposes ...plus it'll further draw the line between Terran Vampirism and Tamriel's Vampirism.

Thats going to really screw over mages who want to be vampires.

how so? if they'd like to contiue as the mage type character then the join the Tremera (Arcanists) Clan.

They way i'm goin to make it is so that all Terran vampire have a constant drain magicka ability on them. However, the 1st level of the discipline "Magicka From Blood" removes the drain and replaces it with stunted magicka with a slight drain...and with some more advanced training in "Magicka From Blood" one will gain full acces to his/her magicka with no stunt or drain (one should also note that every level in "Magicka From Blood" will tdecrease the players strength and endurance to simulate the effects of hours upon hours of study and research...every clan has it's strengths and weaknesses)

However, if a mage character is embraced by say the Nosferatu and chooses not to invest in the discipline "Magicka From Blood" due to the higher blood cost to train an out-of-clan discipline, then yes, the mage will no longer be much of a mage. But i don't want the player to be granted Terran Vampirism, i want them to be reborn through it. So one should choose their clan wisely :goodjob:

Even so, you're essentially forcing the player to spend blood potency just to be able to fight. This way, a warrior/archer type character will always have an advantage as a terran vampire because using bows/swords requires no BP, but using magic requires BP. There is no similar choice that a non-magical character would have to make.

aye, but to counter that the blood they spend will have greater effects and more possibilities by which i mean there will be many more powers in the Tremera's arsenal and they will have more pronounced effects. So a Gangerl who is apt at vampyric fortitude and is a warrior with natural high endurance/defense can be countered by a Tremera who uses blood magic to shield himself from all damage for say 10 sec, etc. etc. and than cuases the Gangerls own blood to boil and explode

Plus, worse case senerio i can just either change it depending on the responses when it's released or make a simple patch

so how are things goin?

well here are a few screens of some of the new architecture. Now remember ur not seeing it all since i wan't some thing to a be a surprise but at least you guys can see i am actually working on it lol...

what i haven't shown you are much of the interiors, the Bonn mine, the new crypts added underneath each cities chapel, the addition to th IC sewers, and more but hopefully this is enough to wet your tongue.

later 2night or 2morrow i'll post some screens of the Perfect Pleasures exterior as well as the Genovese Villa and the magical Madalas Chantry

EDIT: just noticed the pictures of skingrads elysium kinda svck so i'll post some better ones soon )

well gr8 to know things r movin and thnx alot for the screens

Yes, my appetite is quite... wetted.

wow, everything looks great. Keep up the good work. :tops:

Wow, this sounds awesome. I can't wait to see it fully finished. I'd also love to see some more screen-shots, and reviews from other people. (Mostly because I've had bad experiences with mods not working...)

Looks damn good there. Any word on Abominable Form/Claw/etc meshes?

i have the abominable form meshes but there are some minor issues i need to fix nothing major

the feral form is complete and Sinblood is texturing it as time permits

i'm still building more [censored] architecture lol, and i've gathered all the resources that i need for my planned npcs

i'm still moving along great and i still love doing it, however, i entered the TESA Halloween mod competition so while i'll still be working on this, things may slow down a little this month...but every single day i add/alter something so i can whittle away at it while i work on my Halloween room

oh, and i just remember i need to upload some more pictures that i promised of the exteriors, etc. :facepalm:

Srry if i sound impatient but any news lately?

[censored] man, i just post pic a week ago :blink: lol

right now i'm doing little things here and there but much of my time is divided between work, school, home, and the TESA Halloween mod challenge

but yes there, progress, i'll even post some new pic of the exterior 2morrow

'aight, here some shots of the Genovese Villa, located north of Bravil

as you can see it's a rather large and self-sufficient estate B)

Beautifull! are the Genovese kinda Italian like? cause their buildings really look Italian ^^ anyway, just a little question.. which are the 'Gothic' kinda Vampires? the Coven?

Edit: typo

bump for a vote of confidence!

The villa looks great except for the flat white walls. Have those yet to be textured, or are they textured, and we just can't see it because of the flat/bright lighting of the editor window?

Wow, very nice indeed. Great atmosphere.

they're textured and i think it looks great ingame, the CS just makes it bright for some reason...that being said, if the beta testers (whenever i get to that stage lol) say its too bright ingame i'll just darken the texture a bit

@valis123, thnx for the compliment ...think of the Genovese clan as the mafia of the vampire world, and the clan that is more "gothic" would be the Tzimitze

guess i'll make a new thread now since we're nearing the limit :foodndrink:

EDIT: thnx kostresa!

k, here we go!
