Agreed lol I always seem to play as a vampire either later on in the game or I try to get to become one right away even if I didn't think it was done correctly or that well in Oblivion

Yea first thing I always do is the dark brotherhood quests when I come right out of the sewers. Then I get bitten by vincent as fast as I can.

lol ya and accually even tho its kinda confusing at times to start the quest the last time I went straight for the Order quests or whatever where you go into the cave that just happens to be filled with vampires XD idk it made for a better role play for me anyways hahah

I seem to be the direct opposite.
I usually do the Brotherhood last, never get bitten and enjoy killing Vincent.
I never liked being shunned by the community or drinking someone else's blood. It's just kinda creepy.

One of the best things which I just did recently is when the virtuous blood society wanted to me too kill all the vampire for them even though I was at a 100 vampirism. I was wondering if they were going to notice. But I hope in skyrim these quests go differently if your a vampire. Lets say besides they coming to asking you to kill for them instead your walking down the road and they want to kill you.

My deepest apologies Miss LunarWolf...

Ya there was alot of the things that were done...oddly like how you got stronger if you didn't drink blood yet the only thing i can agree with is if you ddin't feed you showed your true nature (hated looking old) but really as long as you feed on people you would not be shunned at all by the community, I happen to like the taste of blood irl, I don't "drink it" but when i was younger and got a cut on my arm or whatever i tended to have licked it and liked the taste :shrug:


XD ya I know that was....odd for me, like I was REALLY hoping that they would be like "wait but we hardly see u in the daylight now that we think about it" or "OMFG YOUR A VAMPIRE, KILL KILL!!" you something to show that they notice but maybe not as goofy like that O_O like kinda like how in MW no matter how scripted that everyone knew when you were a werewolf i you transformed near them than they saw, yet i could feed on a hobo in OB while a guard walks down the road right next to me in eye view and do nothing about it..

hehe its ok

They should change not the whole game but there should certain quests that change. Same goes for werewolves. Also I only played oblivion. I hate playing computers games. And I hate pcs but thats for a different topic. The taste of blood irl is quite iron like.

MW was for the orginal xbox as well you know? plays pretty decent on 360 tho there are some issues

I also hate PCs so I understand, yes blood is iron like but idk i like it O_O I would try and say it tastes sweet but i cant really say that maybe salty? lol

Ya some quest that would change would be good

One more thing too. In oblivion they sometimes had those human blood potions. In wasnt a potion but it was human blood. I wished it cured vampirism though too. Instead it weakens luck and other stuff.

I imagine if blood was all you could keep down, it'd probably start to taste like a...heady tomato soup or something after a while. Anyway, vampires have been popular pretty much forever. Not sure why anyone would be confused as to why people like them.

I absolutely hated vanilla vampires (feeding makes me weaker? whatlol) so I installed LTD's vampire mod. Allows shape shifting, epic vampire powers, etc. I hope Bethesda does something similar with the Volkihar in Skyrim.

Yes, I agree, when I found that I was like "kool now when a guard searches me if I stole something they would wonder why i had human blood vials on me" but of course it never got brought up and it never restored your health, its like why did Beth even add in half of this stuff if they did it so bad ???O___O

lol I would guess so hahah

Ya I Hated how it made you weaker, really wish I enjoyed PC gaming because I love ALOT of the mod ideas and hope that they add in some of the great ideas people have

Another thing I dont like. If I dont eat I get stronger and weaker? Worse sun damage but I can one punch stuff lol. Fire hurts me but a sword doesnt. I think it should be one or the other. You dont feed. You are stronger but no one will talk to you at all and you will be considered a pest and lower than the beggars. You feed and your normal looking to an extent.

Ya and thats what I agree with as well *alot of agreeing tonight lol*
if you feed you should get stronger and look more normal to blend in
If you Don't feed than you should get weaker in every thought like sun damage and strength and people start to see you are a vampire which would give you more of a reason to Feed...But than again I wished that I could pounce on someone as well in battle and drink from them hope thats in Skyrim lol

That's exactly what I want. If the Volkihar are in (I'm assuming there'd be rage if they weren't), I want to be able to drain somebody mid-battle to replenish health. Also, I'm curious about how they'll implement that whole "lake grabbing" thing the vampires in Skyrim are famous for.

Lake grabbing? As you can see I signed up on this site not 2 hours ago for the reason to learn more about skyrim. Care to explain?

'Course. There was a book in Oblivion by the name of "Immortal Blood" that goes over the various types of vampires in different regions of Tamriel. One such type are the "Volkihar Clan", a group native to Skyrim who apparently stay away from civilization and make vast frozen lakes their home. Apparently they reach through the ice (perhaps through magicka, or literally) and drag their victims into the icy deep.

I want that. If I dont have that I will rage. And if they dont have it now its your fault thatonenwah because you told me about how awesome it is lol.

Rofl, I'll be sure to sleep with one eye open and a stake under my bed . I'm sure they'll be in though, an enemy like that would create a palpable terror whenever crossing a frozen lake in Skyrim lol.

Depends on what side your on now :hubbahubba: . For me its protection and back up. For you its the 7th level of hell lol.

As someone who hates anime and is very much interested in the occult (particularly the real history behind it, rather than movies set in modern times) I'd have to say that's a fairly tenuous link. While there are animes that deal with vampires and werewolves, it's probaly about the same percent as western media. Giant robots, and schoolgirls are much more strongly representative of that particular genre.

And as far as "not necessary" the game would be fairly boring without any of that kind of feature. So while melee combat > vampires or magic use > vampires, I could not say trolls > vampires, or even dragons > vampires, although I'm sure many people would (not nearly all of them, though).

They are good as high level monsters, being more powerful than natural foes, and as I've said before are well represented across history and cultures. Also, because both monsters are human in nature, it adds that special twist. And being able to play as one is actually one thing that can be used to define TES from other RPGS...there are other games that let you play a vampire, but none that let you choose if that is a vampire archer, swordsman, mage, live in an open world, and eventually get cured.

Support. :goodjob:

My like in those things are not connected if someone thinks i started liking werewolves and vampires cuz of anime than they are wrong
I started reading the Real History about it and thats how i found out that people were being accused of being vampires and werewolves, kinda like the witch trials and I looked them up more and more, I just happen to like the modern LOOK to it like werewolvs being more beast than mine, (think dog soldiers) and vampires being normal looking when they feed but something to be scared and want to run from when they show their true nature.
