Vampires In Oblivion, Vampires Options

[Aki]

Yeah, I was thinking infection as a mod instead of being an ingame feature. As for feeding obviously it would be a bit more difficult than just a stealth attack and in a way that doesn't drain them dry (if it can be helped).

Feeding i can see done in three ways;

A sneaky grab + bite

A brutual grab in combat, where one tears off anything in the way and sinks their fangs into the throat

Or the stereotypical "Lure 'm off and feed on them" deal.

You know, I've never played a vampire in morrowind.. Hmm am I missing anything?

I've played a werewolf though, much fun I must say =)

Vampirism in morrowind was a little dry so in my opinion you didn't miss anything. There are obvious good sides to becoming a vampire, boosts in several skill but it is ruined by the inability to disguise yourself. Nobody besides your own clan likes you, so it's not that great.

Yeah, biting animation and sneakiness is what being a vampire is all about (well, besides the fangs, I mean) to me. Something like in the animations in that Vampire Bloodlines game would interesting to see.

I also think there should be more interesting clans, like in Vampire Bloodlines game or the pen and paper game, White Wolf's World of Darkness. Not just stealth clan, combat clan, and magic clan like in Morrowind. That's just.. too boring and straightforward.

Yeah I was thinking it could be like Bloodlines also, Iwas a big fan of that game. As for vampirism you didn't miss anything, the quests sucked, bad perks, and the skill enhancements was the only real good thing they had.

[Aki]

Yeah.

Vampirism in MW was much improved with mods like Vampire Embrace.

I liked tearing people's throats out.

[MerGirl]

Yeah.

Well, since they included Necromancy and seemed to be concentrating on the storylines (factions, infamous reputation, etc), hopefully, the devs will put more effort into the vampire society (clans, etc) part of it. *crosses fingers* I'm always hoping. But, luckily, since I use PC, there are always mods to look forward to! Yummy!

[Kiln]

Yeah well people like me who will get the X-360 version have to hope that such things are implemented before launch because there aren't any mods for the console version.

[Intestinal Chaos]

Vampires aren't very important to Oblivion like in Morrowind. They were going to add more stuff to vampires in Morrowind but they needed to make their due date. Vampires are all just gravy unfortunaly and Oblivion seems to be perilously close to it's deadline as well. But hey what do I know, I haven'y played it yet.

"Todd then decides to have his character steal several items from the sleeping store owner, telling us that the NPC schedules come in handy for vampires and thieves - most NPCs always sleep at night, offering creatures of the night the chance to strike. " -E3 Demo

Hmmmn, perhaps they do have Vampires in mind in Oblivion.....

[Intestinal Chaos]

Yeah.

A favorite of mine with Vampire's Embrace was making Ordinators (the ones with names) into vampires... that was great.

[Kiln]

There's a mod where you can make other people into vampires? Too bad my computer won't run it...
*Cough*triple post*Cough*

That's the Vampire Embrace mod Aki had just mentioned above. *points* Yeah, that mod definitely improved some aspects of vampires. (I haven't downloaded it yet, because I have too many mods at the moment. )

I know of one mod that has a whole vamp underground but I forgot ther name of it. sorry

Well, the only two "underground" mods I can think of is: 'Suran Underground' (I think it's called that), which is like a some sort of custom faction that is very vampire-friendly.
Then, there is Qarl's 'The Underground', which is sort of a really big, complex quest thing (underground, of course), in which you can have a romantic relationship with a vampire of the opposite sex. Along the way, you can find other friendly vampires, or something similar, and it has some interesting animations.

There are many vampiric mods out there, which is a good thing.

Well I haven't downloaded it yet because I can't...
My copy of MW is on the Xbox so I can't really look forward to mods anyways, whats bad is I know what I'm missing. But it would be cool to have a mod where you can infect people with vampirism.

[xxMehrunes_Dagonxx]

i think they will have vampires.

[Intestinal Chaos]

i think they will have vampires.

Well... yeah... ummm... they already admitted that...
