I really do love Vampires in eso

bloodthirstyvampire

I really do love them, they have such a deep long and interesting history mostly bad, but that just makes me love them even more, lamae bal is my favorite Vampire with such a tragic past plus being the first Vampire ever, but I really wish zos would explore and develop Vampires a little content wise,

Oh stop your whining.

Vampire players complain so much in this game, but they get the upper hand over werewolves 10 fold. It's repulsing to see, the devs clearly favor them over werewolves or even just being normal. That fie damage weakness is easily negated with someone who knows how to play, Vampires are a free pass to easier regain.

I'm not sure if I have encountered any vampires yet definitely not werewolves. I'm still new to the game.

@coop500 Don't get your panties/jockey shorts in a bunch! This thread is about story, not about who is more over-powered or who has better skills. And, just so you know........I have never once complained about pretty much anything! I like my vamps. I like the way they look. I would just like to see more content on the vampire storyline.

maboleth

I totally agree, the whole story, environments and a quest around vampires are amazing! So much lore, I love how much time Bethesda took to make them believable and deep.

Hmm. Vampires get an entire region in Rivenspire, plus the most Gary Stu dev-favorite NPC around Verandis Ravenwatch. Werewolves get an entire region in Malabal Tor to play the lovelorn jerk who won't take NO for an answer.

Sounds like equal storytime.

Seriously though, Verandis Ravenwatch was the most annoying NPC to ever claim to be on my side. Rant under the spoiler.

The entire mess in Rivenspire is more or less his fault because he lacks the strength of his convictions to tell Baron Montclair NO. Then, he continues to be completely genre-blind and naive while the hero is busy fixing every problem he inadvertently caused. The village right below his castle has a blood-curse placed on it and its inhabitants massacred while he feasts and plays with his vampires right next to them without lifting a finger to help. That's a really competent and caring Vaampire overlord for you right there. Oh, and in the final fight, he leads everyone into a trap that I saw coming a mile away, and then, most annoyingly of all, ZOS makes him the hero by letting him sacrifice himself to take the cursed artifact to Molag Bal. The argonain may have been the villain, but Verandis laid the groundwork for everything that went wrong and he completely escapes the consequences. Veranis Ravenwatch was an annoying Gary Stu dev-favorite and he's the reason I hate Rivenspire. Its one thing to let Martin Septim steal the show in TES VI: Oblivion. I detest letting Count Verandis do it here.

Agree, also the VA was a poor choice and does a mediocre job.

I'm just annoyed that drinking blood is detrimental for vampires as you actually loose power and access to passives.

Its always been that way for vampires in Elder Scrolls. The hungrier you are the more you get both the strengths and weaknesses of a vampire. Its one of their twists on vampires. Just be thankful its not TES IV: Oblivion where the sun would fry you to a crisp during advanced phases.

Publius_Scipio

Well, I always wondered why don’t vampires get a transformation to something like the vampire lord creature from Skyrim? Werewolves already turn into drooling dogs in ESO. Current vampire stages in ESO look more drug abuser than blood sucker imo.

You definitely have. Go first person view and look at players’ faces as they run around. If any of them look like they went to Colorado and spent a week smoking and eating Cheetos and Fritos, they are vampires.

Ghettokid

Cool. This might come as a surprise but I love Orcs.

But ZOS are way more likely not to "waste" resources on a DLC only vampire lovers might buy, so any vampire content will have to me something they think would appeal to everyone... and since they already went for a good deal of vampy storylines (The hunters in grahtwood, the blood for the king in eastmarch, the graveyard in coldharbour and the whole friggin rivenspire questline) they may not be all too inclined to go there anytime soon... market saturation and all that, weighing the vampire lovers who'd pay for such a DLC against the ones who might go "Meh, yet another bloodsucker story? Nah..." and instead invest in DLCs that might draw -everyone- equally for maximum profit.

Still who knows? Maybe they will make a special "spooky stuff" DLC for next witches festival?
I could see them make a "mixed PvE/PvP" region someday, where you have a PvE story, but also PvP between not alliances, but vampires, werewolves and mortals... that might be fun, and new enough to draw more then just the vampy-lovers...

Me, I would much rather see them add more "world skill line" options for players tho... maybe add some other type of "undead" so people can play liches/death knights (depending on magica/stamina build), or some type of religious imbuement incompartible with vampirism and lycantropy for those who officially want to take pride in being mortals, or whatever. but that is a different discussion, to be had elsewhere...

Whoa... sensitive much..

AtraisMachina2

I think they should do something cash grabby with vampires. Like only be able to obtain it in the criwn store. Or like lowering your stage costed crowns. So many people are obsessed with vampires. Like 80% of new players i run into thats the first thing they ask. How do i bea vampire? Nerds go watch some twilight

TheValar85

i would galdy become a vampire if i can turn the ugly body skin off

1. Best vamp background slash lore slash fluff I've ever seen was in Warhammer Fantasy. Err...before they blew up the world (pretty much literally) and started over with a new universe using the same characters.

Just for the record.

Although I suppose I ought to give White Wolf points for originality. Still - the old-edition undead fluff was some of the best writing outside of actual novelizations the team had done, in my opinion.

2. I think that ZOS could pull off a vampire-centric DLC so long as it wasn't...vampire-centric.

What I mean is - presently, the DC main quest line already features an entire area where you are essentially helping some "good" vampires take down some "bad" vampires (...turned into vampires to begin with by one of the "good" vampires...). So you have multiple NPCs and bosses, original locations, a separate storyline, and all fairly vampire-centric.

Skyrim, if memory serves, also had something along those lines. I distinctly remember multiple trips to a vampire keep in the lower right corner of the map. Also having to cure myself from fighting so many of the bloodsuckers.

The point is - we had standalone DLCs covering assassins, thieves, drow cosplayers...why not vampires? The player is summoned by a mysterious stranger to go...somewhere, start out as a sort of a help-noble-recover-castle type of thing, encounter "good" and "bad" vampires, side with one or the other...for heaven's sake, just recycle the Skyrim plotline if that's what it takes. Thoroughly doable, I think, but of course the question becomes what is actually on ZOS's planning sheet in terms of new content.

I kinda wish vampire eaters were in the elder scrolls lore >.> so many twilight jokes.

You are quenches my thirst for the Love of the vampires and smooth me from keep devouring your essence.

I actually miss this weakness.
It would bring so much more dynamism to being a vampire, and would make the cost/benefit worth it.
It would also open up opportunities for Z0$ to build underground caverns, passageways, and other "vampire society" situations that would make them all the more appealing.

But no, instead they catered to the typical snowflake-whiner and made them Twilight-vamps without the sparkle.

Or because it's an mmo and being unable to rest a day till night time isn't possible and being unable to do trials/pvp in daytime would be tedious. But apparently hardcore rp>gameplay to you.

In singleplayer games it's fine but not a mmo

Oh cry me a river.
3 hour day cycle means you have 1.5 hours of time to blast folks in PvP during the night.
Daytime trials? So, a specific trial is set perpetually in daytime? Sounds like a developer oversight to me. Perhaps they should fix that...
As for resting, whats the point? Just keep yourself fed for a whopping 1.5 hours (the current stages last nearly 5 hours...so no excuse there) or feel the burn.
No one ever said Vampirism was for the feint of heart.
Whiners make great blood-bags.
