Why is it, that vampire feed does no harm?

Tapio75

Yeah, been bugging me since forever.

i mean it IS pretty big trauma, when someone sucks that much blood out of you and yet, it does not seem to do anything exept stun.

Yet it gives bounty, one can murder without getting caught, but vampires who are supposedly masters of disguise and whatnot, get a boubnty and not to mention as high, as if you killed someone, wheres the balance? Wheres the pitchforks?


Also, i would like to note, that now that DB has shown us, that they can do pretty great murder animations, i think its time to get the vampire bite a litle more like a bite too, not just some magical vacuum over air.. Would be nice to have as good animatyuns to vampire feed as it is with blade of woe.

They should be dead or at least get infected

Honestly vampires should be attacked on sight by any guards, ALL the time.

And no NPC should want to deal with them ever. Including guild Traders.

Just see to what lengths things go (as far as dissimulation and etc... go) in the Rivenspire arc. I'm not even talking about other TES titles here.

So yeah, be happy all you get is a tiny bounty easily disregarded.

It's not about the bounty. It's just odd and I agree. When I was first a vampire it was very surprising to feed and have the victim turn around and punch me.

Have you ever seen anything like that before? Even in Blade no one takes a bite like a champ like that

I liked the Vampire mod for Skyrim, that made it so, that stage 1 Vampire was normal looking with just a hint of paleness which was commented by any NPC.. Then when at Stage 4 Guards attack and everyone flees in terror.. That was good and i think MMO could also pull that off .

Vampire hunters would be nice occasional disruption on Normal too.

Not dead but at least weakened and slowed, losing that much blood usually has major consequences on a person.

I think, that after the stun ends, they should flee in terror, maybe some more brave folks could attack in weakened state, people like some guards..

If you escape while the victim is stunned, you dont get bounty either unless a mudcrab sees you, mudcrabs are tough!

I feel you then again the stealth system in this game reeks of rotten cow manure and it's poorly implemented

I guess its about the PVP aspect... otherwise I could sneak over... start feeding and watch for like 9 seconds as my three friends hack you...defenceless...to bits

edit note -
and you would be all but ruined by the feeding as they bludgeon you to death - as it stands with no damage, a chance is still there for you

But you can't feed on players unless at a vampire shrine, nor can you feed at all in PvP zones

Feeding as a vampire should act just like the blade of woe - it kills the target and if nobody sees you there is no bounty.

Hmm..

I guess better system would be, that when one starts to feed at stage 4, the legth of feed determines whether theres just health loss or should the victim die.. If you feed yo stage 1, the victim dies. Each stage is a one quarter of victims health.

Experience loss should be bit less than when using blade of voe, since the feeding takes considerably longer and you have a greater risk of being seen by mudcrabs.

In all cases, if nobody sees the feeding, you get no bounty. You can only feed relative to vampire stage, no feeding at stage 1, stage 3, you can take 3 quarters of health and so on.. So the feeding damage should work somewhat the same as a fall damage. Not determined by damage value, but by percentage of the health bar.
