Vampire skin fix

✭✭✭
Would really like some skin that just hides the dirty vamp look. Adios my sun tan!
Some skins could do the trick but you either got acne or fish scales...damn
Hopefully we’ll see something with the revamp?

__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

Anony_Mouse✭✭✭✭i really dislike how tattoos etc seem to sit UNDER the vamp skin. They shouldnt fade and grey out but stay black/whatever colour. Looks like a layering issue.

marten_philip✭✭✭Okay..
I believe I'm one of few who thinks they shouldn't change the vampire skintones/details at all.
I believe it's part of being a vampire and it's something you should keep inconsideration when you choose to become one.
It's fine for what it is now, and as long as you keep your vampirism on a low rank the repercussions (visually) will be minimal.
But I'm a player who cares little for aesthetics and more for the game play I'm not too picky or obsessed of mimmiccing the millionth Dremora outfit or buying every new mount that gets released in the crown store.
Infact I'm using the undead zombie horse I'm probaly not the only player who owns it, but I sure am one of the extreme minorities that actually use it, for it is hideous and sore sight to behold.
But that makes it charming fitting for a vampire or any regular ol Necromancer player.
And if you're only picking vampire for the perks and min-maxxing stats than you should simply accept the downsides to it.
Like all of our parents once told us when we were all kids, you can only have 1 candy bar not both.

Salix_alba✭✭✭✭I didn't spend as long as I did in character creation only to have the lighting be wrong and have to remake myriad toons just to then make them ugly with the vampire look I would also like a way to hide the preserve the toons original apperance0 -
Legate_Lanius✭✭✭Easy solution: don't be a vamp. There. Problem solved.
I could make a fine vampire with one mod, because for some reason TES games always make the vampire PC fugly, meanwhile you see good looking vampires ages old like Harkon and his court, Serana and Valeria, the count in Oblivion...
Why should I lose my tan/black skin if I become a vampire? Blade looked badass and didn’t looked like a hungry mongrel either. 😁 It’s fine if they leave the vanilla look but at least they should give us options, that’s all I ask and the more options we have the happier people will be overall.Edited by Legate_Lanius on February 6, 2020 12:07AM4 -
marten_philip✭✭✭Ah yes, And I want the werewolf form perks but not the appeal.
Because I knew what I was getting myself in to and I don't want to get rid of the bonuses but I do want to look and feel special.
You're like that special girl you always had a crush on, but she always had some moral issues where she demanded equal rights and special treatment at the same time, for after all she is a lady.
Point being, you can't have the one without the other.
It's part of being a vampire, it's in the game, it's natural, it's logical.
Afterall you're an undead body, you should become more pale and less attractive by today's beauty standards, I can only imagine how a vampire would actually smell so be glad games don't have any odor tech yet.
You stike me as a person who would throw a tantrum after getting a black iphone 11 pro max instead of a white one for your birthday.
This annoys me, this really annoys me.
You knew the risks now toughen up and take it for what it is.
In the end it's all imaginary and no one cares what tattoos your fictional characters has.
Just be grate full you're not turning in to a nosferatu type vampire, although I would appreciate that over your sparkle twilight vampire fantasy.

devaneiosonho✭✭✭Yeah, I'm really hoping for some changes regarding this stupid decision.
If vampires were so easy to spot, they wouldn't even exist. Besides, I like my tattoos.0 -
I've mentioned it often to guildies and others, but damn I'd love for them to default to the same look they had in the Skyrim vampire DLC (I mean they are heavily referencing Skyrim with this next story so it makes sense and it looks WAY better than the TB afflicted look currently)

devaneiosonho✭✭✭Yeah, I agree. It just looks stupid to me when you're OBVIOUSLY a vampire, but no one seems to care or even notice.
Try walking around as a vampire playing Morrowind. Now THAT is a welcome party you'll expect as a red-eyed vampire.Edited by devaneiosonho on February 5, 2020 9:09PM0 -

MrGhosty✭✭✭✭✭I don't care if the skin makes me look monsterous, i'd just like it to be a well made skin which the tier 4 vamp skin is not. The tattoos issue also is an annoyance. I don't think the tattoo issue can be fixed without a rework of the channels their skins seem to use though."It is a time of strife and unrest. Armies of revenants and dark spirits manifest in every corner of Tamriel. Winters grow colder and crops fail. Mystics are plagued by nightmares and portents of doom."3 -

There's a lot of launch era textures that could use some love. Unfortunately, Stage 3 and 4 vampire are among them.0 -
T08145✭✭You are all crazy, the sith vampire thing looks awesome, the textures are high resolution, the way the red eyes fade to white, it's perfect. Maybe you need to get better at creating your characters to look good as a vampire.

Dude, my preferences are to have 5 skins, one for each stage and mortal that we can pick and choose from, overriding whatever our character would look like. I want more options.

Since when is vampirism about what you want? The whole design of it in elder scrolls is that it's a curse to make your life an unliving hell, designed by Molag Bal to spite Arkay, creating chaos among the living by forcing people to eat each other and if they try not to, they become starving deranged crackheads who also get stronger so they are more of a threat to everyone around them.Edited by ZOS_GregoryV on February 6, 2020 2:08AM3 -

Welcome to ESO, where Vampirism is a potential build element. This is not a single player game where your decisions only affect you and your experiences. Here, your decision to be a vampire (or werewolf) can be an asset (or liability) to the players you're playing with.
Vampire can be a very valuable tool in your arsenal. At that point, the cosmetic discussion becomes very relevant.Edited by ZOS_GregoryV on February 6, 2020 2:11AM1 -

That's a direct contradiction, the gameplay / build relevance of it has nothing to do with your visuals. No one in your group cares or even ever notices what your character looks like.1 -
marten_philip✭✭✭People should step away from the idea of vampires being attractive looking creatures.
You've been influenced by Hollywood waaaaay too much.
And even the skyrim vampires had pale complexions and odd facial expression.
Except for a few specific character in dawn guard which got the pretty filter enabled to attract more teenage boys in to buying it.
Want some vampire reference on to what vampires first thought to look like?
Watch the original Nosferatu ( 1922 ) and you'll see it could be worse.
This bickering is just people demanding full bonuses but none of the consequences the boomer mentality.2 -
1mirg✭✭✭✭✭
Actually they've been influenced by D&D as Vampires there look rather attractive and based on the lore for that product the orgins for Vampires are still relatively unknown over there but what is known is that a Succubus can turn one into a "true vampire" if they use their "draining kiss" on a person that they didnt wish to kill and said person was strong enough to survive it then they'll be become a vampire, a powerful one at that. This is why in most products that have vampires attach "power" to "how attractive" the vampire looks, as that's essentially what you'll become if you became one through a succubus.marten_philip wrote: »People should step away from the idea of vampires being attractive looking creatures.

I'm not sure though if this logic would work with the elder scroll lore as the origins for vampires here are known to have come from Lamae Bal who only became one after Molag Bal had his way with her. So the attractiveness part for Vampires could be argued to have originate from how Lamae became one? Maybe?
Regardless though, no matter what you might think about "vampires" there link to "attractiveness" have always been there. It's just something that comes with being a vampire, pretty much. Unless you decide to revamp it into your own thing that is. Which is fine but then you'll essentially just be a hairless werewolf which isn't suppose to look attractive.Edited by 1mirg on February 6, 2020 4:32AM┬┴┬┴┬┴┬┴┬┴┬┴┤ ⅽ[ː̠̈ː̠̈ː̠̈] ͌ ├┬┴┬┴┬┴┬┴┬┴┬┴1 -

Again with the Hollywood ***? Bram Stoker's Dracula was an attractive vampire and he is the biggest symbol of vampirism we have. Everybody knows Dracula, but perhaps you're saying Bram Stoker was also influenced by Hollywood, yes? At the 19th century, hmm?
I already wrote this, but for some reason one mod thought it was offensive. Oh well.

bellatrixed✭✭✭✭✭I will never understand why some people are opposed to there being OPTIONS for vampire appearance. Literally the only reason to protest is out of some weird spite where you want to ruin people's fun for playing a vampire because (vague reasons about why vampires are lame so the players should suffer).
Personally, I'm okay with the stages themselves, but I despise how the makeup and tattoos are hidden UNDER THE SKIN. If you draw a tattoo on a corpse, or put eyeliner or lipstick on it, it won't be some weird hazy blue color. There's absolutely no reason why a game that flings cosmetics everywhere should make them look so ugly just because someone's a vamp.ESO Roleplay | RP community for all factions/servers/platforms1 -
StormeReigns✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Even myths and legends have vampires of different cultures range from horrendously hideous, to described as the perfection of beauty.
Even Hollywood has used plenty of ugly for vampires. There is no one single and accurate depiction of what one looks like, so it doesnt matter, just it being a non issue.5
