Mesmerize does not work 90% of the time

Oathunbound

So as a stage four vamp a vast majority of npcs both merchant and random grey npcs wont interact with you at stage 4. But the work around with casting mesmerize is also not working. On merchants it seems to work more than others but for killable/non quest related npcs mesmerize does not work at all. Even when facing the target and being point balnk, or even at any range mesmerize does not let you be able to talk with them. So the vast majority of interactable npcs is limited and the green names npcs are random in weather they would talk to you, merchants will not nor bankers but quest givers and random event green named npcs will. either fix mesmerize or just ditch this mech all together, it was kind of a neat concept but when 90% of the npcs can tell you are a vampire and the guards just don't seem to care in any way shape or form, even when you are effectively messing with people minds out in the open its just feels half baked.


TLDR: the new way to interact with npcs when at stage four does not current work most of the time if at all and either needs fixed or removed

I reported this as a bug on the PTS for several patches in a row. Not surprised it's still not working.

It was pointed out in pts. All feedback was either ignored, or they did minimal changes. I think, I read, that they increased radius for few percents for this skill. Apparently, it was not enough, but there is little incentive to stay stage 4 anyway.

Ah, yes. Oblivion vampire flashbacks.

Was reported on pts but don't hold your breath for any fixes.

Me either. At this point I'm here for the Elder Memes Online. It's a dumpster fire.

I remember seeing the report that mesmerize was not working when cast on merchant and banker npcs but that i thought it only pertained to merchant/bankers that were behind a counter or something of that nature. I did not test that particular feature on pts because i did not want to spoil myself on the quests but i did not realize how broken this mechanic was

Go to your lovely Coldharbour for those merchants never being scared of human mosquitos. EZ solution here.
