The Vampire Scion Form

As much as it breaks my heart the people wanting a Vampire Lord form have won, but then when I started thinking about the lore reasons I guess it makes sense. Lamae is a daughter of Coldharbour and the Volkihar vampires who are purebloods, or close to purebloods, had the power to take on the Vampire Lord form.

So moving on from that how do you think ZOS will implement this into the game? I personally think it'll be like the werewolves where they have their own separate skill tree, but then I remembered something. Remember how in Skyrim where you have magic powers while hovering and while on the ground you attacked with claws and fang? If they implement that mechanic here I can see both stamina and magicka builds taking advantage of the Scion form they talked about on the stream. Maybe even make it where your regeneration of magicka stops in magicka form and vice versa, but heavy attacking in stamina form quickly regenerates magicka and heavy attacking in magicka form regenerates stamina. Would certainly throw a wrench in things.

These are just my opinions and ideas though so what do you all think about this? What are your theories on how they'll implement this into the game while still keeping things like the werewolf skill line relevant?
((Also sorry if there is already a thread about this very thing out there.))

    Apparently it's not the Skyrim vampire Lord, but something completely different. Still a transformation but there is still hope it resembles nothing like the volkihar vampire Lord. Harkon and his crew are not in the expansion.

    100% it will be direct copy of the vampire lord form seen in the trailer, or otherwise a close resemblance to the one wielded by the Dragonborn in TES:V

    Unfortunately, but I'm absolutely certain that will be the case.

    That's something I was hoping at least. One of my friends told me they looked exactly the same as the Volkihar Vampire Lord but I'm not sure whether that's correct or not since I have not seen it with my own two eyes. Here's to hoping its different.

    Thinking it won't look like the vampire lord model or at least similar is very silly. I would be very surprised if they put all of this effort into a vampire lord model only to not have it be very close to the thing we turn into.

    Also again, vampire lord is not affected by bloodline. It wouldn't matter if harkon is in the game or not.

    I hope after rework there will be actual vampire combat skills (in lord form or not, doesnt matter), not just utility skills we have atm.

    I mean visually it as close as it gets to Skyrim version.

    Unfortunate they couldn't be more original.

    Did they mention that the players will actually be able to? I wasn't listening that well during the stream but that's disappointing. I had hoped we'd get something more interesting than hissing vampires and edgelords.

    Transformation elite confirmed. Also definitely not vampire lords, cos players won't be joining Harkon. Lamae Bal's follower abilities are being reworked.

    Appearance I wouldn't care to bet on yet. While I wouldn't expect them to look like vampire lords, this is still power derived from Molag Bal and he's not big on beauty.
    Harkon and his crew are not in the expansion.

    Those look like Harkon-type vampire lord wings at the end of the trailer.

    I don't think we've ever seen the wings without the face also being transformed but I wouldn't rule Harkon and crew out.

    Just hope it wont turn my female chars into "males" during the transformation, that you can tell the difference between a male and a female char...

    IIrc Skyrim vampire lords had a separate female model. So I hope it will be the same in the new chapter.
