I keep hearing talk that they are looking into tweaking the vampire's appearance. Hopefully these rumors are true since I'd love to see them get fangs and what-not.

I hope so.

So because you hate deathly pale skin with red eyes, they should change it.

Gotcha.

It's nice to have a problem that very easily can be solved with options already available ingame. I wish the retcon of how stages function throughout Elder Scrolls had a similar and easy solution

Wait they did say that they were looking into the appearances?

If so, that's very great news! I think it'd be a missed opportunity if NPC vamps get these high-res, cool looking vamp stages and we still have our outdated looking one.

(snip) people are saying when they want them to change how vampires look. NO ONE IS SAYING they wont still be pale and have red eyes.

But it can certainly look waaaaay better. At the moment, it looks outdated. Look at Skyrim. When Dawnguard came out, they updated how vampires look.

Personally, I would think one such as yourself would want to look more like your canon counterparts :thinking:

Anyways, yeah, I think vampires should have the glowing eyes like they do in Skyrim and should have a better texture than just pasty white and pale in 2014 graphics. No one is saying they won't still be pale with red eyes.

I love the pale skin and red eyes but the horrid looking eyes of the stage 4 while not being to fond of the stage 3 eyes. I'd like if they changed it to where stage 2 eyes are used for stage three and four.

Vampires should be forced to choose between Fighters guild skill line or being a Vampire. Vampires with Dawnbreaker, what the hell?

I REALLY hope the as yet unknown new ability is a freakin' gap closer like every NPC vamp in the game already has!!!

ZOS are damned if they change the look and damned if they don’t. I’d hate any change to stage 3 and 4 as would many others. But there are an equal amount who want it to change.

Hard to find a compromise here when it all boils down to personal preference, no right or wrong here.

Fighter's Guild are a neutral guild and a mercenary focused group. The fighters guild skill line is a form of specialized training meant to deal with the crisis going on and likely put into place by Sees-all-Colors.
Also In Skyrim even a Vampire could use Dawnbreaker though its effects might not be very pleasant if you use it on other undead but still able to be used by the Last Dragonborn even as a vampire. Sees all Colors just likely taught a spell that calls on the essence of the artifact for a few moments but it isn't the artifact and anyone can cast spells even vampires. It would likely be safer for a vampire to use since its like casting magic. Instead of wielding a physical artifact.

Even vampires can use so called holy spells since really there isn't any such thing because all spells draw upon the energy of Aetherius. It is the source of all magic and were every type of Magicka abilties like Vampiric abilties and Templar Abilities are drawn from. So the idea they can't use the Dawn Breaker Ult because well they are a vampire is not really lore friendly. Since Dawnbreaker we have access to is a form of daily spell or spell. The Energy to cast it still comes from Aetherius the place where all magicka comes from. The same source of magicka that vampire abilities draw upon.
