So, besides the negatives people are saying about the vampire changes, (Which I am indifferent towards), what caught my eye is the fact that vampire hunters are a thing now. This just got interesting! What are you guys' thoughts on this as well as merchants refusing to speak to you on certain stages?

✭Adds some flavor to the game. Would have been interesting to have a vampire/werewolf hunters guild of sorts like Dawnguard or the Vigilants of Stendarr. The notes mention them hunting vampires but I wonder if they junt werewolves as well?2 -

✭✭✭✭It's in the patch notes - says that if you are a vampire you may be accosted by vampire hunters out in the wild - will likely be a random event similar to "merchant being attacked by bandits" and "summoner bit off more than he could chew"GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC
Epona was a Romano-Celtic goddess dating back to around 1800 to 2000 years before computer games were invented.0 -

Only details are a line in the patch notes that if we are vampires we may encounter (sounds like a random world event) vampire hunters.0 -
Gravewalker21Soul Shriven**"Encounters with Vampire Hunters are also something you may stumble upon in Tamriel, so be wary! These NPCs will respond to any Vampire they come across with extreme prejudice."**
Not gonna lie, reading that in the Natch Potes caught my eye.1 -

✭✭Sounds interesting. I highly doubt these will be tough enemies either looking at the other random encounters you can find with bandits and such.0 -

HelixUnited✭✭✭im hoping it is a actual npc or group of npcs that will chase you down and not overland health and such, at least make it a fight not just crystal blast and gone, hoping they get very annoying very quickly
because that will be fun lol 1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I hope the way they see us is also dictated by our current stage. Like if we're stage one we should be able to pass off as normal ((Especially if the Mage's Guild Persuasion perk is used)), but if we're in like stage 4 there will be no getting around it.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

Actually, if you have high heat/bounty they won't talk to you until you clear your bounty or it goes down enough to make you not kos.
And if the hunters can be, say, original launch release difficulty Doshia and Doppleganger Lyris hard, that would be acceptable. Obviously use some FG abilities that are doubly effective against vamps and what not.1 -

This exactly. I was just about to comment.
Certain vendors/NPCs will talk to you.. most will not.if I could make another character, their name would be Cries-For-Character-Slots. AKA, I need more.

Considering that it's open world and that even new characters with vampirism should have a chance of surviving I hope to god not.1 -

The Vigilants won't exist for about 800 years. The Dawnguard already exists, though.0 -
Gravewalker21Soul ShrivenImagine if the rate that vampire hunters could spawn was also tied to your current bounty as a multiplying factor?0

There are 3 levels to the justice system and they are Disreputable, Notorious, Fugitive.
Disreputable makes it so the guards will accost you but you can do everything else normally.
Notorious makes it so the merchants won't even speak to you, and of course the guards will try to arrest you.
Fugitive is kill on sight and nobody will speak to you. Only way to pay off a bounty at this stage is through a fence.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

Hmm, guess I never really noticed then, I usually just try to get to the nearest refuge when my bounty gets to high or I just pop an edict and i'm all clear. I even still have my Grand Amnesty edict that can clear a bounty up to 100,000 gold.0 -

True, true.... not paying any gold though! Wish there were some achievements for using edicts cause I've had some pretty funny moments with them.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK0 -

naaaaa, it's a ZoS feature, so it will be boring.
Interesting would have been something like you being kicked out from fighters guild when becoming vampire (or getting over stage 2 for example), instead we will see vamps using a 1H dawnguard crossbow.
As always, the job is half done.Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique0 -

✭✭✭✭✭So if you're with someone who is not a vampire, can they attack the Vampire Hunters? Will the Vampire Hunters appear yellow instead of red when first encountered with non-vampires?0 -

I'm guessing they'll appear yellow. If ZOS is sadistic enough, they might be flagged as Justice NPCs. I'll keep an eye out for them as I wander around.0
