We need more torture devices, more blood splatter effects, and spooky pickled parts in jars. More weird crazy vampire experiments. Feeding troughs full of blood. Electrical devices and all sorts of vampire talismans and knickknacks. I hope for all of this eventually but expect none.
I want my house to look gory mad scientist house.

This right here is what I'm after! The more I explore the vampire house the more disappointed I become with it. The rooms look lovely but the whole thing is so disjointed and weird and NOTHING like a home, even for a vampire, that I just don't know what to think of it. I was SURE there would be a whole slew of new coffins and crypts yet it seems like we have even less than Summerset gave us!

The 'vampire' furnishings are totally lackluster, and missed the target completely. What furniture fits the concept of 'vampires' most? Polished office drawers? Knotwork motifs? Because that's what we got.
They should have made furniture that matched the colour or material of the Vampire architecture (stone, metals, dark colours, spikes and fangs, gargoyles, grotesque vampire faces) and vampire lamps (angular spiky metal). But instead, they made some totally mundane brown wood furniture with knotwork patterns (god knows how that's supposed to relate to vampires) which is only slightly different from Alinor (which was already a brown, arched, spiked style).
Daedric furniture are far more vampiric than the actual 'vampire' furniture they added with Greymoor. They could have easily expanded the Daedric style (which has only a handful of furniture types like chairs, candles, benches and pedestals) into a full furnishing range, to include Daedric beds, desks, wardrobes, cabinets, etc.
Because if even a Chapter with a dedicated Vampire theme and Vampire architecture doesn't get proper vampiric furnishings (apart from the lamps and the Crown Store only vampire items like the statue or the fountain that do actually look vampiric), what will? So the issue isn't that the current 'vampire' furniture shouldn't have been added, but they should not have taken up the spots of our only chance for some vampiric furnishings.
I guess ZOS sees nothing wrong with selling Wraithhome with 70% Imperial furniture since there are no furniture with an actual evil/dark/cultist/vampire style. Some of the ideas in this thread (like coffins, bloodsplattered furniture, more sinister items, bats) are really great! So it's a pity that the ZOS artists didn't poll some players of what they expect from a new so-called 'vampire' style. Because it wouldn't have been what we ended up getting, for sure.

You know deep down that was kinda bothering me too tbh... I am also a bit disappointed with the vampiric furniture I would at least like them to make the wood black at least if they couldn’t change anything else

Yes, I made that picture to compare several stylistic overlaps between the so-called 'vampire' and Alinor furniture (monochrome brown wood, arch motifs, spikes, Medieval/Gothic revival vibes). I don't think the artists who designed the 'vampire' furniture made it significantly distinct from Alinor, nor did they make it particularly 'vampiric'.kaisernick wrote: »wait isnt half of those in the picture Alinor??The 'vampire' furnishings are totally lackluster, and missed the target completely.
