I don't know if red eyes are a traditional Vampire feature, but fangs sure are. I would love if we could have fangs for all stages, but especially stages 3 and 4.

    Depends on what myth or novel you consider being part of the tradition ;) Useless info:

    About Dracula in Bram Stoker's original novel:
    "His appearance varies in age. He is described early in the novel as thin, with a long white mustache, pointed ears and sharp teeth. It is also noted later in the novel (Chapter 11 subsection "The Escaped Wolf") by a zookeeper who sees him that he has a hooked nose and a pointed beard with a streak of white in it. He is dressed all in black and has hair on his palms. Harker describes him as an old man, "cruel looking" and giving an effect of "extraordinary pallor". When angered, the Count shows his true bestial nature, his blue eyes flaming red."
    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Dracula

    Hair on palms -> vampire :D

    On topic: Vampires definitively need fangs!

    In order to give vampires fangs ZOS needs to rework the entire vampire appearance from the ground up. Right now all the appearance is is just a skin. Unlike the other games there is no facial restructuring going on when you go from mortal to vampire.

    Actually the appearance as it stands is quite appropriate as ZOS effectively defanged vampires with their recent re-vamp.

    I like classic Skyrim orange eyes. Vampires in ESO looks more like zoombie, junkie or witcher who drank too many potions.

    Fangs are ok if you can see them only when somone talks. I mean I don't want NPC to look like an orc.

    Honestly, I'm wondering how ESO vampires even bite without having fangs? Do they mash their victims to drink their blood?

    Now you know why when you bite an NPC they die.

    It does kinda bother me that my vampires don't have fangs. Would love this added.

    It shouldn't be that hard to add fangs, I think? They could make them like "minor adornments", just not optional, but automatically activated when you've become a vampire?

    When would they really be visible? I don't want teeth sticking out of my character's closed mouth. I would only like this if it were toggleable

    If they could just barely show, slightly protruding past the top lip. Just enough so you know they are there.

    I mean eso vamp looks like a zombie/junkie already might as well give it some pointy chompers.

    Some of the feeding animations, and some emotes (eating, laughing...).

    There actually isn't any 'Traditional' vampire. Every writer who has ever created vampires for their work has Always had their own specific concept of its look, strengths, weaknesses and mannerisms.

    When I think of Vampires, I think of Bela Lugosi. And fangs.

    I don't recall where I heard this but someone was detailing that fangs wouldn't be a necessary evolutionary trait if vampires were real bc the human bite is powerful enough to rip flesh and we already have canine teeth to do exactly that.

    But with that being said, I want them Fangs! lol

    Fangs were for more than just biting. If I remember correctly, weren't they hollow and also used to suck up the blood like a straw? If not they should be!

    Either him or Nosferatu. Although I'd prefer vampires in ESO not to look like the latter ;)

    Of course you could, with normal human teeth, bite people until they bleed. Still, something pointier would be more effective than gnawing on someones neck for minutes.
