So my beast race vampire is going to look awful for the rest : V - Skyrim

Perhaps because their eyes are so much larger than man/mer eyes that it would have looked silly so they scrapped the idea?

Pretty much. When you're doing character creation and choosing eyes, look at the difference between Humans/Mer and the Beast Races. They have 2 different eye texture sets. Basically, the glowing eyes were not put as set of their textures. As a vampire, the eye textures for beast and human are separate as well. They didn't include glowing eyes for the Beast Races as all as it would have been a different texture set. Now I'm not sure why they chose to do this but someone stated above that it is intended. Perhaps it's supposed to show that the Beast Races are still not quite human and therefore won't look the same as a Vampire.

I don't care what excuse there is, I think it's unacceptable.

The only reason I wanted to become a vampire was because of the glowing orange eyes that are advertised everywhere. They're a staple, an icon and they encapsulate what Dawnguard is all about. I'm seriously upset, my character is vain and is all about looks, I couldn't stand the vanilla vampires and after reading that they were overhauled, I had high hopes about finally becoming one. Then we learn that they look the exact same and you don't even get the eyes to boot.

Just, urg...

I read that and pictured a Khajiit going to look in a mirror after becoming a Vampire and going "Ugh, I don't see what the big deal about this. My eyes don't even glow and now my fur doesn't match. I'll go back to being my old beautiful self again."

That's not too far from the truth.

I guess I'm going to have to do the DLC as an uninspired lame looking vanilla vampire then cure myself just so I don't look horrible, hopefully I'll still have access to my new castle and all of the resources within...

Fixed that for you.

Have you tried altering your appearance before becoming a Vampire? I found that initially I thought the Khajiit Male vampirism changes were UGLY, but after I changed the character's appearance a bit and turned into one again, I actually look....really, really, reallllllly good now. It did take some tailoring, but I didn't have to change my style/tastes or anything.

I mean she looks okay but still like a vanilla vampire, the fact they were content to let this slip out is really what's making me angry. I just wanted to have cool orange dovakiin eyes like the blasted advertisemants, that shouldn't be too much to ask. Once again beast races get the short end of the stick.

HAHA! Yes! The fem vamp lord is ugly just as I hoped she would be.

I laugh at the people who thought the fem vampire lord would be "hot".

Grelad the kind with wings will always be scary.

in response to the topic at hand I like my Argonian vampire. He looks like the evil lizard wizard I always wanted him to be! I think it's a matter of fenangling the characters looks beforhand and predicting the change.

Still the fact that they neglected to upgrade the beast races is terrible.
