So my beast race vampire is going to look awful for the rest

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 5:05 am

Just turned vampire, my khajiit's fur turned from orange to white over her whole body, she's still got default vampire eyes. Come on, that totally just killed my desire to play the vampire side of the DLC. She looks worse than the vanilla vampires did and I don't even know how that's possible... Is that a glitch, do you have to do something in particular to get the orange eyes?

So basically, beast race vampires got no visual improvements whatsoever in this DLC, they look horrible.

Not to mention, it's kind of odd that in Lord form she magically grows a long white ponytail and strange jeweled clothing kind of just forms on her, that's not a biggie because I don't care for the transformation that much. Now I'm not really thrilled about vampires and therefor Dawnguard in general, I suppose I can do the quest line to get all the goodies then cure myself so I don't look like crap.

EDIT:
Oh and apparently you can't even use the face remodeling NPC either, why again are vampires so great? This has totally ruined the DLC for me, I don't want to play another race just so I can enjoy looking like a badass vampire, I just want to use my favorite character.

I suppose so, not quite related to my questions but okay. From my time outside, I didn't seem to be loosing any health, just health/stamina regen was gone and it was annoying as hell.

That is one ugly mother fraker.

And on the topic of beast race vamps, i heard that Argonians are going to lose their fangs, i hope that isn't true. However i was also wondering about khajiit vamps, do they still have their sabercat like fangs? Or have those been removed?

No, Argonians have two set of fangs and Khajiit still have their fangs. They both look exactly the same as vanilla vamps, beast races got no love in this DLC, as usual.

Thanks for the response, though i think beth should have given the beast races more unique vampire lord appearences. After all they already made male and female vampire forms, so why not cat or lizard ones? It just doesn't make sense for a Khajiit to lose its fur, tail, shape of face, ears, etc, and then looks more human/elf like when becoming a vamp lord.

A normal Khajiit vamp already looks different then an elf/human one, so why can't a vampire lord look different?

While I've managed to set the right look in place to make my Khajiit look AWESOME as a Vamp, I still would rather have the glowing eyes. Oh well, at least I've managed to make him look good even without them. (I've noticed this is quite hard to do for female Khajiit, though, unfortunately. I feel your pain.)

I honestly don't mind the Vamp Lords looking the same for all races...a Vampire Lord is a Vampire Lord, just as a Werewolf is a Werewolf regardless of race, there's nothing human/mer-like about Vamp Lords either. However, I am a bit disappointed about the beast races at least not having glowing eyes.

On the bright side, human races end up looking even uglier as vampires, I turned a nord female into a vampire and she got red lips, a black vertical line going from her nose to her chin right through her lips, and her jaw/cheek bones became gaunt and very undead-like. Vamps arent pretty, it seems like its working as intended.

Still, beast races should have gotten glowing eyes, I dont understand why they're special, and before anybody says something about eye pigmentation, that's a [censored] excuse.

Wait, wern't these glowing eyes the new dawnguard ones? So your saying that the beast races still have their vanilla skyrim vamp eyes?

Correct. I posted about this alot in the beta forums, it seems it's intended and not a bug.

So the Volkihar gold/amber glowing eyes are bugged for beast races?

Or not but meh.

You should only have default vampire eyes if you became a lesser vampire from one of the rabble in the caves.

I wish they were bugged, there simply is no glowing eyes for Argonians and Khajiit...which seems lame, because I picture them as looking the coolest with glowing eyes. What a huge oversight, sigh...

They are not bugged for beast taces, they're simply not there. Beast races have totally different eye textures than the human races including the vampire eyes. That's the whole reason why they won't change to the glowing ones. Glowing eyes are human only textures.

That would make some sense, because even in vanilla skyrim, their eyes were different then the human/elf vamp eyes i think. So it really wouldn't make sense for their eyes to look the same as human/elf vamp eyes in dawnguard.

Sounds like a bad excuse to me. Why can human and mer have them, but not the beast races? Eye pigmentation is BS, as I said before. Sounds like they just didn't feel like it unfortunately. I love the dev team and I've put countless hours into both the beta and retail DLC but I still have to criticize certain things, and this is one of them. It just feels sort of lazy to me.

That's good to know, they aren't bugged they were just not included?

I'm really hating my purchase of this expansion now, I wanted to be a vampire and now... now I don't. My evil character is going to have to join sides with the lame Dawnguard and the vigilant because of a lame design problem? Truth be told, I'm raging pretty hard right now but I don't even want to play this crap.

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.
