Most of the time those fangs look terrible though.

You're upset over a feature you won't see often. When there are literally tons of bugs and glitches that are far worse that need to be fixed ASAP. I realize it looks cool, hell I like it. But it isn't that big a deal. And I'm the type of person that can spend an hour trying to get my character the way I want it.

It is a big deal and as someone who plays in third person I do (or would) see it quite often. To me, this does need to be fixed as soon as possible because as it is, it's ruining my enjoyment of the ENTIRE DLC. I'm going to have to change my entire race to fix it and that's a big deal.

Honestly, I played through the entire DLC as a bugged out vampire and I didn't run into many bugs and all the while this disregard of my race was there staring me in the face literally.

If you read any of the other threads you would see all the glitches that are plaguing the game. And I mean some of them are game breaking. For example: game freezes, frame rate drops, water walk, quests not working, npcs disappearing, npcs doing random things in random places, et cetera. There's still glitches from vanilla Skyrim that are present.

Even in third person your screen centers on your back, it's really not a big deal (I play majority in third person). I'm sorry it seems like a big deal for you, and it's ruining your experience. But you've got to admit, it does seem childish. Like in my case, I don't like the vampire lord transformation looks. But it's not going to prevent me from using my transformation, because it is useful.

The damned orange eyes are practically a selling point of the DLC

They are? :confused: Maybe for you, but for me i prefer non neon glowing eyes.
It's something that makes you stand out so easily, yet no one seems to be able to tell your a Vampire? Even the said Dawnguard leader who is a Vampire Hunter? Yeah..... It just reminds you of how poorly the story was thought out and reminds you that your choices have no effect on the world... I would swap with you if i could~

The difference is, this is not about preference. I'm not saying that I'd prefer them to have been this way, they were left out. If the ghost horse was supposed to be red instead of blue, it would be a problem. I really don't think wanting to get equal features for my character is childish at all, I'm not foaming at the mouth demanding satisfaction or telling anyone that is issue is more of a priority than other bugs. I'm simply making it known that there are people out there that are not pleased with this and would like to see it fixed.

So do Argonian Vampire Lords look like regular argonians? no fangs or other cosmetics?

Haven't tried an argonian yet but i'm told they suffer the same problem, they still have fangs but they look exactly like they did before the DLC. No updates or glowing eyes.

I honestly don't know how I feel about this.

I'm an Argonian myself, but I have NO idea how this race looks like a vampire, as of yet. I haven't tried to turn into one yet, as I was waiting for this DLC, but I hear their scales go slightly pale, and they have 4 fangs? Not sure if this is true, but it sounds pretty cool.

And because I don't know how my Argonian looks as a vampire from the vanilla game, I don't know if I'll be disappointed by the 'upgrades', or lack of upgrades, from Dawnguard. I will admit that having glowing eyes would be cool, but whether it be a bug, a detail over looked, or intended, I can't say at this time whether it would ruin my idea of being an Argonian vampire.

The unknown in cosmetics is exciting for me. :)

The glowing eyes are welcome, but I don't think it would be a hot idea for Bethesda to get rid of the fangs for the beast races if they still have them. It's just too late after post release to get that drastic about certain visual changes, but I wouldn't mind if they changed it so the Khajiit vampires' fur don't change so drastically, however. That right there is a very big complaint, as there really is no reason why Khajiit fur should change color like that when becoming a vampire. And if it's a possibility, I wouldn't mind seeing some graphical improvements to the fangs, but straight out removing them would likely prove too controversial, since yeah, there's some people who don't like them, but I think a lot of people do like them, hence why I like the idea of vampire appearance being determined by blood hunger. Though I think people generally prefer vampires to have fangs/special fangs, considering all the threads of people just ranting about how vampires don't have fangs anymore (which I still don't know is really true, since I don't know if Harkon really belongs to one of the vanilla vampire races or not, he does have his own unique vampire lord form, after all).

And you know something, if that rumor about vampires not having fangs anymore is untrue, then I'm going to be pretty sore once again, since that rumor has gotten me to start thinking about a whole mod project about adding them back in if that's really true. At least on the bright side, the project could instead be repurposed to add fangs to female vampires at the very least if the "no moar fangs :(" rumor pans out to be false.

Also :lmao: at how the "type" emoticon turned into the actual image.

Finally, FYI, I am one of the people that actually does kinda like the way vampire fangs look in vanilla for the beast races. Just wished that they weren't so glitchy sometimes, like how the roots of the teeth on Argonians can clip through depending on your character's face. At least it's not TOO noticeable, though, at least in the case of Argonians, anyway. I would be like this :bomb_ie: :swear: if they ever decided to get rid of the fangs entirely.

I'm all for keeping the fangs, but just fix them. I really just want the eyes...

I do wish my fur didn't turn white though...

Are you really sure that male human and elf vampires no longer have fangs, or are you just basing that off the fact that Harkon and female human and elf vampires don't have fangs? I think I might have heard that male Wood Elves still have the fangs, but I think people should double check on that stuff before it turns into another three-ring circus of rumors that may or may not have any real foundation. One way to check is looking at the face of your character when there are enemies around, such as wolves. Now I don't know if it holds true for all races, but for at least some of the races, you should be able to see your character's teeth. Using the CK is admittedly a lot faster and easier way to check up on that, but we can't really do that right now. But if this rumor really is false, then it needs to stop circulating around the forums.

Speaking of fangs, in addition to improvements to the beast race vampires, they ought to look at the possibility of adding fangs to the female human and elf vampires, since they got the short end of the stick there as well, and this fact is often complained about.

I'm a bit disappointed by this, too. My Khajiit doesn't even look intimidating as a vampire. He just looks like a mentally disabled saber cat with mange. It doesn't really bother me too much though, because I like to chuckle at his big ol' fangs.

I'm fine with them, too. I just wish I could use the face sculptor as a vampire, because my cat looked pretty dumb before vampirism.... and the white fur, fangs, and strange eyes didn't do him any favors. But if they added glowing eyes that would be enough to make me keep my vamp save over my Dawnguard save, since the only reason I like them is for the armored huskies.

I can live without the face sculptor thing but I know what you mean about the way it makes us look... The white fur makes no sense whatsoever either, hopefully we'll get this updated in the next patch.

Oh dear god those fangs look terrible. I don't think they need to be removed, just remodeled. As-is they don't look like saber teeth, they look like slightly pointier cartoon rabbit teeth. I don't play a vampire because...yeah, they look incredibly goofy.

I personally find the old Vampire look much more enjoyable than the new one. Glad the Argonians and Khajiit's got to keep it, rather then get some forced makeover.

I honestly don't know what to believe now.

I mean, I can't say I'm interested in how the Khajiit looks, because I'm playing Argonian, but are people just referring to the Khajiit and generalizing them as 'beast races', or are they including Argonian's also?

Reading this topic, I would assume that both of the beast races are hard done by, with retaining the original look (although I don't know if that's good or bad, because I don't know what they look like). Then I read Argonian's have 4 fangs compared to the Khajiit's saber cat-like fangs, then I read that they're both the same. Again, reading this topic, I am sort of led to believe that Argonian's, like Khajiit, don't have the glowing yellow/orange eyes like the Nord from the Dawnguard poster, but then I've read that one Argonian vampire user does have the organge glow.

I'm still trying to google images of Argonian vampires, both previous to Dawnguard, and during. I'm confused!! XD

Khajiit and Argonians are beast races, Khajiit vampires have two oversized sabre cat fangs while Argonians have four sharp teeth like a shark or something. Both races are excluded in the DLC from getting the cool glowing eyes from the advertisemants and instead look like they did before the DLC. They look okay but it's pretty unfair that every other race gets an upgrade and we beast characters get nothing.
