I know about the in-game references like when M'aiq says he would like to give you one but he dows not have one
Yeah, there's a few others of heard of, too, like I think in one of the games (might have been Morrowind), there's a book or something that makes reference to the fishy stick stuff. You've probably heard of it, though I haven't seen it in-game myself yet.
Anyway, I think that's enough fishy stick talk for now. I wonder if there will be unique vampire lord models for certain races? I kind of doubt there will be, however, but it would be interesting if there were.
