Ideal Race for Wolves and Vamps

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 4:25 pm

I've always pictured Vampires to be dark haired, gaunt, thin and extremely pale. But which race will make the ideal Vampire?
I think Imperials will be able to make most "Vamp-like" followed by Breton. Of course, Dunmer will fit the Vampire skills and all, but their appearance just takes that away for me. Same with Bosmer.

For the wolves, I think Nords are most fitting. Basically because that's how I feel. Orsimer or any other race could of course be werewolves, but I still feel that Nords are the most fitting.

Thoughts?

Probably those races that benefit more from the stat boosts. Gameplay speaking, of course

Imperials would be the best for Vampire since they have more charisma. And werewolves any race can be them.

Vampire: Dunmer due to fire resistance help keeping them from burning alive.

Werewolf: Khajit as they get +15 to their unarmed attack.

All we know for sure about Werewolf attacks is that it is based off of one handed skills... I have heard nothing about what happens to equipment or base skills the player has pre transformation.

Whichever races get a bonus to 1h for Werewolves. Assuming their attacks are based on your 1h skill, that is (I think this is correct based on other threads I have read).

As a werewolf, I believe any active abilities a race has such as the Redguards Adreneline Rush is not able to be used.
So choose a race with good passive abilities. I am going with Argonians for their under water breathing (can you imagine that?)

As for vampires, I would say Dumner to decrease fire damage. Unless you are roleplaying to kill a race that doesn't deal fire damage like some defenseless villagers (unless they beat you away with torches 0_0) If so then I would again go with Argonian.

i'm probably gonna make an imperial or nord for werewolf, but most likely a khajiit or argonian for vamp.

Dunmer, imperial, Breton for vampire.

Argonian, Orc, Breton for werewolf.

Possibly khajiit but I doubt it's bonus stays in effect.
