Vampirism Overhaul?

Post » Sat Nov 17, 2012 9:22 am

Beta testers, has Dawnguard changed the vampires in Skyrim in any significant way? I know when the player is a stage 4 vampire NPCs will not attack on sight (unless it's a normal enemy of course), but do the vampire NPCs have any new abilities? Can they turn into a cloud of bats? I believe Todd Howard said vampirism is getting overhauled in Dawnguard, but I have yet to see anything in the forums talking about specific improvements to vampire NPCs.

I made a thread about this shortly after Dawnguard released.

Nope, no major changes... :cry:

You can become a Vampire Lord, different eyes, not beign attacked as a Normal Vampire, the new stages go 20% weakness to fire, 30% weakness to fire, 40% weakness to fire, 50% weakness to fire, and you have no frost resistance.

I completely missed it! I should have known the search was untrustworthy.

Yep, apparently the major feature "Feed on awake NPCs!" thing is only specific to quests and vampire thralls... :cry:
