Laid to Rest - Alva : V

» Mon Nov 19, 2012 5:48 pm

Any reason as to why Alva doesn't have glowing eyes of a vampire? Every vampire that I've encountered in the cities has them.

She's not one of the cool kids...

» Mon Nov 19, 2012 10:55 pm

Has her appearence changed at all?

Hey eyes are a cool orange/red in that vanilla Vampire way, but there's no glow like there is with the Solitude Court Mage.

She's just not allowed into the Cool Vampires Club.

After looking into her specifications; her class is a Vampire but she doesn't have "Vampire, Undead" in her race details. I sense a mod that I must create.

Well, as far as I know she has the Cyrodiilic strain of vampirism, she's not a Volkihar.

All vampires should have the glowing eyes regardless of bloodline. The Vampire Lord form is what makes the Volkihar unique from the rest.

This. Movarth was turned by a Cyrodillic Vamp and in turn turned Alva.

I just looked in her specifications, she's labeled as "NordRace" instead of "NordRaceVampire."

It might have just been an oversight.

So she IS one of the cooler kids. Haha.

Is Movarth the same thing or is he the lame bugaboo vampire?

He is a Cyrodillic Vamp lore-wise but game mechanic wise he is probably the same as all the rest.

I like the glowing eyes whenever I look at the old ones all I can think about is star wars and they look identical to sith eyes.

But.. But... Movarth and all the other vampires in the cave have the glowing eyes.

Also for me alva looks human, she has white and black eyes

I don't think Alva is the only vampire NPC/enemy that you encounter that still has vanilla vampire eyes.

Perfect for me, since my characters are based off the Sith or at least have Sith-like influences. I don't know about anyone else.

That's because Movarth is cool. He has a book written about him.

Alva is the weakling of the Brood. lol She's not even cool enough to hang out in Movarth's clubhouse. When she tries to run in there, they kill her. lmao

I think Babette is still the same.

She is a nord I think. Nords, high elves and perhaps the beast races are bugged and do not get the new vampire faces, they either get glowing versions of their old eyes or just the old ones and npcs do not get the bat-like face. Beast races apparently don't get it either.
Imperials, wood and dark elves, redguards get the new face though. I wish bethesda will patch it already so all races can get the proper vamp face.

You left out Bretons...and you're kind of...um...wrong...

In any case, I bet Movarth is now considered to be a "volkihar". Even the so called "fans" who like to lick Bethesda's toe-jam and brown-nose them everyday may see this difference

In what way? His info looked pretty accurate to me...

» Mon Nov 19, 2012 5:02 pm

Actually I am not wrong, I tested it myself so I should know.
Bretons get the new look as well, Nords are the only humans that do not get the new glowing yellow eyes and the npc nords do not get the bat-like faces. High elves don't either.

Eh to me it does not matter what vampire strain they are the group there is weak I crushed them under my boot and moved on hell alva can't even control a vampire she herself turned.

It's because she never downloaded Dawnguard. If she did, Seduction would have worked for her.
