Hair colors and Vampire Lord Eyes.

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 11:28 pm

So.

I'm on the PC, but i've decided to start roleplaying a Vampire in preperation for Dawnguard.

However, i'm having problems settling on the characters looks. I've decided in Imperial, but thats about it.

I'm mostly thinking about hair color, to get the most out of the 'changes'.

In your experiance, please could you share which hair color made the VL eyes look most striking?

I'd imagine black, and was originally going to choose it, but then it would likely look like your character and Serana were twins. I've looked at both ginger/copper and cornstalk blond, but i'm not sure if it would look out of place.

It may seem silly to be proccupied by the hair of a character, but I take a lot of screenshots, and not much is more irritating than deciding you hate how your character looks after weeks of roleplaying. Nor can I simply boot up Dawnguard and become a VL with each choice, since its not out for quite a while on PC. So, i'm relying on you guys and girls.

Black, blue black and dark brown come to mind. Perhaps a lighter brown blonde color, but be wary of the skin tone changes.
Imperial vampires gain a skin tone not unlike the middle setting in character creation, somehow.

Thanks. I imagine lighter hair looks a little off? Or at the least a little less striking?

What color is Serana's hair? In the lets play i looked black, but if its a brown I could probobly still make a black haired character without getting 'twins' syndrome.

The lighter hair kinda jumps out with the darker skin, so you'll have to experiment a bit.

For any 360 users among us, if you let a vampire infect you and move to the face changer in riften, you can change your face and wait a few hours for the transformation to kick in. This way you can tweak your vampire's face at least a bit.

Just made a 'tanned' (Imperial, middle skintone) test character with red hair. It actually blends pretty well. I imagine the eyes will stick out well.
