well like you guys said they are technically the same but one seems more like a mage and one more like a necromancer. Dragon priests don't resurrect undead as far as I've seen. Gives them some room for comparison.

@ op-
vampire lord seems the most powerful from what I've seen. Immortality, can keep their human form as well as great magic power.

Dragon priests are liches are not technically the same. Dragon priests are granted eternal life to continue their service by the dragons and liches are necromancers who used a form of necromancy to prolong their life.

So there techniquely the same except that they achieved there lichdom in different ways?

I would say Vampire Lords, powerful Liches and Dragon priest has stronger magic but vampire lords could use more tactics like sneak, melee powers, and speed.

I would agree. Vampire Lords seem to have the advantage.

By the way, aren't you that infamous DLC idea guy?

Taken from UESP, my post about dragon priests was correct, heres more info on liches though:

Liches are necromancers which have embraced the power of Lichdom, placing their soul in an object called a 'Phylactery', which is usually a Colossal Black Soul Gem. They are always selfish and power-hungry, destroying all in their searches for souls to repair the Phylactery. They are extremely intelligent and are adept spellcasters; along with their random effect staffs, they carry tremendous power and arcane magic. Nether Liches were normal liches, but, for a certain time were weakened by a destruction of one of their Phylacteries. Ancient Liches created more then one phylactery, becoming much more powerful. A Lich is immortal and powerful, always resurrecting if their Phylactery is not crushed. They always have control of at least a small undead army and a tomb.

Its just like everyone else, high elves and imperials hates each other but you could still find some that don't so its possible some vampires and liches could get alone.

Well, since Liches and Dragon Priests are the one and the same, it would be more of a Vampire Lord vs a Lich, Dragon aligned or not. We simply don't know enough about the Lords to compare.

The thing is necromancers want to control undead and create minions. A zombie is just flesh and does everything the master wants. A vampire on the other hand is sentient, your a still the same person just undead. And most people wouldnt agree to be a slave for someone else

I think the Lich would have the upper hand. A vampire lord has probably a lot more strength and some magic but a Lich would have even more powerful magic.

Based on my experience with Oblivion's liches ... Dragon Priests, easily.

I believe the Dragon Lords were cursed with undeath for their treachery, that is betraying the Gods I think.
