Ok so maybe this wont be very different and hopefully I am posting this in the right place. Kind of a vague forum. Anyways, yes this will be a question on a build but all basics aside.

First off I know a dark elf assassin/mage is best as a vampire for reasons we all should know.

My question though is has anyone made a fun warrior type vampire (lord) build not using the dark elf?

What I had in mind was a Breton as they seem more vampire noble like. Then when I think vampire lord I think of a real intimidating Breton with a wicked looking sword. Not much of an RP'er but I do like creating an image and a small background story.

Now I know I could go on and do whatever I like, that's the glory of TES but things can easily be either extremely difficult or extremely easy based on how I progress.

So thoughts or any experiences you had with a vampire build that wasn't a dark elf mage/assassin,

Btw sorry if this has been talked about. I looked, honestly, and surprisingly they isn't much talk about it. I guess people are content with the generic build.
