So what are your thoughts on The Vampire Lords Appearance? : V - Skyrim

It's a bit [censored] honestly. I guess I don't see the point in copy/pasting the bad guy from a sub-par horror themed action movie.

Updated Post With different Vampire Lord Variants Bethesda Has Both the Best Werewolf Variants And Vampire Lords from any form of media including movies in My Opinion.

I'd crap my pants if the popped out of a wall like in the trailer.

That would certainly add some suspense to the game. So in the video they showed a VL bursting through the wall and a dragon diving through ice, im guessing these are scripted -certain vampires already set in certain places- and that dragons will only be able to do it in a few places with the Ice "healing soon after" . Or will the DLC area have some "destructible terrains"

hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate (get the idea yet?) hate hate hate hate hate hate it, it is one of the very few things i hate about the dawnguard DLC. they look so damn cheesy and unoriginal...just like longknife said

It might not be the most original or creative thing and i had different expectations and hopes for the Dawnguard DLC myself, but oh well.It looks good and i'am pretty sure there is alot more content if you dont like playing as a vamp.I will give it a go :thumbsup:

I take it as a sign that we will literally be receiving every piece of content from the DICE showcase, and [censored] all lore or balance.

Look at mounted combat. You definitely feel at an advantage when you're on your horse. Screw balance.
Look at magic and arrow kill cams. Am I the only one that has these damn things miss all the time, activate when the enemy won't actually die, and otherwise finds them stupid (magic especially) because it's nothing but a different camera angle? Screw beta testing.
Look at this now. It's obviously a rip-off from that movie and vampires turning into bats has never been a part of TES vampirism, and yet here it is. Screw the lore.

We don't know everything about the lore, a few books here and there which may or may not of been completely true.. and the whole "you found our fortress" thing does suggest they're a rather reclusive bunch... not the sort of people to invite some biographers round for some rosey lee.

They should have gone all the way and called the DLC "Underworld".

oh, as iv said, i will love the non vampire lord aspects of dawnguard, but i will get pissed whenever i see one of those ugly abominations that have the gall to call themselves vampires (but of course, that will make my job as ugly abomination hunter easier :biggrin:

)

I'd wager you're right.
Maybe after they import a few more characters from early 2000's blockbusters, they'll get around to more interesting additions.

They should have gone all the way and called the DLC "Underworld".

I was thinking about the same.

A SKILL TREE PLEASE BETHESDA!

Really hope they don't add a tree, terrible way to change it IMO, it's not a skill.

Can't wait for this, the shot at 1:02 look intense, absorbing the life from someone. I've made quite a few vampire characters, luckily my current character is a vamp!

Hopefully they don't ruin the vamp lord with cheap animations and wonky controls.Playing a stiff,clumsy,hovering giant bat,please not! And as we all know,Beth is not known for their supirior,smooth,realistic animations. :dance:

i thought it looked pretty sweet.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 11:16 am

They look awesome. I'm glad Vsions got his Vampire Lord in.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:17 pm

Somehow i get the feeling that they were inspired by Castlevania lords of shadow.(which isnt a bad thing)The game had great art design.

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:18 am

So in the video they showed a VL bursting through the wall

That wasn't a Vampire Lord, it was something else. Either a more feral kind of vampire or a gargoyle (you can see them at 0:52 and 1:00 - the latter being killed in combat).

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:19 pm

I wonder what a argonian vampire lord will look like? A lizard with wings?

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:37 pm

I think everyone here that is complaining about someone else's work before actually experiencing the end-product is an ignorant jack ass.

That's my opinion about this forum.

Also, I am indifferent to vampire lords. If they please me (alive or dead) once the DLC is out, then I will make a decision. Also, they look fine.

Edited to avoid unecessary censorship of a word taught to schoolchildren in the 3rd grade. lol

And vampires turning into bats has never been a part of TES vampirism, and yet here it is. Screw the lore.

Vampires, some of them, can turn to mist. It wouldn't be far-fetched if some turned into bats.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:20 pm

i think those tiny wings look absolutely ridiculous. i know its a magical world, but wings like that couldn't make anything fly. they look like overcooked bbq chicken wings, not at all scary or threatening. they look like a sad chicken whos had its feathers plucked. kind of shocked by the positive response this trailer is getting....overall looks awesome, but those wings are terrible.

I agree. That shot where it's hovering along with its little chicken wings flapping pathetically....jeez. I can't understand why very few people think it looks cack. I think it looks embarrasing.

Bethesda, please don't try to shamelessly rip off Hollywood films if your engine isn't up to it.

Don't like it then don't buy the DLC. simple as that.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 11:50 pm

Don't like it at all. When i saw the word Vampire .. for Dawnguard .. i yelled loudly. I hate vampires. Hope the DLC feels/will be like an expansion just like Bethesda promised us.

The Trailer makes it look like it will be like a mini area to explore.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:30 pm

Or get the DLC and just use a mod that gets rid of the Underworld garbage. I'm sure there'll be a few. Feel bad for console-users who hate it though.

Well hell, dragon flight looks ridiculous too, imo. When I think of a creature soaring through the sky, I don't exactly think of dragons. Dragons definitely seem like they'd have to flap constantly just to stay airborne.

Vampires, some of them, can turn to mist. It wouldn't be far-fetched if some turned into bats.

Yes because clearly bats and mist are practically the same thing, as are Valenwood and Skyrim.
