I mean he looks like a bald Frankenstein. Couldn't they have made him a LITTLE more presentable?

Vampires aren't supposed to be pretty boys that sparkle and play in the forest.

It's a terrifying form that's intended to be functional, not stylish; a monstrous fusion of man and bat.

Let's put it this way: Harkon doesn't transform to throw galas.

its a beast, the purest form of molag bal's gift. Besides it isn't like you should be using the lord form for anything besides eating people, so making it look horrifying is a plus

Personally I like the looks of the Vampire Lord form *but* there are a few very minor design choices I do not like such as the stumpy small pinky finger, the kinda tiny weird looking feet (also strangely small), the gold back brace, the tiny chicken wings and the ponytail as well as wishing the loincloth was replaced by something more along the lines of robe bottoms.

But then I think if they went with "fixing" what I don't like about it, the VL would look even more blatantly like Marcus Corvinus than it already does

Yup I am glad VL looks like a monster. As someone said its the purist form of molag bal's gift.

As a Vampire Lord, I'm a hulking, essence draining, levitating abomination...The weaklings tremble and flee at my approach. I am meant to terrify. I'm supposed to be hideous and unnerving.

As a Vampire Lord we become less human(or Mer) and more divine.

Because its a huge vampiric bat demon. I don't think it was meant to be pretty.

He should have a bowtie.

People nowadays have been watching too much Twilight *sigh* I think a better way of describing the vampire Lord's appareance would be "Nosferatu"

I doesn't have to be gay, i mean it can look cooler like the daedric armor is

Heh, that's what I thought, too.

We already have dremora who look like dremora. Don't need any more of those.

Meh Vampire Lords are supposed to be all powerful and corrupted not the epitomes of hotness. What better way of being corrupted than looking and acting like it.
I like the way they look now, imposing and creepy. I wouldn't be afraid of something trying to kill me with his long flowing hair or something. It might be useful to seduce your enemies but you can do that in your more mortal form.

I do think the wings should be bigger.

I do think the wings should be bigger.

They could have filled them out at least. Looks like they plucked a chicken and added them on. Bigger might get you hung up on things, kind of like how werewolves can't fit through some doorways.

LOL. Poor twilight haters, always assuming anything vampire related is a Twilight reference XD.

What did you expect? Justin Bieber?

Even Molag Bal has standards.

He could look like http://www.empireonline.com/images/features/movie-draculas/Leslie-Nielsen-Dracula.jpg

This is really presentable

He's meant to be the Vampire's Hulk mode, a big ugly sack of rage.

Am I the only one who gets the reference? :tongue:

» Tue Jan 01, 2013 4:57 am

Yeah, I think they want the ugliness there, to represent the darkest, basest nature of a true vampire. No sparkles here, no sir! :lol:
