Bound and shackled forever more muahahaha!

Spoken like a true Vamp !!

On that i can agree, ill probably buy it day one been saving up points for it. the soul cairn will be interesting to revisit been too long since i've seen the ideal masters.

I'm not a fan of either, anything non-Humanoid just doesn't do it for me and i've never seen the draw toward monsters.

Well I like both... Vamps are shaping up to be awesome at this point...

True no heart beats here.

I have always been a vampire not a fan of werewolfs.

I almost have the points for it, myself (thank you XBL Rewards). I had thought about getting some FO: NV DLC with it but then remembered that when I got Skyrim, I made a promise to myself that I would get the DLC for it. I missed out on SI and KotN for Oblivion, and haven't played Oblivion enough to warrant getting them at this point. I won't be making the same mistake with Skyrim, though.

I like the idea of vampires, but the elder scrolls vampires just svck. You could only feed on SLEEPING VICTIMS, you had to hide from the sun or get big negatives in everything. Which would not be a problem, but the day and night go so fast in the elder scrolls world that it becomes insanely frustrating. However, the biggest thing that bugs me is the lack of cool powers. Only three whopping powers? really?

The powers:
Vampire's Servant - reanimate dead to fight for you, BUT CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE A DAY! Compare that to necromancy which you can use as much as you want.
Embrace of Shadows - invisibility, that can only be used once a day!
Vampiric Drain - the only cool spell, but its something that used to be a spell people could learn in the previous games, but now restricted to vampires which really svcks.


So two out of three spells is something you can get elsewhere AND you can only use once a day. You can feed only on sleeping peple and your powers are greatly diminished in the sun. Sorry, but its just not worth it. I also thought there was supposed to be 100's of different types of vampires acqording to lore (from what I heard anyway), however I have only seen the same type of vampire in all of the elder scrolls games.

Dawngaurd vampires will hopefully add a lot more stuff to make vampires intersting. At least I know you can feed on people standing up now. Not a fan of the ugly vampire transformation though. Still, will probably get this WHEN IT COMES OUT ON PC! Stupid timed delay console exclusives.

My only regret when i buy it is that it costs 1600 and i have 1670 so.. odd number of points afterwards what's more interesting is why the vampires have a portal to the soul cairn also hoping they add more marrige option's since well..the current ones in my opinion look like they were hit by a sack of potatoes.

I am so damned sick of the vampire fad. Can't it just go away for a decade or so? Rather like 3D...

You mean they weren't hit by a sack of potatoes!?

The price just makes me go "meh". I'm not one for caring too much about price, especially when you can essentially bank your money towards it. And by that I mean you don't have to buy the points all at once, lol.

After seeing the E3 rpts...................I'm for sure going vampire.

The new skill-ability tree sounds pretty cool.

Will probably end up playin it both ways.

Cant wait!

You know, the vampires might be getting the badass powers, but I can't help but feel that the Dawnguard are going to feel more badass because of it. If that makes any sense.

Price isn't exactly a concern much although i do have a fish to take care of [off topic Sorry!] i had the money to buy it before spent it accidently etc. that pretty much continued untill yesterday and i imagine one point in the life of skyrim all the men and women did get attacked by potatoes.

I've never had any real preference, but now that I think on it, I'm not much of a vampire fan myself. I've actively avoided turning into a vampire since I started playing TES with Morrowind; I always cured myself of the disease before it progressed too far, even though doing so locked me out of the vampire faction quests. Odd.

100% this.

Vampires svck.

Bet you've never heard that one before.

Vampires? Not my cup of tea. Have never seen had any wish, or seen the point, in becoming one. Could be fun fighting them, though. I hated fighting vampires in Morrowind, but in Skyrim I grown used to it.

Werewolves? Used the beast form once, and didn't enjoy it. Mostly because I ended up killing a poor Khajit caravan who attacked me... So unnecessary! Cured myself as soon as I got the chance so I could get the sleeping bonuses again.

Personally, I'd rather see a DLC where the civil war comes to a real conclusion and we get to fight the Thalmor...

The Brotherhood are a cult of murderous assassins. They get paid to kill and enjoy it. Vincente Valitierre (sp?) leads a cell of the DB and is a vampire. The only genuinely sympathetic vampire of the whole lot is Janus Hassildor. He's the exception, not the rule.

Why do people love to romanticize bloodsvcking parasites that were created by the King of [censored] for the explicit reason of flipping the bird at Arkay? The very first vampire in TES was created by Molag Bal via [censored], the Cyrodiil clan made a pact with Clavicus Vile so that they would be able to troll their prey more successfully, there's a vampire who went and helped a vampire hunter just to screw him over for kicks...

Evil is evil, people. Vampires and werewolves in TES don't adhere to Underworld's mythology; they're far closer to their real-life mythological counterparts. There's no hint of any sort of factional dispute between vampires and werewolves in TES. Just because Underworld loves the concept doesn't mean a thing, when the lore creators of vampirism and therianthropy (Molag Bal and Hircine) have nothing to do with the other, nor have the races interacted in any meaningful manner.

My main character's has always been a vampire. I guess all those years of playing Legacy of Kain inspired me. Right now my Skyrim character is level 64. He's been a Vampire (stage 4) since level one. Only fed once. You gotta be really patient to play that way though, with people attacking you when you try to sell loot, in broad daylight, with no health / magic / stamina regen (not to mention stunted), using invis and pacify spells like crazy. Like I said you gotta be patient.

Never not been a Vamp

Nevermind vampires, I want zombie form! Haha oh, wait. No. No I don't.

It probably doesn't help that I was forced to be a vampire in Oblivion due to a bug, and because of another bug I was unable to cure my first character until 1.1. That left a pretty nasty taste in my mouth, more so since it was my first Oblivion character that i had spent so many hours on.
