Its a personal game, it doesnt need to have balance. If you think Vampire Lord is overpowered add restrictions to your own play. Only change once a day, only change if your own stage 4 etc. If you think the sun isnt a good enough restriction because you can bypass it with enchaments, then dont use the enchantments.

Few counterpoints:
1. All of those spells either have cooldowns or use magicka. Vampire lords will spend a lot of time regenerating their source of power.
2. They don't regen in the sun, so after you use your magicka you will have to transform back.
3. They are not gods compared to werewolves in any way. Werewolves will be able to deal large amounts of damage very quickly and they will also be able to summon ally werewolves.

I think you are giving vampire lords too much credit. They are powerful, but they are not invincible.

I'm sorry didn't realise the dlc had already been released. No one knows exactly what being a vamp lord entails.

Spending perks to unlock these spells is optional, just like everything else in this game that has been called "OP"

If you think it is too strong, dont use it.

But you improve the perk tree by feeding... i see a flaw here

You only gain that after becoming a vampire lord for all we know that process strips you of you're old vampiric powers.
You can't overcome it with enchantments when your a vampire lord you lose access to your inventory.

I'm just proposing that there be some kind of restriction. I mean, what's the point for stages of vampires anymore. Without the penalty of letting your vampirism progress, what's the need to feed? (outside of vampire lord)

The sun weakness and fire weakness is greater the longer you've gone since feeding, unless that was changed.

Was it confirmed that theres no penalty for level 4 of vampirism? or just rumored, or in one of them reviews where absolutely everything else seems like a lie..
like saying saying crossbows have there own perk tree, when The Todd himself said they use the archery perks.

What was confirmed is when you become a vampire lord your no longer attacked for lack of feeding in you're regular form. We don't know if we keep the old vampire powers after becoming a vampire lord.

You do know you controll the transformation right? If you don't wanna be overpowered then don't to the quest to get the ability to or just don't use it and continue on your stealthy feeding at night.

Wrong. The Werewolves will be Glass Cannons. They can dish out a [censored]ton of damage real quick, but they can also die pretty quick as well, considering they're so squishy from lack of Armor Rating. The Vampire Lord doesn't dish out as much damage as Werewolves do, but he has alot more survivability than the Werewolf does, due to leeching, Gargoyle tank, etc.

Perks/Standing Stones can overcome the -100% Regeneration penalty that the sun gives. The Lady Stone will give you +25% Health/Stam Regen, allowing you to regen them in the sun. The Apprentice Stone will give you +100% Magicka Regen (Completely negating the sun penalty for Magicka Regen), but the Weakness to Magic is horrible. The Recovery perk gives you +25/50% Magicka Regen, allowing you to regen it in the sun. The Windwalker perk gives you +50% Stam Regen, allowing you to regen it in the sun (Only in normal Vampire form though while wearing all Light Armor).
Considering Standing Stones and certain Perks (Like Avoid Death) still work in Werewolf Form, i'd assume that the Recovery perk would still work in Vampire Lord Form, allowing you to regen Magicka in the day. The Lady Stone would allow you to regenerate Health/Stam during the day as well.

Well I'm just gonna enjoy this dlc no matter what, can we all agree on that?

When the base is reduced to 0% the lady stone barely does crap, even with recovery and the lady stone the regeneration wouldn't be noticable inside of combat.
Fear Howl is unlimited you can spam the damn thing sending most foes running, and with your damage doubled through the perks you can compelely shred enemies. Here's the real thing a vampire lords abilities have a cost a werewolves are free.

I thought it was said vampire lords were only really effective at night. Maybe they will be a bit OP but I'm sure Bethesda won't make them invincible. PLus it may be a diffrent strain of vampirism. It certainly seems so.

This post would make sense if this were a competitive multiplayer game, but it's not. People won't be spamming it because not everybody wants to be a vampire. Werewolves are getting a perk tree as well so they will become more powerful.

I think the stage system of vampires is going to be altered. Stage 4 means that people attack you on sight, but I read that this was going to be changed so that being a vampire is no longer a curse as such but rather a ability like werewolves with negatives and positives.

I think they're supposed to be OP...

I stand by my belief that when it comes to those who complain about balance and whatnot in a single player game...Sounds more like a personal problem to me. No need to slap heavy restrictions on it to prevent complaining when people will complain no matter what you do...

It's essentially a selfish proposition just to spare yourself the complaints of others.

This is what people don't seem to understand. Why add something such as being a vampire lord if you won't make it powerful? The vampire lord is supposed to be powerful. It's a VAMPIRE LORD!

you want a restriction?

make them glitter in the sun... and EVERY NPC comment on it.

Problem solved.

He speaks the truth.
