Would you think it be cool if we had the ability to turn other people into vampires once we become a vampire lord? Honestly for me I would have a fun day turning people like Aela or Lydia just so I can have some vampires who has deep connection to me by blood and will serve me indefintely.

It would be an interesting feature, but there might be some problems if they pull it off. Aela shouldn't be a vampire, she's already a werewolf.

It would be cool, but it'll be hard to implement.

It would be an awesome feature, but I think it would require that they either:

a) get rid of 4th stage vampirism making everyone hostile

do major changes to the AI to enable NPCs to feed on others. This would require them to sneak around at night and open doors.


PS: Aela is a lycanthrope, so she's immune to vampirism.

There was a vampire mod in Morrowind that allowed it, it was quite well thought out but you could technically build up a small army of vampire followers.

Be awkward if half the people in the game were allready vampires..

vampires turning people into vampires is one of the most natural and iconic things about them, just as it's common in most lores for werewolves to turn people into werewolves as well (even in some stories like Dog Soldiers, even people killed by a werewolf revive as a werewolf.)

maybe it might be complex making it happen in real-time, but at least the Dawnguard DLC for the vampire lords side of the story should include scripted characters that the player is tasked into making into vampires. It would make things more interesting and also make vampires more authentic.

potentially game breaking

Oh I know she werewolf. I was thinking of using the same process that turn people into vampire lords even if they have wolf blood in them.

And then mass produce, blood mead YOU WILL MAKE A KILLING

Then we should be allowed to at least three people of our choosing into creatures of the night.

Like the blades and they pop on over to our stronghold and then we all drink in the winchester till it all blows over.

I think it could be done. Perhaps have certain npcs that can be turned, just like there are certain npcs who are followers and others who aren't. Perhaps make it so you can turn follower npcs?

I wish you could turn your wife, don't really care about anyone else

I was thinking that how cool it would be that vampires own a town.

It's doable... would be nice to have to have that ability.

If it's followers only: Yes.
Any NPC: No.

Edit: Maybe a quest or two where you can force turn an NPC and make them become your follower. I'd be alright with that, just as long as it isn't any NPC.
