» Tue Nov 20, 2012 9:54 am I'm not defending Bethesda, I'm just against the aggression towards them.
They made a mistake with the vampires in Skyrim, I'm not denying that. Clearly things could have been done better.
But, these are hard working people than made a decent game. I'm not happy with the attacks on them, more so calling them lazy, or as some think they did this on purpose.
Stop coming on these forums and playing their games if they are such a bad company.
Vampires could have been better, they made a mistake. But it was not laziness, these games go through a lot of hands and choices are made that some designers aren't happy with. All this debate is based off a book.
But, I'm not trying to pick a fight lol, I just have a view that people disagree with in this thread.

I would not call them lazy but personally I think what happend was doing the phase through ice thing would be very hard to do and knowing skyrim trying to do it would most likely glitch out your character or break your game knowing how bethesda handles features like this. Plus removing stage 4 attacks this I disagree with but I think the reason why they did it is because many people would not be a vampire if stage 4 attacks were still in(if there is a mod I will personally add it back in).
I know many people who did not become vampires or cured it because of stage 4 attacks personally I hope there will be a mod that will add this back in what I think is happening is bethesda is having problem balancing the gameplay with the lore since if they made vampires or werewolves exact to lore it would lead to many frustrations to players. This is why I approve of the how can we improve vampires and werewolves topic.
The vampires in skyrim are not exactly copy pasted the immortal blood never described the stages of the volk vampires plus volk vampires have different innate bonuses to oblivion vampires instead of having reign of terror we have vampire servant instead of weapon resistance we have frost resistance.
Instead of shouting at bethesda calling them lazy and all the other stuff lets say how they can improve them which is a lot more constructive than getting angry we need to find a balance where the people who like lore and those would have easier gameplay experience.

You confuse me. How do you not see it as laziness? They could have fixed the vampire feeding mechanics and everything, but they didn't they essentially just removed 4th stage attacks, stupid choose, and gave them a new transformation. They should have either left the vampires as they were and made them the Cyrodiilic vampires, or make them more like how other vampires are where they feed to get stronger.
