vampire attack at night

Post » Sat Jun 16, 2012 9:01 am

hey everyone... right ive recently started playing a new character getting ready for dawnguard. i was enroute to riften, its the middle of the night and im traveling through the woods. out of nowhere im ambushed by 3 bears i manage to take them out. im about to deal a final blow to the third, when suddenly someone else fancys a peice of me...

i turn around to see a blooded vampire and a normal vamp. now im writing this thread because never have i been attacked outside by a vampire. this has just totaly suprised me. i love the fact vamps come out at night. plus the fact they decided to take advantage of the bear attack (i know the A.I. isnt smart enough, and its just coincendence but i can pretend lol).

dos this happen regulary? have i not been traveling near the right places at night? i hope its not just a one off....

It's a night-only random encounter I believe. I've only had it happen once myself.

In 250hrs I've had run across two vampire in the open. I was not attacked by bears first but I ran across them like you do the skooma dealers.

It's happened to me quite often. It usually results in a good fight, especially now with mounted combat, as the vamps tend to resurrect every corpse they can find. :thumbsup:

I've seen one during the day. I was low level and go killed by one at night so I figured I would wait until tthe morning only for him to still be there.

Yeah, vampires often come out at night. I was going for a stroll one night, when I heard a cry for help. I rushed to see two women standing there. One of the vampires said something about me being "too easy" and they attacked me. What they failed to realize, was that I'm a vampire and master necromancer and swordsman. I stood there and waited for my two volkihar vampire thralls to arrive and slaughter them, and they did. Good times...

There is a glitch where vampires act like regular people and just say "what can I do for you" or something along those lines. Usually, if you stick around long enough, the glitch will wear off and they will become hostile.

I see em all the time, makes for a good late night snack for a werewolf :devil:
The next time your around Solitude head down to the docks and swim over to the other side, then just wonder around or walk till your under the Blue Palace. I can guarantee you that you will bump into at least 2 vampires.

Just an random encounter, if you reload the save, you could encounter dragon or another bear or Stormcloacks or maiq and so on.....I find that stupid, ruins the immersive feeling :biggrin:, i would perfer they are wondering across the map, instead of spawning" near "you

Encountered it twice myself on different characters, it seems to be a very rare random encounter.

Not for me, I bump into them more then I do bandits when out hunting at night. Like I said, head down to the dockyard at Solitude, swim over to the other side of that inlet and walk until your under the Blue palace http://lettersfromskyrim.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/skyrim-solitude.jpg see the column of rock the Blue palace is sitting on? Well there's always at least 2 vampires hanging out there in all my play throughs ( 1000+ hours ) :biggrin:

It's funny when they say stuff like "outta the way meat" when you talk to them.
