Justice and Rules First of all I think to make everything more living, and really feel that society, the vampire society should have laws, and when these laws is being broken, and you are so unlucky to be caught. Then there should be consequences, as the true death, where the vampire shall be killed for the crime he has committed. For the vampire Laws, I have some, I might come up with some more later. 1. A vampire must never reveal himself to the human society. 2. A vampire is to dispose of the corps he has fed from. 3. A vampire most blend into society. (Like not lose too much humanity) 4. Vampires most always obey the elders. 5. A vampire may never attack another of his own covenant. 6. A vampire may never feed the same place over a longer period of time, otherwise the humans may become suspicious, and the area would endanger our kind. 7. A vampire must get permission before turning a human into our kind 8. A VAMPIRE MAY NEVER TURN CHILDREN. (There is of course plenty of more rules, but these are just the ones, which I thought of so far) So basically what I want with this, there should be CONSEQUENCES for our acts. I think it is obviously too easy, to go into a city and go on a killing spree. There should be consequences for this, also it would be a nice scenario, to execute other vampires, who is breaking the laws, and is endangering the vampire society. For example the player himself, should be able to “be the law” and make sure that other vampires is not endangering the society, but they should be able to choose side, or just live neutral, and not really take decisions. Politics Just because you are old doesn’t mean that you should possess an elder position. There should be a council, where the society make rules, and decide how to control the regions in Cyrodil. And a player should be able to one day gain a council seat, besides the elders. Of course the ancient should be respected, but I think there should be a little democracy in the society, and the ability to choose whom should be in “The Elder Council” In the Council they decide new laws, taxes, policies regarding to humans, thralls, etc. The society itself The society need to look alive, there should be vampires talking, clubs, Inns, trading companies, blood banks, Human slavery organizations, and so on. So it really looks alive, and you don’t feel alone, when the quests are all done. The vampire When you are turned into a vampire, people should think you are dead. You should awake in the grave, or under the Chapel, in the morgue, where you are placed until the funeral. BUT this should be dynamic, either you wake up in morgue, or beneath the surface, and dig your way out. I think it is ridiculous, that after exactly three days you wake up, the human bodies are all different. There should be different times, depending on race, and genetics. The vampire itself shouldn’t relay on weapons, as bows, swords, axe etc. But it’s natural instinct, speed, strength, etc. The vampire should be able to rip arms, and legs off, pull out the spine, penetrate a body with his fist, and snap their neck, with a firmly grip around the victim, and simply twist it until the neck snaps. The speed and reflexes should be a big part of this too. For example when moving in high speed, you as player should be able to choose between matrix bullet time (slow motion) or moving really fast. What is meant with the slow motion is, that for the human eye, it is possible to see where the vampire is going, but for the vampire everything seems like it is going normal. Also vampires eyesight and hearing should be greatly improved. You should be able to listen to the human heartbeat, and look far, far away. Being a newborn When being turned, it should be almost impossible to control the blood thirst. You are going frenzy on everything that moves (almost) and you can’t blend in just yet, therefore you are most likely going to live underground, or in caves, and feed on low class people, and homeless people. When growing older, you start to acknowledge your new body, and what ability you may unlock, and you can start to blend into society. You can mask yourself, and you are not so depended on blood anymore, you can survive longer and longer without it, because you have learned to control the thirst. But yet there should be consequences for those who just feed, and keep feeding. They shall lose their humanity, and soon go into a feral state, going to look like a nosferatu vampire, but they gain strength, but cannot walk so long in daylight, and people will become afraid, and your bounty shall race. On the other hand, if you can control it, you will be more weak, your speed and strength not as great, but you have your humanity, and the ability to blend into society. True death The only way for a vampire to completely die, is by burning the corps. Weakness The weakness should all be different, depending on how much humanity you have. Personally I think the stake to the heart is bulls***, since their heart doesn’t beat. They do not rely on their heart anymore, it will become smaller overtime, because it is useless. Also the holiness is crap in my opinion, because it original comes from Adams first wife, from the bible, which I think is nonsense. Fire and sunlight should be the only things that really should could kill a vampire. Of course arrows may slow them down, and can paralyze them for a short period, before regenerating. But that is it. That is just some of my ideas. I will add more overtime. And sorry for the typos, if there is any. I am VERY tired at the moment, and I will look it through tomorrow.
