Sorry I've been away for a bit, I've been having some computer issues. I fully plan to pick up the pace on my end of things as much as I can lol. I agree with martin though that the most powerful moments in gaming for me have been the ones where I really empathized with the character or felt like I really was them. Unfortunately it's really difficult to find a good game that does that, so most instances have been in pen and paper games for me.

Sorry it took so long lol, but here are the pics you've been so patiently waiting for. Like before it's in multiple posts :thumbsup:.

Don't worry lol, my laptop won't even come close to running skyrim either, I really want to get a new one. And as awesome as I've found skyrim to be (what little I've played it lol), I actually like oblivion better, especially after we get this mod up and running :).

I'm happy to be on the team and thank WarRats again for letting me help :biggrin:. Hopefully I'll be able to live up to the great work that he and Urko have already done lol.

Here's hoping ;) I am truly sorry it's taken so long. If I wasn't such a perfectionist then you would have seen the first release months ago. For example, I just spent an hour on about 5 chunks of dialogue, getting each bit to sound just right and make the listener ask themselves the right moral questions. I don't think I'm good at it, but here is a little sample... "I hate your elitism, your arrogance... your self deception. You take pride in your superiority over humans, yet you hold on to your greed, your vanity... It's not your fault. You're only human." Wow, that's some serious dialogue lol, hope I can live up :sweat:. As far as using an overhaul, I've only used this one since the first version came out lol, and this is proving to be exponentially better than the original. The only thing I used for vampires before getting Terran Vampires is appearance changers to make them look better lol.

I think something with demonic hellfire would be cool for an inhuman vampire, maybe at the cost of health and blood as a result of your relationship with the demons of the other side. As for a human one... I'll get back to you lol.

So I just wanted to make a post and thank WarRatsG for allowing me to become a part of this amazing mod. I'll be working on characters and whatever I can help out with :). Oh, and Martin, a good way to get a feel for things is to play the original beta, that's how I got interested in this project. This one's fixing to be exponentially better, but it's a start. Other than that, it's up to WarRatsG if he wants to put out an official trailer. I'd be more than happy to put one together, or help with one, but it'll add to the suspense if you're kept guessing a little ;). And suspense makes it more fun when it comes out after all.

Weed and beer inebriation is a good mod for distortion effects, I'm not sure who made it though. I'd love to help you make characters, as I'd like to think anyway that I'm a fairly good writer at least, but I haven't really had any experience with translating that into the CS to make characters. If I can figure it out I'll let you know, but if I can't I'd still be thrilled to help you at least write the characters if you need it.

Sounds like vampires worthy of the Shivering Isles lol ;). Maybe you could add a distortion effect to vision like in some of the intoxication mods. Not sure what disorder that my be though lol, maybe "faux intoxication" or something.

For purely role-playing reasons I would say that was a cool idea, but it would be difficult I would think to implement into the game without it being game-breaking. Having that many followers would make most fights, including the main quest, just too easy. If you were limited to having one or at most two follow you at a time though, with the rest being in your "standing army," then maybe it could work.

Good luck with your match on Sunday. I just wanted to let you know that I'm still wholeheartedly looking forward to this, and that if you think of anything I can help you with, just let me know and I'll do my best.

I think it would be cool to make a quest line based around your acolyte. Since in the last mod at least, the making of new vampires is strictly controlled, maybe your dark child will be hunted, or you have to help them gain acceptance in vampire society. As for thralls, maybe you can set them to clearing a safe place to sleep for the day. There are also some quests that require you to travel during the day to deliver something or talk to someone, maybe personal thralls can work like the community thralls in the last version were supposed to and either retrieve that person or find another way to advance your quest. And for both you might be able to work them like the Vile Lair DLC minion. You could send them out to retrieve blood or live food for you, to hunt for treasure, or the like.

Good luck, let me know if there's any other ways I can help you out. I still don't have much modding talent, but I might be able to be of some use.

I like that idea, I could probably improve all of the basic powers and add extra ones. It surely wouldnt be hard to do :) I'm glad you like it lol, even I have a decent idea once in a while :). Even just lowering the blood cost of the basic powers would represent their learned efficiency.

I like this idea. Maybe you could just give them more blood to use for their powers and to resist the sun, that wouldn't be too unbalancing, but would make them a bit more powerful as vampires than turned characters. You could also give them a basic survival power to start with above and beyond their clan to represent their learning to adapt as a vampire and not relying on magicka .

My favorite's the Protiva, with Recluses as a close second lol. But then I usually play a ranger type character so there ya go lol.

And after drinking the same thing for a few hundred years you may start to get tired of the "lesser quality" drinks lol.

Well if I answered my own post I'd look like I was talking to myself lol :P. Maybe you could have menus that allow you to change how perceptive the vampire hunters are, ie how long it takes them (on average) to find you and at what point of "inhumanity" they start noticing.

My pleasure lol :). The eyes give me yet another reason to play an inhuman vampire lol.

And here's the last variation. P.S. I like the first three best lol :)
