blah6662012 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think a mod where Serana will occasionally ask you if she can feed on you so she can control her bloodlust so she doesn't attack innocent people in town. This could leave it open to the somewhat intimate relationship that Bethesda had between the Dovahkiin and Serana to be increased since you will have more of a reason to stand up for her to Isran, the dawnguard, and the vigilants of stendar. Since you want to defend this vampire friend more because she doesn't want to kill people or vampires for food but accepts herself for what she is a creature that needs to feed to live. For the mod it would just require you to either give blood potions, or kill some creatures or npc's (bandits) and tell her when to feed because you wouldn't want her to be feeding all willy nilly because you want to stay in some form of being incognito of being with a vampire. Now when you tell her to feed on something other than yourself she could sigh or show a sign of disappointment because she wanted to feed on you. But if you talk to her and allow her to feed on yourself she could say something on the lines of "I'm sorry, but thank you" then feed on you and she would need to feed like every 4 days and if she goes past like 5 or 6 she will feed on anything close by- most likely the Dragonborn and after feeding and either feed to much and nearly kill you or be able to resist her urges of draining you dry and apologize profusely for hurting her friend.

ThatGuyYeah Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I can always take a look at that aspect. I am currently doing a dialogue overhaul on Serana: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52283/? I'm always open to new ideas to explore with Serana. The worst case is that I won't be able to do it. I'll throw on the list of ideas to explore, but I won't promise that I would be able to get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallgarth Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Serana's a Vampire Lord. They don't need to feed like "baser" vampire's. If you choose the Vampire side, Harkon tells you this when he makes you a Vampire Lord. That's why you never reach the everyone attacks you stage as a VL.

blah6662012 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 @ThatGuyYeah- Thanks, I'm not sure if this helps at all, but it might be easier just to work in it for it to be an additional dialogue option to ask Serana if she needs to feed/ if shes hungry and then initiate the feeding animation (the one where she does the whole embrace then bites you on the neck) @Hallgarth as for lore into Vampire Lords not needing to feed; Harkon was referring that you can feed to stave off the sun heres the dialogue quote "There is one last thing you must know. Slaying mortal men with your life drain grants you new night powers and blood magic. I keep a stable of thralls in the castle should you need to feed like the baser vampires to stave off the sun. That is all I have to teach you. If you wish to be reminded of these lessons, you need only ask. I have a task that will test your new powers, but first, do you have any questions?" If the Sons and Daughters of Coldharbour (the ones turned by Molag Bal himself) didn't need to feed to stop the effects of the sun, then Harkons whole " The Tyranny of the Sun" would be a pointless extreme exaggeration, since the dialogue of Serana complaints of the sun just makes it seem like an inconvenience to them. So aside from the plot hole of Harkons motives and self justification for his actions; I think the purebloods do need to feed, its just that they don't go feral and lose their minds like the common blood vampires from being blood starved. Harkon also tells you about being a vampire, whether he is referring to vampirism in general or the purebloods in his court I don't know but heres the quote- Tell me again about being a Vampire Lord: "When you first transform into a Vampire Lord, you will hover in the air. While you do, you will command the powers of Blood and Night. Descend to the ground, and you can attack with your claws and feed upon your prey to regain your strength. With experience, your powers will grow and you will discover new ways to use them." What must I know about being a vampire?: "With each passing day that you do not feed, that weakness will become more deadly, but your powers will also become stronger. Feed upon those who are sleeping, and your vulnerability to sunlight will diminish along with your powers." As for the mod for Serana whose to say Serana can't give into her vampiric desires and bloodlust and become drunk on the scent of it when shes hungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
