I hate that becoming a vampire in Oblivion turns you into some old freak. I would rather look more like a ghoul as you get more vamperism, then get all wrinkly and old looking. You're a vampire! Why would you get "older" looking lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordWushin Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That is what mods are for, to fix that wrinkle problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind it if one was turned into something like a nosferato from vampire the masquerade: bloodlines though,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about fictional creatures is they're often redefined to meet the needs of the narrative or even just the author's aesthetic whims. For example, Bram Stoker's original Dracula could survive perfectly well in daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltreU Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I think what they tried to do in Oblivion is give them more of a decrepit, terrifying appearance that instead made them look old to some (or most) people. I didn't mind it and have had 3-4 different vamp characters (one of which was an Argonian!). Typical D&D vampires can give the illusion of beauty until they decide to reveal their true, ugly faces. Those disturbing and terrifying vampires are the kind I like. As far as other various vamp lore goes, they typically make it where the vamps appearance remains the same as when they were first turned (preserved by dark magic?), rather than them for some reason looking younger. This isn't usual in popular modern vampire media (which sucks, it twists ones perception of what these originally scary creatures were) as far as I can tell, but I hope that changes. This is just my experience and view on vampire mythology, though. Edited August 26, 2011 by AltreU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
