Terran Vampires REVIVED


Urko

Recommended Posts

I found this mod intriguing in it's original form, so I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. On that note, I'd welcome the opportunity to contribute to the project in some way. I have done some light modding and scripting (for myself) since playing Oblivion. I'd also like to get involved in the writing if you have a need for such. I could also lend a hand in proofreading and testing at the appropriate time. As for what I'd like to see in this mod, I'm truly hoping that the *Savants* evolve from the warm, cuddly, laugh inducing lot to something darker and more akin to who they really are. After all Savant pranks aren't usually played out in the spirit of fun. Well, not the observer's fun in any event. ;^) Also, while I'm not an Elder Scrolls purist, I didn't buy at all into the notion that Terran Vampires were (by design) inherently stronger than Nirnian Vampires. Especially when you consider that all Nirnians have the spark of magic in them and can toss fireballs as well as master Necromancy. Considering the fact that Terran Vampires are *dead*, you can imagine how a Necromancer would be able to *do something* about a Terran Vampire attack. Having said this, we are talking about a mod, so I digress. Again, I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this and I'd welcome the opportunity to join the ride.

I can use whatever help you offer mate :)

Nirnian Vampires aren't that special ;D

Terran vampires have domination of shadow, the minds of beasts and men, even the weather. Their power accumulates over a very large period of time, moving from weakling to immortal. Nirnian vampires have +20 to a few attributes after 3 days :down:

That is why the current Terran society is in upheaval. Any Nirnian has the potential to chuck a few lightning bolts around, which is something that even some of the most powerful vampires cannot do.

Although, that doesn't mean that not all Terran Vampires lack the ability to cast spells, although they use blood instead of magicka. And one clan in particular has developed a special affinity for Necromancy.

 

Considering the fact that Terran Vampires are *dead*, you can imagine how a Necromancer would be able to *do something* about a Terran Vampire attack. Having said this, we are talking about a mod, so I digress.

 

I always enjoy discussing the logistics ;D

 

 

 

 

As it stands, Arcanists have 3 votes out of a total of 8 (I allowed plural voting ;D ), so sometime tomorrow you will be getting an inside look at the Haematikon. Aren't you lucky?

For the record, I will be going for quantity over quality with these screenies, seen as I have no real skill with photoshop.

I don't know about how the strength of Nirnian Vampires are perceived in The Elder Scrolls lore but as far as in the Oblivion game most people are upset by how they turned out. Plus if Terran Vampires weren't stronger than their counterparts, the vampire experience wouldn't be very enjoyable as if they were stronger. They do have weaknesses and disadvantages to balance out their strengths so they're not too strong. By design Terran Vampires may be stronger than Nirnian Vampires but they also have disadvantages that Nirnian Vampires don't have. Again it's mostly about a better vampire experience. But all this is from what I understand from this mod so if I get something wrong sorry lol.

 

Btw I love the photo of Haematikon, it looks great!! :thumbsup:

Nirnian vampires are supposed to be extremely powerful. Its just the implementation that was pathetic. As such, I dont try to match Terran Vampirism to vanilla vampirism in any way. I do them the way that they should be done, getting your opinions to make sure everyone agrees.

Just saying it easy not to push you guys.

 

What do you mean?

 

Is there any chance for release in 2012?

 

Put it this way. If it isn't out in 2012, it probably won't be out at all.

 

 

For some reason my upload quota isnt returning yet. anyone know how long it takes to reset?
