nolgroth Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Kuei-Jin resemble vampires but are also apparently shape shifters. At least they were in the Bloodlines computer game. I am not sure if they dine on blood or just get straight to the living essence of their victims. They were a faction that you could ally with or oppose in the Bloodlines computer game and I don't recall seeing them eat at all. In terms of their abilities, most of them seemed on par with the typical Kindred vampire. The only truly notable exception was the main Kuei-Jin character, who could morph into other humanoid shapes and into some giant slug thing. This may all be radically different from the PnP Vampire games. Far more icky to me were the ones who could morph their bodies and make some nasty, animated pets from dead peoples body parts. Those guys were outright nasty. Sadly, I don't remember the name of the individual or clan. I remember he talked like Ricardo Montalban though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madae Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) ^ I think you're talking about the Tzimisce. Maybe there will be a total-conversion mod to make Skyrim like the Vampire universe, but I don't see any reason to add the Kuei Jin. You can argue that they aren't really like vampires, but they kinda are (I'm expecting flak from purists on this), and there are vampires in the game already. Just make some mods to change their powers and there you go. Edited November 5, 2011 by Madae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El`derina Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 errr... arnt those vampires also? sooo... whats the point of this thread? to state skyrim should feature vampires when vampires are already in? Maybe it would help to explain what type of vampire it is... Kuei-Jin aren't vampires, they similar but at the same time completely different. That's helpful..... :wallbash: Kuei Jin are beings that have died and returned to life via a process called the second breath. They are based on vampires in classical Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian mythology. It would take a while to get into the specifics so these links may help. http://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Kuei-jin http://theanarchstate.wikidot.com/kj:kuei-jin-versus-kindred http://s6.invisionfree.com/Masquerade_Project/ar/t17.htm thats better! however, I am in agreement that it should be a modification of the existing vampires... actually not sure why TES vampires can't morph. and wtf, they don't turn from catching the disease via bites.... and no neck biting? thats not romatic at all! *makes sad pouty face*(or at least im assuming this, since they turn into this via a 'process' and second life as you put it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does not mean that Kuei-Jin are not romantic. Kuei-Jin also have several advantages over vampires for instance: they don’t have to drink blood. Lower level Kuei-Jin drink blood but as they advance they can absorb chi energy (life energy) from breath and even from the world itself. Kuei-Jin can resist sun damage longer than vampires. Also their humanity depends more on what type of Chi energy they feed on (Yin or Yang). Yin oriented Kuei-Jin appear monstrous and corpse like while Yang oriented appear more human and life like. Yang oriented Kuei-Jin also take more pleasure from food and sex. Edited November 6, 2011 by AgentGrady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falloutreign Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 It would be interesting but I feel as though it wouldn't really fit the theme of skyrim, seems more suited to Akavir. If we were going by which WoD vampires would be most suited to Skyrim i would have to vote for the Gangrel. Although I would love to see the Tzmisce or something similar xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I would simply vote to bethesda buying the rigths to vampire the masquerade franchise and wait for an amazing game. XD One can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco856 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I want Gangrel...I liked their beast powers in Bloodlines, the others were always so pompous...they rubbed me the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
