Adjust and Adapt - Overhauling the Oblivion Vampirism

[S0ns0fAnarchY]

Good morning guys ,

 

seeing as most modders moved to Skyrim , it seems Oblivion has been left to die . I would disagree . While Skyrim offers much on this matter ( modding ) , Oblivion was better at delivering an atmospheric gaming experience . I would like to offer some ideas to improve this , focusing on this topic on vampirism .

 

Vanilla vampirism , was by all means flat . No complexity , not much depth to be found . Checking on the lore , that shouldnt be the case . Bethesda , never really paid serious attention on this matter , leaving the modders to try and fix this . For example , Cyrodiliic Vampires are mystical beings tied not as much to Molag Bal but also to Clavicus Vile as well . And then there's the Vampyrum Order of Cyrodiil . A key element absent on the game .

 

Cyrodiliic Vampires seem to adjust and adapt on the situation , staying hidden not by distancing themselves from the world like Skyrim's Volkihar clan but blending in with the Cyrodiliic society . Also , with the existence of the Vampyrum Order , there should be at least some storyline connecting them to each other . Interaction between vampires of all sorts , not just playing war between hidden warbands on caves . Oblivion failed gloriously at that .

 

Straight to the point , I thought that there should be a mod either involving the whole of the Vampyrum Order in the game via a complete storyline , which is hard enough to materialise in a mod , or '' fix '' this in a different way . Regarding of the player's choice on pursuing a path , gain via experience the appropriate abilities . For example , if he/she pursues to be the Archmage of the Mages Guild , to learn mystical powers and spells , as well as blood magic , while if he strives to be Master of the Fighters Guild to enhance his fighting abilities with the appropriate powers . By adjusting and adapting . The possibilities could be endless , as new NPCs inside each guild could guide the player on his path of gaining unique power to bend Cyrodiil to its knees . As Molag Bal would dictate .

 

What do you think guys ? By interacting with the world and of course feeding , wouldn't it be better for the vampire to evolve and dominate ? We're not talking about simple abilities gain but a whole new gaming experience through choices . Of course , all paths can be possible to be followed if the player chooses so .
