SSE Vampire weapon enchantment that keeps vampires fed.

[CONTRABARDUS]

I like being a Vampire, but feeding is a pain sometimes. After a bit it feels like busywork as you have to do it so often to stay at stage 4.

 

Trying to get the feed animation as a Vampire Lord is unreliable. I tend to not use that form much anyway, occasionally, but I try to use it sparingly as a sort of trump card.

 

I know you don't have to feed as a Vampire Lord, but this is something that would be a convenience and quality of life thing for those of us who don't want to stay at stage 1 all the time or constantly break into homes to feed on sleeping residents, use the seduction power all the time, or use the vampire lord form all the time. As a vampire I like to roleplay as being somewhat secretive about it, and don't want everyone terrified of me because the whole nine holds knows about it because I'm tearing across all of Skyrim in that form. I also tend to prefer stealth as a combat method and like it if I can go undetected through a dungeon. This is especially true later in the game, even more so on higher difficulty levels, when enemies usually outlevel seduction, and your weapons are far better than your claws and the life drain spell the Vampire Lord has is severely underpowered.

 

It'd be nice to be able to just enchant a weapon that feeds you blood as you use it.

 

It wouldn't need to fill you up every time you hit something, just "on death" would be best, kind of like how Soul Trap works.

 

It would also be nice if it only worked on humanoid NPCs.

 

This really wouldn't be lore unfriendly given the effects of some of the other weapons in the game.

 

I'd put it on a low level dagger, iron, and make it so that it can be destroyed for the enchantment at an enchanting table and added to other weapons. I'd put it in a chest somewhere in Dimhollow Crypt. It's not something that would need to be added to the leveled list so that bandits would be carrying them around, and really shouldn't be a common item. Maybe add them as a rare drop for higher level Vampires at most?

 

Bethesda kind of dropped the ball by not making it easier to eat enemies. Say allowing players to interact with them using E once their health was low enough to feed on them in either form. Maybe only against single opponents or with the last enemy standing.

 

At any rate, this would basically eliminate the most boring and tedious part of playing as a vampire in Skyrim, make up for it not being easier to eat enemy NPCs, and really wouldn't be unfriendly lore wise.
