Kraeten Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 After getting my feet wet in the new DLC, I've found the Vampire Lord transformation to be quite rewarding. So rewarding in fact, that it makes the werewolf alternative pretty unattractive. Moreover, you don't even have to be evil to become one as you get an opprotunity to become a Vampire Lord regardless of which side you choose in the conflict. So, the question I pose to you is why NOT become a Vampire Lord and reap the many benefits that come with such power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Early game? I'd take Vampire lord any day.Late game? As in 60+. It's about useless. The time it takes me to kill a skeleton, which takes 2 hit with my warhammer, is astoundingly long. I talk about 5 minute of spamming claws/Absorb health ability. That said, I believe mods will balance and tweak it to perfection in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit a fun thing to do, not efficient enough.I am afraid if I met a revered, or stronger, dragon in Vampire Lord form, I would have to be whacking on him for at least 2 houres. And I litteraly mean 2 houres. As of now I believe I kill 10-11 times faster as a hybrid character using a 2 handed enchanted dadreic warhammer at level 68, than I do when I sit in Vampire Lord form. A gargoyle sentinel, or whatever they are called, survived a good 2 minute of me clawing and absorbing him. I then took me 8 seconds, and 3 power attacks, with my warhammer. Mind you, with my warhammer my gear is enchanted for less destruction damage/more magicka/2 handed damage increase. So I could probably double my damage as a pure 2h warrior if I wanted to. Now, with that said, I bet before 40 Vampire Lord is pretty strong, and by itself it is very fun being one. But as the OP asked: Is there a reason not to be one? Yes, at higher level it's just as good as being a werewolf -- it's fun, but that's about it. Matth Edited August 4, 2012 by Matth85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayFrosty05 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Reason not to: Role Playing....My Dovahkin is a Werewolf with extreme hatred of Vampires, he certainly wouldn't become one....and I know I am very looking forward to having him go toe to toe with a Vamp Lord or more.

Pretty much. My main character isn't interested in being anything except a dragonblooded human. She takes quite a bit of pride in that - at this point she has actually somewhat started thinking like a dragon, and becoming a werewolf or any kind of vampire would basically be a downgrade for her. Be a Vampire Lord.You don't need to use the transformation if you don't want,you can just be one.Trust me, it's cool,when you're a Vampire,you are the most powerful creature in all of Skyrim. I'm pretty sure my Lv67 or so dovahkiin is already the most powerful creature in all of Skyrim. It's been a while since she met anything that even comes close to being a threat to her.

modder3434 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 some choose not to be a Vampire Lord due to role-play reasons, others don't like the game mechanics of playing as one. the fools, denying themselves the ultimate gift, they are denying themselves the opportunity to become a LION among SHEEP! With this gift they would never fear DEATH AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
