GarbagePickles Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'd really appreciate if someone would upload a save right before talking to Harkon or right outside Castle Volikhar, because for me turning into a vampire lord is bugged. I don't become a vampire, just get the vampire lord power. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityW Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This is why I follow a very strict 3 save file rule. Rotating between the 3 files so that if something really bad happens to file I am currently saved on. I can go to a file that will be far enough back that I can correct issue or go around it until I find the solution to the problem. Still I am getting the same issue for my char. Are you playing as a Vanilla Race or a Custom Race. I am playing as a Mithra Race. I get the, "I am not a real vampire" bug. No one anywhere sees me as one, even Dawnguard.

xEVILMICKx Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I don't even get the choice...I get to Harkon, he changes and then instantly tells me that I am banished, and I end up outside. I actually WANT to do the vampire lord story line. I can't use the crossbows either as they are glitchy. I am using lore friendly races, but I do have body mods and various other mods as well. this is just annoying. I can't use the items for the dawngaurd, and I can't become a vampire lord...if this is the problems we are having with the PC, I don't even want to imagine what is going on with the PS3 version sense they haven't released it yet. you'd think dumb bugs like this would have been figured out a long time ago. it's not like they haven't been working on this for months.

XMissWooX Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So has anyone figured out whats causing this? I am having the same problem, and can't work it out.I am also using a custom race, but whilst Serana recognises me as a vampire ("I smelled you before I even opened my eyes"), Harkon does not (calls me a mortal and I don't get the "already a vampire" dialogue).Additionally, I can't absorb the Drain Vitality shout from the word wall in Dimhollow Cavern.

sinnerman69 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) this thread might have a solution to do with faction codes that may help, read through the posts to see what I mean, the last post on page 2 might help too Edited August 31, 2012 by sinnerman69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XMissWooX Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So I tested this a little bit more.I am unable to use the Vampire Lord power. When prompted to use it, I select it, press the button, but nothing happens at all. I lose the ability to switch between third and first person and lose access to the character menu.Trying to use the console to progress the quest works, but Harkon still stands around saying "transform into the vampire lord". I used the console to unlock the door, and ran around the castle. The other vampires there talk to me as usual, and aren't aggressive at all. So i believe that I am in the 'correct' faction as far as Serana and all the other vampires are concerned.However, I still can't turn into a Vampire Lord, and as long as Harkon keeps telling me to transform I can't continue the questline for fear of him being glitched later on.
