jack013 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 she probably just likes to breath because she has human envy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted4621232User Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 yes they breathe. their blood circulates too. there is no benefit to circulation of blood without breathing and how do you kill a vampire? stop that heart. undead doesn't mean dead, it literally means between dead and alive. it's not a literal reference. zombies don't breathe, vampires do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrgeNexus Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Being dead is irrelevant, you must breathe in order to speak, so regardless of wether Vampires have to breathe or not, they certainly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidzebra Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 9 vs 9 votes, how exciting :ohdear: I don't care if the chest moving up and down is an oversight or intentional, chest moves up and down ingame = breathing. Also being able to drown is a strong argument. "Talking" not so much, that just indicates a vampire still can force air through the larynx if it chooses to do so. Now, knowing the guy asking the question is the wet and cold author, the next logical question should be "is the vampire's body temperature high enough to cause breath condensation in cold climates?" :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my point of view is heavily influenced by other vampire worlds, of course if their blood circulates indeed..that means...that except aging (which is still not confirmed yet) there surely are other processes that remained active.

Grimoa Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Now, knowing the guy asking the question is the wet and cold author... He is? I feel kinda dumb now. >.<...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoku Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I made the decision a few days ago but thanks everyone. Since vampires are considered at least partially undead, cannot be seen through detect life and can live under frozen lakes, I came to the conclusion that their internal body temperatures are likely not high enough to hold moisture in their breaths, regardless of whether they require oxygen or not :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofscotty Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 You can't talk without Breath so there would just be a lot of awkward staring when people ask you to do stuff for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abborre Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 This is in general a good question indead.Elder Scrolls vampire are oftenly refered to as undeads, and I remember reading on the wiki that they can live under frozen lakes, but on the other hand, they can drown in the actual game, wich doesnt seem add up to me. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
