Agreed. Quests MODs about vampires are rare resources. Those that did this part were usually excellent MODs.

Great ideas! However I doubt whether such complicated functions could be done in Skyrim...

Looks like the event will only occur during an eclipse. Haven't seen it either. Well that would be a ton of work... Theoretically speaking, it's not difficult to change vampire face textures to human face textures if that's what you mean. Actually I've seen some similar MODs on Nexus. Lore, story and quests MODs are beyond the existing vampire MODs. However, a story that is compatible with Dawnguard is difficult to compose. Yeah, as I've said above, Dawnguard as an official vampire-theme DLC itself in a way limits other vampire-theme stories from composing. Really tons of work. Better Vampires does have something like feeding attack animation. When an enemy is bleeding, you can feed on him(just like the power bite in Vampire Lord form). In Bloodrayne and VTMB, you can feed on any human eneny anytime, which I think lower the difficulty in battle( and the "Stylish" of course). Anyway, it's a good idea.

Couldn't agree more. The VTM series show a dark world with many kinds of supernatural creatures. Its background is basically 1500s-2000s of the real world. Humans believed that they're dominant on Earth but seldom realized the existance of the dark world. However, TES game series have a rather independent system of history, culture, religion, not to mention the well-known Divines and Daedras. People on Nirn are not as arrogant as people on Earth, which I believe is not good for a vampire story to develop. Also, behind the VTM series there are a well-written script providing numbers of option for the player to control the whole story. What you do really matters in the game. I think that's what makes it a legendary RPG, whether it's a vampire-theme game or not: you're really composing your character's life. Skyrim, unlike Fallout 3(without BrokenSteel) and Fallout NV, doesn't have a true ending. It's a double-edged sword. Can enjoy the world more completely but give up the sense of achievement. Just a few opinions of mine.

But what if you can only kill a vampire by chopping off her head or sticking through her heart in game(maybe using an option or a power), while she is flagged as "Essential" when you use other attack types? I had used Mthralling for awhile. It's a wondelful MOD. Great idea and well-scripted. Don't quite understand the animation issue you talked about.

Discuss anything about vampires. Any thoughts could be a good idea for an overhaul MOD or a quest MOD. Vampire attributes, appearance, related stories, in-game functions, etc. For example, I prefer that vampires can retain their mortal appearance after they're turned so that they can hide themselves in mortal society.
