Great start to the new chapter! There were some fantastic shots in the cave; amazing scenery and lighting. I imagine this isn't the last of the feral vampires we'll see. I really like the culture you have between the noble vampires and the feral ones. I would love to see more of it expanded on as the chapter goes on!

Thank you Collygon! But tbh, there won't be anymore ferals in this chapter (or in the next ones) I don't think there's enough material for a longer conflict as the power difference is just very high between my noble vampires and the ferals.

I understand for the spine gouge-out, and for the "not really a fight" scene, but I wanted to underline even in very unbalanced fights actually showing things adds value to the telling. ?

I agree, see the necromancer fight in the remake of chapter 1.

Everyone has his own interpretation of Serana I think. Yours already significantly deviates from the vanilla one, as she is taking parts into your vampires meetings and orgies... While her excessively repeated avoidance of too personal conversations with the dragonborn in my opinion implies she is shy in that matter. And possibly more than that, as it is possible her rape by Molag Bal was her first sexual encounter, affecting the way she'll behave in that area.

Technically Serana should have never been part of Chapter 4 and the vampire meeting as she doesn't belong there. Back then I was despite to get enough vampires in that room to call it a vampire assembly. I imagine this to 6-7 times larger then it is shown, which is of course impossible due to technical limitations.

If I had to to it again it would maybe be twice as big. Anyway I didn't have enough vampires to fill the room with guests and nobility etc. and I was using almost every vampire of the nexus that felt right for that scenario. 

In fact there is a Khajiit in the assembly and he's only present because I needed another vampire and since he is a Khajiit it's hard to tell whether he's a vampire or not. 

In general Serana's personality ingame doesn't feel right to me. She's several thousand years old and even if you start very shy you change over time. A thousand years is such a long time, it's beyond our imagination for personality development. Just think about how much people change between lets say age 20 to age 40 or so. Even if you assume that slows down eventually, a thousand years will change a shy girl drastically.

Serana may get a pass on it because she was locked up sleeping in tomb for hundreds of years, and that may have influenced her personality but I don't think this would have happend in my version of Tamriel... and even before she was alive for a very long time so she shouldn't be that shy imo.

Anyway, I think it's better for me if I leave Serana untouched in my story because everybody knows and loves her and I don't want to mess with that.

I'll let him know. But his girlfriend Lenora might be upset about it. If you already think Nora is 'meany' then you haven't met her yet. 

Just to let you know beforehand.

Great work! The whole cave scene was awesome! 

So, mister @Alter Native, would you please tell me what spoiler to open for the things I said earlier I like. I gave 10 minutes to LL to open your entry and it didn't opened even half.

I just checked the file size, there are 237 images as jpgs and the total file size is 115 MB unless you're on mobile it should load within a couple of seconds. The images are hosted on flickr which is typically very good and very fast at displaying images.

I'm sorry if the images don't load for you, but it seems the problem is on your end/your internet connection, but following the comment of your wife it did load for her a couple of days ago, so it might just be a temporal problem.  

But to answer your question, the third spoiler has the sex scene. MF- consensual but in a pool of dead vampire blood (they were evil), not sure if that's what you were looking for in the first place.

Thanks Alter.

Well - the software shack that gave us this game never really thought about making certain constructs (like the vampires) consistent.

So there's a lot of half-baked stuff there - which allows a player to create their very own version of a vampire.

I even have a biological daughter of MalagBal with his first victim - the progenitor of all vampires.

Thanks to an ingenious mod author who created his own "vampire" race for this purpose.

The gap in power potentials from her to Harkon is somewhat that of Harkon (or Serana) to Nora.

I think that Serana was a kind of "tribute" to potential players/buyers to have at least one representative of the "glitter" vampires in the game

Sorry if I’m a few years late and I have not read the rest of your story, so I don’t have the full context.

In the game Serana is never really portrayed as being weak, traumatised or shy, that’s kind of a perversion or ideal that people project onto her. In fact there are rare dialogues in which she basically admits to being proud of being a vampire and that she stills worships Molag Bal. And if you choose the Volkihar side of the questline it’s clear she has no problems with keeping blood thralls, killing innocents or having torture rooms in the castle, so judging by that standard she’d fit well in your universe.
