Trykz Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Especially liking the concept behind this idea, I decided to do something toward seeing it realized....... The basics were pretty simple since I already created a very similar race mod a while back. These shots were taken immediately after character creation: Yes. You actually start the game AS a vampire. As a PureBlood should. No cheesy "go get infected" crap here. And no "uglification" factor either. However, there IS a downside: you can NEVER be cured of your vampirism. More on this to follow..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extra info: I'm working on permissions to use this guy as the model for the "Aspect of Molag Bal" He's already set up as a summon-able NPC. I'd also like to set this up as a full-featured SexLab mod, with a complete quest line to acquire the spell that summons him after your initial meeting. He is, after all, how you came to be. It's only right you should get something more in return for what he put you through My Papyrus skills are quite rusty, so that part might take some time. Finally (and it should go without saying really LOL), there will be no male models for this race. More in the coming days/weeks....... Trykz
Skyrimfloo Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'm curious about something. How good does those gloves look in action? I tried to adapt them when I did the rest of the armor and they looked like sausages.

They do leave a little to be desired They kinda remind me of another set of gloves I can't remember the name of Trykz
Deedlit Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 that will be fully compatible with ECE? just curios because if compatible will be awesome so can use slides like hell.

Guest Mogie56 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Finally pretty Vampires, well at least in there normal state A copy of Nirn, including the Imperial Palace, but desecrated and ruined. The ground is sludge, the sky is on fire, and the air is freezing. Coldharbour, The Realm of Molag Bal, luckily these pretty creatures live in Skyrim, or soon will and that is one badass looking Molag Bal you have there. or should I say "May have".
Standman Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 NICE. This is perhaps the best idea since I saw the SexLab mod that lets your player act a succubus alongside her race... won't work with this one though, that's it's own quest script altogether and is intended that way. No reason to not make a character for this race though, I like vampires all the same. And a vampire like Serana (WAIFU) herself is definitely something I can get behind!On another note, does the description mean that this race will be permanently flagged as a vampire as per vanilla mechanics? Also, how would the forced lycanthropy via Companions be handled?
Trykz Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 On another note, does the description mean that this race will be permanently flagged as a vampire as per vanilla mechanics? Also, how would the forced lycanthropy via Companions be handled? Yes. They are permanent vampires. They aren't derived from any human race, as they are based on the NordRaceVampire. As for the Companions quest, I'm not exactly sure until I check in testing. I'm assuming (for the moment) that you would become a hybrid of both. But we'll see. As of right now, some vampiric powers don't actually manifest until you first feed. Which is not a big deal, since I'm also including a suitable vampire lair with the race, complete with usable coffins, your choice of male or female vampire follower, and around 10 or so vampire cattle to feed upon.

Trykz Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Alrighty then....... it would seem that the author of the mod I got the demon model from, actually used the model without actually acquiring proper permissions. On his Nexus page, he states that he can't remember which mod he got it from or who created it, but his mod is still active on Nexus although he hasn't posted/updated in quite a while. Therefore, I'm not sure what direction to go in now to acquire proper permissions for it's use. For now, my intention is to use the model for this mod, but with the stipulation that it's subject to removal should it's initial creator step forward and request such action. In other news, the basics are nearly all in place. The race itself is complete and I'm still testing anything and everything I can think of. I've yet to test it with any of the popular vampire overhaul mods, so I'm not sure how it's going to react. In those mods, you actually have to be "turned into" a vampire. In this, you start as one. Hopefully this won't prove to be too problematic. I'm hopeful to make contact with the authors to see if any workarounds can be devised should any incompatibilities arise. I'm about to load up my test character to determine how the race is going to react to werewolf transformations. Fingers crossed LOL Trykz
Trykz Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Okay..... changing into a werewolf has an..... odd effect. Transformation "to" a werewolf worked flawlessly. As it usually does. However, the transformation "back" has the odd effect of turning the race into a Wood Elf The game's werewolf transformation effect cures vampirism automatically. So I may need to script around this so that part of the effect doesn't cure it. I'm pretty sure I can make a script that will only affect this race by setting the race as a condition of skipping the cure. Back to the CK Trykz
Guest Ragna_Rok Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 ... no males? ... i mean that seriously dude, no males? ... but... then im never gonna be able to play that one... well, anyhow, good luck
Guest Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 ... no males? ... i mean that seriously dude, no males? ... but... then im never gonna be able to play that one... well, anyhow, good luck A male Daughter of Coldharbour?

Goryokaku Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 are you saying your really a girl trapped in a mans body?
RezTheFatal Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 It’s so hard to convey sarcasm properly through an message board.
sarahlost36 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 probably a bit ambitious, but have you thought about how Harkon would acknowledge another Daughter of Coldharbor? He makes so much fun of you if you show up as a vampire... "oh you probably caught some disease"... "We are among the oldest and most powerful vampires" and so on. And how would the Vampire Lord stuff interact with this race? i am definitely intrigued, would love to start as a "real" vampire!

And how would the Vampire Lord stuff interact with this race? i am definitely intrigued, would love to start as a "real" vampire! I don't usually mess around with any important npcs. Too many things can get broken that way. Forcing Harkon to view the PC differently runs the high potential of breaking all (or at least parts) of the Dawnguard questlines. At the moment i'm trying to sort out issues with werewolf transformations so the Companions questlines will function normally. Once I sort that, I'll begin testing vampire lord stuff. The transformations shouldn't be an issue, but the transformation back to the original race might have issues. I'm expecting to have much less trouble with vampire related mechanics than werewolf. But we'll see. Trykz
sarahlost36 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Agreed, it'd be funny if you showed up at Dawnguard HQ to start the quest, and everyone freaked out because omg a daughter of cold harbor is here, most probably to wipe out the fledgling dawnguard meanies. Attacked on site, no Dimhollow quest, no Serana, no Harkon and it just goes on from there... so yes i understand what you are getting at. But thanks for a most intriguing new race to play someday!
AlerictheNord Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Found this on the Nexus! This will go really nicely with the Daughter of Cold Harbor. Summoning Dremora of Coldharbour! http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51596/?
arkanae Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Interested self-reference: a thread I started about ideas for a Ritual of Molag Bal: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/28750-ritual-of-molag-bal-anyone-working-on-this/ Basically, the idea is (temporary or permanent) full-blood vampirism for those who would offer themselves as slaves of Molag Bal... a dangerous and painful way to gain Vampire Lord powers.
Daguy Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah, one of the first mods I suggested post-Dawnguard was a quest where you would give yourself, or be given so that the more innocent characters could fall prey, to Molag Bal and become a Vampire (Lord) that way. this is very nice, and my compliments, but its a shame that no one ever took up the original idea, even though it was pretty popular and would make a pretty decent quest, long or short. Forced into it? It could be Molag Bal cultists that force you into it. Willing? Perhaps you actively seek out the cultists, or the shrine.
xenic Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 @Trykz How is this mod coming along? It looks very interesting.
