Unbelievable! The mods for Skyrim vampires are by no means inferior in popularity to weapon upgrades or plot additions. Retexture of armor, distinctively drawn fangs, animation of blood sucking, facial features and eyes - all that is part of the gloomy aesthetics of night residents.
Tamriel Bloodsuckers
The original The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim equated the nocturnal inhabitants with the usual enemies of the protagonist, who differ from others in their ability to infect the Sanguinar Vampiris.
The sore is dangerous and serves as a harbinger of turning a dovakin into a ghoul. Symptoms vary (depending on the clan that owns the vampire). It is cured if the player takes measures within three days after infection:
- You can turn to the sentinel Stendarra ;
- kneel in prayer before the altar of any of the nine gods;
- drink a potion of healing from all diseases.
With the release of the Dawnguard expansion, the vampire race became isolated, acquired personal quests, interesting characters and locations. Ability development branches and exclusive arrows capable of extinguishing the sun were added. Fans did not stand aside and implemented a number of interesting mods for vampires of Skyrim.
Supreme night dweller
The new image adopted by Dovakin is borrowed from Lord Harkon, the father of Serana from the castle of Volkihar. Players do not like damage indicators. To correct the nonsense, the Skyrim Lord Vampire mod was released, setting the indicators to 4/8/12/16 (in the form of an ordinary person) and 30/50/90/150 (in the form of a winged monster). In other words, a hungry vampire is a powerful vampire.
The improved flight mod allows you to soar over the mountains like a bird or a dragon. In fact, to have wings and not to fly is illogical.
Separately, it is worth noting the amateur modification “Royal Lord Vampire”, which adds the following perks to the game:
- Eclipse. The sun hides in the shadows for 30 seconds, increasing melee damage and magic by 50%. Character incoming damage reduced by 50%. It is applied once a day.
- Summon Gargoyle. On the side of the dovakin, Goliath, the lord of the gargoyles, fights.
- Blood Transformation. 25 health turns into 15 units of stamina and magic. The hero can interrupt the process at any time.
- Wings. The rudimentary processes on the back, which serve more as decoration, now justify the purpose. This is another mod for Skyrim vampires that allows you to fly, and also adds +50 to stamina.
- Perfection of Molag Bal (level 1/2/3). Blood magic harms the enemy 10/20/30% more, respectively.
- Nightmare rune. Teaches you how to create a Runic Mark of Nightmare, touching which terrifies the enemy.
- Barrier Balag Ball. A protective spell that blocks 50 damage over 35 mana per second.
- Royal Family Tree. The speed of replenishing magic, stamina, and health is increased by 10%, +50 to the level of health, puts the character in Lord Harkon's armor.
- Sharp Claws 1/2/3. Increases melee damage by 15/30/45%, +5/10/15% to critical strike, which deals 10/20/30% additional damage to the enemy.
The creator of the mod for vampires "Skyrim" has provided for interaction with the locks of doors and chests. Now you do not need to take its original form. Reduced random damage done to Serana when a girl accidentally falls under the distribution.
Vampire Collection
Modification that improves the appearance of the equipment, allows not only to replace indicators, but also to embellish the image of the character and companions. There are a lot of improvements. You only need to install them correctly in order to play without bugs in TES 5 Skyrim.
The vampire mod introduces a number of external changes to the outfit:
- removes the brooch of the Volkihar clan from the clothes of vampires of other bloods;
- the male armor disappeared from the shoulders;
- all equipment options are divided into red, white and black (and painted accordingly);
- forges in any forge.
The armor of Serana, Harkon and Valerika underwent a change in appearance: they became brighter and more detailed.
There is a chest in Lord Harkon's room in which the Dovakin can find a set of items:
- Armor. Increases life by 50, destruction magic requires 60% less energy.
- Gloves. +50 to mana, +60% damage with one-handed weapons.
- Boots. Stamina adds 50 units, +50% to fire resistance.
- Sword. Absorbs 30 magic, strength and health of the enemy. In the event of a critical hit, the soul stone is filled.
- Hood. When donned, protects the vampire from exposure to sunlight.
In addition to all of the above, possible crashes and bugs of the quest "Guardians of the Dawn and Vampires" have been fixed. The enemy death animation has been adjusted: dragons no longer “dance the tarantella” after death.
What makes a face mod in Skyrim
Vampires, subjected to changes from fan modifications, often become the product of unsuccessful experiments, therefore it is advisable to select files wisely. Otherwise, the desire to play disappears.
As a rule, the whole face changes, especially a lot of textures are invented in the eyes of a vampire. The mod for Skyrim affects all changes in the head: the pupils, the shape of the eyes and mouth, the jaw and the length of the fangs.
For example, for greater realism, the fangs are shortened, they are removed from the lower jaw altogether, the teeth become brighter. Fangs become distinguishable in dialogs.
As a rule, the glow is removed from the eyes, the form becomes almond-shaped, eyelashes are added. There are a lot of textures of vampire eyes, because each player chooses to his taste.
Reservation
Fan works, changing the appearance of vampire armor, are also great. The mod for the vampire armor for Skyrim, as a rule, adds frightening external attributes like skulls, bones and horns.
In addition, transformations are possible with hanging all kinds of jewelry. A cloak and a hood are usually added to the kit.
Retexture of the Serana family
But this improvement adds radically new vampires to the gameplay. The mod on Skyrim completely changes the shape of faces, eyes, hairstyles and the appearance of Valerika and Serana. Lord Harkon after turning receives other fangs and eyes.
It is curious that the installation of the mod prevents the healing of Serana from vampirism by referring to the necromancer Falion in Morphal.
Bloody thirst
Unusual "supplement", including the regime of hunger in vampires. Every night the bloodsucker is forced to hunt.
A victim is selected in some uninhabited corner, after which the night hunter attempts to quietly sneak up. If the NPC suspects something is wrong, the vampire again pretends to be an ordinary person, and later retries to attack.
Once opened, the ghoul will run away and give up trying to feast on until the next night. If the hunt ends successfully, the victim will simply lose consciousness, and upon waking up, he will forget everything.
This mod also improves the battle system of Serana: it will bite the neck of enemies with a small amount of health.
Serana Lord Vampire
The fan-made mod “Secret of Serana” grants the ability of a beautiful companion to transform with the protagonist. It takes on the form of a Lord, even if the dovakin is a werewolf.
The model is no different from the female version: the same rudimentary wings on the back, disgusting face and ridiculously spaced arms. However, if there is a Skyrim vampire mod that allows you to fly, the Dovakin will be able to move through the air with his companion (provided that both vampires).
The plugin provides the ability to turn off transformations during the game. A spell appears in the player’s arsenal that can pull Serana out if the girl is stuck somewhere (including in textures).
Little serana
The community of those who lost their heads from a cute vampire thinks so extraordinary that a plug-in was invented that adds children to the game who are miniature copies of Serana and Valerika.
A function has been registered that allows them to be adopted (as part of the HearthFire addon), coming to an orphanage in Riften. Added Babette's replayer and two Vaitran orphans: Sofia and Filia.
There are a number of options that customize the add-on completely at the request of the player. The only problem: a bug can come out when trying to cure Serana from vampirism.
Verdict
No matter how many add-ons or mods for Skyrim vampires come out, and gamers are looking for a way to marry Seran. Whatever one may say, the developers did not plan such a favorable outcome.
Therefore, after installing the mod, the ceremony can be held. But after the dialogue with the girl, meeting in the house of the dovakin will not work. Most likely, the young lady will return to Volkihar castle, from where the player will be able to pick her up again.
If you try to heal her, something will work (maybe), but it’s better to look for another mod for Skyrim vampires, which allows you to make her a full-fledged bride.
Although, if you think about it, is it necessary? In the end, Serana is an excellent companion, and she will be of more use in the battle, because she owns sword and magic, and is also able to summon gargoyles.
The housewife will not come out very well.
