    What I've heard, lorewise, is that early-stage vampirism is _so_ easy to cure that turning into a full-blown Vampire could _only_ mean you did so deliberately, and thus are very blatantly up to no good. Hence the less-than-zero vampire sympathy.

      that's the explanation given in Vampires of Vvardenfell Volume 1 I think
      of course, it's a highly ignorant one, there are children who are born to vampires, or the possibility of being forcibly turned (think a Molag Bal cult kidnapping people, infecting them, and then denying them the cure until they turn)

    Vampirism in Morrowind is pretty fun. But i wish there was an illusion spell you unlock after finishing one of the clan's questlines where it masks your vampirism for a limited time so you can actually talk to people without them vilifying you. (basically the Mortal Mask ability from the Better Vampires mod in Skyrim)

    I'm sure someone else has already mentioned it in the comments, but while Arena didn't have Vampirism, Daggerfall did, and it's exactly what you'd expect out of that game: kind of cool, kind of weird, kind of jank as hell.
    See, the whole 'vampire clan' thing was Daggerfall's primary vampire draw. There were, like, nine bloodlines in Daggerfall, with each little region of the map being dedicated to one of those clans. The clans essentially functioned as another form of "guild", and they had their whole little batch of quests you could undertake.
    Vampires in DG came with the usual slate of stat boosts, skill boosts, some spells and immunities, and each clan also had a unique bonus, similar to MW. Unfortunately, Daggerfall's clan bonuses were mostly just extra spells (one clan even gave you a Free Action spell, even though vampires can't get paralyzed in the first place!).
    And on top of that, they had the requisite vulnerability to sunlight/holy areas, so you'd take 12 damage every 20 real-life seconds if you were standing outside during the day, in a temple, or in a Fighters Guild in Hammerfell. I believe the fast-travel system accounted for this, at least? But it's still inconvenient, to say the least.
    Even more troublesome is the fact that, when you become a vampire, you quite literally "die" and get revived. Were you a high-ranking master of the Fighters Guild? Were you in the middle of a quest for the Dark Brotherhood? Too bad! Vampirism resets your reputation and revokes all your guild memberships (because they thought you died, remember?), and if that means you were kicked out of a one-time-only guild... well, uh, too bad again!
    Basically, vampirism sounds cool and is kinda interesting, but much like in the rest of the series, it's more of a novelty than anything.
    Daggerfall's Lycanthropy is even less fleshed-out -- no clans, no unique were-quests -- but ironically it was arguably more practical. Being a were-creature didn't reset your reputation, the stat/skill boosts applied to human form as well, and if you did Hircine's quest, the ring basically nullified all the disadvantages (no need to kill innocents, no involuntary transformations).

    • @qwesx
      @qwesx 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +71

      You're right, Daggerfall's fast travel system will make vampires take twice the normal travel time, prevent initiating fast-travel during the day and will make vampires arrive at nightfall when traveling cautiously (instead of in the morning). It's a bad idea for low-level vampires to travel recklessly as well, since you could arrive at your destination at high noon.
      I feel it's still kind of cool from a role-playing perspective - just get it early on and don't get cured...
      Lycanthropy is properly busted though. Everything you do as a werewolf/-boar is treated as a separate entity (crimes you commit as a werecreature are not reflected on your character) and Illiac Bay citizens apparently do not grasp the concept of object permanence, so even if you transform into or back from a werecreature right before their eyes they don't realize it's you. And, as you mentioned, with Hircine's Ring your get all of the advantages with none of the disadvantages.
      If you think Daggerfall is too hard then just become a werewolf or wereboar.

    • @ExplosiveLasers
      @ExplosiveLasers 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +39

      I did a playthrough as a vampire in Daggerfall, and it added a lot of fun elements to the game different from the norm. It's very powerful and adds unique challenges to get around (for example, I made a strong health shield spell to get around during the day PURELY so that I could visit the bank, since banks have daylight business hours).
      The clans vary heavily in how outrageous they are. I was a Haarvenu clan vampire from Anticlere, which means my clan spells were Ice Storm and Wildfire. Since they're AoE damaging spells and you cast clan spells for half their normal magicka cost, I could cast them on the ground in front of me and my spell absorption would replenish my magicka more than the cost of the spell. It made for an absolutely ludicrous battlemage build. Infinite, powerful destruction spells.
      The big benefit to vampires over lycanthropes, in my opinion, is that vampires can sate their bloodlust by killing any living creature (including animals and non-undead dungeon enemies), whereas lycanthropes HAVE to kill innocents (like guards or civilians). The penalty for not doing it is also less of a problem for vampires. Ignoring the morality, it's just a bit more annoying to deal with. Additionally, lycanthropes can't loot or anything while they're transformed, which is annoying while dungeon crawling.

    • @RamadaArtist
      @RamadaArtist 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      I love that the werewolf treatment has stayed pretty consistent throughout the series. Always seems like it's going to be a huge goddamn chore, but you can pretty much also always just get Hircine's Ring instead and then negate all of the drawbacks!

      But I like that they make you work for it instead. Like the ultimate vampire would learn charm and master their personality and therefore would have no problem talking to people with 100 disposition. But it assumes normal people are not automatically as suave as Dracula, and I think that’s more realistic. Like the normal person is the norm and they don’t handle the transition well nor are they hundreds of years into the transformation and fully able to capitalize on the benefits.

The vampires also have some factions on it depending on where did you get vamprism which make the thing more interesting. The advantages are based on your faction, so you will get different buff with different faction, they will also give you a quest and you will mostly travel at night because during the day you cant rest. Also you cant fast travel during the day so you have to make sure you always on night. Also since you die during the process all your reputation in different region will start from zero.

      If you mod it and learn to love the turn based dice roll deal, it definitely holds up with a full overhaul mod list and the new engine of OpenMW. You get fancy shaders and fov and everything. Mine basically looks like Oblivion/Skyrim, but with Morrowinds mechanics. Feels like a modern AAA with a more indie art style

OpenMW is buttery smooth and a rock solid and brand new engine. Go for the OpenMW mod list of your choice and you will have a much better time.

    @3rd.Eye.Saw.Destruction หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Vampirism in daggerfall turns you into a monster that can destroy anyone. You become immune to everything that’s annoying or dangerous and the weaknesses aren’t too disruptive. The worst thing about it is that quests are more difficult to complete due to fast travel always advancing to 8pm when you arrive whether that’s 6 hours after arrival or 23 hours. It’s slightly more annoying to interact with merchants and you will get a letter every week (iirc) to start a quest to cure your vampirism and occasionally you will encounter mercenaries that will be significantly higher level than you

    13:03 since it's usually used to represent an approximant (in welsh it's more often used to represent a vowel), it’s fairly rare to see the letter w written in a doubled form.
    the consonant phoneme it represents (labial-velar approximant) is not often subject to gemination (doubling) in natural languages; though a few double the character to indicate a consonant length distinction (eg /w/ ‘w’ vs /w:/ ‘ww’).
    as one example, in Luganda: if a w would be subject to a sound-shift germination rule that would otherwise turn it into ‘ww’, it instead becomes ‘ggw’.
    english does write 'ww' clusters in words like 'glowworm' or the adopted 'powwow'; but in most of these cases it's an orthographic thing rather than a distinct pronunciation.

Then they rewired the propylon network to skip over where Kogoruhn's used to be and left the place to fall to ruin. At least that's what makes sense to me.

    You can only level up sneak, short blade, marksman with only throwable weapons, security, and unarmored (maybe also athletics and acrobatics to speed things up a bit), every attack must be critical sneak attack, if possible, and no scrolls to open locks are allowed. The goal is to beat the game

  • @MatthewFronsoe
    @MatthewFronsoe 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I don't know if anyone mentioned, but you can use a scroll of Icarian flight before landing to negate fall damage.
    Because it increases your Jump, and jump has to take into account that you survive your own jumps, using a second scroll before landing basically acts identically to having a point of slowfall and negates damage. I used to jump from Tarhiel to Balmora using this method on the old Xbox version
