The New Greymoor Trailer.
Shows what looks to be a vampire that can do all kind of stuff. The one that hisses his fangs and he looks very very great he looks like a vampire and what vampires should look like and he looks peak in power. At the end of the trailer we see a vampire lord who looks like stage one. He looks more human of course but obviously stage one but also has this more feral more thirsty I want to drink your blood and suck you dry vibe. That is how vampirism should look like in the game. Get rid of the garbage zombie like weird appearance and keep the stage one and stage two appearances.
The stage system does not seem to be something every Elder scrolls vampire has. It was a byproduct of how they did the Oblivion Vampirism.
Morrowind vampires did not have it and daggerfall vampires didn't have it.They added it with Oblivion that was copied and pasted over to Skyrim then to Eso.
Given the overhaul its just not needed anymore. We don't need four stages. Here is why. The new system they are doing with them is making them feel powerful all that would be needed is very sated and very thirsty. Many use these passives in pvp. Feeding can be very annoying. Of course we should have to feed to have such power. Problem is vampires have to be at stage four their power. What they are reversing it. Not only making it more annoying but also having to waste bloody mara. Getting it back up to the peak. That is what pvp players will have to do.
Pvpers will not be happy about it. Feeding to be powerful only to look like stage four and more like a zombie then a vampire well that isn't appealing to roleplayers like myself who want to be vampires and not zombies. People are demanding Skins or cover up vampire appearance for a reason and I think that the zombie look should be removed. Don't need it. Give us vampires please.
Under the new system if they cut out and just make it two stages this would be what the vampire at its most powerful and well fed would look like.

Vampires that look like they could use a neck or two. With things in reverse and the stages cut down.
Stage one would look like my Nordic character does in stage two.
Most powerful Undeath Passive, Supernatural recovery. 25% Fire Weakness 21 Percent reduced vampire abilty costs.
Stage two would look like my stage one vampire Yona.
Dark Stalker passive in this stage since your very thirsty your most likely going to stalk for victims so makes no sense for it being active when well sated. 10 percent Fire weakness. -75 percent Health Regeneration. 0 reduced ability costs or even 21% Increased Costs to Vampiric abilties. A trade off weakness for not being at the strongest and having less vampiric weakness to fire.
What this would do is make it so Vampirism is much more manageable. You feed to become more powerful. Without looking like a type of zombie.
Stage one and two right now look like good and like vampires. Stage three and four vampires look like trash and look like zombies. Get rid of the trash look and players will not demand skins to cover it up with. They might not even cover it up with Skins. My two screen shots of my characters is how Vampirism should look and feel like when powerful and at their weakest.
Also would make me want to feed more and not feed less in the process because vampires should look and feel like they need blood. They should feel like vampires not some kind of hideous zombie.. Plus doing it this way would make the passives easier to manage. As well as allow you to only feed once and not say like three times to be at the peak of vampiric performance. Which would be great for what Vampirism does in Eso.
Also fangs we need fangs for vampires they need fangs. Vampires should have fangs. If feeding on Necks we need fangs to do it with.
