The Rubber Vampire Scion of Lamae
Ahhhh yes, this again…
So Skyrim’s Vampire Lord resembles Marcus from Underworld. We all know this, and most I believe, like that.
The ‘chicken wings’ people currently mock, were not so useless for old Marcus when he sliced and diced heads in half (Now think of the Blood Scion ultimate casting eviscerate and slicing enemies with it’s wings).
The design of the Blood Scion is lacking, not for all, but perhaps for most. The Vampire Lord NPCs we face, look better than the thing we transform into;
This is the NPC Lord we face:

This is what we get:

Again, we get this:

Let’s face it, the lore is rushed for this one. Lamae comes up with her own version of a Vampire Lord, so that we can have something to (*cough), rival the Vampire Lord. Some players have suggested it is not possible to go down the path of a pact with Molag Baal, because we have faced his hordes and opposed his schemes. I consider this the very justification for our worthiness in receiving the dark gift, though not necessarily from him direct. Our character has more than proved how capable we are to serve Molag Baal as something more than a mere minion, and he gets to think he won in the end, by corrupting us to his side, so to speak. It is a shame that the Vampire Turning Quest was not something more along these lines, allowing us to then adopt the Vampire Lord form, in place of this abomination (In terms of design) created by Lamae, a Vampire who hates Molag Baal.
This will always come down to personal preference and I’m sure many are fed up with it as a topic of discussion. My only hope is that the Dev Team consider that there are other ways to approach this for the many who are disappointed with the Blood Scion design, when comparing it to all the promotional images of Vampire Lords related to the Greymoor DLC. We see what we will face off against, not what we will become. The Vampire Lord, looks the business, the Blood Scion just…..doesn’t.
You already have the model of the Vamp Lord NPC. Use that!
Alter the quest to reflect a pact with Molag Baal, or an NPC Vamp Lord who received the dark gift through Baal.
Make use of those wings, with visual animations during combat, where the Vamp lord slices and dices using them.
Oh and helloooo, Vamp Flying Mount option. Transform outside settlements into Vamp Lord form to hover fly with flappy wings in place of a mount, and be force-transformed back upon entering areas where you would be committing an illegal action, with an invisibility timer so that guards don’t see your ultimate form.
How about changing the mist ability into Bat transformation, so you fly around as bats like the previous Vamp ultimate and get a more visually interesting ability than becoming an ethereal cloud. That way, we again move closer to what we saw in the trailers, becoming a bat swarm. We already become invisible through sprinting, so there’s no real need for another kind of invisbility, when we can become Bats and see something funky during combat.
I appreciate what the Devs have tried to do and I am very excited for the Greymoor expansion, but the Vamp Ultimate leaves much to be desired in terms of design. They tried to create something different and that’s admirable, but falls short of what has come before and what we will see facing us during combat, as we take on the form of the Rubber Vampire Scion of Lamae.
How would you go about making the best set up...
