Personally I hope Elder scrolls 6 dives deeper into "evil" side of the universe. More were beasts, vampires and necromancy cults. Plus longer guild/factions progression.
I think all factions should have a good and evil quest line similar to the Vampire DLC in Skyrim. You could either join the vampire hunters or you could join the vampires. Every quest should be like that. You should be able either join the mages guild or become a necromancer. You could join the thieves guild or some guard quest to stop the thieves.
DarkonXBL One idea I had was a guild of vigilante rogues inspired by the Gray Fox that sees the current Thieves guild for the thugs they are. Have them go after the Skeleton key to intentionally drain the thieve’s luck out while the Thieves guild goes after the vigilante guild’s Gray cowl of Nocturnal.
Why didn't Harkon just take his army of vampires into the old ruins of the Dwarves? They would never again have to fear the sun and they could definitely beat the Falmer and since they are immortal they could have all the time they need to study and understand the Dwarven technology and such. They could eventually entirely revitalize the Dwarven empire into a vampiric empire! Also who from the surface would be foolish enough to send an army into the darkness underground to root out the civilization of vampires?
It would be the equivalent of walking into menzobarrenzen with an army calling out lolth, lol (dnd reference) imagine walking into the deepest part of earth hunting godlike beings that thrive in darkness
@@FirstLast-gk6lg nah they wouldn't wipe them out, too valuable alive. They would enslave the lot of them. Turn them into pets for lolth priestesses to torture and break for their entire lives.
I love the book that talks about a vampire hunter who goes to a scholar of vampires who tells him of each kind one at a time and each time the vampire slayer returns. He did this until he only had one more kind to kill. They were the vampires of valkrath where you cannot see they are vampires except for candlelight and the ability to return into mist and blend into the highest parts of society. With a creed to be above men and monster their goal is to rule. After the man tekks the vampire hunter this he realizes they only meet at night and with a glimpse of him in a nearby candle he makes his realization too late. The Vampire hunter was never heard from again.
My vampire playthrough of Skyrim was honestly the best playthrough I ever had in that game. If you haven't been a vampire over an entire playthrough I couldn't recommend it enough.
Im lv 11 high elf. can vampire work with being a high elf im doin college of winterhold missions now when i get the dragon priest mask in going to harkon
The mod sacrosanct makes playing vampires more fun and enjoyable other than that vanilla vampires are shit but sacrosanct dosnt just give vampire lord more perks it makes your normal vampire form have more spells ie blood magic and powers and effects i can go on and on but its too much too explain in one comment also check out growl a werewolf mod.
I had an issue with Skyrims vampires. That being that it felt odd that a vampire would really care about the main quest. So I made my most recent character a Nord mercenary who has come to Skyrim to assist the Stormcloaks in their war. When he begins to falter, he starts looking around to become more skilled. He joins the companions, but his revulsion towards their werewolf nature turns him away. When he is approached by the Dawn guard, he sees a means to further his power, but also a means to grant himself new allies. he plays through that story, and at the end he finds himself confronting a dragon crisis. Realizing that he is outmatched still, he begins looking further. He still does not agree with the ideals of the companions, as he does not see himself as a beast. He then turns to Serana. She can give him strength, speed, and the ability to heal faster. She can also give him immortality, which he now realizes he needs to assist skyrim, as it's future is now heavily in question.
I mean you can be as evil as you want and still save the world. Afterall if you don't slay Alduin he eats the world and the afterlife so, immortal or not you have to put a stop to lizzy boi.
That sounds fun and a cool rp. My guy is a disgraced noble nord whose family was executed for plotting against the King (still havent figured where he first came from as I dont know the lore overly well). He turned his own family in and was given a chance to flee his home and thats how he ended up on the cart to Helgen. He aids the imperials and after helping clean the streets of Riften he is given a deed to the town Blackthorn where he is given the title of Lord and is now on his way venturing to the dawnguard as (very similar to you @MeTaLISaWeSoMe95) he is disgusted by the beast like and primitive nature of the companions, and he is own his way to fort dawnguard now. He knows hell need all the allies he can get to take down the dragons after all.
VTM Vampires are way cooler than TES vampires, though. I can say that as an owner of the V5 rulebook and every Elder Scrolls main game since Morrowind. That's why my vampires for custom D&D settings and the like are based off of VTM's vampiric abilities.
@@frankparker1191 Agreed. Both universes have their strengths, and VTM was meant to have great vampires, whilst TES has vampires mostly because it's a fantasy game and Bethesda could do some fun stuff with them.
@@frankparker1191 Well, yeah. I mean, VTM is a game that's exclusively about Vampires, whereas TES is a whole historical geopolitical fantasy setting that has waaay more stuff in the lore for the writers to concentrate on. I'm not saying one's better then the other, i like them both; but asking which one has better Vampire lore is kind of a weighted question, when it's an aspect of one game and the primary focus of another. It'd be like saying that TES's imperial legion is worse then the imperial legions in 40k.
So, we know that a vampire can impregnate a mortal woman, but do we know whether or not a mortal can impregnate a vampire woman? Serana: What the fuck are you looking at?
shes still out there most likely since whose gonna have the manpower to go and try and kill her and her army of blood suckers. at this point by the 4th era she is probably the strongest vampire out there.

Volrina Quarra has the most fleshed out backstory of all vampire bloodlines.. She was born in the second Era and was an apprentice to Barilzar.. the creator of the mazed band, and lost her brother to the clan leader of Berne when they ventured to look for things to bring back to their mentor from the Dwemer ruin Galom Daeus.. She vowed vengeance on the clan for the death of her brother and presumably it was her that sired the ancient of the Aundae bloodline, though not intentionally, which is why she and the rest of her clan find accidental vampires to be an abomination.. And it is also why she wants both clans wiped out..
The problem is nobody knows how it happens, nobody knows what's sacrificed or gained beyond the obvious. They've said in other videos that much information about hagravens is unknown
@@OrthoReadings yes i personally feel the same. i play on consoles so i dont have access to mods for either of them, i still occasionally play both but morrowind is difficult to go back to for many reasons.
Just had interesting insight into the Vampire way of life. I'm playing oblivion with a mod that inverts vampirism, (making you stronger the better fed you are) but it also adds a mechanic where it makes you feed at regular intervals, instead of after loadscreens. I'm in Lorkmir's house waiting to kill Faelian for the Dark Brotherhood, and the need to feed arises. So I ask myself, why can't I feed on the blood of someone I literally just killed, and it slowly dawned on me. The person NEEDS to be living so death can feed on life as the ultimate mockery of Arkay. Just the thoughts of a hired killer vampire.
I really hope Enai watches FudgeMuppet content. I would absolutely ADORE a massive update to Sacrosant that adds in bloodlines you could pick from when you start as a vamp with the alternate start mod! Great vid guys!
Movarth i think, but as far as i know, he didn't stand out to me except the fact he was very good at lying to people and women and manipulating them into turning to then turn their husbands or ruin the family and shove the blame on others so he gets to laugh and feed on whatever is brought in the hideout.
My absolute favourite think about Skyrim is the Vampire Lord. As someone who grew up with 2004's Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman and the Vampires of the Underworld series, I LOVED Dawnguard as a DLC. I have created a character, played the DLC and restarted SEVERAL times. I hope this is the standard for Vampire content in future ES games. I really really do. Otherwise, I'll be playing Dawnguard for the billionth billionth time.
*Me, vampire lord with uriel bow, wearing nightingale armor, going to the "secret" passage to guild at riften semetary* -Only burglars and vampires creep around after dark. So which are you? -You know to much guardsman *Entering sneak mode with Razor in 1 hand, paralyse spell in another* Sry for my bad english :D
@bryan diaz varela That's the least of the problems. Imagine eating and still feeling hungry unless you feed on someone. Imagine seeing the ones you love die from old age and you still young and alive. And your only solution to this is turning your lover and your family into vampires too thou just continuing to spread the infection because of "feelings". Imagine all the people running away from you beliving you are a monster that want to kill them. Imagine only beeing able to get out at nigth or at day but beeing heavly covered by clothes to not get sunburnt. Imagine having nigthmares of death, gore, mutilations, monsters. The list can go on and on but thesee are the more important sacrifices you have to make.
Guard: Dragonborn have you heard the news!? Dragonborn: Yes the price of cabbages have gone down, thank Julianos, Mara & Kine for that! Guard: NO, I mean...well a good soap is all well but I meant the dead bandits that were found at their camp!? Dragonborn: You mean the camp up north near the creek? Guard: Yes Dragonborn: Hidden behind the fallen logs and in a small ravine Guard: Yes Dragonborn: And all of the bandits were found torn limb from limb, some were impaled, crucified others were burned to death, but there was no blood, right!? Guard: YES, DID YOU THAT Dragonborn: No Guard: Oh we....wait no blood, BY THE GODS A VAMPIRE WALKS AMONG US! Dragonborn: Now let's calm down, if there was a vampire here do you not think I would have dealt with it by now! Guard: Ugh I tink so, yes, Dragonborn: See nothing to worry about! Guard: But how did you know what happened to them Dragonborn: Og my wife told, Serana, but I have to leave I just bought some....wine for her! Guard: Very well Dragonborn, gods bless.....but what kind of wine is that so red like blood!? Dragonborn: Breton Blood Wine!
I'm mostly commenting to help with the algorithm, but I do love your videos and you did ask us what we might like to see in the future. So... I think it would be amazing for me - someone who has only played Skyrim - to learn about the lore of some of the previous games and how it ties in (or not) with Skyrim. A sort of 'how did we get here' video. Or maybe you could make videos mapping out the various regions and factions of Nirn and how they all interact with each other. I realise you've done videos like this before, but I like maps. Visual representations help me to understand. :)
what I don't understand is whether vampires become instantly evil as soon as they transform (or at least develop a tendency for evil) or retain their own sense of morality.
There is no strict "alignment" in TES like there is in D&D. It's like IRL: you ask 100 people what is and isn't moral/ethical and you're likely to get 100 different answers.
Y. Ahriman hunger is the only thing that will make a vampire turn “evil” because it will consume them and make them feral. Vampires that come about through pacts like Harkon probably aren’t too morally upstanding before getting the power.
It ultimately depends on the individual. Many that you kill either go on a power trip or get addicted to the blood they crave. But there are others who resist the blood lust just enough to only feed on the necessary amount and respect non-vampires like Serana or the coven that inhabits Castle Ravenwatch. I mean Melina Cassel had a huge crush on that one guy she saved and went to a ball with him instead of eating him when she initially encountered him.
you kinda forgot to mention that both cyrodiilic and morrowind vampires are often influencial members of society or even aristocracy, house telvanni doesn't even try to hide the fact that there are vampires among them.
i think an interesting character build would be a Cyrodiil Vampire Order(Puppetmaster) build. side with the empire in the war to keep Cyrodiil strong for those who already have power and influence within the empire. infiltrate each hold to the rank of thane to increase the range of political influence. even infiltrate the volkihar vampire clan to weed out the vampire clan bringing vampires under fire from groups like the Dawnguard(eliminating them along the way). use the time to improve magical influence through the college and influence over the strongest warriors in Skyrim through garnering rank within the companions using the dark brotherhood to eliminate the Emporer(viewed as weak) with others who serve the Order better and eliminating all loose ends involved. You can even choose to revitalize the thieves' guild as a way to fund operations for the Order as they expand influence into Skyrim, you could also claim Assistance from Sybil Stentor who is Rumored to be of The Order herself due to her seat of Power and Influence of major Political faction of Skyrim.
I have read all about the Rivenspire ark of Elder Scrolls Online on the unofficial wiki, and from what I've read, it seems wild. You deal with armies that count vampires and bloodfiends among their numbers, you search for people, only to find they have become bloodfiends and you see characters turn into vampires over the course of some quests.
to be fair we know of a secret order of vampires that blend in with extremely rich and powerful people everywhere in the elder scrolls games so i mean it's possible
My favorite vampire cure? Arrows.... lots and lots of fire enchanted or Sun Hallowed arrows. Serana's the only vampire for me. The rest receive a flaming death.
Ha! The edgy lord of the bloodsucking faries hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahahah ahahahahaha if anybody notice.... i'm a malkavian, they say we are insane vampires...
@J D the only way to describe Skyrim. It's been 6 years since I've bought it and I still feel regret from buying it. Hell fallout 3 was more fun than Skyrim and that was the worst one until 4 came out. Actually this had been a long time coming from Bethesda since Skyrim their games since then have a lot of stuff to do but very little of it is actually any good or fun. Honestly Skyrim was a mistake.
Ryan Bollinger I wouldn’t say that the vanilla Vampire Lord was “OP”. It was quite weak, actually. Same for the werewolf. Because once you got everything maxed out, your armor, weapons, skills, etc. Lycanthropy and Vampirism are practically useless and unnecessary. But if you’re using mods such as Better Vampires and Sacrosanct, then yeah. They are OP. But never ever call the vanilla Vampire Lord “OP”. Ever.
0852657luis It honestly just comes down to personal preference. I never really enjoyed any of the Fallout games, I only ever enjoyed Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. No matter how bad people said those games were.
I honestly didn't even realise how many different ability variants there are when it comes to Vamparism in TES. I really hope they explore this in future games; I would love to not only choose to be a Vampire but to choose to what extent and what abilities I want. PS: It probably makes no sense but could the All Maker possibly be Anu? Or part of him.
Maybe in the future, more about the Argonian vampires? There is little about them and maybe one day, I might make a Argonian vampire character in Skyrim, but I want to know more about them first. Also the Kajiit vampires as well.
3:25 Bing bing you are wrong Love your work but I object. Arkay despaired at what happened to Lamae and knew he could not reverse the affliction Molag Bal had wrought (Opus Lamae Bal). Be this the inherent weakness of the Aedra (which is a matter of perspective imho) who gave much of their power away in creation (and its worth pointing out that Arkay also has apocryphae stating he achieved apotheosis through Mars as opposed to being an original Et Ada) or for some other reason. He categorically *did not* abandon Lamae. That is not and has never been the way of the Aedra (I suspect there was more to the story with Vyrthur the Elf but I digress). The Aedric priests, particularly those of Stendarr and Arkay, regularly use their powers to cure the disease (as opposed to the full blown curse).
The thing about the weakness of some of the clans in the Iliac Bay is confusing when you learn that at least 3 of the clans come from Lamae herself. Are they immune to this weakness or if Lamae died would they all die?
Fudgemuppet play some elder scrolls legends then talk about the lore behind some of the cards as u play, just a suggestion. Love ur content dude, stay awesome 😎
Hi there... 👋 I have been a vampire 🧛♂️ for nearly 28 centuries now and i can say this was one of the most interesting theories i have seen....! Nice work 💪
4:45 this is true, in oblivion you come across a half vampire orc who is coincidentally the champion of the Arena. You can seek out his father and unfortunately there is no dialogue because he is hostile, however you come across his journal which you bring back to the orc. At the end of the arena he begs you to kill him because of the monster he is.
A rich bouquet indeed. This werewolf takes offence at being labelled diner! Might just have to do something about that. Too bad vampires taste like mouldy old socks. If it weren't for the blood, they'd be no better than draugr, though more crunchy.
Sometime between the Merethic Era[4] and the second century of the First Era, the first vampire clans would emerge and would establish their own kingdoms within Blackreach.[5][6] One of these clans was the Nighthollow, who discovered an artifact known as the Dark Heart. They become reliant on its Void energy for sustenance, and consequently became unable to gain nourishment through blood.[6] They ruled the Reach above from the depths of Blackreach, and were dubbed the Night Lords by the ancestors of modern Reachfolk.[7]
In the elder scrolls oblivion, you can meet the pale prince in the arene underworks. If you complete his quest, you’ll find out that he’s a half vampire

Personally I hope Elder scrolls 6 dives deeper into "evil" side of the universe. More were beasts, vampires and necromancy cults. Plus longer guild/factions progression.
As the future of Tamriel gets bleaker and bleaker, that’s certainly a possibility.
I think all factions should have a good and evil quest line similar to the Vampire DLC in Skyrim. You could either join the vampire hunters or you could join the vampires.
Every quest should be like that. You should be able either join the mages guild or become a necromancer. You could join the thieves guild or some guard quest to stop the thieves.
DarkonXBL One idea I had was a guild of vigilante rogues inspired by the Gray Fox that sees the current Thieves guild for the thugs they are. Have them go after the Skeleton key to intentionally drain the thieve’s luck out while the Thieves guild goes after the vigilante guild’s Gray cowl of Nocturnal.
And do what they did with the vampires and dawnguard having a choice to be good or evil based on the choice yoy made at a carton time.
More vampires like Serana would be nice instead of seeing the same old "me evil enslave humans" type of dude everywhere I go

Methinks these American vampires doth protest too much about being asleep. Arkay have mercy, because we won't.
It’s 8 am here lol

Can you do a video on if it is worth becoming a hagraven?
The problem is nobody knows how it happens, nobody knows what's sacrificed or gained beyond the obvious. They've said in other videos that much information about hagravens is unknown
@@Kahadi I believe it's a human sacrafice and a Deadric ritual.
hagraven a ugly witch ore a flightless harpy i see no good thing in becoming 1
He's made his thoughts on it clear in his video on immortality
@@Kahadi Lazy writing
No mention of the Count of Skingrad?
With a town name like that everyone would suspect you being a Vampire
dont you know its not cool to mention oblivion unless you immediately criticize it. than talk about how great morrowind was and blah blah blah.
James Martel yea Oblivion aged much better than Morrowind.
@@OrthoReadings yes i personally feel the same. i play on consoles so i dont have access to mods for either of them, i still occasionally play both but morrowind is difficult to go back to for many reasons.
I’m currently playing oblivion for the first time
I wish somebody would make a Marcus(Underworld Evolution) armour mod for Vampire Lord and base form. Those black robes are dope as hell.
What about the Grey Prince? His father was a vampire and his mother was an Orc.
So over looked
Sparks Legends I thank the Grey Prince is a dhampir.
Just had interesting insight into the Vampire way of life. I'm playing oblivion with a mod that inverts vampirism, (making you stronger the better fed you are) but it also adds a mechanic where it makes you feed at regular intervals, instead of after loadscreens. I'm in Lorkmir's house waiting to kill Faelian for the Dark Brotherhood, and the need to feed arises. So I ask myself, why can't I feed on the blood of someone I literally just killed, and it slowly dawned on me. The person NEEDS to be living so death can feed on life as the ultimate mockery of Arkay. Just the thoughts of a hired killer vampire.
I really hope Enai watches FudgeMuppet content. I would absolutely ADORE a massive update to Sacrosant that adds in bloodlines you could pick from when you start as a vamp with the alternate start mod! Great vid guys!
I remembered the boot collection of the Morthal Vampire Morveth(?), such a fleshed-out character.
Its not just movarth that has a boot collection though. I remember a few other vampire dungeons with boot collection.
@@shadowstrider5033 I think a lot of little dungeons like that had a ridiculous amount of footwear. I wonder why
Vampires are complete drama queens and need the footwear to reflect that.
Movarth i think, but as far as i know, he didn't stand out to me except the fact he was very good at lying to people and women and manipulating them into turning to then turn their husbands or ruin the family and shove the blame on others so he gets to laugh and feed on whatever is brought in the hideout.
My absolute favourite think about Skyrim is the Vampire Lord. As someone who grew up with 2004's Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman and the Vampires of the Underworld series, I LOVED Dawnguard as a DLC. I have created a character, played the DLC and restarted SEVERAL times. I hope this is the standard for Vampire content in future ES games. I really really do. Otherwise, I'll be playing Dawnguard for the billionth billionth time.
Couldn't agree more. Cheers

#JustSkyrimThings :D
I think your English is fantastic!
I am loving this new shit, so nice to learn about and great to fall asleep to.
I totally have been falling asleep to these vids lately
The combination of the interesting lore and his calm voice makes for really good content to wind down to.
Day one of asking fudgemuppet to bring back face building guides.
I 2nd that motion!
The Valenwood bloodlines send a shiver down my spine....hope we'll learn more about them
Cyrodiil Vampire Order: Best Clan
I love all the lore I get from this channel, makes me feel more superior to anyone else playing anything elder scrolls related
Vampires are an amazing species! I often become a Vampire whenever I play Skyrim
Me too i cant help it
same here, one time did werewolf build not as good.
No the only good vampire is a dead one I love setting vampires on fire
@bryan diaz varela That's the least of the problems. Imagine eating and still feeling hungry unless you feed on someone. Imagine seeing the ones you love die from old age and you still young and alive. And your only solution to this is turning your lover and your family into vampires too thou just continuing to spread the infection because of "feelings". Imagine all the people running away from you beliving you are a monster that want to kill them. Imagine only beeing able to get out at nigth or at day but beeing heavly covered by clothes to not get sunburnt. Imagine having nigthmares of death, gore, mutilations, monsters. The list can go on and on but thesee are the more important sacrifices you have to make.
@bryan diaz varela sure because not having sex is worse than an eternity in molag bals realm.
Man, you still making this nice videos about Skyrim, you're a gem on CZcams!
Guard: Dragonborn have you heard the news!?
Dragonborn: Yes the price of cabbages have gone down, thank Julianos, Mara & Kine for that!
Guard: NO, I mean...well a good soap is all well but I meant the dead bandits that were found at their camp!?
Dragonborn: You mean the camp up north near the creek?
Guard:
Yes
Dragonborn: Hidden behind the fallen logs and in a small ravine
Guard:
Yes
Dragonborn: And all of the bandits were found torn limb from limb, some were impaled, crucified others were burned to death, but there was no blood, right!?
Guard:
YES, DID YOU THAT
Dragonborn: No
Guard:
Oh we....wait no blood, BY THE GODS A VAMPIRE WALKS AMONG US!
Dragonborn: Now let's calm down, if there was a vampire here do you not think I would have dealt with it by now!
Guard:
Ugh I tink so, yes,
Dragonborn: See nothing to worry about!
Guard:
But how did you know what happened to them
Dragonborn: Og my wife told, Serana, but I have to leave I just bought some....wine for her!
Guard:
Very well Dragonborn, gods bless.....but what kind of wine is that so red like blood!?
Dragonborn: Breton Blood Wine!
I've been waiting for a vampire video from you guys. Great job as always.
It burns when I feed. 🧛♂️🧛♂️🧛♂️
There’s a cream for that ya know 😝
THANKYOU for this upload I’m so drunk coming home this was beautiful
The Oblivion Vampire dream things were awesome.
I wish that they were in Skyrim.
I'm mostly commenting to help with the algorithm, but I do love your videos and you did ask us what we might like to see in the future. So... I think it would be amazing for me - someone who has only played Skyrim - to learn about the lore of some of the previous games and how it ties in (or not) with Skyrim. A sort of 'how did we get here' video. Or maybe you could make videos mapping out the various regions and factions of Nirn and how they all interact with each other. I realise you've done videos like this before, but I like maps. Visual representations help me to understand. :)
Will you remake your Bard build now that you're making Legacy Builds?
Becht Jefferies I’d love to see them redo the sociopath build
@@Kng-hv2qb but like as more of a serial killer persona... With a signature killing outfit and grizzly M.O.
Being a Vampire in Oblivion is fun but just don't wait or stand in the sun for too long.
Depends on how long you play the game... You live as the vampire, long enough to see yourself become the hunter.
Fudge You Make Some Good Guides For Skyrim
I wonder which clan my ex girlfriend was from...
@@BrianDagameBeing a vampire sucks d...
Lol
For me there's nothing more fun than to butcher a group of vampires while in werewolf form
As much as I hate werewolves seeing them killing vampires is good
Thank you for referencing Daggerfalls Vampire Clans. Those were awesome!
This is crazy! Just yesterday I was scanning your channel for this! Then you uploaded it! Cool!
what I don't understand is whether vampires become instantly evil as soon as they transform (or at least develop a tendency for evil) or retain their own sense of morality.
There is no strict "alignment" in TES like there is in D&D. It's like IRL: you ask 100 people what is and isn't moral/ethical and you're likely to get 100 different answers.
The count of Skingrad in Oblivion seemed like a good person, and he was a vampire too.
Vampires are no more inherently evil than any of the mortal races.
Y. Ahriman hunger is the only thing that will make a vampire turn “evil” because it will consume them and make them feral. Vampires that come about through pacts like Harkon probably aren’t too morally upstanding before getting the power.
It ultimately depends on the individual. Many that you kill either go on a power trip or get addicted to the blood they crave. But there are others who resist the blood lust just enough to only feed on the necessary amount and respect non-vampires like Serana or the coven that inhabits Castle Ravenwatch. I mean Melina Cassel had a huge crush on that one guy she saved and went to a ball with him instead of eating him when she initially encountered him.
Waiting for Which Great Houses of Morrowind are Worth Joining?
you kinda forgot to mention that both cyrodiilic and morrowind vampires are often influencial members of society or even aristocracy, house telvanni doesn't even try to hide the fact that there are vampires among them.
Greetings fellow Nord
i think an interesting character build would be a Cyrodiil Vampire Order(Puppetmaster) build. side with the empire in the war to keep Cyrodiil strong for those who already have power and influence within the empire. infiltrate each hold to the rank of thane to increase the range of political influence. even infiltrate the volkihar vampire clan to weed out the vampire clan bringing vampires under fire from groups like the Dawnguard(eliminating them along the way). use the time to improve magical influence through the college and influence over the strongest warriors in Skyrim through garnering rank within the companions using the dark brotherhood to eliminate the Emporer(viewed as weak) with others who serve the Order better and eliminating all loose ends involved. You can even choose to revitalize the thieves' guild as a way to fund operations for the Order as they expand influence into Skyrim, you could also claim Assistance from Sybil Stentor who is Rumored to be of The Order herself due to her seat of Power and Influence of major Political faction of Skyrim.
Janus Hassildor, the unending gold purse from skingrad would like a word.
I've never played a single one of the elder scrolls games, but I watch the hell out of these lore videos.
Dude at that point, your just failing yourself, thatss like spoiling an entire movie series but never watching the movies.
This video really... SUCKS
ehh? EHHHH??
:D
Not really, good job.
U shall be sacrificed to are lord fudgemuppet
Bloody good pun
The wahh buslance is coming
😂😅
@@jaycross320 😂🤣😂🤣😂😈 well played
Thanks, Camel.
I have read all about the Rivenspire ark of Elder Scrolls Online on the unofficial wiki, and from what I've read, it seems wild. You deal with armies that count vampires and bloodfiends among their numbers, you search for people, only to find they have become bloodfiends and you see characters turn into vampires over the course of some quests.
The grand champion in oblivion, Agnarok Gro-Malog i think is his name, is half orc half vampire.
He doesn't even suck blood.
Smh just use a detect dead spell, no excuses for not being able to identify a vampire lol
I think it would be cool if vampire clans and quest lines were more prevalent in ES6, more like morrowind
to be fair we know of a secret order of vampires that blend in with extremely rich and powerful people everywhere in the elder scrolls games so i mean it's possible
Have y’all ever done a video over viewing the main story of Morrowind? If not that be a great idea for another video
best way to wake up in the morning: an overly strong coffee and a fudgemuppet video.
My favorite vampire cure? Arrows.... lots and lots of fire enchanted or Sun Hallowed arrows.
Serana's the only vampire for me. The rest receive a flaming death.
I agree burn all vampires
They get a Dawnbreaker to the face in my game lol
Great video! Please make a video series on the great houses of morrowind! Please and thank you!
We are on it :)
The intro gave me goosebumps
Me and the boys waking up from our ages long sleep inside some stone pillars
HyperWatch bruh
I dunno sounds a little gay to me boss.
Ha! The edgy lord of the bloodsucking faries hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahahah ahahahahaha
if anybody notice.... i'm a malkavian, they say we are insane vampires...
None of you get it, do you?
HOLY SHIT A JOJO REFERENCE
Too bad hamon existed and killed y’all.
Anyone else miss when Morrowind had 3 strains of vampirism to choose from?
But Skyrim has Vampire Lord and it’s OP as fuck. You truly feel like an evil, unstoppable vampire overlord. I love it.
@J D the only way to describe Skyrim. It's been 6 years since I've bought it and I still feel regret from buying it. Hell fallout 3 was more fun than Skyrim and that was the worst one until 4 came out.
Actually this had been a long time coming from Bethesda since Skyrim their games since then have a lot of stuff to do but very little of it is actually any good or fun. Honestly Skyrim was a mistake.
Ryan Bollinger I wouldn’t say that the vanilla Vampire Lord was “OP”. It was quite weak, actually. Same for the werewolf. Because once you got everything maxed out, your armor, weapons, skills, etc. Lycanthropy and Vampirism are practically useless and unnecessary. But if you’re using mods such as Better Vampires and Sacrosanct, then yeah. They are OP. But never ever call the vanilla Vampire Lord “OP”. Ever.
0852657luis It honestly just comes down to personal preference. I never really enjoyed any of the Fallout games, I only ever enjoyed Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. No matter how bad people said those games were.
I honestly didn't even realise how many different ability variants there are when it comes to Vamparism in TES. I really hope they explore this in future games; I would love to not only choose to be a Vampire but to choose to what extent and what abilities I want.
PS: It probably makes no sense but could the All Maker possibly be Anu? Or part of him.
The All-Maker is Lorkhan(Space) and Mundus is his Realm.
Vampires be like: “welcome to the family,or the food chain. Your choice.”
My main character is a Redguard Puremage. He is Arch-Mage, also he is a member of House Telvanni and is apart of Aundae Clan of vampires.
More build/remastered build videos!!!
Maybe in the future, more about the Argonian vampires? There is little about them and maybe one day, I might make a Argonian vampire character in Skyrim, but I want to know more about them first. Also the Kajiit vampires as well.
3:25 Bing bing you are wrong
Love your work but I object.
Arkay despaired at what happened to Lamae and knew he could not reverse the affliction Molag Bal had wrought (Opus Lamae Bal). Be this the inherent weakness of the Aedra (which is a matter of perspective imho) who gave much of their power away in creation (and its worth pointing out that Arkay also has apocryphae stating he achieved apotheosis through Mars as opposed to being an original Et Ada) or for some other reason.
He categorically *did not* abandon Lamae. That is not and has never been the way of the Aedra (I suspect there was more to the story with Vyrthur the Elf but I digress). The Aedric priests, particularly those of Stendarr and Arkay, regularly use their powers to cure the disease (as opposed to the full blown curse).
The thing about the weakness of some of the clans in the Iliac Bay is confusing when you learn that at least 3 of the clans come from Lamae herself. Are they immune to this weakness or if Lamae died would they all die?
"...wounds healed with incredible speed." Exactly. So why is there a health regen penalty at all times in ESO and not just when out in broad daylight?
Hey FudgeMuppet it's guys here, we love you guys ❤️.
Fudgemuppet play some elder scrolls legends then talk about the lore behind some of the cards as u play, just a suggestion. Love ur content dude, stay awesome 😎
Hit us with that TESVI Vampirism possibilities insight Michael
Hi there... 👋
I have been a vampire 🧛♂️ for nearly 28 centuries now and i can say this was one of the most interesting theories i have seen....!
Nice work 💪
Ooooo that would be interesting in hammerfell. Vampire clans I smell storyline
4:45 this is true, in oblivion you come across a half vampire orc who is coincidentally the champion of the Arena. You can seek out his father and unfortunately there is no dialogue because he is hostile, however you come across his journal which you bring back to the orc. At the end of the arena he begs you to kill him because of the monster he is.
For the night is dark and full of terror
A rich bouquet indeed. This werewolf takes offence at being labelled diner! Might just have to do something about that.
Too bad vampires taste like mouldy old socks. If it weren't for the blood, they'd be no better than draugr, though more crunchy.
As a Lycanthrope I would be the common werewolf, though my fur will be more like the ancient Direwolf
BETTER RED THAN UNDEAD!.
Undeead?
@@revolutionarycomrade That was an error by the elder scrolls.
I loved being a Vampire in Morrowind. I feel like the ones in later games weren't as fun or effective to play. I love the lore behind them though!
It is fun going up against harkon as a werewolf lol
Nice
I heard their reforming the dawn guard. Vampire hunters or something
Next do the COMPLETE GUIDE to AD REVENUE.
Whoa dude, that thumbnail terrified me
He forgot the vampires who has a clan that lives in dwemer ruins forgot the name
Sometime between the Merethic Era[4] and the second century of the First Era, the first vampire clans would emerge and would establish their own kingdoms within Blackreach.[5][6] One of these clans was the Nighthollow, who discovered an artifact known as the Dark Heart. They become reliant on its Void energy for sustenance, and consequently became unable to gain nourishment through blood.[6] They ruled the Reach above from the depths of Blackreach, and were dubbed the Night Lords by the ancestors of modern Reachfolk.[7]
I love being a vampire in skyrim
I love killing your kind
In the elder scrolls oblivion, you can meet the pale prince in the arene underworks. If you complete his quest, you’ll find out that he’s a half vampire
