- In our latest Elder Scrolls video we explore Vaermina's involvement in Vampires.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series and was released worldwide on November 11, 2011. The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim.

Vaemina is benefitted by the fear and nightmares, Namira is benefitted by the decay and rot, Hercine is benefitted by the hunt, Nocturnal is benefitted by the strict shadow prowling... Wow, no wonder Molag Bal is considered chief among the Daedric princes, he really gave a nod to a lot of his fellow princes with this one monstrosity.
Serious question, Drew: Have you ever considered recording audio books? You'd be really great at it!
I've always had this theory that all the Princes had a hand in their creation. Meridia gave them the weakness to the sun and its pure light, Azura made them sleep between her times of dusk and dawn to give mortals a fighting chance, Sheogorath gave them the madness they experience when starved, Hircine made them hunter that is hunted like his werebeasts, Vile gave them their ability to pass for mortal(which is mentioned in Oblivion for its unnamed clan), Dagon gave them their destructive urges, Namira made them revolting and corpse like to look upon when starved, Boethia their scheming nature, Mephala the seductive charm, Sanguine the sensual pleasure of feeding, Peryite that spread of the curse by disease, Nocturnal is their ability to see in the dark as easily as the day, Malacath their nature as outsiders, Vaermina is their nightmares as you said, and Bal is the one who brought all those aspects together.
In TES6 we should see a lot of different vampire clans in High Rock and potentially even involve ourselves into the potentially feuding clans and their political dilemmas. One thing is for certain though, turning into a vampire should be far more cinematic. They need to bring back the dreams like in TES2 and 3. Also the chance of being turned was always low except for in Skyrim where it seemed like a 50/50 chance. It should be more rare and something secretively sought out.
In tes6 I hope we meet Lamae like we did in eso. Maybe we get different types of vampires, that'd be awesome
As someone that enjoys playing as a vampire i often remember a wise dragon once said "What is better - To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature though great effort?"
Movarth was such an accomplished Vampire Hunter and so skilled a fighter that he killed dozens of the most dangerous Vampires with his bare hands. Yet when the Dragonborn fights him in Morthal, he's total fodder. He should have been nearly as powerful as Harkon.
Vampires as tragic figures is always more interesting than stories that treat them like people blessed with superpowers.
This guy is the reason I always replay skyrim goddammit
I'm pretty sure the cruelty of vampires is more just implicit to Molag Bal's personality, and a natural psychological result of how they're made. Molag Bal is an abusive personality motif, which reproduces itself through the fear and insecurity it instills. Abusive personalities often spawn abusive traits in their victims, and that's what's happens to most vampires.

Dear Dawnguard DLC,
Theoretical conjecture: Part of Vaermina's dealing with Bal in the creation of the vampires was that they experience Nightmares- as seen in older ES Games- thereby feeding her not just with the idea of them causing fear, but they being personal batteries to Vaermina as well.
Morvarth the vampire hunters has the same name as an ancient vampire in Morthal
As someone who's played Oblivion numerous times, I have experienced both becoming a vampire by choice, and being infected by accident. I was the righteous hero, accidentally killed a fellow mages guild member, got infected trying to get vampire dust. Didn't even know until it was too late.
Vampirism in the Elder Scrolls universe is really interesting lore-wise
Perfect timing while I start my new Vampire build
There is also lore out there in ESO where the Khajiit credit Sanguine for vampirism, I think. Makes me wonder if maybe Molag Bal work with Sanguine on a strain of vampirism in Elsweyr too. Or perhaps he had multiple collaborations with other Daedric Princes to make different forms of vampirism.
Literally everybody: no
Whenever I see vampire videos on fudgemuppet I just get so excited, vampires and werewolves from TES are my favorite love all your videos
