- Changelogs
-
-
Version 2.0
- - Edited the leveled lists so they should be more balanced; vampires mostly spawn <= the player's level.
- * Remember though ... the game itself does place some vampire NPCs that have levels set already, my mod doesn't change their level.
- - Removed the script from vampire weapons that could infect you with Sanguinare Vampiris - it was causing script errors.
-
Version 1.8
- - Added in Temper Recipes for all weapons (missed the non Bloodglass ones before)
- - Fixed a couple of typos
- - Adjusted vampire spells so they aren't as strong (overpowered?) at higher levels
- - Adjusted health and magicka offsets for vampires
- - Vampires are now more susceptible to fire
-
Version 1.6
- VERSIONS FOR APPEARANCE CHANGES OR NO APPEARANCE CHANGES
- Many tweaks and balances should make gameplay more fun and NPCs less OP.
- Vampires now take even more damage from fire.
- Vampire attacks are now disabled by default - turn them back on if you wish by crouching and using the Vampire Bloodgem.
- Vampire attacks are now led by regular vampires; Skyrim initially had vampire bosses attacking ... which are a whole tier above the character level (this explains townspeople being slaughtered so easily or characters being vastly outmatched).
- The minimum spawn levels of vampire bosses have been decreased.
- Vampires that do attack towns will have a max level so guards actually stand a chance.
- If vampires are weak in combat they will use Mist form less often and be unable to spam it repeatedly.
- This version has QNAM values for tint that match the Unofficial Patch; if you do not use the Unofficial patch (and you should) there might be slight discoloration, but no dark face bugs.
- VERSIONS FOR APPEARANCE CHANGES OR NO APPEARANCE CHANGES
-
Version 1.5
- I have now uploaded my regular version and a version that makes NO APPEARANCE CHANGES to help with compatibility. The default NMM download is for no appearance changes.
Both Versions:
- Several updates have been implemented from the Unofficial Skyrim Patches.
- Recipe for creating a Vampire Bloodgem now requires a FILLED Common Soulgem (instead of an empty one).
- Coldharbor Daedric Armor now glows blue instead of red.
- Hand checked NPC entries in XEdit to ensure no erroneous entries.
In addition the NAC Version has these changes:
- This version now has ALL appearance changes removed. Al other aspects of the mod remain.
- There are no edits to any NPC appearance, so no facegen files are needed, and this mod will never create a dark face bug. OTHER mods may still do this, but mine won't be responsible.
- This version will not fix some vampires that have wrong eye types, it will not add fangs to females, it will not make vampires paler as they grow older, it does not add in more male vampires, it does not add in a few argonian and khajiit vampires, it will not give glowing eyes to argonian and khajiit vampires.
- Any vampire appearance mod that is loaded AFTER this mod will work perfectly - hopefully they have exported their own facegens properly or you might get a dark face bug from their work (some mods are incomplete out there too ... they often don't cover all NPC vampires or don't affect all vampire eye types).
- I have now uploaded my regular version and a version that makes NO APPEARANCE CHANGES to help with compatibility. The default NMM download is for no appearance changes.
-
Version 1.4
- - Fixed Khajiit and Argonian nif files so they point to the correct texture files (should prevent ctds).
- Added in fixes to Vampire eyes from the "Eyes Glitch Fix" by bellwood2206 so the invisibility glitches should be gone.
- Added in Vampire teeth for females - they are identical to those in males.
- Removed a couple of glitched facial hair types.
- - Fixed Khajiit and Argonian nif files so they point to the correct texture files (should prevent ctds).
-
Version 1.3
- - A "Vampire's Bloodgem" will now be added to your inventory (under Misc) when you start the mod.
Using this bloodgem WHILE SNEAKING will allow you to customize aspects of vampires and this mod.
- If your initial Bloodgem is ever lost or accidentally sold, Vampire's Bloodgems are also added to the loot for vampires level 15 or over. Vampire's Bloodgems can also be forged using a Common Soul Gem and Blood Potions if you are a Vampire race (with the keyword) and have at least 25 Alchemy and 25 Enchanting skills.
- Save up your Vampire's Bloodgems ... they can be smelted into Bloodglass and used to craft powerful Bloodglass weapons.
- All Bloodglass weapons can be tempered to improve them.
- You must have the Glass Smithing Perk to make Bloodglass weapons - they are slightly less powerful than Daedric weapons, but have added effects that are independent of any enchantments you might add.
- Bloodglass weapons have a rare chance, on each strike, to:
- reduce enemy damage output (10 sec), or
- reduce enemy stamina, magicka, and heal rates (10 sec), or
- reduce enemy movement speed and attack speed (10 sec), or
- absorb health (50+), or
- very rarely kill an enemy and infect them with blood plague which can spread to others nearby ...
- killing a bleeding out enemy may absorb their life force and recharge readied enchanted weapons
- Added effects on Bloodglass weapons can be disabled in the mod if you want.
- Vampires will now be able to use blood aura shields properly in combat - the effect wasn't always applied before.
- More combat variety has been added for vampires of all levels.
- Some Vampire eye textures have been fixed so they all use Dawnguard glowing eyes (you can load any other Vampire eye texture mod after this one to change this).
- - A "Vampire's Bloodgem" will now be added to your inventory (under Misc) when you start the mod.
-
Version 1.2
- NOTE: This mod will no longer affect Serana, Harkon, or Valerica (all other NPC vampires are affected); this allows for more compatibility with other mods that affect these special characters
- I have added in the glowing Dawnguard eyes for Khajiit, Orc, and Argonian Vampires. In addition, Babette will now have glowing vampire eyes too.
- Any mods which modify the eyes of vampires can be loaded after this one.
- Fixed several head meshes and textures that weren't exported properly last time
- Vampire Mages have been given more spell variety (a few even use fire ...)
- Hemalurgic Spike and Flames of Coldharbour spells have been added to appropriately ranked Vampires
- One-handed Vampires will now use a weapon and drain spell or a weapon/shield combo (more variety)
- Two-handed Vampires will use their weapons exclusively (their weapons drain health and can infect you)
- Ranged Vampires had their AI tweaked so they will prefer bows/crossbows more
- Bat Swarm bows and crossbows will now scale in damage with level
- Two-handed Vampires will use their weapons exclusively (their weapons drain health and can infect you)
- Blink Attack in combat may have the Vampire teleport behind, to the right, or to the left of you
- Mist form (when a vampire is low on health) has the proper visuals attached to it now and it will no longer remove footstep sounds
- NOTE: This mod will no longer affect Serana, Harkon, or Valerica (all other NPC vampires are affected); this allows for more compatibility with other mods that affect these special characters
