Version 2.0 Released! - 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.
NOTE: Vampires in this mod are leveled. The leveled lists have had the level numbers altered, but they still spawn depending on the character level. HOWEVER ... some vampires in Skyrim are not placed as a leveled actor. Some NPCs are placed as a specific level that is not reflective of your level. I did not do this - that is from the vanilla game.
For example:I went to Haemar's Shame as a level 1 character. All other vampires were the same level as me (all level 1) EXCEPT the boss at the end which Skyrim (not me) has placed as a tier 3 vampire. This means it spawned as a level 19 adversary. I'm not modding to make vampires vastly out-level you, but Skyrim does have some spawns unleveled.
Hello, I have configured it so that the vampires attack the cities in addition to random encounters but it doesn't happen, do I have to start dawnguard or should they do it before?
Great mod and must have. Only thing missing is npc vampires should be feeding and if biting the player should transmit sanguinare vampiris. I don't know any of the mechanics and difficulties with that but it is a logic just missing from this. Any way to incorporate Bloodthirst into this mod?
Yes, this mod is great at adding strengths to vampires, but the cool thing about Better Vampires for players is that it also allows you to bring out the downside of being a vampire. I would love it if this mod allowed you to saddle NPC vampires with the same difficulties as player vampires have. Etgmotley's idea of somehow incorporating something like bloodthirst would be great. (Hopefully someone could come up with a more convenient feeding system with no learning curve or follower edits outside the game) This would force players to have to deal with keeping their vampire followers fed. I'd also love to see settings that enabled you to have NPC vampires burst into flames in the noonday sun just like my vampire character does under Better Vampires. This would give vampire hunters a reason to use their heads and clear lairs during the day when they could run for the sun if overwhelmed. It would also give vampires a reason not to stage major attacks at noon.
Just ran True Unleveled Skyrim in zEdit, and realized it might take the bloodglass weapons from NPCs unless you change the unleveled weapons setting, since bloodglass falls into the glass category.
Do you have more info on this? I am experiencing a reproducible CTD when I use a bow or crossbow to headshot a certain vampire NPC in Dimhollow, however this CTD does not leave a crash log. I am using Skyrim Arrow Overhaul and Archery Locational Damage and I haven't had issues with those mods in the past, so I decided to check this page to see if anyone else was having issues and whether it may be due to this mod after all.
Edit: This happened several hours later when I attacked a Bandit NPC with a sword, also landing a hit to the head (a la Precision), so perhaps related to Maximum Carnage or something like that.
Does anyone know if this mod makes vampires able to cast a spell that turns the sky red and block the sun? I was running some tests the other day, fast traveled to Morthal, and out of nowhere the sky just went red. There was no vampires or enemies near me and I have no other mod that would cause such a thing so I can only imagine it was a vampire spell.
That’s an ability you unlock at the end of the Dawnguard quest line. If NPCs make comments about it, then that must be the case. I doubt this mod lets NPCs use that ability (I hope not, that would destroy immersion and be super annoying), so it seems like a glitch to me.
Hi! Great mod! This is lots of fun. Thanks! I’m just confused about the one console command: Do you want to add more wilderness encounters with Vampires? set BVNPCExtraEncounters to 0 (re-enable by setting to 1) To me, setting Extra Encounters to 1 should mean there are MORE encounters, but the text says if I want more vampires, I should set Extra Encounters to 0. Is that correct? Thanks!
I see no one ever mentioned about this issue.....the "bat cloud" enchantment is too op, and the description is just too long, I guess the power may overlapa few so lead to these issues. But still this is the best enchantment with cool visual I have ever seen. Hopefully there will be a fix soon
Hey thanks for this mod. makes the vampire strong as they should. sorry to bother you. just 1 question, how do I get contract with Sanguinare Vampiris? because they are using weapon, I can't seem to get the disease to become vampire.
Use the mcm , turn your self into vamp with this -- 1 Open bv mcm, click on trouble shooting and clean up - 2 Then Click on reset sanquinaire vampiurism, But go thru all the other settings and set them to what you like , the reset sanquine go back out the menu wait for the messages on screen, takes a couple of minutes, then your've been infected and it says wait 3 days or sleep, and you have access to console type set timescale to 8999 then just watch the time fly by if your impatient , or you can just do the 3 day thing naturally... Soon as you see message pop about my blood v boils, as my power awakens, quickly pop the console back and type in set timescale back to 20 ( default)
