What I've heard, lorewise, is that early-stage vampirism is _so_ easy to cure that turning into a full-blown Vampire could _only_ mean you did so deliberately, and thus are very blatantly up to no good. Hence the less-than-zero vampire sympathy.

that's the explanation given in Vampires of Vvardenfell Volume 1 I think of course, it's a highly ignorant one, there are children who are born to vampires, or the possibility of being forcibly turned (think a Molag Bal cult kidnapping people, infecting them, and then denying them the cure until they turn)

I'm sure someone else has already mentioned it in the comments, but while Arena didn't have Vampirism, Daggerfall did, and it's exactly what you'd expect out of that game: kind of cool, kind of weird, kind of jank as hell. See, the whole 'vampire clan' thing was Daggerfall's primary vampire draw. There were, like, nine bloodlines in Daggerfall, with each little region of the map being dedicated to one of those clans. The clans essentially functioned as another form of "guild", and they had their whole little batch of quests you could undertake. Vampires in DG came with the usual slate of stat boosts, skill boosts, some spells and immunities, and each clan also had a unique bonus, similar to MW. Unfortunately, Daggerfall's clan bonuses were mostly just extra spells (one clan even gave you a Free Action spell, even though vampires can't get paralyzed in the first place!). And on top of that, they had the requisite vulnerability to sunlight/holy areas, so you'd take 12 damage every 20 real-life seconds if you were standing outside during the day, in a temple, or in a Fighters Guild in Hammerfell. I believe the fast-travel system accounted for this, at least? But it's still inconvenient, to say the least. Even more troublesome is the fact that, when you become a vampire, you quite literally "die" and get revived. Were you a high-ranking master of the Fighters Guild? Were you in the middle of a quest for the Dark Brotherhood? Too bad! Vampirism resets your reputation and revokes all your guild memberships (because they thought you died, remember?), and if that means you were kicked out of a one-time-only guild... well, uh, too bad again! Basically, vampirism sounds cool and is kinda interesting, but much like in the rest of the series, it's more of a novelty than anything. Daggerfall's Lycanthropy is even less fleshed-out -- no clans, no unique were-quests -- but ironically it was arguably more practical. Being a were-creature didn't reset your reputation, the stat/skill boosts applied to human form as well, and if you did Hircine's quest, the ring basically nullified all the disadvantages (no need to kill innocents, no involuntary transformations).
@qwesx
@qwesx 9 ай бұрын
You're right, Daggerfall's fast travel system will make vampires take twice the normal travel time, prevent initiating fast-travel during the day and will make vampires arrive at nightfall when traveling cautiously (instead of in the morning). It's a bad idea for low-level vampires to travel recklessly as well, since you could arrive at your destination at high noon. I feel it's still kind of cool from a role-playing perspective - just get it early on and don't get cured... Lycanthropy is properly busted though. Everything you do as a werewolf/-boar is treated as a separate entity (crimes you commit as a werecreature are not reflected on your character) and Illiac Bay citizens apparently do not grasp the concept of object permanence, so even if you transform into or back from a werecreature right before their eyes they don't realize it's you. And, as you mentioned, with Hircine's Ring your get all of the advantages with none of the disadvantages. If you think Daggerfall is too hard then just become a werewolf or wereboar.

I did a playthrough as a vampire in Daggerfall, and it added a lot of fun elements to the game different from the norm. It's very powerful and adds unique challenges to get around (for example, I made a strong health shield spell to get around during the day PURELY so that I could visit the bank, since banks have daylight business hours). The clans vary heavily in how outrageous they are. I was a Haarvenu clan vampire from Anticlere, which means my clan spells were Ice Storm and Wildfire. Since they're AoE damaging spells and you cast clan spells for half their normal magicka cost, I could cast them on the ground in front of me and my spell absorption would replenish my magicka more than the cost of the spell. It made for an absolutely ludicrous battlemage build. Infinite, powerful destruction spells. The big benefit to vampires over lycanthropes, in my opinion, is that vampires can sate their bloodlust by killing any living creature (including animals and non-undead dungeon enemies), whereas lycanthropes HAVE to kill innocents (like guards or civilians). The penalty for not doing it is also less of a problem for vampires. Ignoring the morality, it's just a bit more annoying to deal with. Additionally, lycanthropes can't loot or anything while they're transformed, which is annoying while dungeon crawling.

1:17 Daggerfall have, and its fucking powerfull, in daggerfall when you infected by vampire, you will not die but after quite while the game over screen pops up and you will respawn in a random crypt. The vampires also have some factions on it depending on where did you get vamprism which make the thing more interesting. The advantages are based on your faction, so you will get different buff with different faction, they will also give you a quest and you will mostly travel at night because during the day you cant rest. Also you cant fast travel during the day so you have to make sure you always on night. Also since you die during the process all your reputation in different region will start from zero. So yeah pretty cool

13:00 After you said that I had to check how many words there are in my language, that contain two "w" and officially it's 27 but most of them aren't even words (it's stuff like "www" as in world wide web) and most of the rest is just different forms of the word "struwwelig". Realistically, it's only 3 words in my entire language, that contain two "w", being the aforementioned "struwwelig", "Warnowwerft" and "Struwwelpeter" but practically it's only two words, as "Struwwelpeter" is basically just the name Peter with another different version of "struwwelig" glued before it. BUT (it's a big but) there's potential for more. In German you can literally just glue words together, to create new words with extended meaning. I'll give you an example. We'll just start with the word "Schiff" (=ship), we can make "Schiffswerft" out of that (=shipyard), so far so normal but there's someone in the shipyard, who sells beans, making him the "Schiffswerftbohnenverkäufer" (=shipyard bean vendor) and these shipyard bean vendors of course need to be regulated, regarding hygiene, so they make a "Schiffswerftbohnenverkäuferhygienegesetz" (=shipyard bean vendor hygiene law). This abomination of a word I just created is 100% gramatically correct (KZbin's spell check didn't even mark it red), 100% logical and will make sense to anyone, who speaks decent German. My point is, that if you made an effort, you could potentially create lots of words in German, that contain a "ww", potentially even multiple "ww" in the same word. Is "ww" common? No. But are there theoretically lots of words, that utilize "ww"? Yes. Also, here's a little bonus for the people, who actually read my mental diarrhea: The longest German compound word I could find: Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung Before you count: It has 67 letters and I'm not translating it but it's just a law regarding the transfer of the responsibility to grant an agricultural vehicle vehicular business access to agricultural plots. It still makes 100% sense though and it's completely grammatically correct and KZbin still does not mark it red. If you really really tried though, you could make words even longer than that, this is just the longest German word, that still has practical application. Have fun with this utterly useless knowledge

Vampirism exists in Daggerfall, and it's pretty busted, not as much as Lycanthropy though. Also the way it's treated is quite unique - you get a creepy dream in animated cutscene form until you literally die when you first transform. You lose all reputation and get expelled from every guild (because... duh, you're dead bozo), and wake up in a random crypt where you got buried with your possessions. Welcome to the world of unliving.

But I like that they make you work for it instead. Like the ultimate vampire would learn charm and master their personality and therefore would have no problem talking to people with 100 disposition. But it assumes normal people are not automatically as suave as Dracula, and I think that’s more realistic. Like the normal person is the norm and they don’t handle the transition well nor are they hundreds of years into the transformation and fully able to capitalize on the benefits.

If you mod it and learn to love the turn based dice roll deal, it definitely holds up with a full overhaul mod list and the new engine of OpenMW. You get fancy shaders and fov and everything. Mine basically looks like Oblivion/Skyrim, but with Morrowinds mechanics. Feels like a modern AAA with a more indie art style

OpenMW is buttery smooth and a rock solid and brand new engine. Go for the OpenMW mod list of your choice and you will have a much better time.

29:27 I think Kogoruhn doesn't have a propylon chamber because the Dunmer tore it down as part of trying to erase House Dagoth for its supposed betrayal after the battle of Red Mountain. Then they rewired the propylon network to skip over where Kogoruhn's used to be and left the place to fall to ruin. At least that's what makes sense to me.

13:03 since it's usually used to represent an approximant (in welsh it's more often used to represent a vowel), it’s fairly rare to see the letter w written in a doubled form. the consonant phoneme it represents (labial-velar approximant) is not often subject to gemination (doubling) in natural languages; though a few double the character to indicate a consonant length distinction (eg /w/ ‘w’ vs /w:/ ‘ww’). as one example, in Luganda: if a w would be subject to a sound-shift germination rule that would otherwise turn it into ‘ww’, it instead becomes ‘ggw’. english does write 'ww' clusters in words like 'glowworm' or the adopted 'powwow'; but in most of these cases it's an orthographic thing rather than a distinct pronunciation. sorry for the tediously earnest linguistics post

"and they say Morrowind doesn't have fast travel" Who says that? Morrowind has striders, boats, mage teleportation, propylon chambers, intervention teleportation, and Mark/Recall. And you can always jump 20 miles with scrolls they give you right at the start of the game. Morrowind has the absolute best fast travel, since there are a ton of options and they're all immersive in the game.

I hard agree, I like when games make you work for Fast Travel, one of my favorite things about the first Dark Souls as opposed to later entries is how late in the game portalling between bonfires is unlocked, before that it's all shortcuts and tricks, which once you're familiar with you can navigate the world quite quickly.

Daggerfall does in fact have vampirisim, it is the first game in the series to implement it. and from what I hear, it is overpowered to the point that it’s broken. Also, there is actually a short cutscene of the nightmares you get when becoming a vampire. You die after your transformation, get a game over, and then wake up in a crypt.

Vampirism in daggerfall turns you into a monster that can destroy anyone. You become immune to everything that’s annoying or dangerous and the weaknesses aren’t too disruptive. The worst thing about it is that quests are more difficult to complete due to fast travel always advancing to 8pm when you arrive whether that’s 6 hours after arrival or 23 hours. It’s slightly more annoying to interact with merchants and you will get a letter every week (iirc) to start a quest to cure your vampirism and occasionally you will encounter mercenaries that will be significantly higher level than you

This is honestly the best I've seen in terms of adjustments to compensate for YT compression. Didn't have to bump my brightness up to see anything, thus avoiding night time eye burn! (this would have almost zero affect on my TV though)
