Vampire Nightmares - A Tale of Blood and Snow | Skyrim Creations

[@Foodisgood]

Okay I just read the description on UESP. This mod seems like it might be a bit bigger than the Bard's College Expansion. It also has direct support for anniversary edition content. If you own Blood Chill Manor then vampire npcs in this mod will comment on it, enemies can spawn from anniversary content. Rakoslod comments on several pets from anniversary edition and quests if you do them, Vigilant, Wheels of Lull, SkyUI, Achievements Injector, and Comap all have built in support. The new vigilant npcs comment on your quest completions of quests from the vigilant mod. Also the dev team is huge didn't know EnaiSiaion worked on this.

[@vavakxnonexus]

Oh, wow, that's a really impressive level of cross-compatibility! I was wondering if it would play nice with Vigilant, given the overlap, but really impressive to hear how much else it's able to incorporate. Wheels of Lull is a big shock.

[@Foodisgood]

@@vavakxnonexus Well I mean the lead of the team is the guy that maintains Wheels of Lull so not too much of a shock lol.

[@vavakxnonexus]

@@Foodisgood Oh, pffft - fair enough!

[@vavakxnonexus]

This is so cool! I love the return of the vampire nightmares - they're such a unique and underappreciated aspect of the whole thing! Plus, the palpable irony of how the Cronvangr claim honour through trickery & Quarra embrace brute force, and how both of those are inversions of the way their respective cultures normally work (with the dunmer notably embracing cunning-related Daedra and scorning the representatives of raw, oppressive power). Really clever stuff all around here.

[@CelestielleVA]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUDE!!! I can't wait to see your journey through this awesome story! It was such a joy to be part of, and can't wait to watch it unfold >:) Thanks for always always always supporting creators, and just being an all round gem, mate ❤

[@MLPDethDealr32]

and yet it screws over anyone on Nexus. Id prefer mods remain free.

[@vincenzusgaming]

I only watched the intro part and I can already tell this is going to be an amazing Creation. Can't wait to buy this DLC-sized mod!

[@Joshdriel]

Berne (Imperial) and Aundae (Altmer), two of the three vampire clans from ESIII, with the third being Quarra (Imperial).

[@Trisepta777]

Oh cool! This -mod- creation was based on cut content. There's a good video on it by *Unknown* *G* "Skyrim Cut Content Episode 20 - The Vampire Quests"

[@PowerfulRift]

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll definitely check it out.

[@iKevski]

This makes the Creation immediately more interesting honestly

[@zephyr835]

@@iKevski Agreed, and in a way it's like BCE, but expanding on something that didn't get into the finalized game.

[@DarthVitrial]

Cut content is kinda an obsession of mine. Though in this case I more just used it as a writing prompt because so so few traces of the original content remained.

[@8cladgamer210]

What’s great is, this is what the creation club was SUPPOSED to be all along!

Lol. It is good that this creation has many integrations with other creations, but it is hard to believe it doesn't have a crossover with the main Skyrim quests such as Dawnguard. What if you already defeated Harkon when you joined the Vigilant?

[@DarthVitrial]

@@jcl8623 there’s some lines of dialog acknowledging dawnguard progress.

[@kertgp8275]

I may actually buy this I'm a sucker for vampires and joining the vigilants don't seem bad either

[@Emperor_of_Perdition]

Finally! I’ve been waiting for a review on this creation since I read it’s description on uesp

[@simontheblind8417]

This is exactly what I've always wanted to see: my favorite games getting regular, DLC-sized updates done with professional-level quality. I'd have happily paid Bethesda for them, but I'll cheerfully comp mod authors instead.

[@skyslayer6104]

After Bard's College Expansion, I'm hoping this Creation rises to the occasion. That set the bar for me IMO (East Empire wasn't bad for what it was, it's just too short), so maybe the other Creations will be around the same level.

[@Foodisgood]

Look at the description on UESP. This mod looks bigger than Bard's College. It definitely has more npcs and quests.(Mostly radiant quests) Also it lists all the mods it has built in compatibility with that new npcs will have comments about the mods. Also the dev team is huge and has a lot of notable Skyrim modders that worked on it.

[@roseinskyrim]

I'm just imagining at mixwater mill, they step outside for some cool night air and see/hear two clans of vampires arguing with each other...

[@CaptainGreenCoin]

A Tale Of Blood And Snow sounds so fuckin awesome

[@Assassionlordjk]

If more creations are like bard expansion and this I believe more people would be willing to support creations . I’m really really tempted to buy since I seen some KZbinrs show how good they are. Keep up the good work George showing creations. :)

[@lorewalkercho7291]

i dont think ive ever watched one of your uploads when it was fresh and incomplete. Ty for the uploads its really nice having someone upload all these mods so i can get a little preview before downloading 100s of MBs of mods :)

[@bardorpheus3560]

Thanks, George! Looks like another really, really fun DLC sized Creation -- great playthrough!

[@coreywong6229]

Gonna become a vigilant. Its hunting time!

[@nerdragon2649]

31:57 It's a familiar name because there's an npc in vanilla Skyrim named Luah al-Skaven. This name simply means that a person comes from the city of Skaven, since the "al-" fragment means "place of origin". It's not really a family name per se.

[@enragedbard]

Know some of the VAs on this one. I'm always hesitant to try out Creations but once again you're showing it off. Thanks dude!

[@commanderbilliam]

man the voice acti ng is so good

[@askrub851]

I saw lots on the progress, this is incredible to see it pops up

[@zephyr835]

Did _not_ expect this to pop up today! 😃That's partly because I couldn't find much info on this creation and when it would be out, but I'm hyped! I've been looking forward to this one most after BCE, though I'll have to see more to make a decision on it. With that, I just subbed to follow along with this and other content. By the way, I think the amulet model is the same as those added by Dawnguard, which fits. And I wonder if there's any more to be revealed in the al-Skaven connection (Lu'ah is the boss necromancer in Ansilvund, in the same hold as Cronvangr Cave).

[@0periodproductions]

I've been waiting for its release ever since they teased it Quake Con, I'm excited to finally be playing!

This is basically the Expansion Quest of Vampire Site in dawnguard. Soon there's gonna Dragonborn Expansion too

[@TheGuardian707]

It would be cool if someone made a creation like this if there isn’t one already. Instead covering various different Werewolf packs of Skyrim I’d love to see that 😊

[@scumbad7953]

32:06 al-Skaven is just "Of/from Skagen". There was a necromantress boss in base game with that surname as well.

[@DarthVitrial]

I like to think he's her brother-in-law and her husband fought in the Great War with him.

[@theblackcaesar1685]

When I read the title of the mod it reminded me of the Blood upon the Snow song from GoW Ragnarok

[@ianmainline3030]

I wish there was more vampire questline mods like this. I think the only other mod like this is Old Blood which is also a fantastic mod if a bit harder to access right off the bat as it requires the completion of the Dawnguard questline as part of the volkihar.

[@nightterror6727]

I wonder if there's special dialogue if you've defeated Harkon. It would be weird having the vampires call you a fledgling when you're the ruler of castle volkihar.

[@DarthVitrial]

There’s a few unique lines if you’re in charge of the Volkihar, though “fledgling” in this case basically means “lower ranked member of a clan” or "not in our clan".

[@nintyfan1991]

So, I bet you a Volkihar loyalist is gonna seek a temporary alliance with the Vigilants to keep power against these two clans.

[@peo733]

Did the mod authors just forget the Volkihar clan? Do they honestly expect me to believe that Harkon the Vampire lord who only could be defeated by Auriel's bow a weapon of a god! To kneel to this Weird spider loving vampire clan? You got to be joking!

[@Knightshield]

[@margaretballinger2484]

A looooong time ago you did Mirage Island. At the time it wasn't completed. I decided to triy it out. There's journals to find to unlock more of the Island. But it's not the paradise you originally portrayed. I wound up finally reaching the top of the lighthouse, looking out at quite a different landscape that you showed. If you advance the story you learn the truth, and find what happened to the author of the journals.... It's shows you that it's an illusion. It's Vaermina's Island after all, and she's the prince of dreams, nightmares and torment. But after I learned and saw the truth, I couldn't figure out how to advance it further. I'm stuck!

[@nicksegaar4695]

You should have joined the Vardenfell clan right after the third dream. I smell betrayal from Vlkoslak.

[@cat_astronaut_]

love it!

[@Kira-is9vu]

Its wierd with Dawnguardein mind that the Volkihar Clan and the Dawnguard arent part of this creation. The Redwater Vampire Clan. a solitude city vampire clan with Sybelle Stentor, Movarth and his Vampire Clan near Morthal. Vighar and his splinter group of Clan Volkihar in Castle bloodlet throne and the vampire clan from the underground vampire city mod would also have been great to add and this vampire clan war creation.

[@ca7642]

Great video! I have to ask what mod list you have running, your game looks amazing.

[@0periodproductions]

Very lite modlist. Obsidian weather, Rudy ENB, SMIM, HMB Cathedral NPCs, and Quick Light are really the big ones being used

[@MorganRhysGibbons]

[@KimJongChill]

25:45 that background of the cornvangr clan is literally russia, who knows how we came about, some say we came from vikings, others from tribes, whatever the truth, none can deny that russians have been a part of eastern europe for millennia

[@DarthVitrial]

Quick news post: first, I’ve submitted another update that should fix most of the remaining known issues (both bugs and QoL stuff), hopefully will pass QA and be released soon. My editor is still working on a total redo of all Vlkoslak’s audio to fix the quality issues (it’s not an issue with the recording, it was edited incorrectly), that should be ready for a patch in early November.

[@DarthVitrial]

24:00: Uh...Oops. I'll fix that little...premature teleport issue xD

[@zephyr835]

Hey, this is a potentially silly question but I'm curious, partly since Enai contributed some things. Do you know if Blood and Snow gels with his vampire mods, e.g. using the Potion of Coldblood? Kudos on the release!

[@DarthVitrial]

@@zephyr835 I believe some of his mods (Sacrosanct/Sacrilege) will need a patch that he plans to release soon.

[@grymmoire]

@@DarthVitrial​​⁠very excited to play this! I wonder if it’s compatible with Dark Destiny on the Nexus, as that edits Pinemoon Cave too (so probably not?). It would also be awesome to have an option to delay the quest until a certain level. I want to start the game as a vampire, but got squished real quick by the enemies in that third dream lol.

[@DarthVitrial]

@@grymmoire 1: It depends on the edit. I literally just add a door to Pinemoon cave so I would suspect it’s fully compatible. The only hard conflict I know of is Dungeons Revisited, that mod blocks off the entrance to Iceblood barrow. Haven’t checked dark destiny but my instinct is it’s probably not going to have any issues. 2: yeah, I tried to compensate for that by giving the healing potions and swords in that cell. The annoying thing is the settings for that cell literally force the enemies to level 1 and somehow they still are the higher levels. Try just running past them and grabbing the key, they can’t follow you out.

[@grymmoire]

@@DarthVitrial ok I’ll test out Dark Destiny tomorrow and prep my poor little vamp for some good ol’ enemy evasion by sprinting

[@dr__raymond6556]

So question, what happens if you are a member of volkihar when making your choice? I see that it says that I’m already pledged to the volkihar, but I don’t know if that impacts it

[@DarthVitrial]

They rationalize about why that's a good thing because it means a potential clan alliance.

[@DarthVitrial]

Most likely you slept in Old Hroldan but didn't speak to the ghost after it spawned. That will be fixed in the next patch but until then just talk to the ghost of old hroldan so the game can take you out of the "don't teleport to avoid breaking a quest" state.
