Vampires, they’re so “magic blood mage” in Skyrim, according to this mod’s designer. The goal: to make them more vampire-y. The result: a mod that’s like a “best of” vampire-genre mash, making you more prone to damage from fire, silver weapons or anyone carrying garlic. There’s also a much more sophisticated, bloodsucking mechanic with six levels of “satiation” and consequent bonuses or weaknesses, and that’s just for starters. With its dossier of unearthly abilities like “conjure storms, sap light from the area, bewitch animals to follow you, levitate, have precognition in combat, blend in with civilians” and more, this mod would do Bram Stoker proud.
