📋 About This Mod
Vampire attacks are on the rise across Skyrim and villagers are afraid to leave their homes at night. Travelers are frightened to leave the main roads and rarely venture out after the sun sets. The Dawnguard are trying to help push back the darkness and make Skyrim safer, but rumors are now spreading that the Volkihar are gathering strength and seek vengeance.
In darkened inns throughout the holds people whisper of strange disappearances. A tale unfolds about a guard who found a commoner, dressed in rags, outside of Markarth; he was half mad and suffering from frostbite, but he ranted about a vampire torturing him and conducting hideous experiments before he died. A bard sings of two injured survivors from an entire squad of Dawnguard that were ambushed in the mountains; these men swore their companions were slaughtered with dark enchantments they had never seen before.
If the vampires of Skyrim are developing new weapons to help them decimate the Dawnguard, what hope do the Jarls have of protecting the populace from the undead? Will you seek out these new threats and seize them before terrors are unleashed upon the mortal races, or will you try to use these new weapons yourself to conquer and destroy?
MOD DETAILS
Better Vampire Weapons adds several new (and hidden) locations across Skyrim. Vampire dens, lairs, labs, forges or ruined fortresses will provide players with access to new materials, new weapons, and new enchantments that they haven't seen before. This mod is a loose prequel to Coldhaven.
BVW isn't just a collection of weapons ... it is also a small quest that should be challenging and mysterious.
The quest will start when you visit a large town - a courier will approach you with a note ...
You don't have to be a vampire to use these weapons.
My mod requires Dawnguard. It is fully compatible with any other vampire mods.
I wanted this mod to provide a little more mystery and bring back the excitement of discovering new locations, so I don't provide map markers that show you exactly where to go. You will have to find clues in each location that hint at where you can go next.
PLEASE try to use my mod without peeking at hints, using console commands, or posting spoilers in the forum - it will be more enjoyable if people try to follow the clues on their own. I provide some hints below in the first spoiler tags if you need a bit of help. If you like to ruin the surprise completely, I give away all information below in seco
