Vampiric Thirst - Dawnguard Edition

Vampirism in a large part rewritten from scratch to provide a fresh and different experience that aims to challenge your expectations while trying to stay true to the lore of the world and Bethesda's intended atmosphere. Now also not only compatible but fully integrated with Dawnguard!

So what does it mean?

Other than Vampire Lord improvements, inclusion of new assets and compatibility with the expansion's quests integration with Dawnguard also means that "Vampiric Thirst" has shifted its focus the same way that the expansion changed the role of vampires in Skyrim. Before they used to be just an afterthought without any significant place in the world, any defined role to play or even a noticeable impact on gameplay. In one word: vanilla vampires sucked.

And I went along with it! That idea was great! I saw it as a sign that vampirism was intended to be a brutal, difficult struggle for survival fraught with insatiable bloodlust. I liked how it sounded but the issue was that Bethesda's implementation of the idea just wasn't fun to play! So that's what the mod aimed to change: it aimed to improve the gameplay while preserving the gritty, desperate, isolated feeling.

But now since Dawnguard was released that is no longer the case. Vampires no longer skulk in the shadows out of fear of their prey or even daylight itself and instead take the fight to them! They are no longer just content to survive but they want to thrive and dominate! And even the player gets a taste of this power: she or he is no longer a lone mongrel in a hostile world but a descendant of a royal bloodline favoured by Molag Bal. Not a "fledgling" always struggling to live another night but a "lord" waiting for a chance to rule if only she is ruthless and ambitious enough not to stop at the taste of power but to drain it to the last drop!

And this is also what this edition of "Vampiric Thirst" is about. Power is within your reach: how much do you desire it? How far will it drive you?

Please READ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS! Especially if you're updating to 2. 6 from an earlier version!

I always only support the latest version, anything that came earlier should be considered obsolete!
