Vampires are one of the enemies featured in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and its plug-in, Dawnguard. They are individuals afflicted with the disease Sanguinare Vampiris. The disease causes drastic physical and biological changes that are permanent if not cured within three days. Among these changes include a heightened vulnerability to sunlight and fire and an increased resistance to frost. All benefits and inhibitions are sustained by the consumption of blood.

Origins
Vampires can be traced back to the Daedric PrinceMolag Bal, the Lord of Domination, who created the first vampire sometime around the First Era. Lamae Beolfag was a Nedic virgin who was raped by Molag Bal. It is recorded that after the ordeal, Molag Bal shed a droplet of blood on her brow and left her to die. During the night she died, but as her funeral pyre was still burning she emerged as the first pure-blood vampire.[1][2]
Pure blood
Molag Bal has since been known to confer Pure Vampirism to other individuals directly via a ritual that granted them great power over 'lesser' vampires. One such case was Lord Harkon, who claims to have slaughtered a thousand innocents in order to gain this power, though this might be an exaggeration due to contradictory evidence.[3]
Daughters of Coldharbour
Females seeking to gain the pure-blood vampirism are required to undergo a ritual with Molag Bal. Such confluences are called Daughters of Coldharbour. A tradition developed among Molag Bal worshiping cults which dictated that females be offered to him on his summoning day. Few survive the ordeal and those who do emerge as pure-blooded vampires. Being selected as an offering was considered to be an honor that is not rejected lightly.[4]
Stigma
Due to their predatory nature, vampires are widely viewed as evil and violent creatures. Citizens and Hold Guards consider vampires open threats and attack anyone who reveals themselves to be a vampire (or if it can obviously be seen). In some cases, vampires are actively hunted down and destroyed by certain people, namely the Vigilants of Stendarr and the Dawnguard.
Volkihar Clan
The vampires who inhabit the wilds of Skyrim are largely considered to stem from the powerful Volkihar Clan that began with Harkon. These vampires are not considered to be of pure blood like Harkon and his family, as their vampirism was contracted from other lesser vampires. As such they are often looked down upon by members of Harkon's court.[5]
They are said to live under haunted, frozen lakes and only leave their dens to feed, however more often than not they are encountered in remote caves and ruins. It's unknown if any Volkihar Vampires possess the ability to reach through the ice of frozen lakes as described in books, or if it's just folklore.
In addition, the Volkihar share many of the same traits as their Cyrodilic counterparts. A few are known to be more cultured and civilized than the vampires of other provinces and as such can seamlessly blend into society. Many also prefer to feed on victims while they are asleep and unaware. One difference, however, is they do not burn in direct sunlight, rather they are just weakened by it.
In the Dawnguardplug-in, the Volkihar Clan becomes a joinable faction.
Physical appearance
Vampires can be of any race but the majority of them are easily distinguishable from uninfected persons. As a result of the hemophiliac virus, Sanguinare Vampiris, the infected slowly grow a pallid complexion. Fangs protrude from their gums, allowing for easier feeding and eye color changes from the spectrum of average hues to red. Bosmer and Dunmer, which typically already possess red eyes, may pass unnoticed as vampires.
When infected, the fur of the Khajiit alters as the skin of a human or elf would. Long-toothed by nature, the incisors of the Khajiit grow exceptionally long, so that they protrude below the lip. However, their pupils become thinner and more blade-like. The scales of Argonians grows grayer as the infection worsens.
Dawnguard
With the addition of The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard, the facial features for some human vampires was slightly re-designed to be noticeably more twisted.
The most apparent is the eyes which have changed from red to a golden-orange hue. The cheeks are prominently narrowed and folds of skin that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth are also significantly deeper. The bridge of the nose features several ridges and is shortened, much like a bat. Prominent ridges also appear around the forehead and eyes, and a deep crimson line runs down from the bottom of the nose to the chin. The only exceptions to most of these drastic physical changes seem to be Serana, Valerica, Hert, Sybille Stentor and Lord Harkon.

Types
Vampires come in two variants: regular and master. The specific type that is encountered is typically level-dependent, however lower leveled vampires can still be encountered at higher levels. The race and gender is radiant.
The combat style of both types doesn't vary much. Both are primarily spellcasters and one-handed melee fighters and wear either assorted pieces of armor or standard Mage Robes. They also have a unique version of Vampiric Drain spell that is much more powerful than the version available to the Dragonborn. At higher levels it can drain health, stamina and magicka. All vampires past level 6 also gain a bonus to Unarmed Damage.
Both types also exhibit the symptoms of stage two of Vampirism, namely:
Dawnguard
The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard introduces two new sub-types of vampire. The Nightlord Vampire, the highest standard vampire type and the Nightmaster Vampire, the highest boss level variety, replacing the Volkihar Master Vampire.
In addition, vampires now wear a selection of vampire specific clothing and armor, rather than generic mage robes. These include vampire armor, vampire boots and vampire robes.
Standard vampires
Standard vampires range from level 1–48. With the addition of The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard, the level 60 Nightlord Vampire is added.
Master Vampires
Master Vampires are the highest possible level of vampires encountered and typically serve as the boss of a vampire lair.
The standard Master Vampires are level dependant and range from level 14–42, whereas the Volkihar Master Vampire is fixed at level 53 but can be encountered when the Dragonborn is level 39+. The Nightmaster Vampire can only be encountered at level 65 or higher.

Dialogue
'You've come far, mortal. No doubt you seek to enter Potema's Sanctum. I can see to that. We'll need plenty of fresh corpses to rebuild her army, you see.'
Conversations
Vampire: 'And who is this?'
Vighar: 'It is no matter, this fool will be the next act of the show.'
Vampire: 'These Vigilants never know when to give up. I thought we'd taught them enough of a lesson at their hall.'
Vampire 2: 'To come in here alone.. a fool like all the rest of them.' Vampire: 'He fought well though. Jeron and Bresoth were no match for him.' Vampire 2: 'Ha. Those two deserved what they got. Their arrogance had become insufferable.' Vampire: 'All this talk is making me thirsty. Perhaps another Vigilant will wander in soon.' Vampire 2: 'I wish Lokil would hurry it up. I have half a mind to return to the castle and tell Harkon what a fool he's entrusted this mission to.' Vampire: 'And I have half a mind to tell Lokil of your disloyalty.' Vampire 2: 'You wouldn't dare. Now shut up and keep on watch.'
Adalvald: 'I'll never tell you anything, vampire. My oath to Stendarr is stronger than any suffering you can inflict on me.'
Lokil: 'I believe you, Vigilant. And I don't think you even know what you've found here. So go and meet your beloved Stendarr.' Vampire: 'Are you sure that was wise, Lokil? He still might have told us something. We haven't gotten anywhere ourselves with..' Lokil: 'He knew nothing. He served his purpose by leading us to this place. Now it is up to us to bring Harkon the prize. And we will not return without it. Vingalmo and Orthjolf will make way for me after this.' Vampire: 'Yes, of course Lokil. Do not forget who brought you news of the Vigilants' discovery.' Lokil: 'I never forget who my friends are. Or my enemies.' Trivia

How to Become a Vampire[edit]
You'll need to come in contact with another vampire. Each hit by a vampiric enemy has a chance of passing the Sanguinare Vampiris disease onto you.
Skyrim 0010.jpg
You can find vampires in Haemar's Shame, a cave to the southwest of Ivarstead. If you want to contract Vampirism, go there and let the vampires attack you. Or simply purchase or aquire Vampire Salts and ingest them as you would any food item.
The effects of the disease do not take hold immediately, as the transformation is gradual if left unattended. In the previous game, it took three in-game days to consummate the conversion to vampirism, after which the player assumes all the perks and downsides of being a vampire.
Note that if you have the Dawnguard expansion pack, the Vampire Lord functions differently from the standard Vampire discussed here. Visit the Vampire Lord page for more relevant information.
Vampirism is the belief in the existence of vampires such that it may manifest the characteristics of vampires in people.
Vampirism makes a return to Skyrim. As was the case in the previous game, Oblivion, the player has a chance of contracting a disease called Sanguinare Vampiris. The initial disease can be cured normally, but if left unchecked for three nights, the diseased will become a vampire.
Skyrim Special Edition Vampire Mod
Full vampirism is difficult to cure and made up of four distinct stages. The disease progresses every 24 hours a vampire goes without feeding on a sleeping NPC. Feeding always returns you to stage one.
These are the four stages to vampirism. The effects of the debuffs are amplified with each stage advancement.
Stage 1[edit]
Stage 2[edit]
Stage 3[edit]
Stage 4[edit]
(Note: With the addition of the Dawnguard DLC, you will no longer be treated with hostility. Consequently, taking the form of a Vampire Lord will make the citizens hostile.)
Stealth-type characters profit the most from the bonuses of vampirism, but the disadvantages are rather inconvenient for other character archetypes.
Advantages[edit]
How to Feed as a Vampire[edit]
Once afflicted with Vampirism, you will slowly progress through the four stages, eventually becoming 'blood-starved.' At this stage in the disease, most people will not talk with you and will instead attack you.
In order to regress to earlier stages of vampirism, you will need to feed. You can feed only on sleeping humans, which you can find in most towns. Sneak into their homes, creep up behind them while they sleep and, while crouching, the option to 'Pickpocket' should appear. Choose to pickpocket and you will further be given the option to 'Pickpocket' or 'Feed.' Choose to feed and the deed will be done without disturbing the sleeping target.
How to Cure Vampirism[edit]
If you rid the disease early on before the onset of symptoms, then a simple Cure Disease will do the trick or going to temples in towns and using the altar. At later stages, however, it is still possible to cure yourself by resorting to Lycanthropy or doing the quest Rising at Dawn. However, becoming a lycanthrope is permanent unless you progress through the companions and it has its own costs and benefits.

Better Vampires SSE is a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, created by Brehanin.
Description:
Better Vampires is an overhaul mod for Skyrim. It strives to maintain balance and provide a much better experience for those wishing to play the game as a Vampire. Other vampire mods exist, but they can be overly complex or force you to play only as the author intended. My mod is about choice and flexibility - and making your adventuring in Skyrim much more enjoyable.
This mod only affects the player vampire; I don't make any changes to NPC vampires.
This is a HIGHLY customizable Vampire mod; you choose how you want to play.
Only a few minor details (like modifying jump height or displaying a blood meter) cannot port to SE or consoles.
- Use the customization power that you find in your spell menu to set all the options for BV - then feed once on a sleeping or seduced victim to solidify your stage, rank, and all options.
- Crouch (sneak) while activating my customization power to see your Vampire status.
- Use customization power to look at your Vampire details to see your rank progress.
* NOTE: DO NOT select those you turn into Vampires to change their appearance - this is like the grey face bug in old Skyrim but much worse because their whole head will be black when doing a race change. Leave them at 'No Change'
To install use Nexus Mod Manager.

It turns out there's more to Skyrim: Special Edition than just prettier graphics and some performance improvements. There's a bundle of minor, undocumented changes between the two versions that are fascinating in their fussiness: they seem to be inspired by developers knowing they can't do anything drastic to their game, but still can't stop themselves from tinkering away. I've played a lot of Skyrim since 2011, so I've been scrutinizing the Special Edition for minute differences. Here are a handful of things that have clearly been bothering someone at Bethesda for the last five years.
You can loot the torturer's hood
I have a serious case of what they call “alt-itis”, a debilitating condition that means when I play roleplaying games I keep making alternate characters instead of knuckling down and hitting max level with the one I've already got. Before discovering the Alternate Start – Live Another Life mod I replayed the introduction of Skyrim repeatedly because I'd decided I needed to start over and this time be a lizardman who was also a wizardman, so I'm pretty familiar with it. While making your escape in that introduction you fight a torturer wearing a sweet hood in Helgen's prison, but I could never steal it off his corpse. I'd have to wait till the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood to get one of my own. Well, now anyone can loot that hood and wear it with pride.
Save files are separate
The other problem with alt-itis is that it makes the number of save files you have proliferate like cockroaches, but even ordinary players can find themselves with a list of Skyrim saves longer than a Staff of the Familiar. You wind up keeping old saves so that you can return to Sovngarde or the Soul Cairn or replay that one mission where you convince the god of madness to end his vacation. Managing all those saves is easier now: save files are separated by character name and all your saves for that Argonian named Lizard Wizard and the Nord called Axebeard Beardaxe are distinct. Also, “quicksave” is right there on the menu now if you forget that the shortcut for it is F5.
Vampires aren't as deadly
If you had the Dawnguard expansion installed in vanilla Skyrim it would trigger vampire attacks on settlements, pushing you to become a vampire hunter when you were about level nine. Those attacks could potentially kill several characters you might like, especially the merchants who hang around in the streets of Whiterun. In Special Edition, that hasn't happened to me. At least when it comes to vampires, townsfolk are as likely to shake off their attacks as Lydia is to somehow survive walking into yet another trap. Once I stumbled out of a tavern to find the remains of dead vampires and their thralls spread across the street where they'd been taken out by locals before I even noticed them.
Sprinting is a toggle
Having separate save files for each character is something Bethesda also did with Fallout 4, and another change that comes to Skyrim: Special Edition via that game is toggled sprinting. Once upon a time you'd have to hold down the Alt button until your stamina bar was empty if you wanted to sprint. Now it's one tap to sprint and another to stop. It's another very small change, but it may take me another 100 hours to get used to it and stop myself trying to sprint the old way.
Some alchemy ingredients are easier to find
If the alchemy ingredients you need are flowers, then you're in luck. Now that Skyrim can handle extra foliage being on screen without dropping the framerate, certain plants have proliferated. Flowers are the most noticeable of them. Have a look around Whiterun, for example, and the harvestable white flowers of Tundra Cotton show up all over the place. Both the arms and armor store Warmaiden's and the purchaseable house Breezehome have Tundra Cotton growing right out front in case you need to stock up for your Potions of Fortify Barter.
Water makes more sense
Water looks better than it used to thanks to Skyrim: Special Edition, but in addition to looking better it also behaves more logically. It used to be that waves would move uninterrupted through objects, as could be seen clearly around the hull of the Wreck of the Pride of Tel Vos in Winterhold. Sometimes it even flowed upriver. Now, water flows around objects in a sensible way on its path from the mountains out to the Sea of Ghosts. Rain and snow are also sensitive to obstacles and will no longer fall on your fashionable hood even when you're standing under an overhang. Thanks, occlusion!
The civil war is more impressive
Skyrim wasn't really made for large-scale battles, as you'll have noticed if you ever tried any of the mods that worked them in. The new edition makes things run more smoothly, which is of particular note in the civil war storyline. During the quests that involve pitched battles you charge into, fighting over cities like Whiterun, more of the combatants will take part in the actual combat rather than hanging back to let you do all the work (and also to sneakily preserve your framerate). And they say war never changes.
