    I am about to run through the DG main quest as a vamp. Which race do you think makes the best looking vampire. I know all about a vampire's weakness and which races would be helpful to overcome them. This is all about pure aesthetics.

    Vanity, vanity--I figure, if you're going to be immortal, you might as well look good.

    High elf or nord for me... I tried with a wood elf... They already looked like goblins, they didn't need the extra stuff as a vampire... Orcs, barely noticed a change other than the eyes.

    Imperials for me. Their racial power just fits and the look is perfect for a vampire.

    I'm going to say Breton, it's a fun contradiction when a highly respected race has a vampire :)

    Oh, I disagree wholeheartedly, Bosmer vampires look badass with the glowing eyes, just throw in a mohawk and bam! :P

    I also agree with Henson about the Imperials.

    I Would say the Dark Elf is Best for a vampire because of it's resistance to fire but for me a breton looks the best. I would,nt go with wood elf they look a bit bit weird

    Altmer for sure. I am playing a High Elven Vampire currently and he look great (the build should be up within a week!).

    Dunmer are cool but they do not change to much most times. Nords are the best I think.

    Does orcs change at all? Aside from the glowing eyes?

    What is the Skyrim name for a mohawk? Should it be called a boshawk from now on?

    Altmer look like tall Dunmer when they are Vampires, and Khajiit have an appearance that comes off as that they are just far more wild then other Khajiit.

    I say Imperials. I have made an awesome looking Pimp named Lord Vinec Murruso.

    Here's my awesome looking Vampire.

    Avoid Argonian's - while they're my favorite race, I prefer the darker skin. Also, the tiny fangs that Argonian vampires get is just disgraceful...

    Bosmer vampires! They are indeed awesome. Sometimes a heavily underrated race.

    I would have to say either a dark Elf or High Elf I have done the dawnguard DLC twice already I was a vampire using a High Elf and they look cool when they are vampires but that's my opinion

    Sorry it took me so long to reply to this, but I, with this character, went down the road of the Blade. He is all Samurai, but with a Vampiric twist.

    Plus he had an invisible shield, so I was able to literally muscle people to the ground with him.

    Also, he was a Voice, I made him Master the Thu'um. Fuck I had so much fun with this Character. If I had Dragonborn on my Brother's X-Box. I'd have the Champion's Cudgel. Because he was the Champ for the Legion. The thing is I hate Legion, anything that follows after the influence of the Roman Legion in my books suck, well except good ole Lord Vinec Murruso.

    They all look like tall Dunmer. I was thinkin, someone should do a build that says that they use an Altmer Vampire but really say its a tall Dunmer. They have the same voice anyhow.
