    i would go with dark elf they look sinister and creepy and have a 50% fire resistance and fit the build very well.

    Dark Elves or Altmer make good vampires, but lorewise, the Volkihars are primarily Nords.

    With the benefits of frost resistance: Nord  But if your going for a unique vampire experience with a unusual race I would go with either a Orc or a Khajjit or Argonian. P.S Khajiit get saber cat like fangs as vamps and the Scaley ones get longer fangs as well and their scales change and go darker. Hope this helped!

    Thank you.I never knew that aragonians scales got darker and fangs got longer.I'll try it out and see how it is as a vampire.

    Heres a epic example of a Orc vampire should you go that route. And of a vamp khajiit!

     

    Fully evolved Orc Vampire S’renji is now a vampire. It’ll take some time to adjust to his new look.

    Dunmer are perfect candidates in terms of mechanics because their fire resistance offsets the vampire weakness.  In a roleplaying sense, they also will blend in as dunmer often are pale with red eyes.

    Personally I prefer the look of imperial or breton vampires.  Nords are too big.

    True.nords are the kind that would crush em not be one.

    To be honest, I always thought Khajit and Argonian vampires looked kinda hokey...

    I think there's something to be said for a hulking Nord vampire. Especially if you buck convention and play.as something other than a sneaky Illusion mage.
