I've been trying for a number of years to make a vampiress build. I've come up with various different concepts, but the crux of the matter is that I believe in the concept of a 'good' vampire, who isn't bent on world domination or carrying out illegal acts. As a result, I've found it rather questionable to waltz around in vampire armour, as it seems counter-intitutive to a vampire who does not want to become the 'lady of the castle' and does not want to draw attention to herself.
To this end, I've toyed with using vampire robes, boots, and gloves, and the shrouded hood for the aesthetics and Alteration for defence, but without magicka regeneration from the vampire armour (royal or standard) I don't see it working well. The skills I plan to use are: Illusion, Conjuration, Destruction, Restoration, Sneak, One Handed, and Light Armour or Alteration. The build is a stealthy vampire mage, who prefers to fight from the shadows and isn't planning on world domination or to go to kill the Dawnguard at the end of the Volkihar campaign.
Aesthetically, the robes seem like the best fit, but for effectiveness and viability, the armour seems best, so I'm stuck. Would you recommend Alteration or Light Armour for the final skill?
