So... Any tips on making a not so ugly vampire in vanilla skyrim? Thin cheeks, pale skin, blood on the lips... Not very attractive. Any tips?

If you have the PC version, mods. If not, well you're out of luck pretty much.

hey guys was just wondering is this build viable without being a vampire? cause i have tried this build several times and just got sick of the downsides like no regeneration in sunlight and fire weakness. i know i have mods that fix vampirism but i always felt weird playing a vampire cause half my characters make a living killing vampires! Also can i use crossbows instead of swords, i typically disdain melee combat that is what minions are for. 

Hi, CB Host Billy Mays here!  I would assume that it would still be viable because I don't see anything that would discourage anybody from trying this without vampirism.  If you happen to have the Dragonborn DLC, you can use a full-powered Dragon Aspect shout to achieve 60% shout cooldown reduction for a short period of time.  Just note that Necromage will not boost the effects of these shouts this build uses if you're not a vampire.

I have a mod that removes the necromage perk so Vamprism would be useless

I might be able to make this build work just add the speech tree to aid shout cooldown, use destruction for ice runes, plus enchanted crossbow sounds pretty badass

Vampires in this game, if you haven't noticed, use ice spells.
