Do you think we'll see a vampire/undead specialization? I was reading another forum and noticed someone asking about a vampire build.

I've only seen this in Elder Scrolls 4, where you could create a character that could be a vampire or zombie with rapid health regen.

Do you think we'll get anything like this in DA2?

You gain sparkles, blinding the enemy and causing mass hysteria to all surrounding foes. Lasts 10 seconds. Works only in sunlight.

No I do not believe we will see anything like that. This isn't an open world game where something like that could work.

Well, given Dragon Age lore, one obviously cannot have a "zombie" specialization because evil walking corpses are just that: corpses who have been animated by demonic possession. In Dragon Age, a "Rage Zombie" just means the demon in question was a Rage Demon.

Vampires, though? Undead issue aside, wouldn't the various aspects of vampire lore simply be integrated into other specializations? Turn into bat = shapeshifting, draining blood = blood magic, etc.

I'm 99.9% sure we won't get anything like this in DA2. The writers have said that DA's equivalent of vampires are far too monstrous for any social interaction.

[Sneelonz]

It works for TES, but not for DA.

[LovelyLittleLeprechauns]

I find that it is sort of like the werewolf thing in DA:O

[Daerog]

Closest things to a vampire-type thing in DA2 are undead possessed by hunger demons (maybe living, too), blood mages, and Reavers.

Win.

Anyway, I'd love to get something (class, specialization, amulet, anything) that grants you low but very quickly-renegerating health. That'd be awesome. I know it's quite a stretch from the base game mechanics, but a man can dream.

If we get twilight vampires im going straihgt home! However if we Get William the Bloody count me in XD

Lord I hope not. I especially hated the Oblivion vampires, though mostly because they ruined all that time I spent in the character creator by mutating my poor ranger in to a fugly old man. I would much rather they expanded blood magic. That's about as close as I ever want them to come to vampirism in this game.

I don't think I ever bothered with them in Oblivion, but I do remember trying to navigate Morrowind entirely at night without being able to talk to 90% of the npcs. *Shivers*.

Anyway, I don't think it fits DA as well as it fits Elder Scrolls.

I'd like to see an expansion of blood magic and its more sinister uses. For example, we're told blood mages can control the minds of others. I suppose being about to use it in-conversation or in gameplay as a domination ability would be reminiscent of vampiric thralls. Or perhaps the ability to puppeteer a dead corpse to your will, kind of like a cross between the Dead of the Abhorsen trilogy and Bloodbending from Avatar. (I have them on my mind since I just rewatched/reread them)  Probably the closest you could get to something "undead."

Vampires are almost impossible to balance, I'd like the option, but I suspect it would be broken



Morrowind

Oblivion

Everquest Online PS2 all have Vamps of some sort, and all were unbalanced

Don't forget the teenage angst and drama. Oh and a girl who has no personality of her own so that anyone can relate

We already have a spell to summon an undead from a corpse and control them - in Spirit section called "Animate dead"

[saMoorai]

only if they are badass Vampires like Alucard and Kain,

[KennethAFTopp]

No.

DOH!  Apologies, I apparently have the idiot ball glued to my face this afternoon.  So sorry about that 

But I still want mind control powers.  MIND CONTROOOOOOL POWERRRRRS!

Well Twilight sold good, giving such thing might be the one thing needed to get 10.000.000 copies of the game sold.

They would have to change the game to the point where you have two choices for a name: Edward or Jacob.

Also, /agree with most of the above comments. It's a nifty idea, but doesn't fit into the lore really and would be hard to implement.

you could become a zombie in elder scroll?
