For The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the Xbox 360, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Best Race/Build to maximise Vampirism'. The best race is the Breton. Everyone else is inconsequential. Skills all get to 100 no matter your race. The Breton resistance to magic trumps everyone else. With alteration perks you get 30% resistance, 25 for lord stone, 15 for agent of Mara, then 25 for the Breton. That's cap resistance without using an enchantment slot.
Just turned vampire, my khajiit's fur turned from orange to white over her whole body, she's still got default vampire eyes. Come on, that totally just killed my desire to play the vampire side of the DLC. She looks worse than the vanilla vampires did and I don't even know how that's possible... Is that a glitch, do you have to do something in particular to get the orange eyes?So basically, beast race vampires got no visual improvements whatsoever in this DLC, they look horrible.
Skyrim Good Vampire
Not to mention, it's kind of odd that in Lord form she magically grows a long white ponytail and strange jeweled clothing kind of just forms on her, that's not a biggie because I don't care for the transformation that much. Now I'm not really thrilled about vampires and therefor Dawnguard in general, I suppose I can do the quest line to get all the goodies then cure myself so I don't look like crap.EDIT:
Skyrim Best Looking Race For Vampire Lord
Oh and apparently you can't even use the face remodeling NPC either, why again are vampires so great? This has totally ruined the DLC for me, I don't want to play another race just so I can enjoy looking like a badass vampire, I just want to use my favorite character.
