I want to start off expressing my gratitude for such a great mod, and approval of everything Dark Mod, and by relevance, Thief.. well. Old Thief, that is. *shudders* With a victorian, gothic, dark steampunk universe such as this, Vampires would be a welcome, and fitting addition. If I may, I would like to give some advice on how to design vampires to distinguish themselves from the normal archetypes, and through that, distinguish TDM even more. What I am suggesting is a strain of vampires reminiscent of those found within The Strain trilogy of books, by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan: which can be read about on wikipedia. Looking under the Biology subsection, you can see how that universes' vampires are different. Gone are the handsome, fanged vampires. These vampires don't have any hair, noses, ears, fangs, or teeth! They have a distended jaw and a long tongue that injects you with blood worms! Utterly disgusting and quite frankly, amazing from a creative standpoint. If there are ever vampires within a fan made mission or lore, this, in my opinion, would be the best kind of vampires to have. Kind, meaning loosely following the vampire presented in this fiction. The Dark Mod universe would benefit greatly from it! I don't mean copying this vampire verbatim, of course. The greatest distinguishing feature I would enjoy within the Dark Mod universe would be The Stinger, and lack of teeth. In the end, this is only a suggestion. A very cool kind of vampire that I think would fit right at home within this universe, which from what I have seen, has no native vampires. Please, leave your thoughts here. I'd much love to see what you guys think about this, and your responses send my e-peen through the roof.
