Dracula is also Vlad the impaler. A scimitar or a nordic carved sword would be appropriate for use as he would have been an accomplished swordsman, and was trained by the Ottomans, so a Kilej (curved sword) works. He was one of the first Europeans to utilize fire arms in battle, and loved to ambush his opponents. Fire based destruction, archery with flame bolts, and sneaking would be usable. Illusion for mind control abilities, familiars for his love of wolves, the children of the night. Bram Stoker wrote a prequel to Dracula where he was taught magic by satan himself. So any daedra is viable. Enchanting and alchemy could be use due to this, and Dracula being fascinated by science in the novels. He would probably love Dwarven stuff. Keening and the dwarven black bow of fate would be on his list due to absorb all attributes. He fits very well in Skyrim, since his name means dragon. Learning as many words of power would be useful and match, along with the main quest, all be it him asserting dominance over the dragons. Kill the blades. The Thalmor matches the Ottomans well enough. He could turn into fog, so maybe wind cloak or frost cloak. I do reccomend the shout that increases attack speed, slow time, the dash shout, if you want to show case vampiric speed. For armor ebony looks great. I think steel plate could work, or what I would choose, Penitus Occulatus for blacked out, and a glitch that allows a circlet to be worn with the helmet. Vampires are also said to spread disease, so any mods that allow disease damage would be nice. A hybrid mod like tainted blood to allow werewolf and vampire at the same time would be excellent, since both are almost indistinguishable in folk lore, and the Strigoi vampire which Dracula would be could shape shift into a wolf.

Been watching a lot of skyrim lately... a lot of youtubers lately do the trendy thing... ill let you know this. This has been the best video ive watched in years man... keep up the good content you'll go places

"Like a struggling Hollywood actress, I suck my way to my goal." Greatest line ever 😂😂. Loved this idea.

*HOW did this video from such a tiny channel get so incredibly OP in KZfaq's algorithm??* That said, great video. Whatever else you're doing to appease your KZfaq overlords, *it's definitely working.* IoI

this video was absolutely amazing. your editing style and humour is amazing. i don’t know if youtube and skyrim is a passion of yours, or just a simple hobby you’ve decided to share with us, but whatever goals you have with this channel, i’m sure you will achieve. keep up the great work.

Have you thought about using the mod "vampires fight with claws" so that way when you're in human form, it allows you to fight kind of like a khajiit 😊

Never played a vampire before, and now I know what my next build will be!

I would have used illusion magic as well, considering vampires have a buff to illusion spell effectiveness

If you had the animated armory mod you could've done a Vlad The Impaler thing too. Animated armory includes a bound version of its spears, meaning it still counts as only using conjuration.

This unique from anything I’ve seen, I love this!

this reminds me of old school KZfaq, i loved it lol

This waa a lot of fun to watch. Listening to was fun too, you've got such a great voice for this. I hope to see more videos like these, keep up the great work! 👍

My man, this has to be the funniest and one of the most entertaining Skyrim videos I've seen in a while! Thank you for the good work and keep it up, I'm subscribed now

Good vid, Can't wait to see other runs!

This is without a doubt the single most entertaining Skyrim video I've ever watched. Your edits are superior to any other content makers who do Skyrim.

you'll have millions of subs for sure. Great content!

AMAZING CONTENT BRO YOUR CHANNEL'S A WHOLE W!!

The comedy has earned you a new subscriber KEKW

We need another one of these types of run throughs! Your hilarious 😂

This is very good quality from such a small channel. Impressive!

Ngl, I usually watch other people; but somehow your video drew me in. I like the video, so much so that I literally finished the video and then clicked on your channel to see if you had any other videos. I was ready to watch them all, haha. Keep up the good work, hopefully you thrive in the KZfaq community!

Fun fact: in the lore when you use a resurrection spell on a dead person, it sends that person's soul to the soul cairn preventing them from having an afterlife. Therefore, the best way to deal with nazeem is to murder him and then resurrect him because he doesn't deserve an afterlife

Ngl I wasnt thinking of subscribing but the frozone edit was probably the greatest edit I’ve ever seen on KZfaq and I have to now

Here I am playing Skyrim as Dracula...just yesterday I was a nord. Today....Vampire Lord! Got yourself a sub!

awesome video man!

Finally a new tuber that I can watch. Good editing BTW.

The “struggling Hollywood actress” joke is what got me to subscribe. 😂

You are really good. Keep up the good work.

Vlad the Impaler is remembered by history because he was caught between two empires and kept them both of his minor province of Wallachia. He was a rebel through and through.

Brilliant!

Great video, you've earned a 369th(?) sub from me. Really like the intro bit and other small explanation parts about dracula. Keep it up!

I feel like the Humanoid Vampire Lord or Vampire Lord Renewed mod would have totally enhanced the aesthetic of this challenge, would Count Dracula take on such a monstrous form to be at full power? I don't think so. Then again this challenge looks vanilla as heck but that's fine.

Keep up the good work my man

Very cool!

Awwww vanilla vampires 😂😂😂

Hey this is actually really good stuff man

"I tried to make my character look as much like Dracula as I can." - Proceeds to remove mustache.

Good run bro

This was a lot of fun to watch. You are really funny and I loved the theme. So I've def sub'd! For ideas: Why not keep up the creature feature and do a Wolfman run next?

Nice idea, just a little note regarding Dawnguard: You can run to Fort Dawnguard as early as Level 1 and start the questline there (though you need to find your way without a questmarker, but i guess that should be no problem), you don't have to wait for Durak to tell you about it. 😉

I mean, in the book Dracula could manipulate the weather to summon storms, so you could have taken the Storm Call shout.

Dude that graybeard bit at the beginning got me dead

Nice concept! Subbed!

Vampire lord ! Eh?! Nice!

Dracula was the first character I made when i first got Skyrim way back on 11-11-11 still my favorite character playthrough , played that character on my first playthrough of Oblivion also

Not gonna lie after years of playing Skyrim with Mods the plainness of this gave me a stomachache.

Fun one!

Awesome. You really made me laugh a few times. Especially about hiring The Three Stooges.

Man i started today recording a run to do a video, funny i found your video on the same day ! Good luck on the next video and this one was very funny to watch !

Actually in Van Helsing he does indeed use his hands to throw and beat people up, as well as some other media, I don’t remember if you’re sticking solely with the books, but you should be able to use a sword if that’s the case because he was after all Vlad the Impaler. I’m sure he wouldn’t have lost his skill with blade, in fact he’d be more deadly with it.

Underrated asf

Become ethereal shout should be allowed as dracula is known for vanishing and transmutation.

Dracula used a sword too so you don't need to restrain your character.

Okay I have hundreds of hours in Skyrim but I've never killed Ulfric. That's a shock to see him in Sovngarde. Interesting.

Good, good. Now: *Beat Skyrim as Alucard.*

Illusion is also a Dracula thing

This was very entertaining. Gained a like and a subscribe from me

I think unarmed combat / normal melee would be okay for a vampire build. I’m sure my homie Dracula can throw the hands. The argument could also be made that since it’s in Skyrim, he could do anything an in game vampire could do.

You should try out the sneak-summon spells build run. Were only your conjured creatures can kill your enemies, and you would have to use sneak skill so enemies won't kill you. You can event start this run immediately in Helgen since bretons have Conjure Familiar from the start.

Vampiric drain is utterly pathetic…which is a shame. Add to that, until much later you do not have enough Magicka to seriously regain much health with it, a few good thug hits take more health from you than you can leech back. There IS a mod that increases drain a fair bit, but you’ll still need to be down on Adept play to make it sufficiently potent as a weapon. BTW…why BGS made Vampire Lord so butt fugly and in fact also those un-transformed weird face vamps is stupid…Thank goodness for mods. BGS needs to watch “Underworld” to see what lady vamps should be like.

Dracula uses destruction and Illusion too.

Good video

I’d have gotten the Aetherial Crown for this run. If you wear it while acquiring the Ritual Stone and then get the Lord Stone while still wearing it, it gives you the Lord Stone as your base and stores the Ritual Stone in the crown, therefore you don’t have to wait a full day to use it again as long as you take it off and re-equip it. Doing that as Dracula would feel real awesome and the crown itself would fit the run.

I did a similar thing with an Alucard castlevania playthrough, except I used sword and shields

I would love a mod that puts Ulfric in the Soul Cairn if you soul trap him. And he still asks if we know the way to the mead hall, not knowing his mighty Talos can't defeat a 30 septim soul trap spell tome and a stupid black rock.

noice

My last playthrough was a "Skooma addict" playthrough, nothing was too dirty or dastardly just as long as I could get skooma, I even have a camp outside the skooma den so I don't have to leave

That's hella cool! Did three runs through Skyrim, but never personality based ones. You could try to do a Touhou run with the character Sakuya Izayoi. She's 'a maid' who uses throwing knives and time/space magics (high agility but low power, defense & resistances).Don't know what game would work well with her though...

are you gonna have a play through on star field also I really like this skyrim idea

Anh I have to play my old vamp character again - Count Snackula

Every time I get vampire abilities/become a vampire, I always forget that I need to feed. So after I've not fed for a long time, I become hated and feared and that's when I realize that I need to feed 💀 Also, Nice vid 😆 I'm glad that there are still plenty of people who play/enjoy Skyrim, even in 2023 xd

Some illusion spells would also be valid, as Dracula can control certain animals like rats and wolves.

Here a short character introduction of Dracula: Dracula, the iconic character from Bram Stoker's novel, is a dark and mysterious figure that has captivated audiences for generations. Dracula is an immortal vampire, known for his hypnotic powers, commanding presence, and insatiable thirst for blood. The legendary vampire, is an enigmatic figure shrouded in darkness and allure. With an aristocratic demeanor and a commanding presence, he embodies both charm and malevolence. His pale skin, piercing eyes, and sharp fangs serve as a chilling reminder of his supernatural origins. Born in Transylvania, Dracula possesses incredible strength and agility, making him a formidable opponent. He possesses the power to transform into various creatures, such as bats or wolves, and can control lesser vampires under his command. Dracula's ability to manipulate the minds of his victims, bending their will to his desires, adds to his dangerous allure. Dracula's insatiable thirst for blood is the driving force behind his existence. He preys upon the innocent, drawing sustenance from their life force to sustain his immortality. However, his dark desires are not without conflict. Dracula struggles with his own torment, torn between his yearning for love and the darkness that consumes him. A master of seduction and manipulation, Dracula uses his charisma and hypnotic powers to ensnare those who cross his path. He is a creature of the night, lurking in the shadows, seeking his next victim with a predatory cunning that knows no bounds. Throughout his existence, Dracula has become synonymous with the embodiment of evil, forever associated with the supernatural and the macabre. His name has become a symbol of fear and fascination, capturing the imaginations of countless storytellers and leaving an indelible mark on popular culture. Whether portrayed as a tragic figure struggling with his monstrous nature or a malevolent force to be vanquished, Dracula remains an iconic character, forever etched into the annals of horror literature and cinema. His enduring legacy continues to inspire and terrify, making him one of the most iconic figures in the realm of the undead.

Loot, steal and sell until $1 million bucks

Let's see d Dracula in survival mode

Dracula is Vlad the Impaler a turkish warrior… he uses sword famed to be a strong warrior

Some of the subtle digs/comments in here go crazy lmfao. Great run idea.

You could have also use illusion spells as well

So many people talking about how you could have used mods for this and not realizing that a challenge build is called that for a reason, it’s a challenge. If you add mods to make it easy, it isn’t a challenge build anymore, it’s *just* a build

Dracula count Dracula meets count kitty 🦇🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🏰🐾🌚🌚🐾🐾🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🐾🦇🐾🐈‍⬛

You can actually start dawnguard at level 1 if you want to. Just head to fort dawnguard and it starts.

Why does vampiric drain do less damage with Serana as a follower?

A run as Chuck Norris

Why is the vampire drain weaker around serana ?? I never knew this

Just out of curiosity did you use ANY mods for this run like added abilities, weapons, etc?

The bit at 2:46 should be made into a mod.

How do it as count chocula

wait a sec....why does having serana as a follwer lower the damage of the vampiric drain? i had no clue that was even a thing.

So I never knew that Serana lowrred your drain damage. How's that work?

Have you tried the mod ring of the cursed sun is a mod that deosnt let the sun drain your health , stamina , or magicka

Beat skyrim as the real thor

U should have picked up the ritual stone

Who started this Skyrim challenge content ?

I want to see you do a playthrough of Elder Scroll 6.

8:00 wrong hes based on the Irish legend of the Abhartach

So who says Dracula can't be a cat person.

Next time do the Dracula from blade

can you beat skyrim as the shield hero naofumi?

Try a run as being a werewolf leading the vampires.

Wait, Why does having Serana as a companion decrease damage dealt with vampiric drain?
