Yes! So, only Master Dracul (ancient vampires) and those they directly turn have pale skin/glowing blue eyes and are far more powerful. The origin of vampirism is the Malispheres themselves and have only ever created 2 “pure” vampires (Dorian and Amber). This is why their victims share the same pale skin.Is there a lore reason behind why some vampires have blue skin and some have white? In vampire path Mila is pale. In many of the hunter game overs, she is blue.
Every other vampire also seems to fall into this arbitrary colouring scheme. I'm just curious as to how you decide who gets to be what.
The curse gets diluted from master to victim, so any vampires that are turned beyond the master Dracul directly are lesser vampires, aka the common blue variety. Every other vampire type is descended in some way from the Dracul.
The original reason was that I wanted a there to be a big visual distinction between Mila’s human and vampire form, which is why the first few vampires are blue-skinned. Regular pale skin is a bit too subtle for my taste. But, as the scope of the game grew, I saw an opportunity to create all sort of different kinds of vampires, such as Wights, Nosferatu, and the Dracul.
