Questions About Enthralling

You are able to enthrall victims if they are sleeping, seduced (Vampire Seduction) or bleeding out.  This option is initially disabled in the MCM and must be activated.

You can attempt to enthrall a victim by activating them (like feeding).  If their combined health and stamina is less than yours, they will be overwhelmed and made into Vampire Cattle.  If they are still stronger than you, they will fight off your attempt to subvert them and attack you.  If you currently have Praestare Sanguinare activated, you cannot enthrall your victim.

Feeding on Vampire Cattle will not raise an assault alarm.  I initially added an assault alarm, but because the Cattle are often looking at you when you feed it will incur a bounty even if nobody else sees you.  It never felt right, so I am leaving it as is.

You can enthrall a maximum of 10 victims.  They are set to use Reference Aliases.  Once you use the 10th reference alias your 11th victim will release and replace your very first and so on.

If possible, your Vampire Cattle might be able to become your follower - if not they stand (or lay) mesmerized and waiting for their master to feed on them.  Not all NPCs can be made into followers; this is just the way Skyrim is set up. There are two conditions that the follower quest checks and must be met in order for the follower dialogue to appear. The first is the voice type. The NPC must have a voice type that is a Default NPC Voice Type (which is why the command won't work on any of the unique voice NPCs). The second condition is that they cannot be a Jarl (JobJarlFaction = 0). Trying to force someone to be a follower will not work if a NPC fails either one of these two conditions. I suggest saving before you try and reload if that NPC doesn't work.

It is possible to return an NPC back to normal, but I maintain that you should think carefully about who you enthrall because it may break quests ...  If you use the MCM or the config power to "blank" the mod, it will remove all the reference aliases on those you have turned into vampires or enthralled.  You may have to wait until the cell refreshes (30 game days at most) or simply exiting and re-entering the cell may reload the NPC and have them back to normal.


I suggest trying to use this mod to expand the number of voice types that can become followers.
