Dragn Age Vampires- Fan Story Concept

I haven't watched the video, so I don't know anything what's being said there but I just don't see Dragon Age and vampirism going together. Fantasy setting doesn't get better by adding more fantastic creatures. Just look at ghasts.

That's true, I didn't think of the short stories. I was thinking of more Anne Rice or Dracula type of vampires, though. That's probably why I felt it wouldn't work in a DA setting.

Hmmm....What if Solas is really a vampire? hahahahahahahaha. What would the title of the game be? Dragon Age: Dracula meets Flemeth

Vampires are so overused in fantasy settings that I wouldn't want to see more of them in series that didn't really establish their existence. There are hunger demons possessing living things, but those are essentially just cannibals with some supernatural properties.

One of my larger annoyances with the Dragon Age Inquisition was that they introduced a fair amount of new creatures that occurred fairly frequently and weren't really seen before in games, even in the same environments. For example, several new types of demons that we never saw before were encountered left and right in the Inquisition, and despite rather heavy dealings with demons such as Dao, DaO:A, or DA 2, not once did we meet those types of demons in prior games. How the hell did we never run into giants in Dragon Age and its expansion pack despite introducing them in Ferelden? I don't mind adding new enemies, but if you're going to add new enemies to a new game, I prefer solid justification as to why we never saw or heard about that type of enemy. Reasons for absence could be "This specific type of enemy occurs within specific regions, such as local fauna" or "this type of enemy is very rare (in such a case, don't throw such an enemy left and right at me)." Same with horses that they introduced to Ferelden 10 years after the first game, despite the fact that it's stated that your party doesn't use them and that using horses would be a massive boon during the first game (faster travel in time of blight), leading to the question of why the warden and his party didn't use horses.

Feeding on the living is hardly exclusive to vampires in the undead category of creatures. For example, you mentioned ghouls, but also zombies (although they're a variety of familiar types of creatures, so it may not be much of a relevant distinction outside of specific settings) tend to live in fiction. If we are talking about draining life and/or mana, that's not an exclusive ability of vampires in the undead category either. For example, ghosts (of various types) not infrequently possess the ability to drain mana or life with their presence or special ability in fantasy settings. For example, as early as the Quest for Glory series, there were wraiths that, if you merely happened to be in their presence, your health would start to drain (at least without proper protection). Wraiths from Pathfinder and D&D are the second example (albeit not the only type of undead in those settings that can drain life); screamers from Fable are the third one. Ghosts from The Elder Scrolls Arena are a magic-draining variety.

Yes!
