Throughout the series we have fought many vampires. However, we've seen two versions of vampires: the human looking ones that we are most familiar with and the bat-beast looking ones found in LoS. Of these two versions, which to you like the most? I personally prefer the human looking ones. It's probably because they can blend in with humans where as the other type sticks out like a sore thumb.
-
Where's the option for both. Like human looking ones that can transform into beasts. That's my favorite
-
I've always preferred the bat-creature-like ones. They generally hide in their humanlike disguises. That wasn't new to LoS though. That's been there since CV64. In fact, I thought of the LoS vampires as sort of a reference to that. It's the most powerful ones that can hide their true forms. Besides, that's what Dracula technically is in most games.
-
I like both as long as they don't walk around in broad daylight without burning to death.
-
But that only dates back to Nosferatu, really. Dracula evenw andered around in the daylight without any problems.
-
I see Dracula as a special execption, he can walk in broad daylight but his powers are limited.
The way I see it, sunlight to any vampire (that isn't Dracula) should be fatal.
-

The original Dracula could walk into sunlight only losing its supernatural powers am I wrong?
-
Sort of. He certainly had less power, but he was still an immortal undead monstrosity.
-
As long as they're not gay-Twilight-stuff, it's okay.
I have a little preference for human-looking vampires, who can morph into BIG BLACK BEASTS, ROAR!
-
I prefer the ones that look human, but have the ability to transform into their second "demon bat" form. Or even demon-esque form(like Olrox). I generally like them to remain in their human form as long as possible, and only transform to tap into that extra power(like Frieza in DBZ). Never transform to prey on humans. It's always a failsafe after their human form is defeated. I didn't care for Brauner and Olrox in LoS, because they were already in bat form(as were the lesser vampire enemies).
Of course, as vampires were concerned, I always loved the idea that they were the nobility of the monster world. That you rarely seen them as normal enemies in the classic timeline(other than the ones in CV64/LoD and the Draculinas in OoE) and most of the time, they are so powerful, they are bosses. It makes them seem "special".
-
i like both and mixed.
-
Personally, I love the Loogaroo.

there is not an option for both
and there is most certainly not an option for sparkling twilight

Because real Vampires don't sparkle. That's just a personal preference by the writer in general. I chose option 1. I've also read somewhere that if a vampire (who is human-looking) is starved on blood for a long time will digress into an ugly, vile and deformed monster. Probably resembling the second option listed here.

I prefer for them to look initially human but transform into a demon/bat form when they unleash their true powers.

Legacy of Kain has a nice interpretation of Vampires. While some of them have human characteristics, many of them evolve (or devolve) into some sort of beastly appearance. Examples are Vorador (http://legacyofkain.wikia.com/wiki/Vorador), Turel (http://legacyofkain.wikia.com/wiki/Turel), and Kain himself (http://legacyofkain.wikia.com/wiki/Kain), who seems to have developed a demonic appearance.
Also, for some reason, all of them have three claws on each arm instead of fingers.

This. I want mah vampires to be able to pass for human but transform into hideous beasts when necessary.
-
The old style Dracula that transforms

Or, basically, of the vampires in the CV series since the beginning. Dracula, Olrox, Carmilla and Elizabeth Bartley all come to mind, as far as the older ones are concerned. That's how I like my vampires. Not to mention, each one's "demon form" tends to differ from each other, showing a sort of individualism. I liken it to the vampires in the original Fright Night(hence my avatar). Jerry Dandridge, turning "vamp form" looks nothing like Evil Ed or Amy. Evil Ed's teeth are totally different(almost given rat-like incisors), and Amy gets the "Mouth of the South". In CV, Vampires tend to transform into different demonic forms. Dracula almost always transforms into a large, hulking horned demon(but in CV3, he tranforms into a form that resembles the Estruscan death god Charun). Olrox transform into a giant, reptillian monster. Carmilla transforms into a giant woman(or demon winged woman, as in CotM) riding a giant skull(in LoS, she transforms into a bat-like she-demon). Elizabeth Bartley transforms into a Medusa. I always loved that about the CV vampires.

The pig orcs in LoS were dreadful. I'd much prefer human-looking ones that may have the ability to transform into something demonic (a la Dracula, Olrox and Carmilla) if they're powerful enough. And no, not transform into pig orcs, but something more akin to what the aforementioned three transform into.

Also something I like. I see people sometimes complaining about the lack of vampires, but I'm fine with it for this reason.

Thos epig orcs were not human so they had to look like a bat. Carmilla was kickass and his 2nd form very cool, shame we didn't get to see Laura's 2nd form :(

I always like to think that Alucards randomly occuring "gargoyle" stoned pose is what his monster form would look like.
-
I think Alucard's demon form is what he looks like in Captain N.

I don't think I would've liked Olrox or Brauner if they were even just regular demons. As for vampires, I'd like them to be pretty human unless they're really strong. I mean, they're basically undead humans anyway. I'm more intrigued by these intelligent once-living serial murders who are dead humans anyway than uh, monsters. Monsters are just so much more brute in appearance than the type of deceptive air I'd like a vampire to have.
