Why do vampires eyes glow?

[Magic Spazm]

Is it Molag Bal goo that just stuck there?

[fauxpas]

Ewwww!

But yes.

Predator eyes evolved for good night vision. They glow like cat's or wolf eyes.

Just to make them look scarrier.

Exactly , night vision , i personally love the glowing eyes

Do all vampires in game and have red and yellow eyes? I always assumed they were all red, but lately I've been seeing a few vamps with yellow eyes. Is this from a mod or from the vanilla (i've never noticed before).

I think it depends on the race , like i notice nords kinda have red eyes and elves have yellow , but that's maybe me . Also the females have darker yellow eyes than the males

No! Cat's and Wolf's eyes glow when they reflect light back in the direction it came from, Vampire eyes glow from every angle.

Not sure what the lore answer is, but the non-lore answer is because that's what people expect when playing a game with Vampires in them.

[Mr. Mannperson]

absolutely.

Cat's eye refect light, they are that good that they even reflect moonlight, But Vampires are said to have a demon in them and that would explain the lit up eyes..

That's just because we don't have magical fps destroying ray tracing! If we had magical fps destroying ray tracing then the light could reflect off the vampire eyes!

I think I saw a tech demo for a new graphics card that had better than average ray tracing.
