Are vampires stronger using silver weapons ?

[Generalissimo Cyborgdog]

im a vampire and my silver greatsword says i do 57 dmg and my skyforge greatsword does 43 dmg, +14 more than skyforge, but when testing dmg on Lydia apperantly my silver still a little bit weaker than my skyforge like it used to be before i turned into a vampire, so is it a minor glitch or are vampire really stronger when using silver ?

I believe the Silverhand are a group of Vampires that hunt Werewolves, and there might be a bonus attached to Vampires that wield Silver weapons because of it. Just a thought...

They do hunt Werewolves, but I don't think they're Vampires?

The Silver Hand are not vampires, no. Could be your two-handed skill is higher than hers, OP.

2/3 of all Silverhand have Vampire dust on their corpse, so I just figured.

Because it's an ingredient in Cure Disease potions, that's why. I can see why you thought so, though.

Well, my point was that being Silver weapons, you are granted additional bonuses against Werethings, Vampires, and Undead things. Perhaps being a Vampire while weilding the swords mistakenly gives additional bonuses or mishandles how the bonus is applied to the strike.

Apparently, it is a unique enchantment and the unofficial patches attempt to modify the behaviour. Are you using them?

Also, Fairo had a good point about differnt skill levels.

i do have the unofficial patches
