I can't let you do that Colin. I can't let you post a screenshot directly from your C:drive.

 Nah all you have to do is go to imgur, hit upload from computer, pick that image, then just put the url in image tags here.

All vampires are like that - with a long enough worldgen, they'll have over 10,000 kills. 

Vampires basically never get killed in worldgen.  They are forced to flee for some reason, but will never get killed, and can eventually just openly rule a nation as a tyrant. 

My game is glutted with quests to kill similar vampires, all with at least 2000 kills.

yeah, it's a bit of a surprise at first, but really vampires you get sent to kill are easy. They have tons of kills due to sucking people dry, which gets them no actual combat training. Some of those kills might have been in combat, so they might have some fighting capabilities, but most of the time, nope. Just cut them up. And be careful in case they have tons of cultist friends.

Also, you have to remember, vampires don't get their kills by fighting. So it's very possible he's a wuss who has only killed sleeping people.

So far all the vamps I have come across are total wusses in that during the fight the panicking peasants usually kill them in a few punches.  Still haven't found a warrior one yet so the fun can begin.  Other than that most of the werebeasts I've encountered were quite interesting.

I was sent to kill a non-tyrant vamp that was a law-giver. I accused him of a night creature, he submitted. The first frame after we exited the speech screen was him getting headshotted by a crossbowman on the other corner of the room.

That dude probably had his suspicions, and was waiting patiently in the corner, his crossbow aimed at his lord's head, waiting for him to admit to his crimes.

That sounds similar to an experience I had.

In my current world, a goblin group called "Young Horrors" has a bronze demon general that has over 5000 kills. I checked Legends, he depopulated whole cities.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

clown lords tend to get a lot of kills.  most civs go to war with gobbos at the drop of a hat.  often, said clown lord will take to the field of battle alone, and wipe out the attackers.

it is really sad when you have such a clown lord get over 8k kills or so, only to be murdered by a normal gobbo.  said gobbo tends to get killed the next attack anyone else sends, and then the goblin civ dies.

It always seems like the villagers just want you to break the ice since in most cases all the vampires that I have seen are sitting in houses and the second I tell him/her that everyone knows he/she is a night creature the townsfolk kill him/her.
