Vampirism in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion -- should I be concerned?

DrAstroZoomluxury_boxOPI'm barely into Oblivion (Level 2 going on Level 3), and I've already been infected by vampirism. I'm not at all thrilled, as I have a feeling this could hamper my character. Am I overreacting?

Nah. I found it annoying, because the daylight can kill you. You can get some cool buffs, and you're own lair. I can't for the life of me remember how to cure it, but it can be cured.
anlgpNew MemberI had that once upon a time.
I would've kept going with it but I sold the xbox. :lol:
I'd say keep playing with the vamp.
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl
Mindwarpforum_veteranI forgot how to cure it also..
damn.. .now I want to play Oblivian..
I ended up as leader of the assassins.
BuckeyeKingNew MemberI believe you become a Vampire if you sleep a full 24 hours.
anlgpNew MemberI think I fought some and that's how I became one?

Ultraforum_veteranI think there is a potion you can take to cure it. If you become a vampire you have to go on a long quest to find a bunch of herbs to cure it.
mor911forum_veteranCuring vamparism is a pain in the ass. Once you do you're immune. The Vamp buffs are nowhere near the annoyance of dying in daylight. I'd cure it.

DrAstroZoomluxury_boxI'm thinking I may keep that slot saved but generate a new character.
MonstBlitzforum_veteranVampirism is not a big deal at all. I have "started" the quest to cure it, but don't really care to. As long as you feed once in awhile, daylight doesn't hurt you at all. Feeding is really easy and there are lots of places you can do it without being caught.
muscle979forum_veteranJust be aware of the time of day and remember that the longer you go without feeding the uglier and more powerful you become.

More powerful? Really?

Ultraforum_veteranyes, they made it so if you don't eat people you get uglier and more powerful

DrAstroZoomluxury_boxWell, that makes as much sense as using mustard as motor oil.
anlgpNew MemberTo hijack this thread is there a race you absolutely would not play as? I'm thinking of getting this game for PC

pennphinfanforum_veteranin games like this i usually like to keep options open by picking a middle of the line race, so i tend to avoid the pure soldiers and pure magicians (i suppose thats redguards and the elves?)- can't really go wrong though with whatever you choose
anlgpNew Memberquick should I get the regular edition or the GOTY edition? does it matter?
edit:
bought GOTY edition.
gotta wait til jan 26th to feb 2 :(

You made the right call: GOTY has all the expansions included.

yup i went that route and was very happy i did so. oblivion has given me 80+ hours of gameplay and i haven't even beaten it yet. such an expansive game.. :up:
DubfireNew MemberFunny thing - I been seriously hooked on Fallout lately and thats made me want to give Oblivion another run.
Boy can Bethesda make a game.:up:
texanphinaticforum_veteranHeh Oblivion. Fun game to be sure, and easy to exploit if your into that kind of thing. I made myself an uberstealthy person and went around stealing pretty much every item from every house in the game.
The wife played the game by getting a super stealth spell as well and everytime she ran into enemies shed kill one then vanish until they all drifted apart, reappear and kill one, dissapear etc. Was pretty exploitative but also quite fun and funny to watch. One of the nice things about the game is there are tons of ways to play it.
There are also tons of guides, helps and walkthroughs for just about every facet of the game if you get stuck or run into any big problems or just want to figure out something to do, like what to do with vampirism.
