Everyone has it! Everyone! Everyone but me! Gnyaaaarrrggghh!

As a Vampire, you have a particular taste for human blood. Your abilities as a Vampire are directly tied to feeding on other characters; in short, for every day you go without feeding, vampirism takes a greater hold on you and turns you into even more of a monster. This means that the benefits you receive from being a Vampire become stronger, but so do the drawbacks. If oyu reach the end of the cycle without feeding, you're prevented from interacting with most other characters in the world.

.......

Feeding has a direct effect on how much power you have as a Vampire. Below, the various bonuses and weaknesses granted by vampirism are discussed, as are the effects of feeding.

THE GOOD NEWS

At its basic level, vampirism gives you bonuses to several attributes(+5 to Strength, Willpower, and Speed) and skills (+5 to Acrobatics, Athletics, Destruction, Hand-to-Hand, Illusion, Mysticism, and Sneak). You're also granted a resistance to disease and paralysis, and a small resistance to normal weapons. All of these factors combine to make your character a bit tougher than normal.

For every day you go without feeding, your boosted skills and attributes increase by an additional 5. Your resistance to normal weapons increases as well.

THE BAD NEWS

These bonuses come with a price. At the start, you'll only have a weakness to fire. Each day without feeding increases this weakness, and other drawbacks are introduced.

If you've fed within the last 24 hours, you're safe from the sun. Any longer than that, however, and you'll start burning whenever you are exposed to sunlight. Each day that passes without feeding increases the amount of damage the sun does; cloudy or rainy weather will help some, but you're in danger any time you set foot outside.

The worst part of not feeding comes after a full four days without blood. You may notice that for every day you don't feed, your appearance changes. Your face becomes gaunt and pale, your teeth start to look like fangs, and your eyes turn bright red. Well, you're not the only one who will notice these changes. If it's been long enough since your last feeding, everyone else will recognize you for what you are. Most characters in the game will simply refuse to interact with you, turning you away every time you talk to them. This can make playing the game difficult, as it prevents you from buying and selling, and sometimes prevents you from getting new quests.

VAMPIRE POWERS

For every day you spend as a Vampire without feeding, you are granted a new power. While they may not directly help in combat, each power has a specific use and can be very beneficial.

Hunter's Sight
The first power you receive as a Vampire, Hunter's Sight, grants you 30 seconds of Night-Eye[which is like wearing night vision goggles, but blue] and 30 seconds of Detect Life over a large area. Useful for carefully exploring dungeons, this power can be used repeatedly for a small Magicka cost.

Vampire's Seduction
The second power received gives you a high-magnitude Charm spell for 20 seconds. While it may not immediately seem useful, this spell has one very important function. Raising a character's Disposition to 100 will allow you to talk to him or her no matter how long you've been a Vampire. This spell helps you bypass the restriction placed on you for being a full Vampire.

Reign of Terror
Three days as a Vampire gives you the ability to silence and demoralize opponents around you. Particularly useful against fire-wielding opponents, this can be quite an advantage in combat.

Embrace of the Shadows
A full three minutes of invisibility along with 90 seconds of Night-Eye provides more than enough time to escape any combat situation. Use this one when you're in over your head and need to make a quick getaway.

I just became a vampire myself. How do we get rid of it.

Uber, yea it was an accident, I went into a cave outside Cheydinhal and well... it was crawling with vampires. And I have contracted the disease before I even noticed the tombs and realized these bandits had creepy red eyes.

I want to play a bad character, but the game makes it almost impossible to kill anyone who gives storyline quests. What if you sell the amulate? Can you kill all of the important people then, and take a path of evil?

How come? It's just software. It'll be cheaper than New Egg because he works there.

From what I remember in Morrowind, you could kill a required quest character, but you'd get a warning saying that you just killed a crucial individual and offer you a choice of reloading or continuing in the 'doomed world you have created' - or something to that effect.

Where the bloody heck is Ongar the fence?

Not here. Most of the time, the game will make the character "unconcious". It sucks, because you can't really be "bad"

I've already beaten the main quest, and I've been playing all the side-quests I can find. I LOVE this game.

kill him and see if it's on his body.

Delayed response, but he's in Bruma. His house is in the sothwest part of town.

The easiest way to get into the brotherhood without killing someone easy is to do the gray princes mission.

When you fight him at the end of the arena, he's too depressed to do anything so you can whallop on him untill he dies. I'm just about ready to buy the house on the waterfront, so I can have a place to leave some of this crap behind.

Also, hit up the arena box, theres 500 gold in there. Also, you can get over 300 from stealing out of the imperial armory near the jail.

If you guys find any houses with some sweet gear post it.
