Question
Before I decide whether or not I wish to become a vampire, I'd like to know what I have to deal with.
Will I have to stay out of the sun? Will having garlic in my inventory hurt me? I'd also like to know all the benefits I have.
Also, will certain races behave differently as a vampire? I know kahjiit can see very well at night, so that'd be a bonus if I have to stay out of the sun.
Answer
Unfortunately (or fortunately), you don't sparkle, and Anna Paquin isn't instantly attracted to you. There are other perks and drawbacks that might offset that, though:
Benefits
- Immunity to disease, and any disease you contracted will be cured
- Immunity to poison, and any poison you contracted will be removed
- 25% boost to Illusion spells cast
- 25% boost to stealth
- 25% boost to frost resistance per stage of vampirism (to a max of 100% at stage 4)
- Special, vampire-only powers
Drawbacks
- Your face transforms into something only a mother could love; NPCs will comment about it, too
- NPCs will attack you on sight once you hit stage 4
- No magicka, stamina, or health regeneration during the day
- 15 point reduction to magicka, stamina, and health during the day per stage of vampirism (to a max of 60 at stage 4)
- Weakness to fire increases by 25% per stage of vampirism (to a max of 100% at stage 4)
- Cannot become a werewolf, and lycanthropy will cure vampirism
- Must feed periodically to maintain lower-levels of vampirism, which is a real hassle and is considered a crime
