How do you curb the Sun Damage for being a Vampire ?

[Queen of Thorns]

Kinda sucks that I am always healing and taking damage In Daylight :c

That's the neat thing. You don't.

lol

You thought being a vampire would be cool, learned the hard way it's not. If only ESO also adopted the sunlight damage, wonder how many would be vampire then?

[Queen of Thorns]

I've always found a way to curb it in Skyrim, I really wanna figure a way out to play as a Vampire without it being too much of a headache

[Queen of Thorns]

Otherwise I guess It's always gonna be Night time for me

You have to feed constantly.

Vampire Levels in Oblivion basically allow you to avoid most of the detrimental effects of Vampirism (and you also loose a lot of the buffs if you do this too) by feeding regularly and avoiding fast travel when in stage 3-4 vampirism (when the sun will hurt you).

On the bright side, Morrowind's Vampirism was worse. You'd get actively shunned or attacked in cities just for being one, and there was no curbing sun damage there.

If you're coming from Skyrim, remember how you'd go through "Stages" every day you didn't feed? Oblivion has a similar system and the most detrimental effects like Sun Damage are in Stage 3 and 4 if I remember right. So just keep feeding to stay at stage 1, though this will also prevent you from getting any skill or attribute buffs they get.

Honestly? You add a mod to remove it, because it doesn't really add challenge as much as become a massive time waster on your part. You're going to wait for nightfall to do quests and travel anyway where possible.

Oblivion's Vampirism is in an odd place. You feed to become weaker and have less negative effects of Vampirism. When you're at Stage 4, you are semi-shunned and some NPCs will refuse to talk with you, unless you reduce your vampirism or use your once a day charm spell.

There are none yet that curb that sadly :c

I've only played Morrowind way back when I was a kid and all I did is steal brooms from shops and run away from the guards because I was too young to understand how the game worked.
Oblivion I've only played it till the first Oblivion Gate after Skyrim so not much experience at all.
But Skyrim I played the ♥♥♥♥ out of it and still am playing it since release and I always choose Vampirism

[Queen of Thorns]

Figured it out, I just need to actively feed on my Castle Residents in Castle Battlehorn

You don't. Unless you're a loser who uses cheat mods.

The game is completely playable without modding it out however. You aren't locked out of anything, just have to wait indoors for the sun to go down.

[Mansen]

It's a singleplayer game. You're not cheating anyone by disabling a feature that is ultimately something you're not going to interact with anyway, and just stay indoors and sit and wait for time to pass.

You drink blood regularly so you stay at stage 1 (no sun damage).

If you want to utilize the abilities of a more blood starved vampire you have to deal with the sun damage (aka preferably not being outside in day time, if you are do so during cloudy days or stay underwater, both reduce the sun damage a bit. But if you are completely blood starved you take to much damage regardless).
