Vampirism, still annoying as ♥♥♥♥.

[Wolfbible]

Staying true to the original, Bethesda has chose to keep Vampirism as a mechanic that's not fun and offers zero benefit that can't be gained from items elsewhere. They've also chose to keep the extremely RNG based quest around getting rid of it. Cmon, what the actual ♥♥♥♥ are we doing here?

They say that syndicates of wizards have led a boycott of Imperial goods in the land of the Altmer.

The cure is just a fast travel away.

I disagree with you that it's not fun to play. I expect there are people who don't like it, I'm not one of them. I don't play it often, but when I do I have a blast.

Curing vampirism is RNG? I usually just did Dark Brotherhood quests until the subject was brought up by the vampire you meet there. Pretty simple way of getting rid of it.

Always strongly preferred Morrowind and Oblivion vamps. They /really/ want you to know it's a curse and most people are unlikely to survive the lifestyle it forces on them. Some vampires -the truly powerful- believe it's a gift, and it can be. If you can acquiesce to the strict curfew, know when to go from 0 - 100 vampire mode, it's very much a significant buff. But if you hate it, the (standard) cure is locked behind one of the most difficult quests in the game, a cure only known by the Glenmoril Witches and Molag Bal himself. If it were so easily obtainable that would be the option over death.

Pretty good storytelling with gameplay, honestly. They ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up and turned it into a power fantasy in Skyrim.

I can't remember how I did it but you could survive daylight in Morrowind with enough pots. I think stacking resist and buffing health with some items providing constant restore at a higher rate than the sun damage.

I believe it, alchemy was nuts in TES:III

When I discovered how you could permanently add to a merchants inventory I was hooked. The only thing I was never able to find a constant supply of was moon sugar.

But then they added paid DLC that just removed vampirism instantly with next to 0 effort

Which is baffling since that sanctuary had some things going for vampire/evil players.

Skyrim turning the sun in to a"barely an inconvenience" was so dumb.

Hard Agree. But what they did to my boy magic was tragic. I did have a lot of fun with a dual mace build, but it was insanely OP. I was dropping dragons in seconds by level 35. Stealth archer was meh.

Have you SEEN all the rats around here? Its making me CRAZY! First this guy decides he's gonna make a million, opens a fancy restaurant: Rats in a Cream Sauce, Rat Flambe, Rat Necrom with Bonemeal Gravy, Deep-Fried Rat, Lemon Rat and Wild Rice, Rat Ragu with Powdered Deer Penis! Of course, when the guards found out, they ran his sorry butt out of town, but they left the rats. RATS!!!

Vampirism mechanics are broken. It's not that it isn't fun, it's just... not working as intended. At all.
