VAMPIRES

[NightHunter]

so with the new Biotech DLC it sounds like you can make vampires. in one of the pics it looks like it to. am i wrong?

[The Blind One]

Technically not actual vampires ... but beings with similar traits, features and mechanics ...

So yes vampires ...

[Playzr 🐵]

Are they hurt by sunlight? Do they need to drink human blood to live? Do they sleep in coffins? Are they immortal? Does their condition spread to other victims by biting them? Then they are vampires.

What if they aren't hurt by sunlight but sparkle instead and get crushes on underage pubescent girls?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Unknown.

By the sounds of things, when you are bio-engineering, there are negative traits that might be attached to genes with positive traits. Perhaps one of those negatives is some form of sunlight problem.

[Astasia]

The vampire gene preset has the "Intense UV Sensitivity" gene trait. It's 2 complexity and +4 metabolic efficiency.

Isn't every human underage when you're 400 years old?

Still doesn't account for the sparkling though...

If there were proper vampires they would be able to turn into fog or wolves and bats and wouldn't be able to cross running water nor enter someones house without being invited. Etc.

Vampire lore is different wherever you go and in whatever time. For example, to China, a "vampire" would dress like a Qing official and would hop everywhere they went.

you can do just like the movie morbius in this game now

Sure, but then you can also go with stuff like sparkly vampires and in the end you can call ANYTHING a vampire and the name "vampire" loses all meaning.
