Vampire Lord achievement

[failsafe]

Hi guys. By accident I got infested by a vampire... not really a STD, rather BTD (B for battle). Anyway, I thought about removing this not so cool feature, but then I realised that we have some sort of achievement with vampirism. Vampire Lord or whatever.

Is it difficult to cover this achievement? To be honest, I consider playing as a vampire only to complete this quest / set of quests and bye-bye. But the question is whether one can get this achievement after doing only this as a single adventure - so without doing other stuff ect. So that I could get rid of this asap.

The vampire disease you get from vampires does not grant you Vampire Lord powers. For that you need to play the Dawnguard questline and side with the vampires when offered to do so.

okay, I understand. Lets say that being a vampire is a kind of argument to do this questline. But what puzzles me is whether doing these quests could harm my opinion, I mean would I be considered as the evil person ect?

Depends on what you mean by evil, most of harkon's court are jerks but you do end
up killing a lot of thin blooded vampires for them, because they were not careful about feeding.
so nomatter which side you choose you get to kill vampires also spoiler
You Kill Harkon for being a jerk

Most quest revolve around obtaining vampire artifacts (rings amulets that you can then use),
Obtaining ancient vampire body parts, killing thin blooded vampires, and taking out the
dawnguard.
The only really evil quest is to kill someone notable in dawnguard regalia to discredit them.

You can also become a Vampire Lord after completing the quest-line on the Dawnguard side if you're concerned about morality. You could also just become a VL, max it out then reload.

There is also that method but, you lose out on the vampire artifacts, in exchange for crossbows, huskies in exchange for death hounds, and get armored trolls.

okay, so I understand that being VL is not a separate quest, but it is a matter of choice within certain quest?

Hmm... so maybe it does make sense to reload game after completing VL achievement.

By the way - if I become vampire again how to cure it easily? I remember that there was a long quest to cure vampirism in Oblivion, gathering stuff ect, is it similar in Skyrim?

Not long at all, just have a filled black soul gem on hand to give to a mage in morthal.

You can also regain your vampirism from Serana if you did not convince her to cure herself.

It is an ancient Reachmen ritual that a mage learned.

The mage is Falion.

I would suggest you complete the Dawnguard questline on the Dawnguard side, then ask Serana to make you a vampire. You can then obtain the Vampire Lord achievements and get yourself cured. No harm done this way.

Hi. I created a separate character to become a werewolf and ended up killing something like 135 NPCs to get the werewolf achievement.

Will I have to do something similar (that is, kill hundreds of NPCs) to get the vampire lord achievement? And should I create a new character, or can I use my level 58 character that's done just about everything else?

You need to kill 156 people, and unlike werewolf there is no perk that allows the feeding off animals. Specifically you need to use the Drain Life spell or the power attack bite while in Vampire Lord.

While you can use your level 58 I would not recommend it. Due to poor scaling like with werewolf the higher level you become the weaker the transformation is. Doing it at a lower level will be far easier.
