Talk:Vampirism

I'm not sure about the ability to go incognito, but i'm pretty sure from two ingame references. First of all, I found a book in the bookstore in the market district of the imperial city with a story about vampires, and it mentioned that Cyrodiil vampires appear to be normal humans UNLESS they do not feed for several days. Another thing is there is a quest in Bruma involving an investigation to the murder of a man by a dunmer claiming to be a vampire hunter. The corpse appears normal, and the wife never noticed any vampiric symptoms, yet there is still an investigation.. This is probably directly related to the fact that vampires cannot be revealed unless starved or exposed to sunlight. I'm not 100% positive, so someone becoming infected and confirming this'd be nice. Jackal912 09:29, 23 March 2006 (CST)

I also need the real name of the Grey Prince(Orcish names are so hard to remember), the name of the fort ruins which you go to for the Grey Prince, the name of the vampire lord IN the fort ruins (Lord somethingorather), the name of the quest supplied by the Grey Prince (Something like "Origin of the Grey Prince" or something), and if there are any quests related to the Pale Lady.

According to the Prima guide, which a friend of mine has, so long as you are fully 'fed', you can go for an entire day without worrying about sunlight damage or people recognizing you. For each day after that, it will be based off one's "reputation" with each individual. Only the most 'friendly' will even consider interacting with you when you are in 'complete' vampire mode (which takes something like 3 - 5 days, I believe 5, for you to acquire). Feeding at any point during this time will 'reset' your character to the normal 0-day mark. Since each day gives you +5 to certain stats, as well as certain Vampiric powers, there is a sort of 'balancing act' between being able to interact with a majority of PC's and being completely maxxed out for combat purposes. I don't recall whether or not there was a way to become truly normal (ie: non-Vampire) again afterward, but I think it is highly unlikely. This is why I'm in no major rush to get my Tank-Mage infected any time soon. --Tyrmadris 05:07, 25 March 2006 (CST)

When contracting the disease there is a quest to find a cure. I obtained the quest by talking to a priest in Leyawin City. I accidentally contracted it and didn't notice because of the 3 day delay. I'll let you know what find out about the cure Vhockey86 06:54, 25 March 2006 (CST)

Feeding doesn't kill anyone and it's pretty easy to keep up with which basically means you can play through the game as a vampire with free +5 boosts to stats and skills all the time with no real down side. plus, whenever you need a boost, you can just wait a few days until you're stronger. so far i've been playing as a vampire ever since i ran into the pale lady and i haven't regretted it at all. occasionally, for no apparent reason, people will notice that i'm feeding on them even though i'm sneaking at level 105 which can be somewhat problem matic but, for the most part, all you need to do is to find a begger who is sleeping and feed. 17:22, 27 March 2006 (CST)
