So, a little backstory. I went off and started a new character, a necromancer mage type thing. RP wise, I'm trying to create a mysterious eccentric old man who is like master of all arcane arts but likes to reanimate corpses as a pastime. Think Neloth crossed with Esbern. Anyhoo, so far, I've been REALLY enjoying the gameplay mechanic of reanimating bodies. (Some great moments here and there).

So, everywhere I've looked they say warrior/melee fighter's benefit from dawnguard, while mages will benefit from the volkihar clan.

That being said, I can't stand transforming into a vampire. The sunlight impendiment is tiresome, the spells are relatively weak, and the stuff you get ain't all that great from what I can see.

RP-wise, it would make sense a necromancer would want to become a vampire in order to be immortal, but in my other 3 accounts (with both good and evil characters), I always wound up choosing dawnguard.

I dislike the vampire transform mechanic, but at the same time I'm trying to explore all gameplay and quest line options (hence, the need for 4 characters).

My character's still low leveled, so I got some time to think. But I gotta choose soon, and you guys seem the best for these kinda questions.

What would make more sense to YOU? A necromancer who wants to be immortal, or a necromancer that dislikes vampires?
