I prefer it as regeneration takes a lot of the challenge out of the game, wandering the tundra of Skyrim with little to no health during the day as a Vampire is a fantastic and stressful thing, it makes the game a challange. I would rather people didn't remove that aspect, and especially didn't make it tedious. My thing for a Vampire:

During the day:

-No regeneration of health or magicka and stamina will be 50% slower for fully blood-starved Vampires. Just slow regeneration of all stats for regular Vampires.

-Hiding in a shadow will make health and magicka start to regenerate and you are much harder to find if in said shadows.

-Less health, stamina and magicka. The loss depends on stage of Vampirism.

-People never realise you are a Vampire and attack you, even for Blood-Starved.

-May use the power "Shadow Cloak" once a day for 180 seconds, will make Vampire immune to the sun.

During the night:

-Faster regeneration by 20%, increases by 5% for each stage.

-Plus 10 to health, magicka and stamina, increases by 5 for each stage.

-Much better sneak, muffled movements and Illusion, Necromancy and Vampiric Destruction is more powerful.

-All Vampire powers are better.

-May be attacked by patrolling Vampire Hunters. Regular civilians still don't know what you are though.

Other then that you get the same powers from Skyrim and are still unlocked by being blood-starved except Vampiric Drain is far more powerful for the blood-starved.
