Skyrim’s Vampires and Werewolves
For the second time in Skyrim, I caught Sanguinare Vampiris.. the disease that leads to Vampirism. In Oblivion, the disease was called Porphyric Hemophilia; either disease can be cured by the Cure Disease spell, a potion, or by visiting an altar, and both lead to full-blown Vampirism if left uncured for three days.
I caught the disease early on in my game, but didn’t want the hassle of remembering to feed regularly, or the risk that NPCs might refuse to talk to me.. I wanted to explore the game without too many restrictions.
However, this time, I’d had many hours of exploration, and decided to risk a few annoyed NPCs. Three days later, I had Vampirism, an increased resistance to Frost, and weakness to fire and sunlight.. this last not being quite as I’d expected. I also had three new powers: Vampire’s Servant, Vampire’s Sight, and Vampiric Drain. I only really liked Vampire’s Sight due to my level.. neither raised minions nor a few points health drain could compare with my lovely enchanted swords 😉
