Another Elder Scrolls update was released in the last few days which confirmed what we really all expected.
In the usual fashion Skyrim game director Todd Howard has confirmed that the Elder Scrolls V will allow players to assume the role of a vampire.
As is common in the previous game of the series players will be able to contact the disease Porphyric Hemophilia (as it’s commonly known in Tamriel). If this is left untreated the player will turn you into a member of the fanged undead. Alternatively you can treat the infection and stay mortal.
As in the other Elder Scrolls games contracting Porphyric Hemophilia will have some drastic changes to how the game is played. For instance, sunlight will actually harm you, but you’ll get a power boost, and eventually you’ll be able to harness your various vampiric tendencies. However, you will be able to feed on people as they sleep silently in there beds. In fact the while experience appears to be much better then the blood pack health boost obtained in Fallout 3 for siding with The Family.
No confirmation on status effects have been confirmed but we hope I hope we can turn into a bat and follow the Frost Dragon home. I predict that my Nord Warrior will be a Vampire by 6am on 11th November!
Will there be a quest to turn you human again like in oblivion? Lets hope there's no glitches in it if there is. The quest in oblivion where you had to go to the witch near Bruma was a joke. You couldn't even get close enough to talk to here let alone get the cure for Porphyric Hemophilia without her shouting "Away foul beast, you shall not spill blood this night", and then continues to hit you with her wooden stick.
