One of the things people were excited to dive into with Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was becoming a vampire. There have been tales about how strong it is to be a vampire in Oblivion.
After many younger Elder Scrolls fans played through Skyrim as a vampire, where things are generally easier. People were itching to get bitten in Oblivion Remastered.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Surpasses 4 Million Players
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has become a resounding success, attracting almost 5 million players in under a week—and the numbers keep rising.
However, let’s hold the phone here for a second, because I remember how annoying it was to be a vampire inOblivion. It’s not all fun and games, and I frantically searched for how to cure my vampirism as soon as possible so I could enjoy the rest of the game.
According to a thread on the Oblivion Remastersubreddit, others are experiencing that same pain I did nearly two decades ago.
Elder Scrolls Fans Are Learning How Rough It Is Being A Vampire In Oblivion
“What a horribly annoying waste of time,” the original poster says. “If you’re on the fence about it, let me tell you, the responsibility of managing vampirism is like a new born baby you never wanted. Do not.”
Others chimed in, saying, “Yes? Vampirism is a disease, not a cheat code.” They’re 100% correct. Becoming a vampire can benefit you, but the downsides generally outweigh the upsides unless you’re properly prepared,like this personwas back in the day:
I used to love it back when I played the original. This time, I’ve not dabbled too much, but my old character used to carry a stash of potions called “sunscreen” that regenerated as fast or faster (can’t remember) than the sun would damage me. And then I’d just pop a bunch of skooma and book it to where ever I wanted to go. They say nothings crazier than a cat on skooma, but I disagree. A blood starved vampire on skooma running at break neck speeds while smoldering in the midday sun tops it by far.

In this Oblivion Remastered guide, we take a closer look at optimizing the classic Stealth Archer build for maximum early-game effectiveness.
The biggest difference between being a vampire in Skyrim versus Oblivion is how sunlight damages you. In Skyrim, sunlight will give you debuffs and weaken you, but you may persevere.
That’s not the case in Oblivion; you’ll flat-out die. So yeah, big difference. Make sure you know how to cure yourself ASAP.
Again, I remember doing everything I could back in the day to cure myself. It quite simply wasn’t worth it, and it appears that a new wave of Elder Scrolls players are learning the game.
