    I've been adopted by Vampire in RL. But many won't believe me. Plus I'm into Magick(a) in RL. This why I choose being Vampire and more interested in being one(in game).

    For the improved sneaky ability.

    If I could have gotten that in my "class" skills then there would be no reason for me to play a Vampire since all I really do with that toon is pickpocket and assassinate quests.

    I remake the same character in every ES game I play. He's always been a vampire so I just kept that going. I didn't really give a single care to the abilities or downsides.

    I personally rather enjoy killing vampires in quests, they act all high and mighty to me all the time, like they think them selves superior me a child of Lamae bal the 1st vampire how dare they look down on me, they deserve to die a thousand deaths!!! @Knootewoot

    Good, good. Your hate has made you powerfull. (I can't upload Palpatine gif on mobile for some reason)

    Some vamps are nice though. But yeah, there should be a Lamae Bal questline where we can kill vamps.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Because Magicka builds have s**t for sustain. Honestly, I'm not sure the 10% makes a big difference.

    In the beginning, I wanted to do it because I thought it sounded cool, and at the time (first few weeks after launch), being a Vamp/WW was quite profitable.

    At this point, it is purely a min/max decision. The pros far outweigh the cons for virtually any build/playstyle. Morrowind sustain changes took it from optional to mandatory for end game PVE IMO.

    How vampires have powerfull regen passive? %10 thats it? Folks ignore bosmer %21 regen here but when it comes to vamp %10 OP? I dont understand. Considering %15-25 fire damage and Fighter's Guild abilities only thing thats worth looks like Sneak passive.

    It couples well with refreshing shadows for a 25% regen

    Non-purposed. I was skyshard searching with my crafting character about a year ago and when I was done I was looking at my attribute screen and noticed I had vampirism. I knew nothing about it so I figured out where to go for the quest line and decided to do it for no reason other than to see what it does. Ever since then I have kept the skill line just to give it to other people who are wanting to become a vampire.

    Mist form is as essential to a magicka user(that doesn't stack damage shields) as rally is to a stamina user... Just a necessary evil(ha literally, because you're a vampire).

    I like the thoroughness of your poll but you are missing one angle: multi-character choices!

    I replied in what I felt was the spirit of the poll and chose "I just wanted to be vampire" because my main has always been a vampire and I wanted to be one as soon as I knew you could, in ESO. I enjoy being one and am really happy that the trade-offs haven't ever become so negative that I'd have to consider curing myself to be competitive in trials or something like that.

    That said, I did have other characters later where I made them be vampires to maximize my build.
    My #1 wish for ESO Today: Decouple achievements from character progress and tracking.

    10% is insane. That's the equivalent of 43 CP or the entire racial regen passive for Altmer/Breton//Dunmer.

    10% is around 2-3k extra magicka/stamina every minute. That's a lot.

    I have one minor alt that I made specifically fo go vampire, back in the day. Just to see what all the fuss was about. ;) Well, and snatch up the dyes. Still have her around, lurking in allwyways, pretending to be a poor lil innocent breton waif, and waiting for some fools to go after her into that spot in the alley where passing guards won't see what happens... ;)

    My MDK is one because it's pretty much the only option for proper PvP mobility for him. Desert Rose greatly helps to offset the mana regen penalty.

    For my Mageblade it's more of an aesthetic choice. Don't feel like I need it, but the outfit that I made for that character fits the visuals of NB skills and the pale-skin, red-eye appearance perfectly.

    Holding out on my Mageplar, since I have a reliable snare-removal mechanic, and Psijic skills look like they could plug the mobility hole, at least partly.

    Will probably have another vampire at some point, possibly my Stamwarden, or Stamsorc, for the passives.

    Just one of those gothic weirdos irl.

    Been a vampire in any game that allowed it which is surprising very few games. Frustrated that there was no player to player neck action and vamp was only treated as a class in prev games. Skyrim let players act more vampy. Gore factors have always been given to sci fi games. Seldom to fantasy rp. Like if it's got unicorns in it we have to be afraid of ratings so we don't offend the kiddies. Green blood for all my tribe! Ick.

    I'm seriously excited for the game Vampyr coming out. On sale $45 (United States) thru Steam. Unfortunately I'm out of spending cash atm.

    My first vampire because I wanted a vampire. Then vamped my mag dk because regen nerfs. Now considering vamp on my khajiit stamblade main because of heavy attack nerfs.

    Basically because regen nerfs.

    This should be a balance red flag for the devs, but they continue to ignore how unbalanced vampirism is.

    I just can’t stand looking at the filthy things. Pass.
