So Why Did You Make Your Characters Vampires

Other:

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).

Aesthier

I wanted the Passives and or skills

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.

SolidusPrime

None of the above/Other

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.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

I wanted the Passives and or skills

Also, to give free bites to my guildies.

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 wanted the Passives and or skills

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

My master crafter is named Selene from the Underworld series so she had to be a Vampire. Her mount is a wolf.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

I wanted the Passives and or skills

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.

Same. That is the one and only reason for me.

I wanted Coffins for my home!

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.

All the above

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.

Elusiin

I wanted the Passives and or skills

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).

MalsvirIxen

I wanted the Passives and or skills

I wanted the power of the undead!

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.

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.

DoctorESO

For the magicka recovery (for end-game DPS)

For the sneak speed (very convenient benefit)

TheShadowScout

Some of the above

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...

Still_Mind

I wanted the Passives and or skills

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 for glowing red eyes.

Why is there no "because I am a roleplayer and RP a vampire" option?

Jemcrystal

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.

Yep the poll says what I thought

I went vamp just for the looks.

All the above

Ravnar Coven you hail from my kin, we may be bound by separate worlds (servers) but you are no less my kin, a child of the beautiful powerful and terrifying Blood Matron mother Lamae bal @bellatrixed I my self hail from Bloodworth coven

Kolzki

I wanted the Passives and or skills

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.

I didn't want to be a vampire but I needed elusive mist and the passives to survive in pvp on my magplar healer.

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.

End-game DPS.

People actually talk as if they ever take off their helms and stare at their toons face all day long....my face is always behind a helm to keep it from getting caved in...it hasnt seen the sunlight in so long I doubt that being a vamp makes any appreciable difference
