I’ve been trying to get a vampire bite for a bit on a new character but people (multiple attempts) aren’t getting the prompt to bite me for some reason. I’ve tried my alliance’s shrine and one other, and I'm not a werewolf nor have I ever had any other curse on this character. Other people were able to be bitten right next to me and I was able to change characters and bite someone else, too.

Character is level 25 but I had the same problem at level 4, EP Khajiit, freshly emptied build via armory.

    By “other people were able to be bitten right next to me”, are those people able to be bitten by the person whose trying to bite you? For some reason, synergy blocker addons block vampire & werewolf synergies by default. Took me a while to realize that.

    Yes! And huh, I'll have to look at my addons, they did reset with this character for some reason.

    Edit: not seeing any addons on my list that would mess it up, hm...

    Your character isn't by chance currently carrying the vampire disease Sanguine Corruption? Or the lycanthropy disease Sanies Lupinus from a Werewolf scratch?

    ...oh my gods. Sanies Lupinus. I have been playing this game for six years and tried getting WW from an NPC MANY times... but I managed to accidentally get got by one before level 4 somehow on a new toon. I don't even remember seeing a werewolf. Amazing. Thank you ^^'
