    I'd rather have it when I reach stage 4 Vampirism that apon entering a town or village the guards shout "Burn the vampire!" and attack me on site (hopefully this would be introduced with the Justice System).

    I get why some people want to be kos to guards in vamp 4, but I don't want to feed, I don't ever feed. and I don't want to have to run away from town every 30 minutes to do it so I don't get murdered by the local militia.

    If I want to be attacked in the places I bank and such, I will murder civilians when the justice system comes out and pick the pockets of guards (those are the best pockets to pick, even if they don't usually have anything worthwhile in them)

    Also if this isn't in game it needs to be a new emote (I tried to find a picture but was disappointed)

    Since fingers used to be removed for theft, thieves would sometimes shake their index and middle finger at cops to mock them, "You haven't caught me yet" and what not.

    Your looks should correspond with your stage - you shouldn't be able to hide it.

    However, it would be nice if the stages were a bit longer.

    I chose a Khajiit to vampire since they seemed to be the least-ugly of the lot at the higher stages. I've seen worse but it still bothers me. She gets walleyed and her face veins still bug out. How about we make stage 1 vampirism appearance and that's it? I don't want her eyes going in different directions and I hate wearing a helm because they look stupid. :(

    Costume / Item - "Vampires guile" [name subject to change]

    This item is only usable by vampires, upon use, said item hides the appearance of vampirism through clever use of magicka, specifically of the illusion school equation, so that vampires may better blend into society, walk among the living and even in some cases, lead normal lives.

    In some rare circumstances, this may lead to role-play with vampires where the vampires are not immediately acknowledged as the undead, as opposed to currently where they are acknowledged as vampires from over 100 view distance range.

    OMG this may be the best idea EVER!

Those players have already figured out a way to almost completely nullify the weakness to fire...and now some want to get rid of the cosmetic drawbacks?

    No. I don't care what reasons or logic you come up with...it's still no. Matter of fact, there needs to be more drawbacks to being a monster.

    Even in the instances where a player has managed to max their fire mitigation, they must do so at the expense of other perks. So JUST for the ability NOT to burst into flames as if they continually doused themselves with gasoline they have to forego MANY other benefits they could be using that other players take for granted. So stop yer whinin' because you clearly haven't thought this through.

    Thinking of it , Templar vampires can get the sparkle effect pretty nicely. :D

    Seriously though. I think the option of not looking crappy should be available. Vamps in TES are usually powerful mages and the surely use a illusion spell or two.I would have liked if they looked a lot scarier and terrifying at stage 4 they just look like wimpy malnourished albinos.

    I would like everyone to attack me at stage 3 and 4 so that being vamoire has real consequences.

    I also would like it if my vampire would still keep the original looks at stage 1.. I mean fully fed vampire should really look like he or she is fully fed and therefore have normal healthy color, just like vampires in popular culture

    At times i find TES aproach to vampires odd. I mean they SHOULD be monsters at all times but they should be most powerful when fully fed and still look natural while being stage 4 means you are starving and weak like logic would dictate unlike the TES way when you are strongest when you are weakest >_<

    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.

    *hugs all around* I am leveling up the WW tree right now and am /dreading/ having to get my vampirism back because then it is metagame central all over again. It is so bad because my Khajiit is black with the red eye makeup, even at stage one there is no question as to what she is. *sigh*

    I don't understand the player base hate on vampires honestly. We are saying we want the guards to attack if we are at stage four, we are just begging for enough time to complete a quest or have an RP session without getting our heads lobbed off.

    Gah what I wouldn't give for a costume. It was brought up in another thread with the suggestion that combat would take it off as well so it wouldn't actually be an advantage outside of RP. And still people felt that would make vampires OP, at this point I think maybe I just don't understand what OP means.

    Exactly, I agree wholeheartedly!
    With the great creative minds of some of our fellow role-players, some vampires can't even read! Others can't use ANY magic whatsoever! Such is the wondrous thing that is role-play, no one character has to absolutely be the same as another persons character!

    I don't care what reasons or logic you come up with.
    I'm very sorry that you don't care about what reasons or logic I may come up with, this leads me to consider that perhaps maybe if I refrained from posting said logic and reasons and instead opted for another to come up with said logic and reasons, you'd care. Regardless! It could be beneficial for the creativity and enjoyment of all to not have mechanical tools in order to better add colour to, but not limited to, role-play environments by instead, having absolutely no such things even considered, spoken about and even thought about, that said, It could be beneficial for the opposite. Who knows?

    Saying that, just as there are those out there that do not use butter [nor care for it] and would love for all butter to be abolished into the deepest reaches of space [even though they do not care for it, good nor ill], just as there are others that do not care, they simply do not indulge in butter.

    I don't like butter. And yet...everywhere I turn, it's being shoved into my face.
    Some people want to not look like butter.
    Some people don't want to melt easily like butter does.
    As many as six in ten characters I see running around during any given period I am playing, I see them all buttered up, and it sickens me.
    I got over my butter phase while the letters t-e-e-n were still found in my age apparently a large portion of the player base hasn't.
    Why do I have to see some idiotic poll about butter almost every time I visit the forums? You'd think if people were that unhappy with it, they'd do the "butter cure" mission. No, it's simple entitlement, wanting the best without having any drawbacks. And THAT is what I take issue with, more than the butter itself.

    You poor dear. "Vampire butter" may be the most horrifying First World problem I've ever heard of. Oh the anguish you must suffer. So much so that you are COMPELLED to rant on every "offending" forum post you see regarding the dread Vampire Butter because of course we MUST all know how being FORCED to see the horrible Vampire Butter upsets you.
