Diseases from vamps and werewolves?

Forgive my lack of lore knowledge, but it seems that in the ES universe, if you're bitten by a vamp or werewolf, you contract a "disease" which, if left uncured/unattended, will end up leaving you with full blown vampirism or lycanthropy.

So how about a mechanic where if a non-vamp/ww is hit by a vamp with a vamp ability or by a werewolf with a werewolf ability, they have a chance (checked by their resist disease stat) that could possibly give them the applicable disease - one that acts like a debuff until they either get it cured by the mage who does said service or by completing the transformation at on of the shrines? Would add a whole new level to PVP.

    problem is most want to be infected, untill theres a benifit for staying pure that vamps or WW cant have, then they wont do it

    Not with the changes in the PTS - a lot of people DON'T want to be vamp/ww now, from all the whining that I've seen.

    most wanna dump them because of no free passive since you now need to slot an ability. their loss. vampires got buffed in some builds due to drain now healing 10% hp per tick

    Well, for the reasons others have said I doubt this will happen with vampirism or lyncanthropy, but other diseases have been part of the Elder Scrolls lore and could be re-introduced.
