"I HATE Being A Vampire" Says One Oblivion Remastered Player

While being a vampire in either Skyrim or Oblivion has its downsides, life as a Skyrim vampire is generally a lot easier. You don't get damaged in sunlight like Oblivion, you're resistant to frost, and you have the ability to become a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Vampire Lord, learning a bunch of handy skills 🦋in the process.

This revela𓄧tion is new to many long-time Skyrim, first-time Oblivion players, and they've taken to ve♉nting about it online.

In a new on the Oblivion Remaster , players have been sharing their unhappiness with becoming a vampire in the game. "There are some perks that come with being a vampire, but they absolutely do not negate the fact that being a vampire CONSTANTLY interrupts my ability to fast travel, talk to people, walk in the sun, walk in the rain. If you try to pass time during the day outside so that you can fast travel, the sun kills you. Being a vampire and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:trying to finish the cure quest has been by far the most frustrating p🌄art of the game," said the thread's creator. LoTheReaper.

This was a sentiment echoed by many other players. Chance_Egg_4687 , "Yeah, I definitely cured that s**t immediately. I get it, and it's lore accurate to be constantly on fire in the sun or whatever, but surely they didn't think it would be a good thing to allow players to deal with." DJ_Scott_La_Rock , "Sadly, this is the worst Elder S𝓰crolls game to play as a vampire."

Sadly, this is the worst Elder Scrolls gaꦉme to play as a vampire.

While many complained, some were quick to point out that, of course, becoming a vam🌳pire isn't easy. Sultrysisyphus that "vampirism is a disease, not a cheat code," with EvenResponsibility57 , "In Oblivion, it has benefits, but also has downsides and really has to be well managed. It's more of a role-playing choice, which especially plays well with the 'Vile Lair' house/DLC."

To vampire or not to vampire, that is the🐎 question.
