Vampirism was always extremely difficult especially Stage 4 in Oblivion and that was a good thing. It did provide an array of powerful benefits that could make you OP if there were no drawbacks. It's not for everyone though, you need to have decent stealth, lock picking, and magic skills to really make it worthwhile. Using charms and sneaking into vendors buildings at night to avoid burning up to buy a sword or some armor. Especially on the hardest difficulty setting its extre꧙mely challenging but also really fun once you figure out the routine and how to maintain it. Definitely more advisable for serious RPG players and I probably would never go for it on my first playthrough if I were new to the game

Don't get me wrong, the modding scene absolutely did start with Morrowind, mostly for QoL, I'm not gonna pretend like it wasn't a thing back then, but the reality is modding didn't become necessary for Elder Scrolls games until Skyrim.

Morrowind was a pain but had tons of charm and amazing features for the time, Oblivion (aside from some of the bugs) was jam packed and fantastical, and the DLC (aside from horse armor... I know) only added icing to the cake. Skyrim came out with the intention of being a modder's sand🌸box, mods were being designed before the game was even officially released. They gave us a couple of concepts and a largely empty Grey ꦉscale world. Oblivion didn't suffer the same issue, and never needed mods to be incredible or replayable.

The amount of people who want to take some Streamer's side on this is horrifying. She's someone who has been embroiled in drama and controversy multiple times through her career, and someone who's career is C list at best. Just invoking an A list actors name is going to be🥃 a massive boost to her views and footprint. She's also giving out information that no one has said before, and this culture of guilty until proven innocent is indicative of how dark our general social culture is. People are so ready to believe a bad thing faster than they will look at the facts and leave their opinions open. We just went through a whole 8 year stretch🌳 where some celebrities and popular figures were being canceled and having their lives ruined over false allegations, and you wanna feed more into it now.
