Can't seem to become a vampire...
« on: February 19, 2012, 06:33:50 pm »

So naturally with the handy new adventure update I decided to try to go and become a vampire. This has proven harder than I expected.

1. Tried licking blood off of self/weapons. Didn't work.
2. Tried biting a vampire in the damn neck and drinking its blood. Didn't work.

Both times I tried afterwards to drink blood from unconscious people (didn't get the option in the 'e' menu) and tried traveling a bit to see if I still got hungry/drowsy (I did). What gives? I'm a human who drank human vampire blood, by the way.

Some vampires work differently each game.
So you might end up turning into a vampire through talking to one?

That would certainly be convenient. Well, that adventurer is dead now and that world is gone by way of the hotfix, so who knows what the future has in store!

You have to first drink the vampire's blood, then suck blood from sleeping or unconsicous person by being next to him and choosing it from the eat-menu.

Yeah, it's really up in the air. Once I couldn't become a vampire despite drinking the blood of three different vampires, wounding one of them repeatedly so I could drink three times, fast travel away, drink three more times, etc. until it died. Then I carried its mutilated corpse with me to drink the blood off of. And nothing.

Cue my next adventurer, a necromancer, who drinks ONE thing of vampire blood and boom, he's a vampire.
