Oblivion Remastered: How to become a Vampire
Want to know how to become a Vampire in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered? There are some very strong advantages to becoming a Vampire in Oblivion, particularly early on in your playthrough. Prime among them is a dramatic increase in several important skills and attributes, making many encounters much easier than they would otherwise. Plus, you’re a Vampire. And that’s just cool.
Vampirism in Oblivion takes hold of you via the Porphyric Hemophilia disease, which – if left untreated for 3 days – will turn you into a full Vampire. But even after that point, you’ll have to pay attention to your Vampirism Level, which fluctuates based on how long it’s been since you last drank a humanoid’s blood. The higher your Vampirism Level, the more powerful your abilities and bonuses – but also the weaker you are to sunlight and fire damage.
If all this sounds up your alley, then you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every method of becoming a Vampire in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, from random Vampire encounters to the two specific questlines which can culminate in you contracting the all-important Vampirism disease.
