Vampire!, Whoa! Options

[Frostblade10]

Hey guys, im on the last Thief's Guild quest and i slept in the dungeon and awoke a vampire. I am wondering if there are any advantages or disadvantages of being a vampire. Should i go on not as a vamp? or as one? I just dont want to find out that i have to keep killing people to live.

i personally didnt like vampirism... the bads outweighed the goods, in my opinion
but, a lot of people like it and think it adds variety to the game...
the longer you go without feeding, the more powerful you get (strength, speed, etc) and you get more active and passive abilities
but also, the longer you go without feeding, the more people dislike you and the more the sun hurts you during the day... you also cant fast travel or wait outside during the day

i once got stuck and had wait for about an hour when i went into someone's house (not in town, in the middle of nowhere) and then the sun came up... it wouldnt let me wait because i was trespassing, but if i went outside, anything that i could wait in was too far away for me to get to before i fell over dead from the sun. so i had to wait til night time came back around until i could do anything again

well, that post was a lot longer than it needed to be, but i think i got my point across about why i disliked being a vampire...
