Vampires: why does your character drink blood? Options

[Lady Saga]

I am having trouble with this one, and need some ideas. Why does your character drink blood? Why do they feed?

In Oblivion, becoming a Stage 4 vampire caused the majority of NPCs to be repulsed by our characters. They technically did not have to feed, but at least once the feeding was done, the NPCs stopped recognizing that our chars were vampires. This essentially gave our characters a reason to feed, at least.

But in Skyrim, this is no longer so (assuming Dawngurd is installed). The NPCs treat our characters with mild suspicion at best, but going from Stage 1 to Stage 4 does not actually cause any wanton sorts of behavior from the world.

So why does your character need to feed? What RP ideas have you all come up with?

[Destri Melarg]

I think you are confusing his wife with the Pale Lady in Skingrad. Hassildor's wife is in a coma from lack of drinking blood and that is why he wants to cure her because she refuses to drink blood and thus went into a comma. The Pale Lady is the one who takes prisoners and feeds off of them and then takes some of the blood and gives it to Hassildor's wife to keep her alive.

Whoops, I stand corrected. You are right of course. Thanks for the clarification.

So what I take from all this is that Destri, after decades of practice, has learned to control the beast and can now control his pizza frenzy urges. Therefore, he lives in a clean house, keeping his pizza lust quietly concealed from the rest of civilized society.

Yes, but just barely!

Yes, but watch out for squirrels with drinks in their mouths!

Certain squirrels are always welcome to share a pizza… especially if they come bearing drinks!

But your secret is out now, we know to lock our pepperoni and mozzarella cheese up

I'm on my way; but just so you understand - spraying drinks out one's mouth because someone barked a laugh out of the squirrel is not the same thing as the squirrel bearing drinks; although either way you are covered...er, one way or another?
