Licking the blood from my clothes...
« on: February 20, 2012, 01:45:21 am »

Acclimated to licking the blood from my clothes and weapons for easy sustenance, I am surprised by not needing to eat for a few days, until I get a red 'Thirst'. I'd suspected for awhile, but decided it was certain that I'd become a vampire. So I feed on people. Things go fine for a few days, but then I'm caught, and the game quickly becomes dull and un-fun.

I can't carry out quests because everybody knows my face and wishes to kill me. Even children. Killing them is easy, and so not fun. Even the bogeymen can't kill me. I wandered the wilderness, consumed with thirst, and wrestled alligators until finally just giving up the game. :(

Being a vampire. What's the point? Actually, it's surprisingly well simulated! Dull immortality awaits those who embrace the night.

I only angered my home civ, then (i haven't gotten the most recent version.. so there is still an ambush every two steps) i use the ambushes as training to get my adventurer prepared to face the circus, now that he has ascended mortal questing.... just an example of how badass he is, he killed a dragon with a willow training sword.

Does becoming a vampire freeze your attribute development? I REEEEEALY don't want that to be so.

Also, how feed? Derpderpderp...

I went into a keep basement and the bandit leader was a vampire lasher!

All her followers fell with ease, but when it came time to duel her she was a whirling dervish of lashes and pain - and immune to pain herself. She broke my hip and my leg almost immediately, but lost the duel because she dodged one of my pathetic human swordblows by stepping off a cliff. She dropped an enormous pile of human bone jewelry but I still didn't figure out what was up because I'd tinkered with the raws to try to make it possible to butcher sentients and thought the weird earrings and bracelets were just a side effect. I dragged myself to an empty room and rested, taking a taste of the blood on my weapon before passing out...

... and I awoke as a vampire.

Apparently they aren't all nobles.

It does freeze attributes. However, if one civ is pissed at you, just travel to another one and don't make the same mistakes.

In the future, you'll be able to bluff your way in society like all the other vampires do.
