Question about bloodsucking
« on: March 24, 2012, 07:07:59 pm »

I finally managed to get a vampire adventurer and so far things have been pretty good, I guess. But I'm a little confused about how much blood I need to drink. With normal food/drinking, you get a limit of 3 'noms' before you have to fast-travel, right? With blood, I can feed from a single creature dozens of times repeatedly and it doesn't even seem to affect them (they die from suffocation due to me strangling them unconscious or they bleed out from wounds I inflicted earlier). The only time I can drain anything dry is when I feed on them while I'm 'Thirsty' (and even then, it only works on small creatures or those who already lost some blood). So, does bloodsucking only work when I'm thirsty, or is there like a hidden hunger meter that fills up every time I drink someone. (and if there is, is there a limit on how much it can fill up?)

You only drink as much as you need.

Ah, so there is no point in drinking when I'm not thirsty? Good to know, I was wasting a lot of time hunting down random animals to feed off when I didn't need to.

You don't >really< need to drink in the early stages of thirst, either. I'm not certain what (if anything) happens if you go long enough without blood, but I've gone 2-3 ingame days without any blood with no apparent ill effects.
