The werecurse is pretty self explanatory, but how is toady going to incorporate vampires?

If they bite you do you turn into a vampire? or is the curse simply for npc's?

Vampire bites don't spread the curse unless the vampire wants it, and other versions of the myth say that a human has to drink vampire blood to inherit immortality. It will be interesting to see the DF version of vampirism, and i really hope adventurers will be able to take part in the bloodsucking.

There was a fair amount of exposition on this in the latest DF talk. Vampires are to be generated like everything else (using the forgotten beast code) with the general sticking point that they're parasitic in some way; other attributes will be mostly random.

I'm pretty sure Toady's Vamps will be 10x scarierer than twilights pansy vamp, even in Ascii, and yeah i'm pretty sure you could become a vamp, in time no doubt he'll explain it in the devologs in the coming days.

Also with thsoe ramdom attribute it means we can have savage vamps, who have given in to the beast within and probobly could go out into the daylight, and the 'Noble/gentleman' yet sinster ones that livee in the city, in manors most likely.

And yet you're gonna' still "brainwash" them and turn them to your slaves right? For science?

Unless the vampires are so retarded that they can't graduate high school after being in it for 150 years and they're picking up 15 or 16 year old girls at that age then no, they won't be anything like the ones in twilight.

good thing DF doesn't have schools yet or Sparkle forts would be doomed. also wasn't that just one retarded vampire. not to mention all vampires have different mutant powers...OH GOD I was reminded of Teen Mystique, I need MIND eraser!

[Montague]

He said he will basically take all the archtypes and myths about the traits of vampires and make each characteristic randomly apply with each worldgen.

So, you can have vampires you must kill with a wooden stake, or simply beat to death, or vampires that can stroll around in daylight, vampires that are repelled by uh, garlic or quarry bush leaves or whatever. He said he won't include sparkly skin, since it might be a copyright issue.

Thank god for that. The sparkly skin thing is even more retarded than the 150 years in high school thing. Hopefully he won't add high schools and randomly have the vampires attend them.

Actually since Toady is adding a bit of randomisation... I hope he sort of allows leeway on what a vampire type can and cannot be.

Does he look fine? almost supernaturally handsom? or deformed.

Does he have to feed or is it like a fine bottle of brandy?

Does he have to kill when he feeds or doesn't he?

Is this a he or a she? (sorry I had to say that )

Does the vampire lose strength in sunlight or die? What about Water?

Can the vampire chose who they transform?

I'd love the whole gambit.
