Do you try to become a vampire?

Have you tried to become a vampire? Do you think it's good to try it and gain that big power boost with the risk of dropping dead due the lack of sun protection scream in Skyrim?

I became a vampire on one of my characters, and I did it to achieve 100% Magic Absorption. It's great fun, but it can get boring after awhile as only physical damage affects you.

Depending on the character I like to become a vampire. I am a lot into roleplaying and so I chose the story and just go with it, if it happens I just tweak the story a bit depending on what I thought of the character before hand. Like if it's a sad tiny orc dude who casts spells, he will be excited to be a vampire and prove to his clan that he is strong, if on the other hand he is an noble imperial he'll be devastated and do like small feeding rides and keep mostly home until the night hten just walk and talk to people as it's normal to talk with someone at 3 am.

I just find the whole no regen in sunlight thing too inconvenient, regardless of any benefits. So no, I haven't.

War

Typically, never intentionally. I have trouble playing as "evil" characters. I just have a tough time justifying evil choices. Also, I think previous Elder Scrolls games made it that if you were a vampire, sunlight could physically hurt you - that scared me away from being a vampire a bit.

Team Dawnguard here. I shan't become vampire scum!

Truth be told, I agree with what War said above: I became a vampire in Oblivion and sincerely disliked taking damage in the sun. It was such a pain in the ass. Guess I never saw the benefits of being a vampire in Skyrim, either.

With mods such as Better Vampires, being a vampire actually has better benefits - and I prefer playing stealthy, rogue-y type characters more than generic 'two-handed warrior with heavy armour', for example.

I did, then bought Dawnguard. I thought who better to hunt vampires then a vampire? They did not allow that. If there is a vampire hunting group, I'd like to join them as my vampire character.

im a vampire in the games that allow it in skyrim i can see them bringing back vampire lord form in elder scrolls 6 since its confirmed to be in the noxiphilic sanguivoria and Porphyric Hemophilia strains as well but only from the non-thinbloods
