About Vampires

I don't have the game yet,but i wanted to ask anyone that is already playing,since i haven't managed to find an answer already on the forum.

How does becoming a vampire affect your appearence?Do you become more pale or "undead"(sort of) like in oblivion or something similar?

Also,does it differ between the stages of vampirism?

Thanx

From what I can tell it's the same kind of thing that happened in oblivion, I got rid of vampirism pretty quick (Its a pain) but you go a bit pale and your face gets more gaunt.

It's roughly the same as in Oblivion, appearance-wise.

Same as well for the buffs/debuffs increasing the longer you go without feeding, with becoming a full on blood-starved vampire making everyone around you hostile and attempt to kill you, except for a couple of factions that are more accepting of vampirism (not going to spoil that detail, you'll find out easily enough once you start playing about).

The one difference that makes it more difficult is that now, feeding only reverts you back one stage of vampirism, instead of resetting it back to the initial stage. This means that to stay low on the vampirism changes, you will constantly need to feed instead of just never using the wait/rest command. The changes now are dependent on each 24-hour cycle instead of being dependent on when you actually wait or rest.

And the stat buffs that Vampires get are excellent for aiding in stealth play.
