I've been planning the adventure I fail to experience last time, for Skyrim SE... But a dark thought is always lurking around my plans, like a hungry vicious dark wolf, snarling, salivating, ready to pounce and END my expectations in SENSELESSLY BLOODY RAGE!!!. *cough* I mean:
I seriously hope Bethesda fix this LITTLE ISSUE , changing the trigger of the Vampire attacks to the first visit of Fort Dawnguard or something, anything is better that the ridiculous "just reach level 9". But, I know is not likely and hold the download of Dawnguard for when you are ready to deal with the blood svckers, is no longer an option. Thats why, I′m suffering as the emphatic creature I am, of guilt free giggles imagining the happy surprise for new players of Skyrim and people that never experience the Dlcs :].
I admit it, I may be exaggerating and generalizing a issue that may not even bother most people. Stopping a vampire attacks at level 9 and avoid losing NPCs for most people without a serious psychomotor impairment affecting their thumbs, is not really that hard... Except of course if you decide to play in legendary difficulty, but in such case. I would be in favor of punishing players for taking the path of a cowardly/sadomasochistic stealth hunchback :/c.
In my personal case, I′m proudly cheating and getting out of Helgen at level 50+, so I REALLY gonna experience the full terror of the NPCs killers with high level vampires and gargoyles, senselessly trying to murder everything on the first town I set foot. But I think I′m 60% psychologically prepared to repress my instincts of "those are MY toys to kill and thrall as I please, NOT yours" and simply become a bringer of dead, accepting the NPCs deaths as fair price for my cheating.
