It's always been really easy to catch vampirism in the elder scrolls games, especially if you play a melee based character. Just make sure to buff up with a resist disease potion or spell first and you don't have to worry about it.
If anything you should be able to just get a potion from a merchant to get rid of that shit if it happens.
I never got the disease in Oblivion as a melee character... Having said that it'd be great if the sun didn't do you any damage and instead made you Sparkle!

You can use cure disease potions too as long as you catch it early. Vampirism something takes like 2 game days to turn you once you get infected. If you miss that window however, you have to go on the aforementioned long and difficult quest. At least that's how it worked in Morrowind and Oblivion anyways......

Cool, for those that want it, but I hated having to do the Dark Brotherhood questline for that reason, it was the last thing I did.

Has a good 3 part video of Skyrim, Similar to E3, but cleaner and without too much background dialog to detract from the game. Enjoy

That old bag that makes the vampire cure wouldn't accept the ingredients
in one of my playthroughs of Oblivion, so I couldn't finish the quest!
None of that in Skyrim, please Bethesda!

That quest made me quit Oblivion the first time around, since I was a complete n00b and hated finding ingredients.
Good thing I picked it up again later and logged 150 hours! And without doing that shite quest! Ha!

I always liked the idea of vampirism in the game, but HATED that every time a vampire hit you with its sword/axe/whatever you were automatically turned into one. Hopefully in this game they at least show a biting animation to explain it...
I won Oblivion being a vamp, sun damage wasnt that hard, if you had a good cure spell level.
I love it every minute, on Skyrim I will look to get vampirism as soon as possible since everything is easier, your combat skills get better, your magic gets bumped up and you get some charm spells to trick people to like you, all that against little sun damage that forces me to find a dungeon and beat the crap out of it while it gets dark? thats a good deal.

There were only 3 things I hated about vampirism in Oblivion.
1) No stores open at night.
2) Your face takes the form of a bag of wieners.
3) Sucking blood doesn't create more vampires!

Please give us Mountable dragons- that is all . An expansion with mountable dragons , that's all I need.
Never stuck with Morrowind long enough to find out what Vampirism was like, though I knew from the guide that it severely gimped the game in that you couldn't barter with hardly anyone and guards apparently always attacked you on sight. Loved it in Oblivion, especially if I waited until I got the relevant attributes maxed before getting it. But it was too easy to circumvent (you guys know that as long as you stay at the first stage, you can run around all day without burning and didn't drop disposition much at all? Only once you progress beyond the first stage - 25% vampirism - did you actually get the sun burning effect).
I'm kind of hoping it's a little more difficult to play around this time around, not the quest though, never really bothered with it. Even at first-stage vampirism, you could be basically just a little bit stronger than any other character, and plus with vampirism those fucking spider daedra stopped being so annoying. Hated getting swarmed by their little spiderlings and having to drag out a fight of me falling down over and over until I killed them.
You know what? I think I need to play another round as a vampire. So random, too. Once went 200 hours without getting it, in spite of dungeon diving nothing but vampire haunts, then on the next character I made, got it on the very first hit from the very first vampire I encountered, almost right after leaving the tutorial sewers.

Oblivions vamprie cure quest was also bugged forever so you couldn't even do it if you had already shut the oblivion gates because the game thought blood grass no longer existed even though it totally did. They fixed it like a month later.

Not on the GOTY edition they didn't. It's still broken to this day. At least on the PS3 version.

Oh cool you can be a vampire in a game you can't even play yet. How about a resistance 3 review? Or even an answer on when to expect it would be nice.
The screen states "You've contracted Porphyric Hemophilia." You drink a a cure disease potion. Voila, no vampirism.
Don't blame the game for neglecting to pay attention to a warning prompt and suffered the consequences.

What was worse still was the fact that the PS3 Game of the Year addition sometimes broke the cure quest. I was so pissed when I couldn't give that witch one of the items. Had to start the game over, cause I didn't want to play as a vampire. I started checking my diseases constantly after that.
Make it obvious when it happens, with plenty of warning, and you can leave your fetch shit in.
Or make it random, but an easy fetch quest.

As others pointed out, I thought it worked pretty fairly in Oblivion. I didn't waste any time because I knew I wanted no part of the cure quest.

Shouldn't it be like REALLY fucking hard to cure vampirism, i mean if it was easy then it would cause all the vampire hunters to lose their jobs!
I don't know what everyone is talking about as soon as you got the disease you could go to a church for free or get a potion to cure it. It was very easy to avoid I played over 100 hours of oblivion and only became a vampire once by choice. I would say thats far from "inevitable".

vampires have been in the elder scrolls since at least morrowind and they have been awesome since than
Jim complaining about something simple as if it's a huge burden? Go figure.
The game notified you when you caught the disease and a Cure Disease would knock it right out in a 2 day span.

Yeah I have never had a time where I was like. Oh shit I'm a Vampire. If shows you when you catch it and you can look in the active effects page to see what kind of diseases are affecting you.
Also if you have "Porphyric Hemophilia" it "Drains" your fatigue by 5 points. So it shows up on the stats page where your Level, Class, And race are Displayed.
Come on guys KNOW YOUR ELDER SCROLLS.
