Oblivion Remastered Players Dislike the Vampire Experience

Sure thing, let me try and scribble this out for you:

Okay, so, I’ve been diving into the whole vampire thing in Oblivion Remastered, and let me just say, it’s not exactly what people were expecting—especially if you’re coming from Skyrim. Man, some folks are seriously miffed! Like, I saw this whole thread where players are saying they "hate" how it’s all set up. Not sure why it stuck with me, but there’s some serious grumbling going on.

First off, let’s backtrack a bit. Vampires in The Elder Scrolls have been around forever—well, since the beginning. In TES: Arena, they were just enemies, but then Daggerfall came along, and bam! You could actually be a vampire. That game went all out with nine different vampire bloodlines. Yeah, nine! Each had its own quirks and storylines. Go figure, right?

Anyway, fast forward to Oblivion Remastered—players jumped in expecting a smooth ride like in Skyrim, where vampirism is, well, kinda toned down. Nope. They got hit with things like sun damage that’s a real pain unless you keep feeding. It’s wild. You gotta adjust your whole game plan—either fully live as a vampire or hunt down a cure. It’s like, do you embrace it or nah?

By the way, there’s this Reddit user, LoTheReaper, who just went off about it. I think their post even hit the front page of r/Oblivion. The place blew up! Some players love the hardcore angle, though. They’re like, "Hey, vampirism ain’t a cheat code; it’s a disease." Which, okay, fair point. But you can’t blame folks for thinking it’d be less harsh, especially newbies from Skyrim. There, not feeding isn’t even a big deal. You press a button, and boom—you’re fed!

Honestly, it’s kinda charming seeing how this all plays out. TES fans aren’t holding back, that’s for sure.
