How to Become a Vampire

[Jenni]

To become a vampire in Skyrim is simple. Its been the same way since TES IIIorrowind. If you don't care that you grow a little more pale and your eyes are completely red then by all means continue reading.
All you need is a vampire, and a healing spell if you have low life or are a low level.
First off find a vampire hideout, in this guide we are going to use Broken Fang Cave.
Just west of Whiterun lies a cave named Broken Fang, Home to a few vampires.



Go inside, and let them attack you. With each hit that lands on you, you have a small chance to contract Vampirism. So let it hit you a few times till you contract Sanguinare Vampiris. After that leave the cave, Wait outside the cave 3 days and then take walk around a bit after that your screen should turn red giving you your newfound vampire powers.
Being a vampire takes responsibility, The more days you go without feeding on a human the more people around town will notice that a blood sucking monster has been walking around town and attack you. I believe after 4 days without feeding will cause Villagers/Gaurds to attack you. With each day that passes without feeding you become weaker to fire spells but you also get a few more neat powers.

Here are the effects you get from becoming a vampire:

• Weakness to Sunlight - Health, Magicka, and Stamina do not recover while in sunlight and the skin will appear to slowly burn as the player spends time in the sunlight.
