Whether, in this instance, its true, its a valid concern to have.
In many (If not most) instances, vampirism in a game gets really silly really fast, and tends to attract some rather odd groups. Demons even moreso. There\'s another thing which hasn\'t seemed to show up here that I simply won\'t even mention in case someone goes with it, but it\'s all fairly patterned, and will eventually happen.
Anyways, in most games, people who play movie-popular creature types -tend- to want a power trip (Mind you, they do often grow out of it, but that takes YEARS). You have no bloody idea how many god-level werevampiredemondragonsunbathers I\'ve had to fight over the years in other games. It gets REALLY annoying.
It\'s also not all that creative. You can find other excuses to bite people and be all shadowy. I certainly have. Throw a little snake blood and simply -personal preferences-, and your character is slightly more original, and the reason you do things is more honest. Or, heck, just say something like \"I need animal food, but I hate to kill, so I just drink blood\" or somesuch.
All valid, but without the baggage of being a vampire.
You can even be undead. But vampirism has fifty thousand different stories, and everyone has a favorite (My personal version is that the vampire\'s soul is sent to some hellish realm and comes back as a possessing demon, rather than simply undead. Just an example).
It\'s also especially odd when you can\'t reflect it well in the game.
Even striving towards vampirism makes more sense.
But, to each their own cycle.
