Troubles of the Undead Kind

[Arok2092]

From what I can tell so far I have a slightly different issue with Vampirism then most people. I want to become a vampire but can't. Earlier in my game I had been a vampire but I wanted to wait until later to be the vampire when my abilities were better. So I used the PurgeBlood Salts from Deepscorn Hollow to cure my vampirism. Now, I am ready to be a vampire again and I was following the way Vicente Valteiri can give you Vampirism through but no matter how long I wait and sleep, I just can't contract Vampirism. I got the 1st journal entry after having been bitten by him saying that I had the holes in my neck now. So I did what Vicente said to do by waiting 3 days, and then sleeping. However, this did not work for me. My spell effects still shows that I have Poryphryic Hemophilia. I have left the DB base and rested outside of it as well but that didn't work either.

Does anyone know if by using the Purgeblood Salts it makes it impossible to become a vampire ever again? Please help because I really don't envy trying to get myself beat up by a bunch of crazy vampires just to get a disease!

I looked at the scripts for the vampire cure, and it sets the PCVampire variable to -1

Set PCVampire to -1

, if you're playing on a PC you could try using the console to set the variable to 0 or 1. Zero being a non-vampire, thus (I believe) allowing you to become one. One should mean you are a vampire, but probably will not work properly as the relevant effects have not been activated.

I suggest making new save before experimenting, and try setting the variable to zero

Set PCVampire to 0

, then contract the disease.

Hmm, thanks but unfortunately I am confined to playing Oblivion on the Xbox as my computer is so bad off I highly doubt it could even play Morrowind. I will try and find other methods of getting to be a vampire but it won't kill me to not be a vampire; I'm sure I'll get pver it eventually. Thanks for the help anyway Galraen!
