Morrowind Vampire Interview

The friendly people at the Morrowind Summit let us know they’ve posted the 2nd Vampire Q&A with the Dev. Team, and after reading it, I feel more inclined to try the Vamp. race out, even if it might be more difficult. Some of that interview:

Q: How easily will I be able to become a vamp Within the first few hours , or will I have to run all over the place in the night looking for a vamp? Will there be a vast population of vampires in the game? Or only a handfull? Can you interact with a vampire besides fighting him?

A: [Mark Nelson] There is not a vast vampire population in Morrowind. Remember, vampires are despised, as are all things that hint of necromancy, and have been hunted nearly to extinction. However, there are still some vampire strongholds that remain. In addition, there are “rogue” vampires who’ve set up shop for themselves, as well as groups of clanless (or “accidental”) vampires that have banded together for safety. It will be tough to find most of the vampires, and that’s how they like it.

Q: Can you, in theory, no mater how hard it might be, complete the main quest as a vampire? Do you have to be evil?

A: [Mark Nelson] In theory…yes you can. You won’t be able to move through the main quest as a non-vampire would be able to. You’ll have to essentially bypass a lot of quests and get to the end part through a different path (which is an option regardless of whether you’re a vampire). It will be a big pain in the butt, but the more hard-headed can do it.
