I'd be more surprised if they suddenly
weren't included in Skyrim. But like everyone else (close enough!), I want to see some were-creatures at least!
I really hope that they made vampirism more bearable this time around. Oblivion was boring as
hell when it was mostly night, and the nighteye power sucked miserably (no pun intended) because it turned the game into Call of Medieval Duty. Please tell me they learned and made nighteye like Morrowind again so it wouldn't ruin immersion while also being extremely helpful.

Well I hope Vampires are a bit more relevant to the game this time. In Oblivion, with the exception of a few short side-quests, they were just kind of "there", not really doing anything. Vamps should be doing stuff, you know?
Something that separates them from all the random bandits you kill. Have em sneak into towns to feed. Occasionally you'd find some NPCs had "disappeared", only to reappear turned as vampires. Maybe even have one particularly ambitious vampire do something apocalyptic. Just don't make them "random enemy type #42".
That would be a great change of pace. I hope they also have some sort of guild or vampire specific missions that aren't just trying to cure the disease or something underwhelming. Vampirism should offer an entire new underworld (Underworld!) that interacts with the everyday.
In Morrowind they were typically more formidable than the average bandit and were a damn good incentive to always carry an enchanted weapon or silver. Maybe silver won't be such a joke with Skyrim (haven't played it yet, if it hasn't been clear) because Oblivion treated it as a minor inconveniencing step to achieve a better grade of weapon instead of an anti-undead necessity and relative powerhouse. Get to high levels and smack an Oblivion wraith with a silver sword to get the drift.
