So I never got to play it when it came out for PC since only my friend had it and he moded to the point where it was not fun at all... I picked it up before Skyrim comes out to get the feel and I like the game alot... Slow at first, but making a Necro/ warrior class is awesome, and quest get alotttt better. Anyway..so I got infected by vampirism and there IS NO WAY to cure it in PS3 version. There is an ingrediants glitch whenre the witch wont accept it. I dont mind being a vamp.. the stats kick ass, plus new spells but I mean the day light thing sucks ass because try selling loot when you have 10 minutes before stores all close! Its frustrating have to wait in caves and feed everday in diffrent guilds for easy neck bites.. please dont make this mistake skyrim! I wonder if i can be a werewolf? that be cooler

Agree with solemn nods and then laugh because getting it on the PS3 was a ball-dropped from the start?

I'm sorry I have to do this, I really wouldn't want to but this warrants it:



Seriously, where's the discussion value? Why do people insist on using the "New Topic" button like they use a blog? There's better places for personal venting

I don't know about the PS3 version, but last time I played it, on the 360 (I also have it on PC, but haven't played in a while) vampirism wasn't that bad, I mean, yeah, it kinda sucks to be feeding all the time to walk in plain sun and added certain layer of challenge and difficulty, I actually liked it, but it wasn't my first time playing the game either.

Just try to move from city to city, or between near locations if you want to travel from side to side of the map, also, bear in mind that, aside the Imperial City, both Skingrad and Bravil are great resources to feast upon helpless bums at night (even sometimes at day).

If you really don't like to be a vampire... well, there's nothing else I can tell you.

This is why we need command consoles in the console version.

I looked it up, its a ps3 glitch thats unfixable in the GAME OF THE YEAR edition. Once your full blown vampire, to the point where praying doesnt cure it at a gods temple, your stuck with it.

Hmm, perhaps if we insert that thing in there, twist that around and slap this here.....

Nope, I got nothing.

You know what? Considering how easy it is to bring up virtual keyboards on the PS3/360 I don't know why you couldn't choose to impliment them. May require more work on their part, but I can't imagine why it's not doable.

Considering how many bugs Bethesda's games have (and Obsidian, with FO:NV), you'd think they'd have added it in already.

I've had the exact same problem and tried to warn people away from it whenever I seem someone going to purchase it in a store. It's not the be all and end all of glitches but it is rather annoying.

...I spent ages trying to find out why I couldn't cure it too >.<

Exactly, not only that, but the PS3 has that little keyboard attachment. Or you could just push select/back and choose from a list of commands like setstage.

...que the worlds smallest string section, this is why you have more than 1 save in oblivion guys, The next time I hear a nit wit who has wandered into a cave and found out'Oh shit, I am a vampire' is going to have themselves killed, At least you don't sparkle in the sunlight or become irresistible to the canine creatures inhabiting the world.

I have an old GotY edition for ps3, I can cure vampirism, so I guess QQ more? besides, it's your own fault for not curing it before it turned into vampirism, potion of cure disease is easy to acquire in 3 days.

Not sure what DLC comes with the PS3 GOTY but if you have the vile lair (Deepscorn Hollow) expansion there is an alternate way to cure vampirism

Buy the 5 year anniversary edition then. Bethesda deserve more money for the brilliance which was Oblivion. :p

As for the bug I've not heard of it before, could be it's unique for your save file. :L
Did you remember to stab the Argonian with the special knife? Thats an important part.
I used to lurk the wiki, it is definitely an identified bug exclusive to the PS3 version.
