    @EightBitShik: If you get hit by a Vampire, there's a chance you'll contract a specific disease (the name escapes me at the moment). Simply take a Cure Disease potion, or go to a shrine to cure it before a certain amount of time (a few days) and you'll avoid Vampirism in the future.

    @Djratchet: haha! the guy talking in the video Mark Ryan was my friend growing up in high school I lost touch with him over the years when he started working for IGN because well he was always too busy and I live in Texas. I had him on live for a while but he was in active for 150 days so I just removed him. How funny.

    (I know his last name is Sallee btw but he goes by Mark Ryan for his first name :P)

    I don't know if that video mentions it, but you can also just do the Companion quest line.

    Quicker way to sell goods:

    - Sell your stuff

    - Save

    - Murder the vendor

    - Reload. The vendor will have new stock and his cash will reset.

    @Djratchet: Yeah, he went to Digipen and I was going to move up to Seattle to be his roommate when he told me he was heading to San Fran to work for IGN at the time I met a girl who would later be my wife so I didn't move to San Fran... now I am divorced and I wished I did haha.

    @heavyplay: Waiting 24 hours seems quicker then that at least lazier the only thing was I didn't know I was bit I still don't know how I was supposed to know I was bit.

    just use a cure potion if you get it early probably had a fight with a vamp thrall at night time they tend to be around abit at night i think you have to get it at stage one to get rid of it with the cure

    @oobs: Yeah, when that happened I was past that point. I just wish there was something more on the screen that said "Hey mother fucker you are turning into a vampire". Something a long the lines of sparkling in the sun light and having a GF with zero personality. I turned into a werewolf instead so from what I read I don't have to worry about it again.

    I am sad though because I just failed a quest because I progressed the story :(. I'll have to make sure I do the side stuff before doing more story I wanted to know what happened with that quest.

    Luckily the cure vampirims quest is stupidly easy. The part that took me the longest was finding a dark soul gem. 3 hours later I realized I could just buy one from the guy performing the ritual.....

    @SSully: Yeah I had the same problem. Which is weird because I swear I talked to that guy like 3 times before I went off looking for one but oh well.

    @BigChickenDinner: You lost me.

    It's another name in Skyrim, which I find really dissapointing. Something like "vampiris" I think.

    Sanguinare Vampiris. I know, I was disappointed too. Seems to make even less sense since Sanguine is supposed to be the Daedric prince of debauchery. Maybe they're poking fun at Twilight.
