I wasn't eating townies after all, I'd head off and eat a bandit
stronghold or necromancer or vampire lair when I got hungry.

Trying to arrest a vampire doesn't seem irrational to you?
Kill I could understand, but arrest?

This character got infected and turned, kinda by accident.  Since I
don't have a cure, and the mod I'm using is pretty relentless about
requiring that you feed (and you get hungry fast) I'm acting the part.
Bethesda's vampires are a pale imitation with very little limitations in
game.

Might be worth a look, but if it suffers from the same lack of testing
and bad writing as Skyrim, I think I'll pass.

They've been going downhill for some time now, skipping a lot of core
content and testing so they can get to making and selling DLCs fast,
fast, fast.

I blame, in part, consoles.  Each ES game since they started putting
them on consoles has gotten simplified and reduced - less spells, less
skills, less stats, less, well, depth.
Since the console types also can't use mods they're panting to buy DLCs.

Where's the custom character creator of days gone by?
Where's the spell maker, the item maker (and no this "you have to
disenchant an item to be able to make it and a bunch of the items CAN'T
be disenchanted" so some things can never be self enchanted, half-assed
one doesn't count)
Where's the HUGE number of things you used to be able to enchant on an
item depending on the soul used.
Where's the soul used actually having inherent effects?

It's a shallow mockery compared to the previous chapters.
