"Just then a fireball came at me. “What the [censored]?, where did that come from!?” I heard laughter. Vampires! A dasterdly pair of them had set up shop in the bottom of the mountain near a statue of some sort. "

Let's hope they're Volkihar vamps and not generic vamps.

[BootySweat]

key info, in case you can't access the article

1. group of vampires hanging out in a mountain cave not far from Riverwood

2. the bartender in Riverwood is Jim Cummings and he gave the PC a quest to steal a journal from someone

3. there is a sort of attack move where you can push enemies around with your shield or weapon, he uses it to push some draugr off a cliff

4. this writer is a hardcore Daggerfall/Morrowind fan and he was really skeptical about Skyrim but the 60-minute hands on won him over. now he praises the game to the high heavens.

5. when bards sing in taverns, the patrons dance

In the article he kills some bandits at a camp and tries to sleep there and it says he can't sleep in owned beds.

[Wolfie]

this makes me sad worse yet bandits?!?!? i dont think obliv had to many bandits owning a bed

At E3, Todd told Steve Farrelly that it wasn't in the build they were working with, but it was on his list and it will be in the final version of the game.

Perhaps they simply didn't get time to fix this for the quakecon demo

It would be a massive dissapointment if vamp's werent included, i'm pretty sure we all had a gut feeling that they would reside in Skyrim too, specially after that book in oblivion about the volhkloir or however you spell the damn thing.

[Mekorosi]

Oh yay! Turns out I'll be setting some pale fangers to the torch in Skyrim. ^_^

[BillDAWG]

is this the quakecon demo?

[BootySweat]

yes, Dave Oshry was one of the 20+ journalists who got to play Skyrim for 60 minutes.

That article was epic. Totally got a sig out of it.

[Argonanza]

I wish he'd given a description of them, other than being Vampires.

[4ngelus]

I just hope they make being a vampire actually worth it. Hopefully more than just small increases in skills and garbage spells....

Theres a video on Youtube where Todd howard confirms that there are vampires, its at PAX i think

Can we please revamp the feeding system? They should keep being able to feed on people in their sleep, but having only that option kills the thrill of the hunt. We should be able to overpower and then feed on our enemies which are near death, or on fresh corpses.

I'd like to tell you otherwise, but as Todd Howard mentioned 'feeding on people in their sleep' in his video announcing vampires, I doubt that any other feeding methods will be available.
