Weak (Often fatally) to sunslight
Weak to pointed sticks Weak to cross shapes Weak to silver Weak to water Weak to fire Weak to Garlic and wolfsbane Need to drink human blood for sustenance. Still need sleep. Sure they never age and have magical powers but that's a pretty shitty series of weaknesses. If vampires really existed they would be so easy for humans to wipe out, it would be like easier for us to wipe out Vampires than it would be to wipe out cats. Whiskers the kitten may be tiny but he doesn't explode in sunlight. --- When the going gets tough, the tough go have a little cry in the corner. "Your mustache is crooked" ~ R.I.P Randy Savage. ...

The thing is, all of their weaknesses are really specific and have to be used properly. They're also more about infiltration than fighting. In a battle in an open field, yeah, obviously they're not going to be the best choice if their enemies are seasoned vampire hunters.
But what makes a vampire scary is its ability to blend in and reproduce/spread its influence in secret. It's basically a human, and all it needs to do is get one bite. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not to mention not all fictional vampires have all those weaknesses.
You forgot the have to be invited into a home before they can enter though. By lost boys standards though Damn just realized that movie had plotholes iirc. Dude lost his weakness to garlic and holy water becausr he was invited, later other vampires come in univited but get wrecked by said weaknesses --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"

Read The Witcher series. Sapkowski makes them interesting as hell, as one of the best characters in the series is a vampire.
in one chapter, the other characters have a conversation with him about but... if youre a vampire, then how come ______????? And he explains why those things are myths and couldnt be possible in a logical world. It was one of my favorite conversations in the whole 7-book series. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I read The Last Wish I liked the quest in Witcher 1 where And they're like "But we didn't do anything wrong!?" and he's like "But you're vampires!" And you have to pick a side and no matter which side you pick Geralt is like "Wait a minute... I just fucked that up."

It's why I like vampire games so much. The ones that really emphasize the lore and specificities behind vampires are the ones that really nail it, though. The ones that integrate it into gameplay, like Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines, or Vampyr.

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines was great but Vampyr was awful IMO Bumming round the streets giving people asprin and generic combat against fodder for hours was just boring as hell.

The ones that integrate it into gameplay, like Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines, or Vampyr. *shrug* I enjoyed that every NPC had some sort of backstory and you had to piece together who is worth killing and leaving alive. Some peeps offer a fuckton of experience, and may be pieces of shit - but killing them might destroy the community they basically prop up. Sure, the combat was as basic as it could be but the powers were pretty fun both in combat and outside. --- take me somewhere nice ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe it got harder later but I never killed a single NPC and the combat was easy as hell, just boring.
I never got the incentive to get that experience, it didn't seem to do anything. If it could like, make you able to sneak past fights I'd see the dilemma --- When the going gets tough, the tough go have a little cry in the corner.

funny, I dont remember that, and I read The Last Wish twice. It was in the witcher game as a quest. Not the last wish that was my poor wording vampires If you kill them Geralt is like "fuck I just killed a bunch of girls who didnt do anything wrong.." and if you kill the man he is like "fuck I just murdered a man to save a bunch of vampires, the fuck kind of Witcher am I?"

The whole point of the Masquerade is obfuscation the existence of the supernatural from humanity just because humanity would eradicate the supernatural in a very, very short war.

Yeah it's a great game.
