Players should expect The Elder Scrolls 6 to take a different perspective with its vampires from Skyrim, because each Elder Scrolls game features a different breed. Vampirism in Bethesda's fantasy universe occurs through a contractible disease, though the "scientific" name given to each of these diseases changes from region to region. In Skyrim, it's referred to as Sanguinare Vampiris, and if players fail to cure it after contracting it from a vampire, it will turn them into a vampire, which is much more difficult to find a cure for.
