About disease, certain kinds will kill you but you keep on playing. . . And you can get cured if you really want to but a lot of players don't (want to). In fact they try to get these diseases on purpose and there are also variants to the disease.

Because of the diseases in Daggerfall, I would get cured of any and all diseases in Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon, Oblivion, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. So, no vampirism quests or werewolves for me. I keep thinking I should try them at least, but habit is hard to break. "You've been diseased *cure disease*"

Hehe subtlety is out the door. Since you've let loose the bagged cats, it's really really cool to turn vampire in Daggerfall. Moreso than other ones. You "die" but wake up in a mausoleum full of undead from inside a stone tomb / coffin. Nothing had better opening atmosphere for transforming. Even later games felt more lame. You eventually get word of antidotes but with free limited flights and much higher stats, you could even stack both vampire and werewolf. Crazy huh? But it was do-able with player choice.

Being a werewolf in Bloodmoon was so very, very awesome. Much more so once you get to the point of having more control over it. I almost felt bad for the plague I'd become to the island.

Vampirism in Morrowind was not as much fun with all the negatives, but I did have fun with a very high level black leather clad vampiress leader of the mage guild with a cadre of male Imperial guard slaves.
