I just want to know if the vampire attacks in towns and cities only happen if you are in that town or if they happen both when you are there or away. Basically, do they only spawn within your radius?

Yes, they only spawn in your radius.

ONLY if you are near enough for it to happen, and usually at night.

Well I have seen vampire attacks very far (not visible by my character). A chance I walked to the gates instead of fast travel or I couldn't have saved Carlotta.

True, but cities with their own 'cell' work differently; you must be inside them for the attacks to occur (which in that case you'd be 'safer'). If you are near open villages, instead, (e.g. Riverwood, Rorikstead) vampires will spawn as you'll load the first, nearest cell around the open city, which in that case you'd be less 'safe'.

Double post, sorry.

short after i got the DLC, i ran around the woods near Riften, i heard some odd noices and went to check it out, i got jumped by 2 gargoyles and a master vampire with glowing eyes, i was [censored]

The vampire attacks can happen to far away. In Solitude they always attack in the middle of the city, to far to sprint to from front gate or blue palace. The same for Riften as well, its always a reload fest. Vamp attacks in cities should just be removed and left in the wilds. Only a small vocal number of people that like npcs being killed and having a dead world.

If you haven vamp problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a vamp aint 1.

Aahh the vocal minority jumps in with nothing intelligent to say again.

I actually like meeting the traveler... its like the showdown between peter griffin and the chicken every time. SO we meet again!

Vamp stole your sweetroll?

You have nothing intelligent to say, you use that same lame saying all the time. I just read it again in the dragon attacks in cities & town folks thread....you're so original.

Yea, you mad.

He's just spamming to get his post count up. You can either ignore him or report him, but best not the feed him.

No need to be rude, man. If you want hardcoe posts, you should PM the pros to get what you are seeking, instead of start arguing with this nonsense.

Vampire attacks is a feature, not a bug, how many times is it needed to be said already?. No, they shouldn't be removed because it is not a problem, guards are there for a reason. Civilians will help you fight them. If you happen to have an NPC killed, just the reload the crap out of your game. If you are roleplaying, God have mercy.

Also, I feel bad for you for not picking up some good humour that isn't about either bronies, dogs, or cats. Instead, you call trolls someone that just doesn't want to post seriously? I call this fascism.

I'm not spamming to get my post count up, just a little joke, jeez.If I was, I'd post a lot more then two responses. Report me if you want, but I dont see how I broke any rules.

Thank you, some people cant take a little joke. And if people really have a problem with vamps, at the end of the day they can just reload. If they weren't paying attention to the game to see that vamps are attacking npc's, well tough. Thats life. Deal with the consequences.
