I love the current one.
WHAT? Glowing eyes? Laaame. I'm gonna miss my cool red-streaked, gold eyes. I'm gonna miss them a lot.
That is just immensely disappointing.
But, I agree that they shouldn't have gotten rid of being attacked at fourth stage, some of the most fun I've had in the game was being chased out of towns by angry mobs, or having to sneak into my house in Markarth to feed on my wife.
And with combat feeding, & blood vials, it's going to be literally almost effortless to keep yourself out of fourth stage. So, I don't see the point in adding those features, if you're removing the penalty they were supposed to cushion.
