But with the character editor DLC you could alter that, no?
Re. the Vampire thing, should their not be a trait for people who are vampires but hidden, but if they rule for too long they are found out, and vassels and others get a CB on them? Or are vampires a culture group?
As I've told Korba, having it secret is entirely possible: Just don't define a trait icon and it will not show up. And as long as you don't code any opinion modifiers, AI characters will act as though they don't know about it.There are three stages to Vampirism;
- Porphyric Hemophilia
After contracting the vampirism disease.- Secret Vampire
Actual vampirism. Gives some stat bonuses and immortality.- Known Vampire
Gives similar bonuses but also gives a major diplomacy penalty
We would love a way to make it so Secret Vampire is invisible to everyone except the character, but that's impossible unfortunately.

You haven't mentioned an organization that was added in some recent DLC.Interesting idea, although with a pulverised diplomacy stat, a Vampire will have a lot on their hands already.
Well, you'd obviously have an event telling him about itYes maybe I wasn't so clear about it; with that method, the trait will be invisible to the character himself as well.
One thing you could do is add some kind of "Strange person" trait. The bonuses would differ depending on why this person is strange (Is he a secret vampire? Is he crazy? A werewolf? Just a bit eccentric or misunderstood?). The player himself would, of course, have a few events that tell him why he is considered strange, while other players (In multiplayer) could not be entirely sure. Although they might suspect something if you live forever.
Will there be [Daedric] invasions, by the way? Having Mehrunes Dagon trying to invade now and then could make for a great story... And the Akaviri arriving would also be pretty damn awesome.
Will you reveal anything regarding mages yet, or will that come in a later dev diary?
