Hi Andre,



I experienced the same problem you did and I restarted the game, though I restarted for other reasons. You must have gone into a vampire cave and fought vampires. The truth is that it is actually very easy to avoid turning into a vampire. Some people actually enjoy turning into a vampire because you become very powerful.



To understand how to avoid turning into a vampire, let's talk about how to turn into a vampire. In Oblivion, vampirism is really a symptom of a disease called: Porphyric Hemophilia. You contract this disease when bitten by a vampire and that usually happens after you fought a vampire and he/she wounded you. Then after you contracted the disease, it takes 3 full days and sleeping for you to actually develop into a vampire (to have the symptom). That is also when you have a nightmare. In fact, you do not turn into a vampire even after three full days if you have not slept.



To avoid turning into a vampire, you do the opposite, make sure you check your status after fighting a vampire. If "Porphyric Hemophilia" appear as one of your conditions, then cure it within 3 days -- which is a lot of time. It is very easy. You can cure it like any other diseases. You can either drink a "Cure Disease" potion or spell or simply go to the temple and pray: receive blessing. After three days, however, you will turn into a real vampire (after sleep) and that become much tougher to cure, but still possible. Now, you have to go on a mission called "Til Death Do They Part" to turn yourself back to normal.

Best luck
There is no way to avoid it if you sleep you get bit if you do a quest you catch the daisies

YOU CAN CLONE THE soul gems

just get any type of spell scroll from the imperial city

in the market place district go to the mystic emporiumm I may be wrong but go there and buy 2 of the same scrolls.

Ok if you have more than one soul gem drop it until you have one. Go to the scroll in your inventory press A two times on the scroll, and now go to your soul gem in your inventory and drop it, and now it's cloned, and you should be droping two of them soul gems.

You can repete this.

The number of same scrolls you have is the number of cloned items you will drop.Is there anyway to avoid vampirism in elder scrolls oblivion?
When you first get infected with vampirism... it's ok... just remember this: DON'T SLEEP ANYWHERE!!!!! because when you sleep, the disease develops while you sleep.



If you do fall asleep (must be less than three times after infected), you can go to a church altar and it will cure the disease.



Or you could make or buy a cure disease spell and use it on yourself.



And there is this very long mission you can do to get rid of vampirism as a last resort.
Once you contract the disease, go to an altar and pray to be healed, as long as it's been under three days, you'll be good. If it's been more than three days, just put off sleeping as long as possible. But if you want to completely avoid infection, don't fight vamps, and don't eat the Champion's heart.Is there anyway to avoid vampirism in elder scrolls oblivion?
kill the vampire before it infects you or avoid all vampires. another thing you can do if you do get bit is to get the cure. cant remember exactly where the cure is at but i have the strategy guide around here somewhere. email me if you have questions
Needed for what?



just go to a shrine or church in any city or town, then go to the alter and then click prayer.



you should be clean (unless your a full vampire)
*Go to church and pray at alter(unless your full vampire)

*Drink/cast cure disease

*I think argonians are immune to disease, thus cannot become vampires
