You have to "pickpocket" them while they're sleeping. Sneak and press whatever your "Activate Item" button is, and you'll have the option to pickpocket or feed on the sleeping person. I have no idea if they actually TELL you this, for me this is simply carry-over information from previous games.
Once you've fed, you can talk to people. Talk to folks in bars, specifically the guys behind the counters, about rumors. You'll get the quest to cure vampirism and frankly it's stupid easy and sort of anticlimactic.
So guys I've played about 200 hours and I'm about to hit level 50, would anyone give a fuck if I posted a big ol' review/dissection/big set of data about my character?

You see the place is empty and yes: I wanna read it.

Well...I'm a stage four vampire and it's looking like I have to restart my game because nothing can cure it...kind of annoyed right now.
As others have mentioned, you can cure it. However, I maintain that the best solution is to become a werewolf; which overrides the vampirism and is also freakin' awesome to boot.
I want this so badly, I'm really debating weather or not I should cave in and buy it today or wait until after Christmas to buy it on Steam because I know if I buy it today it's going to destroy my social life and probably cause me to neglect school work.
... if I buy it today it's going to destroy my social life and probably cause me to neglect school work.
Ah, who needs friends anyway and school work be damned! It's worth being lonely, failing your exams and spending the rest of your days working at McDonalds just to play this game*.
* I jest of course... nothing's worth working at McDonalds, even if it's just for a day.
I killed my first dragon today. Took a while (almost 19 hours) because he kicked my ass and I just wandered in the other direction to join the Mages and Thiefes guilds instead. The Atronach Stone really helped too. I was going to use another stone but those 50 points of Magic-absorbtion are really good.
Finished it in one sitting. I don't remember it being so short.
Haha
Talk about missing the point!
That's like wanting to rewatch Das Boot but watching the trailer instead, or loading up FFVII and only playing through the opening segment until you blow up the first reactor.
Here's the thing about Elder Scrolls......it's one of the few game series where completing the main quest isn't considered "finishing the game". It's one of the few game series where even following the main quest line isn't the entire point and focus of the game. Run off and do your own thing. Level up. collect some rare and unique items you'd never find otherwise. Discover something you can only discover by exploring a remote area that the main or side quest lines will never ever take you to. You'll find whole areas with a lot of thought and care put into them (some just as much as the main quest line itself) that you wouldn't have even known were there if you didn't just go out and do some exploring!
One thing that's impressed me has been the Reach. The depth of the Forsworn is great. The letters im finding in their dens alluding to the Matriarch are intriguing.
The Continuing Adventures of St. Eddie in Skyrim Chapter 307 - He Ain't No Saint No More
So I spend 40,000 gold pieces buying the mansion in Solitude and fully decking it out. Being that I'm also Thane to Solitude, I receive a housecarl named Jordis. Jordis is a miserable cow to be sure; every time I enter my personal home, she says "I hope you're not going to cause any trouble"! She delivers these words with an undercurrent of seething hatred.
I figure that maybe I can talk to her, in the hope of understanding her grievances. Perhaps I remind her of a particularly nasty ex-husband, or could the problem be that she finds my self appointed title of "Saint" to be pretentious and boarderline obnoxious? I don't know, it could just be that it's that time of the month. Anyway, I join her at my table, where she is seated and initiate conversation.
Jordis procedes to speak of many subjects, all of which are pleasant in nature. Her words say one thing but her eyes say another. The stare with which she gazes upon me is unmistakable; this bitch was giving me the evils! Perplexed but relatively unaffected, I decide to do some unpacking.
I walk away from Jordis and her mood, go upstairs and proceed to place some books onto my shelf. However, once I finish the task; my books mysteriously vanish into the ether! I can only assume this to be one of those strange "glitch" spells that I've heard certain mages talk about. Who the guilty wizard was in this case is unknown but seeming as Jordis is the only other person in the house, I have my suspicions.
Aggravated, I decide to unwind by mounting my newly acquired fancy sword upon my weapon rack. However, the blade refuses to stay in place; it simply drops to the floor! Ack, another "glitch" spell I tell myself. Now that I'm overwhelmed with frustration, I leave my mansion and walk into town to run some errends. Upon my return, I'm greeted by those all too familiar words...
"I hope you're not going to cause any trouble"
For all of my life in Skyrim, I've lived up to my title of Saint but now I see red. Without hesitation, I draw my bow of soul entrapment and shoot an arrow right between the sow's eyes. Jordis falls to the ground and her soul leaves her lifeless body and enters my soul gem, where it shall forever remain, in perpetual torment, placed upon my book devouring shelf.
I proceed to strip Jordis' body of its clothes and drag it down to my basement and into my slaves quarters. I position her limp limbs into an erotic pose and now partake in a spot of necrophilia every full moon. Since then, I've become a member of the Dark Brotherhood and take great joy from slaughtering the folk of Skyrim and positioning their bodies in all manor of sexual poses.
Damn you Jordis, you left me no option but to cause trouble!
I finished a quest and now I have a horse I don't want. How can I get rid of it?
The bad news is that there's no option to sell your horse. However, the good news is that leaves you with a few of the more interesting options...
~ OPTION NUMBER 1: Obviously FUS RO DAH would usually be the best option for disposing of unwanted meat baggage* (preferably at the peak of a mountain). However in this instance a horse is just too darn heavy and therefore it will hardly budge a bleedin' inch under the power of your mighty shout.
~ OPTION NUMBER 2: Ride your adorable, faithful steed to the nearest group of giants and dismount. Then cast frenzy on the giants and be sure to run to away, less you wish to end up fermenting in a pot, next to the mammoth-cheese. Stand back and admire your handy work, as your adorable, faithful steed is sent flying into the stratosphere.
~ OPTION NUMBER 3: Ride your horse to a particularly murky marsh and lead him into the swamp waters. Then ready your weapon of choice and strike at the confused animal. As your long suffering mount dies and falls into the depths of the swamp, be sure to scream the following words through tears of desperation...
"Artax, you're sinking! Fight against the sadness Artax! You've got to move or you'll die. Artax, please! AAAAAARRRRTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAXX!!"
... Then walk away with deep regrets at your act of terrible cruelty and live the rest of your pitiful life filled with tremendous guilt.**
"The choice... is yours."
* Why, oh why didn't Bethesda see fit to include the annoying fan in Skyrim?!
** Or you could just load up your last autosave.
As for the Adoring Fan, Davies, his equivalent exists in the Dark Brotherhood questline. Having him as a follower involves NOT killing someone, but personally I think it's worth it since I actually like the guy and his eccentric ramblings.

By Azura, by Azura, by Azura. I can't believe it! Oh, that's wonderful news. Even more so because I've only just recently started the Dark Brotherhood quest. Could you please explain (within a spoiler tag) which character's life I must spare? Pretty please, with sugar on top?:D
It's the Jester isn't it? I haven't done the Britherhood quests but I have a hunch.
The Jester? But I did a Misc quest where I fixed his wagon outside of Whiterun! He better still be there for my Dark Brotherhood quest.:(
I wondered why I couldn't kill him when I tried. I guess Bethesda were safe guarding him for the Dark Brotherhood quest. I don't usually try to kill friendly NPCs but he was asking for a fireball up the arse... looking like that!:D
Well I kill people so I can steal their clothes all the time.
It's the easiest way to get cool apparel.
that attitude left a lot of players with an uncompleteable game in Morrowind. There was a warning but they didn't care. 20+ hours later they noticed that this guy needs to be killed honorable in a quest and since he is dead they cannot finish the main quest.
Also: I have a really hard time in Skyrim with my Dovahkitty!
(footage not of my actual character!)
Dragons just kick my ass. As does anything if I walk too far away from the starting area. Maybe I should reduce my difficulty. Or use that stupid donkey in combat. Or get a companion... But I don't want to. Because everything I achieve feels like I deserve it.

Yes but he had an almost full set of Ebony armor. Who could resist that? I could) The warnings were there (but some mods removed those) and still some players got really mad because of that.

You lucky cow you! Be sure to purchase a spare atom heart, just in case you suffer a heart attack from the excitement of playing.:p
Awesome.
I thought some type of soul gem could cure that or something?
There are several ways to help you. This here looks interesting, if you have the calm spell:
That would reset your vampiric state to Level 1 and enable you to find the cure vampirism quest.

Go ahead. Will help me out when I get the game.

That's kind of strange. I'm 67 hours and level 37. :eek:
I'm a stoned worrier... but in Skyrim, I'm a warrior/mage hybrid.
Finished it in one sitting. I don't remember it being so short.
Haha

There. I fixed it for you. Seriously the main-quest line is the worst part of Oblivion. But even that should be really hard to finish in one sitting.
I pretty much know it by heart.

So you would kill for fashion?
Absolutely, provided there's an autosave to revert back to. I'm just waiting for God to release Life 2.0, so that I can do the same in reality.
