In Oblivion Remastered, vampirism is described as a condition that becomes more severe if you go without feeding. The guides identify sunlight exposure as its main practical drawback and point to Raminus Polus at the Arcane University as the starting contact for the main cure quest. Exact stage timings and numerical effects are not established by the available Remastered-specific sources.
How vampirism starts
Secondary guides say vampirism can begin after contracting Porphyric Hemophilia, including through encounters with vampires. The available sources do not confirm every way the disease can be contracted in Oblivion Remastered. For the reported route and symptoms, see the PCGamesN Vampire Cure guide and Gamer Guides’ vampirism guide.
What vampirism does
It grows more intense without feeding
Guides describe vampirism as a progressive condition: going without feeding increases its intensity, while feeding reduces it. The sources do not establish reliable Remastered-specific stage intervals or numerical bonuses, so treat exact timing and stat values you may see elsewhere as unconfirmed for this edition.
Sunlight is the main practical drawback
Sunlight damage is a central reported penalty, with more severe effects at later stages. PC Gamer also reports restrictions on waiting or fast travel while exposed; these details come from a secondary guide, not official documentation confirming current Remastered behavior. See PC Gamer’s vampirism guide.

The available information comes from secondary guides rather than an official Remastered manual, developer explanation, or patch note. It supports the broad pattern of progression, feeding, sunlight penalties, and a quest-based cure, but not exact stage values, damage numbers, timing, or a definitive list of infection routes for the Remastered edition. Do not assume figures from the 2006 original apply unchanged.
