[Idea/Request] Vampire Player Character? [Mild Spoilers]

Well, thanks to BGIIEE, we have not only a class for vampires, but even a means to walk under the sun.

As a massive vampire buff, a table-top player of many years, and so forth, I think it would be great to have the option to become a blood-sucker youself in the game. I have to admit, the lore of D&D has never particularly drawn me in, and I need extra hooks to string me along. I remember when I first heard about the character Bohdi, and party members being made into vampires, it was what inspired me to buy the original boxset years back... only to discover that it's played for a questhook.

I waited for years for a mod to come around that would have the option; the closest we came was Valen, people citing that it wasn't feasable.

Now, however, to coin a phrase: we have the technology. Or more aptly, we have the resources.

It could be handled in any number of ways. Perhaps aiding Dragomir, rather than being forced to fight him, and it leading up to becoming a vampire after a short questline, and a quest to make your own cloak, or not (since you could always simply be restricted to night-travel. Perhaps convincing Hexxat to turn the PC. Or even killing Hexxat, keeping the cloak, and then being the one turned by Bohdi.

I plead with anyone with the means and know-how. This has been something i've been hoping for, for so long.

Hell, even an option to simply choose Vampire as a starting race upon character creation would work from a roleplay perspective. Perhaps Bohdi was allowed/made to turn you, as a means of preservation and to amplify your physical attributes.
