"You are born of blood and violence....

While traveling the long and lonely roads to the city of Baldur's Gate, you were accosted by a bandit with deep red eyes and found yourself dropped to the ground with an icy cold bite on your neck. As day progressed you found yourself growing hungry and before too long, you were unable to control yourself and fed on a poor pilgrim heading to the city. Now you can feel your true nature.. You are a Vampire and you are starting to hide in the shadows because of the sun but before you were able to pick the lock to the inn off the ally; you saw a black shadow fall, tentacle flash in front of your eyes... where are you now?!?"

Vampire Infecta lets you start as a vampire from the beginning by choosing the Trickster Hedonist background, regardless of class or race. It's a balanced alternative to the author's more powerful Vampire God Expanded mod, with 25 endorsements and last updated in September 2024.

✨ Key Features

Start as a vampire from the beginning of the game by choosing the Trickster Hedonist background.
Works with any class or race.
Designed as a more balanced version of the author's Vampire God Expanded mod.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Balanced vampire start—no god-mode nonsense, just a fair challenge.
  • Works with any class or race, so you can be a vampire paladin or a vampire mage.
  • Small but dedicated following (25 endorsements) and still updated as of September 2024.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 25 endorsements—this is a niche mod, so don't expect a huge community.
  • Requires picking a specific background, so you're locked into Trickster Hedonist for the vampire start.
  • No detailed documentation or feature list beyond the basics—you'll have to discover the mechanics in-game.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who want a vampire playthrough from level one without the overpowered cheese of other vampire mods.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to pick the Trickster Hedonist background during character creation—that's the only way to trigger the vampire start.
  • Since it's a balanced mod, expect to manage your vampirism carefully, especially in early game when you're weak to sunlight.
  • If you're using other mods that alter backgrounds or vampire mechanics, test for conflicts—this mod changes starting conditions.
