Oblivion GOTYE vampire bug?

I am thinking about getting this for the PS3 but keep reading reviews about a vampire bug for some quest where you become a vampire that has no cure and ruins the game forcing you to play at night. Anyone can confirm if this is true?

If you become a vampire you can still go out into the sun so long as you feed on someone everyday

So becoming a vampire is optional? The reviews I read were indicating that you are forced to become a vampire for some quest midway through the main story saying if you sleep at an inn, you will be bitten overnight or something.

This happened to my girlfriend, she was playing Oblivion in order to finish the game before picking up Skyrim. She fell asleep in a cave and was bitten not knowing you could cure it right away with a simple cure, it wen all the way through and she became a Vampire. This has ruined the game for her, she tried to cure it found you cannot cure it due to a bug and has stopped playing it entirely.

The fact is it is always optional, if there is a quest that requires it its possible to play the entire game and never run in to it heck the only time i ran in to something like that I had the option to choose not to be one and still finished the quest. just be cautious and carry cure disease potions with you.

Good to know. I hated becoming a vampire in Skyrim despite the Necromancer glitch I've seen players exploit.

One more question, I hear the leveling system sucks as the world levels up with you making it pointless to level up. Did they patch this or is the faulty leveling not really a big deal?

whatever reviews you read are wrong. becoming a vampire is optional and as long as you feed everyday, you can still go into the sun (quick tip if you decide to become a vampire in oblivion, there is a homeless guy in the market district of the imperial city that you can feed on when you need to and you don't have to worry about guards because he sleeps behind a building where guards hardly patrol). none of the main quests or side quests force you to become a vampire. the vampire bug thats in oblivion is during the vampire cure quest and it basically screws up the quest and never lets you finish it so you are forced to stay as a vampire. note that this glitch only effects the game of the year edition or any oblivion game that has the shivering isles dlc
