Boy it sure feels good to be an immortal. Why not just become a vampire instead?

Vampires are overrated
Trade out becoming a bitch to a demon to becoming a bitch to other vampires and it's the same.

>Lose most of your emotions and ambition, become a husk of yourself
This already happened to me. I have nothing to lose by gaining immortality in addition.

Liches are vampires with depression instead of chuuni syndrome

Bringing back that stupid "the phylactery must be fed souls" caveat makes this very much the case.

When you are an INT 30 high elf with absolute contempt for everything, becoming a lich is just the logical next-step to fulfill your plans.

Would an elf skull be identical to a human skull? I don't think differently shaped ears would leave any indication on the bone.
You could try for Baelnorn, but that sounds about as much fun as being an immortal light house keeper, honestly.

Probably different enough, but if you are a REAL lich you can reshape reality around you, you can have your skull look like whatever you want.

Not if you're smart about it. You don't think your could craft a contingency to kill your sire with the same effort it takes to become a lich?
>>55287951
Wouldn't it be easier of you just clone yourself/craft qt 10/10 flesh golem(female) and soul jar into it?
>>55287951
I assume that would work out, though if there is a vampire prince and organization you have to pay tribute to then you'd have less freedom than a lich. Liches are essentially neets that spend time alone in a comfy tower or dungeon. Occasionally you get food delivered in the form of adventurer souls.
