Actually, I say that killing vamps is WAY harder than killing Thieves. Thieves don't level drain you, and they don't require plus weapons to hit. They generally have a slower attack, less hit points, and don't move as fast.

Go thieves.
Yes, you don't get to kill Renal Bloodscalp and loot his boots of speed, but instead you get 3 thieves in chapter 6 as cannon fodder for the bunch of vampires you have to kill anyway you play the game. And the vampires aren't tough, you just lead with a fighter/druid wearing the amulet of power and really good armor - like full plate & a great magical shield. It's even better if they can carry something which messes up a Vampires' day - like Azureedge. I finished the Ch3 Vampires when I was L10, it was a piece of cake. Of course, the thieves would have been a cakewalk, too. ------------------ WizWom - Wandering Kernel of Happiness |

REASONS TO SIDE WITH THE VAMPIRES:
powergaming: you get the same items, and as already stated, a few cool ones you can't siding with the thieves combat: every battle has its "how to"; battling a few level drainers is no harder or easier than lots of hasted/backstabbing thieves; different path, same outcome: you win moral/ethical: how aiding a thieves' guild could be considered "good" is a joke. you end up wiping out the vampires anyway. story/fame: listen carefully... you wipe out the biggest, baddest, most powerful thieves' guild this side of waterdeep. are you kidding? that's an entire chapter in amn's history books! the repercussions of this are many and immense. |
