I was going to call this article 10 Vampyr tips to stop you sucking at sucking , but this doesn t reflect my experience with the game. As you ll have read in Alec s delightful Vampyr review, the act of drinking blood is a wicked temptation. It s the quickest way to slurp up XP and lower the combat difficulty, but comes at the cost of depopulating the world of potential stories and causing regions of the map to sink into enemy-infested chaos. It s better to stretch your non-slurped XP as far as possible then, so I m offering advice about surviving with as few necks bitten as possible.
