BoD solves a Vampire Problem that had bugging me for a long time.
Spoiler Warning!!
First of all a question to you kind reader. If you had the choice to become a Vampire, would you take it?
I know that I would under cetrain conditions, first ís that I don't need to kill humans and can atleast live of animal blood or blood donations (even though the ladder would not be favourable).
Here is where we come to the problem I've teased in the title. Why are vampires reluctant to turn you even if you want to be turned?
The obvious answere is "to save your soul" or some bs. The real reason could be competition. Those answere were never satisfying, I'm thinking of "What we do in the shadows" where Giliermo had to beg and beg for season never to get turned. A far better answere is what BoD did. The turning process involves risks, you could become a full vrakihr, a Dawnwalker or even worse a blood thirsty mindless monster. It seams like the last option is that most likley one going by how many of these malformed vrakhirs we see in the game.
This creates an interesting dilemma, a vrakhir who has successfully become immortal can I either risk turning their loved ones into mindless monsters or live with them until they either cut ties or die of old age.
This aspect is so much more interesting and really sets the "curse and blessing of immortality" in focus.
