I want to be cremated specifically because of this reason and because once when I was a kid I saw an episode of some Sci Fi show where a guy dies but death was just a state of consciousness but you don't breath, can't move, you just sit there and are.

So why aren't there any vampire scientists in fiction*? Whenever someone becomes a vampire they enter lives of either intense aesthetic decadence or self-imposed exile. Most humans have to spend practically half their lives to achieve mastery of a single discipline. A few centuries-old polymaths could accelerate scientific advancement to an incredible rate.

I have a similar fear.
I try to calm myself by recalling the embalming process.

that's silly, cremations are harmful to the environment
now let me tie a weight to you and throw your corpse in the ocean where it will rest at the bottom of the sea for ever and ever and ever

There was a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode or something like that, a guy "dies" but is aware of everything, all the people talking about him, seeing his own autopsy, hearing his "friends" say how he was murdered.
Right at the end as they're about to cut his head open and he's freaking out he suddenly starts screaming and moving and it turns out it was a big practical joke played on him by his coroner friends, they injected him with a paralytic.
They all have a laugh and then he has an actual heart attack and dies except death is actually like that AND you can feel things which he realizes as they actually start to cut his skull open.

I found them a bit easier than those other fuckin things. That one city was completely overrun with them. Can't recall their name...
Deathclaws?
Yeah, deathclaws are harder. But I found them to be more easily avoidable. Yao Guai have sharper senses and roam the countryside. So I'd get jumped by a pair of yao guai pretty often.
I also played a sniper and deathclaws will just sit there and eat bullets if you're sniping from far enough away. Yao Guai will start pathing towards you.
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Deathclaws were easy to avoid and you could kill a loner pretty easily. Otherwise, just stay the fuck away from that one town and you're okay. Random Yao Guai attacks were a constant fear for sure.

If you get the friend of animals perk, everything but Deathclaws will ignore you, and actually fight for you if you get attacked.

For me it would just be that I'd rather keep a lower profile, if you did some super science other people might catch on that you are not dying like they are. Plus with ultra science comes the chance for easier methods to do you in.
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
guys if you think you'll remain sensate after death shouldn't you be instructing your loved ones to at least prop you up in front of a tv or something rather than rushing headlong into the experience of having your body consumed by fire?

Shadowrun had a couple of them. They seemed to like to tinker with the virus that causes in hopes of creating super vampires.

That last part applies to humans just as much as vampires, if not more.
And yea, I was thinking more in the settings where vampires are more prevalent and/or their existence is known.

My favorite part was when they hung him on the meathook in the body cooler next to a bunch of other corpses.
