Well, since Vampires and Warewolfs go to hell or cease to exist when they die, I'd rather be a zombie since it wouldn't really be me anyway. That and it would be easy for the people I know to be safe around a zombie.

normal people just cease to exist when they die also
 
Vampire by a longshot. Eternal life, other than a few possible mishaps.

Zombies smell and are too obsessed with fresh brains to get any ladies.

Werewolves are too hairy and are too obsessed with eating human flesh to get any ladies. They also rarely remember what they do. OTOH, I suppose the forgetting part isn't too bad, certainly would cut down on guilt and there's the added benefit of having a relatively normal life between Full moons. Another advantage is who is going to actually believe you are a werewolf and use a silver bullet to take you out? hmmmm

That's the thing though, you really need to know which lore you're following (seriously, could this get any nerdier?). You have the Underworld style where older werewolves were able to control their transformation and remain cognizant. They're also immortal.

Some of you certainly are trying! 😛 😀

Good point though. Perhaps we need other threads to agree on what the actual attributes of each are! 😀
 
No contest. Vampire all the way. Zombies' are brainless grunts, smell bad, and have horrible taste in food. Werewolves are powerful, but in wolf form, they are unable to control their actions, therefore, that power is useless. Vampires got class, got powers, and get all the ladies 🙂

The sunlight thing would be a bit of a drag, but I've always preferred the night anyway.
 
Well, you have to remember that going by Dracula vampires don't actually die from being in sunlight - they just get weaker. All in all though, I'd rather be a werewolf. Werewolves get the healing factor that makes them immune to permanent damage by anything but silver - you can come back from just about anything. With a vampire or zombie, if you get an arm ripped off or get an eye gouged out, you're stuck being maimed for the rest of your immortal life.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with ShadowKnight on this one. Plus, as others have said, Underworld lore shows that older Werewolfs can control their powers, so at that point, you'd basically be invincible...in retrospect of just seeing X3, you'd be kinda like Wolverine.
 
I guess it would depend on where the lore is coming from, but I think I would go with vampire. In some lore, vampires get healing factor and in some lore werewolves are immortal just like vampires. I don't think I'd want to be forced to change into a big, hairy beast to utilize my powers, though.

I'd rather be a big hairy beast than a skinny goth hmfg.

Vampire. But only if Kate Beckinsale's my mistress.

Hell yea that's what I'm thinking.

First off, they're all pretty much immortal, but vampires get all the hot chicks. Zombies fall apart and brainless so rule that out. Werewolves... I don't know, vampires are just cooler after Underworld.
