LIMITS LIMITS LIMITS. RESTRICTIONS. The more we have em the better the cRPG experience in my view. (up to a point...of course no need to drink every hour, toilet etc...).
Thats why we have different : Classes, Spell systems, Races, Weather, Types of monsters. Different kinds of items. D&D game rules. Thats the core of what a RPG is all about imho.
What makes a Vampire interesting/atmospheric? They CANT be out in daylight. They CANT use certain items. They have REQUIREMENTS for blood. They have a certain LOOK. They are scary.
What makes a Vampire just another boring <whatever> creature? Remove all those restrictions. They are funny now.
The more "freedom to do whatever and everything" because its <convenient> the less interesting, atmospheric and blend/boring the game quickly becomes.
