Well in some vampire stories I read or played with in some games, the vampires there were actually living creatures instead of undead ones. Meaning, they could have children, don't have the sunlight problem (as much) and other stuff like garlic. Also silver is the standard weakness for werewolves not vamps =PSacorna wrote in a review:
The vampire theme is a joke, at the start of the game you read about vampires and that everything that is a tradeoff for their powers is not here. So sun, garlic, crosses and silver? No problem, so all they have is the thirst if you want to call that a negativ.
And if two "vampires" have a child it is born human, sure that makes total sense.
For example in Elder Kings (elderscrolls mod for crusader kings) when a (human) vampire ruler has a child with another (human) vampire, a human will come out. So it's not that unheard of that 2 vampires beget a human child. It's also logical if you consider vamprism a uninheritable disease instead of a race. (Like in the elderscrolls; its vampiris sanguinaris which is still curable even if one is transformed into a vampire)
In the novel; Vampire Slice of Life, the vampires are actually living creatures as well. And only the vampires with low bloodline purity are the ones with weakness to sunlight etc.
In vampire the masquerade, the vamps are much more like the stereo-type vamps you'd expect (weakness to sun, garlic, crosses, undead etc.)
It depends all on the author, how the author perceives vampirism in general. Some see vamps as undead, some see them as living bloodsuckers. I don't mind either as long as the story is good
