What's the purpose of a dark form?

Hey guys, I've been wanting to know if you could have a vampire without having a dark form and once I got the game I was glad to find out that you don't need one. I was wondering what the purpose of the dark form is. In the descriptions it said it's use to hide that you are a vampire and allows access to your powers. When you do select a power to use you do in fact go into your dark form first, but if you delete it you don't go through one and just use it immediately. I have speculations that maybe if you have a dark form you won't do random hissing and nobody can discover you are a vampire without you telling them. Does anyone know if this is true?

I like having the dark side, this way a vampire can look as nasty and menacing as their player wants them to be, yet, looking as good in their non-dark side. I really hope that when EA comes out with witches, they will do the same for them as well.
Nah i think its more like to have dark form fot your vamp.

or you could give your sim one form, and no matter the powers your sim will look one way doing it all.
I think When i create a vampire, he's going to have his Human Form, but also a Demonic form. and At some point I'm going to kill off his Humanity and be 100% Demon

However, if you want to play a game where vampires are completely normal, just don't give them a dark form and dress them however you want.
A lot of people say that the vampires are heavily inspired by the show. Though I haven't watched it I do thank the show for bringing the best vampires we ever had. I understand that we don't need the Dark Form, but I was wondering if they are special other than looks. All in all I am happy people got what they want, I will be using the dark form for other sims though.
Now you can watch the show!

@Jestina I'm so glad someone else knows about Vampire the Masquerade!
When I finally get this pack, I intend to make a household of Vamps to reflect a few of the different clans by allowing them to basically only have powers and traits that were more dominant within said clans.
That's what I'm doing too! I'm creating a few of each clan and building them with the appropriate traits and powers. I've even been searching for lots that will suit the clan members and I found a cool asylum for the Malkavian and some gorgeous grand mansions for the high clans. There are some city slums for the Brujah and a variety of graveyard parks with underground lairs for Gangrel and Nosferatu. I'm having a blast with it.
For some people, they like the type of vampire that can look like a normal human one moment and then the next it looks like a demon or something. Making such a vampire wouldn't be possible without a dark form, thus it's there, but completely optional for those that simply wanna look like an edgelord 24/7, or those that just wanna make Edward Cullen and finally be together.
Do Vamps in TS4 have the ability to keep their dark form? If so, do you use the "normal" form of a Nosferatu as a type of obfuscate ability?
I'm looking forward to the possibility of them releasing a Witch game pack, downloading a hybrid mod and going to town creating Tremere clan members! *fingers crossed*
Oh, and of course, they need to release a Werewolf pack so our Vamps will have Lycan enemies!
You can make your vampire have his or her normal form look just like their dark form, there is even a copy button that allows you to make the two exactly the same, if you choose too. If they do come out with the Werewolves, I really hope they look like the werewolf statues that is in the game.
Do you know how epic it would be for werewolves to not just have a weird hairy version of themselves but a giant werewolf form! It would be awesome if you could choose to just be hairy or actually be a beast!
The copy button only copies the normal to the dark, though, unless I'm doing it wrong
All born vampires will have a dark form and I don't think you can get rid of it, but you could as others have said, just copy their normal look (for each outfit) to the dark form in CAS so they never look any different when they spin into dark form. When you create a vampire in CAS, I think you can choose whether you want to have a dark form at all or not.
