*S.P.O.I.L.E.R.S.*
Yep. A Fallout staple is to piece together information yourself. Holotapes, or trying to figure out what's true given four or five different word-of-mouth accounts, etc.
It's not done as well in FO3, but the earlier titles were heavy on it.
In any case, they are not actually vampires but have, for some reason, developed an instinctual cannibalism. Vance, for some reason, felt it would be best to use the established vampire 'chic', since vampires are typically feared rather than just disgusted like a flesh-eater would be. Essentially it was mostly a psychological thing, I guess both to cultivate a sense of worth and to ensure those outside the group came to fear them for safety reasons. Luckily, blood alone is sufficient for them. Apparently.
This works out well for you if you decide to broker a deal with them. Or you can just murder all of them, that's fine with me, too.
