While in the vampire playthrough, you dont get a single main quest to attack the dawnguard?

And that the vampire armor, hood, form, and everything are accessible from a dawnguard playthrough? Yet the dawnguard gets specific spells and such that vampires dont.




This one was just a general disappointment. After killing Harkon, everything continues as normal. After his death it was anticlimactic. You're technically the lord of the castle, but no one even refers to you as lord. The only thing that changed in any way was Harkon is gone. I didn't really feel like the hero, the savior at the end of the game. Nor did I feel like the ruler of the castle.

People had that complaint about killing Alduin too, it just seemed like nothing happened. It reminds me of when I played one of the fable games and used a wish to bring everyone back to life. I never meet any of those people, and all I got was a statue. I just sat there thinking, thats it? And got mad I didn't bring my dog back to life lol.

Apparently Dawnguard was rushed as much as vanilla Skyrim, maybe even more, otherwise many aspects like the ones you mentioned would had make more sense.

Harkons boss fight was epic.

haha honestly my harkon boss fight was bugged!!! When he died, he just stood there, and regained health, and never moved. Just sat there regenerating...

So I had to reload and kill him all over again.



There were a good amount of holes in the logic that many people have already nit picked at. But this could have been done better. At least give me a ceremony to pass the leadership to me or have Molag Bal congratulate me or some crap lol.

Not disappointed at all. Dawnguard is brilliant.

Well good for you

I still expect many people to enjoy it. But a few people were actually really turned off by some things. I'd say I enjoyed it 50/50. Minus the plot holes and the few things I didn't like and the dungeons, a new story was something as was becoming a vampire lord, although I still haven't maxed it out.

You don't like the dungeons?

haha the darkfall cave annoyed me cause it took me a while to get oriented, and when I finally got to the top while fighting a falmer I fell through the crack back to start. So it just annoyed me. I had a mod to let me teleport to whereever I could see and I tried to cast it before I fell, but it didn't work. I just fell twice lol.

I personally preferred the dungeons of the vanilla game more.

I'm more annoyed by that. You can get the side quest to destroy the dawnguard. But I have yet to get that side quest yet. I'm also annoyed by the fact that I can't get the vampire hood, but I can on the dawnguard side because its apart of one of their sidequests . Until then I'm stuck with trying to find the damned Mysterious traveler and see if he has one.

I love Mysterious Travlers.. they are the one and only reason I ever abused the Resto-potion tactic with enchanting.. because I FINALY had a set of unenchated black hooded robes, black cloth gloves and black cloth boots and could thus make a black mage outfit. Anyone who's ever disenchanted a warlock robe knows that without abusing the system a bit the enchant you can make for it is crap.

He doesn't; he wears a black bathrobe with hood and a pair of sick vampiresque gloves that shouldn't be missed!

I still haven't met the mysterious traveler.

Damn. Vampire-esque gloves you say?

Instantly upon killing harkon, my game ctd. So I got double the epic fight.

I would have liked to have been told I was lord of the castle, had the mess cleaned up, and actually get ownership of it...at the moment, it doesn't feel like I'm king of the castle, even though I apparently am the only/last male member of that vamp bloodline, and knocked off the top dog in the pack.

I did feel that the dlc was not quality controlled as well as it could have been, but overall it's a good dlc, relative pricing notwithstanding.

Yeah Dawnguard is pretty flawed but still enjoyable and since Dawnguard is their enemy, yeah i'll just call it major disappointment i felt more like a errand boy who collect stuff rather than doing something meaningful.

I really enjoyed Dawnguard the writting , game play and quests are all very well done. My fight with Harkon and the Snow Elf were epic and really made me work for it, but then I was playing a mage who never wore armour only robes.

I loved the expansion but not being able to marry Harkon's daughter (I haven't picked up the game in over a month) and a few other things were just disappointing. It didn't ruin the expansion for me but it made it obvious that the beta was a marketing gimmick and not really used to fix anything or they chose the worse beta testers in the history of beta testing.

The vampires have a drain life spell that is unique to them. It's not all that great, but its unique . You can also get those Dawnguard spells as a Vampire. You have to be crafty to get them, but it's possible.

If I recall correctly the dialog around that event revolved on Serana taking over. Once Harkon was downed I do believe that Serana became Lord of the castle but was having so much fun adventuring with you that she decided to keep the party rolling....so long as you were still into it.

What I gathered about Alduin was that not many people knew exactly what you were doing, and those few that knew didn't really understand. So the enormous concept of traveling to Sovngarde and defeating The World Eater is completely lost on most; which explains the lack of Pomp and Circumstance.

But that's just my point of view

after killing harkon a vamp came up and said i was the leader and left. serana said she'd see if they'd let her stay at the castle. that was my ending lol

I don't remember seeing any scripts referring dragonborn as the lord of the castle. You are only a half breed. If anyone is the lord, it would be Serena or Valencia, the pure vamp lords. As you know you aren't even capable of spreading the vamp lord disease, therefore just another tool.

You are able to spread the curse, there's even quests involving just that.

About being lord of volkihar castle i really wouldn't know since i haven't quite finished the vampire side, but you couldn't become the leader of dawnguard either, they just kinda stay here. Also about Valerica, Serana's mother being the lord (lady actually) of hte castle, going to her back in soul cairn and informing her about Harkon's death is purely optional so i don't see how that'd be possible... i mean, you can just choose not to talk to her and who's the lord/lady then?

Do you guys mean the fricken Nazgul-like Vampire gloves? Because if so there awesome.

He says you are the new master and we all bow to your power or some crap like that.

Vampiric drain I just remembered, if you're dawnguard and become a vampire then you get it anyways.

Ah, well....I stand corrected.
