Two games later, and I'm back to Thu'uming Thalmor.

Once again Bethesda provides a lack-luster experience that feels rushed and lacking in content. By signing the contract with Microsoft, they agreed to work on a deadline they could not control. 2K Games, as a publisher, on the whole, are lenient on deadlines and may even not make one for developers, such as the case in Borderlands. Also, they usually won't rush a developer to get a game out quickly for more money. Quality is what matters and I agree with OP; it was good but left me feeling disappointed. I blame them signing a deal with the devil, i.e Microsoft and Xbox Live. It's not the developers fault, they needed more time. I feel.

Then again, the whole deal with the Imperial/Stormcloaks was just pure, utter laziness.

What dissapoints me the most is that being a vampire is completely inferior to being a dawnguard.

Think of this like the knights of the nine of skyrim But bigger.
I think we can expect at least one massive expansion, Hoping for a whole new landmass with alot of villages and cities.

O.o

I think that the Vampires are completely superior to the Dawnguard.

But do mean on a Factional basis? Or individual character?

Not like that,it's inferior because bethesda locked content away from vampires like hiring monsters,curing that vampire chick,and a dawrven crossbow. I like the vampires but they get much less stuff than dawngaurd.

Wouldnt make sense to have crossbows as vamp, curing serana, or hiring trolls as vampire. Unless vamps had a gargoyle pin. Plus, u can summon gargoyles. Whats the prob?

I actually think that being able to (with the right item) Summon two Gargoyles repeatedly beats out having to go back to home base to resupply on trolls every time one dies.

And with the power of the Vampire Lord form itself (provided that Serana isn't with you...) says that any Followers are for superfluous reasons IMO.

Nah, personally I'll take being a VL over Dawnguard any day (night?).

A crossbow dosen't work only on vampires it's like hitting someone with a silver sword and nothing will happen because they aren't a werewolf,and curing here will make sense because you do kill her father,but you have a point on the gargoyles.

why's that?

I thought I had explained the "why" pretty well in that post as well as my previous ones.

Where was I obscure on my reasoning?

Edit: just tried to VL without serana,Didn't know they're that powerful.and what item allows that?

Lol, I thought they were weak, compared to werewolf summons, but maybe its different on adept. I believe he's referring to the rings. Or was it an amulet? I forget.

I mean 4 roleplaying reasons it wouldnt make sense 4 crossbows as vamp. Its supposed to be a vamp hunting weapon. As 4 serana, I guess u could get the option if u cure your vampirism first.

Amulet of the Gargoyle. When you use your Summon gargoyle power, two Gargoyles are summoned instead.

They are working just fine for me, they aren't the longest lasting ally, but since I can summon another two almost immediately, it's not really a problem.

They're actually damage sponges i killed like 5 guards only with melee.



Sir,I take my comment and toss it to sea.

I can't stand this argument, that crossbows don't make sense on a vampire. Who said crossbows are only for hunting vampires? By this logic you shouldn't be able to use daedric weapons because they use them to hunt you.

Not sure bout the daedric part, but I've never seen a vampire movie where the vamp was using a crossbow, the guy hunting him was. Not to say that it couldnt be different on Skyrim, but I understand why they dont have them. If thats the reason of course.
