Bugs introduced in Dawnguard as well as bugs for the new con

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 4:28 am

So I had a previous thread about sneaking bugs that were introduced, but I decided to just list ALL the bugs I've found so far with Dawnguard, mostly involving Vampire Lords.

---Sneaking-v

-Dagger slash animation doesn't play all the way through if you're RS is pointing towards the bottom half of the screen (I.E. you're looking down). All it is is a quick little jab, and even that doesn't seem to play all the way through. Makes it hard to know if I even attacked or hit NPCs. Two ranks in One-Handed Attack Speed might have something to do with this.

-Upon coming out of Vampire Lord form and trying to crouch (Btw the animation is completely done and I'm human when I try to crouch) shows the sneaking crosshair but your character still stands up. Not sure if you can sneak like this, as I usually correct it instead of attempting to sneak while standing.


---Vampire Lord Form-v

-Sometimes if you use Vampire Sight while in VL form while it is on your favorites list, it will be removed.

-The Bats Power is useless on anything except completely flat terrain, as even if you could move over something, it stops you at a certain change in incline. Made my fight with an Ancient Dragon a nightmare..

-Changing and Reverting have a pretty significant delay between pressing the button and the actual change. This can mean alot in a fight.

-Your Vampire Lord does not get any of the resistances he should get from being a Vampire. I.E. I should take nothing from a Frost Dragons breath but it did normal damage. Only confirmed with Frost Resistance.

-The Power Bite does not always happen when holding LT/RT when an opponent is downed.


---Other-v

- Some Dawnguard Soldiers that saw me change into a Vampire Lord outside of Volkihar Castle gave me a 1,000 Whiterun bounty. (This is a weird one).

-Dragon bodies as well as Dragon skeletons can be pushed around by Absorb Life while you are a Vampire Lord. And by pushed around I mean launched.

-Even though it has infinite uses, sometimes Vampire Sight cannot be toggled on and off and gives an "Invalid Spell" sound. Waiting a few seconds after turning it off fixes this but its more of an annoyance.

Dawnguard members at Fort Dawnguard attacked me on sight when I entered, even though I'm a member of Dawnguard. I was not infected with Sanguine Vampiris. The only thing that I did was defend myself against the four NPCs that attacked me in the Ratway, on the way to the Ragged Flagon to see the face sculptor. I had to reload to a save prior to doing that to get things back to normal. I can only suspect that Dawnguard considered those murders...???

That was before dawnguard.

Also the DLC changed the fire weakness and frost resistance to 50%, so you take damage from frost attacks. That isn't a bug.

yes, they will give you a bounty in any hold if any witnesses see you transform into a Werewolf or Vampire Lord. its not really weird at all. they just don't like werewolves or Vampires in their area. (even if the witnesses are dawnguard)

They were Dawnguard Soldiers (The other faction you can join) and I was nowhere near any hold, I was outisde Castle Volkihar.

Three bugs so far:

1) "Prophet" - Malkus's body can fall into the magic barrier when killed, thus deactivating the barrier can be impossible since he holds the key.
2) "Prophet" - Dexian may continue to remain hostile (even after speaking with him), thus attack everyone at the beginning of the next quest (which I believe is "Seeking Disclosure").
3) Sorine's quest regarding making the crossbow - if you get the "misc" quest to talk to her (to initiate this quest) AFTER getting this quest, this remains stuck in your journal.

Sometimes Dexion won't become an ally after beating him and will still attack when he gets up. Going to Fort Dawnguard won't fix it and Isran and Dexion will have an epic battle. Save at the entrance of the cave where you save him.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this..

Sometimes when I switch to Vampire Lord form I can't cast any spells for a while. Drives me a little mad in the really tough fights. Eventually, after pressing nearly every button on my xbox pad :stare: , it unsticks and casts the drain life thing.

Wasn't sure if that was a bug or me failing at pressing buttons. Btw, why would you bother creating a new thread when this is already a bug list..?

I made the thread in the wrong section, originally, so I didn't see it. :P Added it to a few bug lists now though.

This isn't a list... this is someone just saying what bugs they have. It is not helpful if the OP is not keeping it updated. That is what it seems like anyway, as far as I can tell. :ermm:

EDIT: And when I originally seen this thread it was in cheats, hints, and spoilers.

I see no purpose in updating it when you need to simply read through the comments.

Because it's easier for the developers/modders (on PC) to find the reported bugs & fix them, pretty much every section for Skyrim has a bug list... I just went a head started one for Dawnguard since nobody had yet.

Since your not really interested in that, I see no harm in leaving my thread then.

Right.. Now you're just getting mad at me because I won't fix my thread up to suit your demands... I don't mind one bit if you keep your thread either.

I'm mad? :blink:

I'm not demanding anything, simply explained why having a thread with listed bugs that is updated is good to have over a thread filled with comments about bugs and that I did not originally see this thread as it was not in the bug section. :ermm:

Please carry on...
