Dawnguard is annoying :\ : V - Skyrim

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 3:15 am

If your not having problems why come here? just to nag and insult people who are? I don't get it, be happy your not getting the bug and enjoy your game, that's what I would do if I wasn't getting vampire attacks way on the other side of the map in a city that i am not near.

Exactly, if only the people who feel one way speak up then the game would be altered even thought the people who feel the other way disagree

If you think this thread is annoying and whatnot, then why post on it?

Perhaps to fail to make some friends.

By the way Vampires have also ruined (my) Riverwood. I still wonder why i bought this one. I wonder if people also need quickfix where Bethesda staff works, perhaps it's some kind of new cult - The fix ones or whatever.

Tsk Tsk...TES still has the better games than any other RPG series out there and people only burn them...weak

I don't got the vampire problems, but now after installing I can only play for about 2 hours at a time before game crashes. This is why I stopped playing until a patch.

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 4:50 am

I said this in another post, that Beth should make the guards at the front gate essential to vampires only that way they just patch the game itself and not have to worry about patching or losing money on a dlc.

Agreed If people were not having essential NPCs killed off and it was limited to guards only, then this thread would not have been started in the first place. Drake would it really ruin your experiance of Dawnguard if the attacks were limited to the guards only? Because from what I'm seeing the way it is now has wrecked it for others and thats just sad.

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 6:29 am

its all a question of frequency and magnitude

Im at level 22 with my current character, and have had an entire ONE attack at level 7, and the guard smacked them down no issue. One. Time. If you fast travel to the middle of town, its a well known fact that it will happen more, if anything, THAT needs to be fixed, not the attacks in general.

» Fri Nov 16, 2012 4:44 pm

Wrong. I started a new character specifically for dawnguard, I had absolutely no attacks for weeks. Infact i didnt see a single attack until I was a vampire lord and I was level 15 or so. Now Im level 40 and had plenty of attacks of both DG and vampires. Total numper of NPC's killed = 3. Those three are useless anyway, as they are the slaves around the markath smelter.

Not a single other NPC has died on me, with the exception of me having to reload once in whiterun when adrianne got attacked without me noticing it the first time. Other than that its been easy peasy. 171 game days in with this character on dawnguard.

Still dont see the problem.

I know right, be observant, and it isnt a problem, act like a squirrel with ADHD, then well, you will have problems.

Essentials are only people that are there for main quest lines, such as the DB, thieves guild, civil war, so on and so on, vendors are not essential considering there are vendors in castle DG and Castle Volkihar now.

Fine but aren't you just knit picking? The point is that some people are having problems when they needant have, telling people that it's not a problem when it obviously is for some probably feels like a slap on the face to them. All I'm saying is that it could have been avoided and there would have been no fuss about this.

Yes but your not discussing about the game only, your also talking down to people and that is where things go off track. discuss and have your opinions but to say people are dumb because they allow this to happen in their game is out of line..I'am not saying that's what you said but i read it in here somewhere, just to be clear

No, its just the truth, and the majority of the people that are having this issue are people that fast travel into the middle of town, and this can EASILY be avoided by fast traveling to a location right outside of town. I dont FT at all, play on master, and had my first vampire attack and ONLY attack on the gate of whiterun and the only casualty was ONE guard. Woot. And to be honest very few people are having this problem, its a tiny minority. They will not remove it, just like they will not remove dragon attacks. Ive had vendors get killed by dragons, so what, they should remove dragons too?

Thats great for you, I'm happy for you, but now your telling people that they will have to change the way they play the game and it's there fault that it happens to them????

Its no different from the player ignoring a dragon attack and letting it decimate a village. Its down to the player to stop such attacks, if they dont the consequences are theirs and the fault lays with them.

Exactly.

What do you people expect

Dragon Born : OH HEY THERE ARE VAMPIRES OVER THERE! LOOKS LIKE THEY COULD BE KILLING PEOPLE! :: continues shopping, or goes to sleep ::

2 hours later

Dragon Born : Why are all these people dead ?

:blink:

I sprinted down the length of Windhelm entry bridge to try and save the stables but everthing was dead by the time I got there and no amount of quick response was going to save them, the game would not let me run any faster, and so what it was only the stables anyway but I can quite clearly see how this kind of thing can happen.
Of course if you sit around ingore a dragon attack you get what you deserve, no problem with that.

Go to menu, reload auto save, fast travel to stables, fight vampires, problem solved, you see what I did there, I switched my noggin to the on mode.

That makes playing the game so much easier! What a great way to have to play games all the time, reload this that was wrong reload that because that was wrong, I see where the adventure game is it's exploring all the save files.

I was doing that quest for the Volkihar that takes you to Dragonbridge, and not only did a Dragon appear and cause a ruckus, but three Dawnguard agents stormed into town.

Both the Dragon and the Dawnguard then, through sheer ill-luck, managed to kill the people I needed to talk to.
Thankfully I could still progress, but it was very annoying.

Actually come to think of you have just admitted that it's a problem because your now finding work arounds for it!

I had that problem. I was suppose to go around asking guards about well you know to avoid spoilers and a Revered dragon decided to ruin all that by killing most of the guards.

Yeah, I was unsure of how long it takes for guards to respawn, so I just wandered around until I found the new area.

First piece of misinformation: as many ppl report attacks that don't fast travel as do....myself included
Second piece of misinformation: show me ANY proof that it's a TINY minority....fact no one knows for certain how many ppl are having problems with it.
It's also not just when entering cities I've had attacks spawn when I've exited dragons reach, how am I supposed to know there's an attack going on at the main gate. I've also has them spawn after exiting a shop..
As for the arguments "I've never had it happen so it doesn't exist" have you ever seen Antarctica in person? So that means it doesn't exist right??

At least the PC players will be able to download mods like Populated Cities. With a bit of luck the generated NPC's will get killed 1st :tongue:
