I can confirm that I myself have not encountered any glitches during my time in dawnguard hehehe

Spoiler

While in the Soul Cairn, I approached Valerica from coming around the side of the castle, and not straight on up the path that leads to the entrance. This for some reason allowed me to walk up to her, but she wouldn't speak to me. I found the solution by just walking back down the front path for a little bit and it quickly updated my quest and she then talked to me, so this bug has been solved for now.

I have a very minor bug I wanted to mention. While tredding thru small ponds and knee deep water in first person mode, I noticed these two invisible "dot's" that would make "trails" in the water a couple feet in front of you. Like I said, its minor, but thought it was worth mentioning because it started to reeeally annoy me after a bit.. has anyone else seen this? I only noticed this after I downloaded dawngaurd btw.

While I was talking to a quest giver in the Soul Cairn, Serena wouldn't quit sheathing and unsheathing her weapon. Literally drawing it out as soon as she put it away.

And Serena doesn't like to stand still... maybe not a glitch or bug but she is always walking around while I'm conversing with someone... she is worse than a child!

And the bonemen block my physical attacks without showing the animation.

And i think the dragonbone mace does more damage than the dragonbone battle axe!

yeah, serena keep sheathing and unsheathing her dagger super fast... it hurts my ears
also, clairvoyance also doesnt work sometimes, like it tells you to go one way, then another

Seranna is bugged for me. I told her we needed to part ways and then after that the fallow option doesn't appear. Same if I tell her to wait

Serena vanished while in the Soul Cairn. Poof, like magic. Did not return.

I had a major glitch the first time i played it. Went back to original save four times and the same thing happened. I finally turned off my xbox and took the disc out and it worked fine when i turned it back on.

When i first approached fort dawnguard all of the dawnguard immediately attacked me. Then none of the npc's anywhere else in skyrim could speak to me. I could move about but literally no one could speak. as noted, this happened four times.

there is a lot of bugs man, but if you try saying anything about bugs people kick off.

Speaking from experiance ofcourse.

She was just locked underground for too long. ^^

Serana follower bug for me. Had a graphics glitch in one of the early dungeons too, had what looked like a layer of black powder hovering mid air. Pretty easy to trigger too, I made it happen a second and third time pretty much for lulz.

You realize there is a seperate forum for this, yea?

I ran into this issue too. Had to reload a save twice because I told her to wait and the "Come with me" option wasn't there when I went to pick her up.

The quest "Touching the Sky" is broken for me. I can't enter the Inner Sanctum (Infinite Loading screen)

Update: I fixed the issue by fast-traveling and coming back.

^Oh crap....I'm about to start that quest......that better not happen to me.....

Fast-traveling away and coming back seems to have solved the problem.

My vampire character's (which is 100 on heavy armor, one-handed, and block) shield is invisible when it's equipped. I can still block/bash with it but it doesn't show on my character's arm. I tried dropping the shield and picking it back up but same thing. The same character as a vampire hunter (made a save right before

Spoiler

meeting Lord Harkon

) with the same shield has no issue.

It's an Ebony Shield that absorbs 60% of shock damage and is favorited so that I can switch quickly to magic spells on that hand via the favorites menu if that matters.
