Dawnguard is quite fascinating, Elder Scrolls lore-wise!

First of all, I won't spoil anything regarding Dawnguard here. I'm a die-hard Elder Scrolls lore fanatic. While Dawnguard has it's fair share of issues as DLC (Bethesda being Bethesda after all), I find it quite fascinating that the lore that Dawnguard explores, introduces and (re)visits it quite fascinating. It goes way beyond a simple vampires vs. Vampire fighters storyline. I find it much more intriguing than the main story and lore of vanilla Skyrim. I would recommend Dawnguard to anyone interested in Elder Scrolls lore and the overarching themes and events of the series as a whole. As a DLC, Dawnguard is nowhere near as awesome as Shivering Isles was, but lore-wise it packs quite a punch. What do you guys think?

Hm for the Vampires in no way, on the nordest Point of Tamriel lives a cliche Vampire club, on a roamnian castle....lame.

I think I feel a little happy someone else invested thought into the story instead of drooling stupidly for 6 hours then writing it off as Underworld Skyrim Edition. I like both the Dragonborn MQ and DG MQ, and feel they both have the same depth, which is nice. Not as big as SI, but much better than KotN. The lore aspect, especially in a certain cave, was really amazing.
