I'm not sure if anyone created a post for reccomending ideas for what could be improved in Dawnstar yet, but here is one I've started. Now firstly when I say Dawnstar Reccomendations I mean changes/additions you'd like Bethesda to make that would make the actual gameplay better, not a bug reporting thread. Secondly, I'd like people to try to avoid suggesting the same changes as someone else, just say I agree with "whatshisface" five posts back or whatever.

One thing I don't like is what you get at the endings of the quests in terms of followers/rewards. Under the vampire questline the only follower(human anyway) you can get is Selana and for a certain last big quest, you go out yourself to kill a certain group of people while certain unamed pests *cough feast in your halls sitting on their pale asses. Basically, you get no power as one of the most feared vampires in Tamriel; my suggestion? Allow the player to give general orders to his respective side after the last quest like to focus on recruiting, hunting, expanding influence, etc. Another thing I'd like are a few generic vampire followers that maybe represent some of the races, currently not available as followers, possibly even a Snow Elf who follows you around, impressed with your piety and wielding of a certain weapon. He/she could be a vampire on one side(a certain accolyte or a survivor) and a recruit for the Dawnguard on the other. Finally, I'd like customization options for the castle you live in at the end of your respective quest, anything from guards around the exterior, to walls, kennels, banner options for your new empire, etc.

I'm looking foward to seeing other ideas on here.

The only thing I want is for the random vampire attacks on cities to become quest triggered, like how you won't get dragon attacks in your game until a certain quest

^^ That. When I first started Dawnguard I found a dead master vampire and thought I had killed my quest giver.
