» Sun Nov 18, 2012 7:02 am

What are the benefits of both sides and which do you suggest doing?
(I need help lol)
Can vampire get the cross bows?

Vampire Lord gets you Serana as a companion, that was enough for me to do the vampire quest line first. =P

You get a crossbow at the start of the DLC...so yeah.

>_>

Vampires can get it.

Definitely Dawnguard, you cannot make your own CBOW bolts if you're a vampire.

Apparently you can still become a VL even if you join the Dawnguard.

Vampires can get the regular steel crossbow but cannot forge the crossbow or make bolts.

You also get Serana as a companion with the Dawnguard.

You also get:

Dwarven crossbow
Armoured Troll companion
Armoured Dog companion
A room in Fort Dawnguard
Explosive crossbow bolts
Ability to make and upgrade normal and Dwarven crossbows
Ability to make crossbow bolts both normal and explosive
Various Dawnguard companions

I would rather be with the Dawnguard if i could be a Vampire Lord. Unfortunately i don't think you can

Serana offers to turn you into a Vampire at the end of the MQ

you can be a dawnguard vamp lord, you just have to say no to harkon and you'll get a chance to be a vamp lord later while working for the dawnguard

well, so what your saying is being a vampire lord isn't good enough to choose it over Dawnguard or what?
I need to know the benefits of becoming a vampire lord first persay. Like do I still get [censored]ted on in the sunlight or what?

Very few people have maxed out the VL skill tree since you have to kill people with the powerful drain life spell to get xp in the skill tree that lets you choose perks.

People are waiting til they can do that before they say if its better or not.

But IMO..its cooler than what the Dawnguard has but thats just me.

I also like the new model they gave the Volkihar vampires..though supposedly if serana turns you instead of Harkon you get a different appearance...normal form not VL..VL prolly will be the same.

There is no dwarven crossbow just an enhanced version which is twin it just neglects armor.

False there is a Dwarven crossbow, and an enhanced version of it.

So Dawnguard is a biased and clear winner then?

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 8:02 pm

Definitely Dawnguard, you cannot make your own CBOW bolts if you're a vampire.

But with the power of the Vampire Lord, why do you need a puny crossbow?

Vampire Lord, all the way.

Can someone list the unique pros and cons of both as far as is known? Particularly, what UNIQUE things do you get from VL?

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 11:46 pm

Definitely Dawnguard, you cannot make your own CBOW bolts if you're a vampire.

do u get gargoyles with vamps

Yes.

One of the VL perks is to summon a Gargoyle. If you do the radiant quests, you get an amulet that allows you to summon two of them at once.

you are able to summon them as vampire lords
ninja'd :dry:

So, I did go save that vampire female and I did let the guy make me a vampire lord, so we'll see how this works out for now...

Dawnguard gives you both Vampire Lord and Serana, in addition to a plethora of other things. It hands down has more perks overall.

Dawnguard gives you both Vampire Lord and Serana, in addition to a plethora of other things. It hands down has more perks overall.

But if you become a Vampire at the end of the Dawnguard quests, if you should lose a troll or follower during combat, you can't get any more because the Dawnguard get very unhappy with your decision.

See, people keep saying this but I was already a regular vampire before Dawnguard so do the Dawnguard cure you or just accept a vampire to kill other vampires?
