So I'm about to enter the Soul Cairn as a Dawnguard memeber, and to do that I need to be either a vampire or being soul trapped (which will weaken me in the Soul Cairn).
I don't really care about how it turns out gameplay wise, but I'm really concerned what results these options will have on me and my character's story. I'm leaning against being Soul Trapped, but I need to know more about the option before I make a decision.
WITHOUT SPOILING ANYTHING MORE, can you please tell me the answers to these questions:
* If I become soul trapped, will my character permanently loose his soul (even in Nirn)? Will I regain the soul at some point?
*In what way will I be weaker.
* Will my character be permanently affected by the effect of the Soul Trap effect or will something (no spoiler) happen so that I will regain my strength and be able to enter the Soul Cairn as a living?
* If I become a vampire, will the Dawnguard cast me out or can I keep my position as a member?
* Will I be given a chance to remove the vampirism?
* Will I at any point be able able to enter the Soul Cairn without having to be either soul trapped or being a vampire (at the end of the questline maybe?)
Thanks in advance!
