So... yeah. It almost seems as if she is hitting you over the head with it. I was curious if with Dawnguard, we ever get a mission to kill her, or if I just killed her outright, would she have vampire dust on her? What do you guys think, vampire or no?
Also, on a completely unrelated note... did they patch how NPCs wake up when being attacked? I was hitting this adept mage that was asleep in bed and he popped out pretty quickly. I recall the last time I did that, the NPC got out of bed like it was 7:00 am on a Monday morning, i.e. reluctantly.
