Grief does this to you. i lost Pavo to the forsworn. I made sure he had a fitting funeral.

Posts like the OP saved me some cash. Such a shame. Dawnguard looks like a fun dlc too. Lets hope the next DLC doesn't have random attacks unless you can trigger it like dragons in the main quest. Weak NPCs need an overhaul as well instead of attacking powerful hostile vampires and creatures. Let the guards and dragonborn handle it instead of getting in the way.

Me too. Wasn't that interested in vampires anyway. I'll buy Hearthfire, and I'll buy Dragonborn when that comes out.

What I find bugged is how they are hostile to me even with my vampire character which makes no sense and add more frustration to the Dawnguard soldiers already attacking me. At least if you join the Dawnguard you only get Vampires attacking you.

my adriane avenicci is dead and left the ashpile there wich never disappears, belethor is dead all of a sudden and no ashpile, I dont care if they kill everyone just they should make merchants immortal or replace their place as shopkeeper with another npc when they die, who wants a useless building and a lifeless town?
