I am doing a dead is dead run on my character. I want to play Dawnguard early - but never have played it before and not sure what to expect. So will my character die? Heavy armour dual-weidling Khajiit. When would be a good time to attempt to "deal" with this DLC? I know Beth suggested it's for level 10 and above, but do they expect you to be able to handle the threats at level 10 or is that just when the quest(s) become accessible?

If I were you I would wait until you flesh out your character a bit more. But if you want to, go ahead.

And, uh...this should probably be in the Dawnguard General Discussion.

Depends on your difficulty level.

Edit: Why is this in Dragonborn?

Oops; guys, I totally meant to stick this in the Dawnguard forum. Why I hit Dragonborn, I don't know. Could be the three hours of sleep I had today.

Also meant to say I play on Expert.

3 hr. of sleep isnt good.
You should get some sleep.
Instead of playing skyrim all the time.


You can. But you wont be a boss at it.

Alrighty, thx. I'll wait a little longer then.

Level 10 at expert will be a challenge for sure, but I'm not sure if that would change until you get to level 30ish given how the vamps scale.
