So if I join the Vampire's instead of the Dawnguard.. Is it still possible for me to get hold of a crossbow as a Vampire?... Also what is this about joining the Dawnguard and still being able to turn into a Vampire as an option?.. If so what kind of Vampire is this.. Is it still able to walk around in the day time without sun damage etc?..

Please inform me on all of this as I'm so confused hehe thanks! x

Edit: Also how do I join the Vampire's over Dawnguard?.. ! (I think I found it.. The Awakening quest?) ! <3
