my opinion is, vampires are not exclusive content, they are present in most TES courts and political maneuverings and I'd like to be able to meet some and recognize them if my character is a vampire as well.
If only we could have gotten this for Dawnguard... But no. Instead we got chaotic stupid Harkon and a cheesy, overdone plot. I get that the Volkihar are supposed to be 'barbaric', but still. You can be 'barbaric' and subtle at the same time - how else are you going to survive for a thousand years?
What happened to devious, manipulating, scheming vampires? They were mentioned in Oblivion. Where is the mystery, the subtelty?
If a hypothetical new vampire DLC would bring us more of the same that DG brought us I'd rather not have it made. At least the perk trees, weapons & armour and the locations were nice enough, I suppose.
What I would
really like is for said hypothetical vampire DLC to be more than a pretty package which quickly deflates upon closer inspection. An intriguing story, with scheming and subtlety. Not more of those shallow gimmicks that aggrandize the player (oh look! I'm a hero! I'm awesome!) which don't add any actual depth to the game and are employed to hide the lack of substance.
