Well my character is an aspiring Vampire Lord but he is very territorial and dominant. Because of this he will destroy Dawnguard after he learns how to transform into a Lord. But after he is done with his destruction he will turn to the rival Vampire Clan that taught him this power so he can spread his own clan across Skyrim. Anybody doing anything similar or hope we have that option?

I would like that. But I don't know if thats going to be an option.

I sure hope so, neither side appeals to me, so I prefer to play it solo. Of course, it probably won't happen because Skyrim is almost completely black and white, and most NPC's are essential.

If you don't like either side, then why bother with the DLC at all? Save for crossbows.

No because of two words Armored trolls

I like Skyrim.

I made a new character to "join" the dawn guard an be a vampire. But my current character will destroy them all. I'm not sure which side I'll do first though

Vsions said he was killing Vampire Lords and Armored Trolls with his Werewolf. So maybe we can destroy both sides

I want a mod for NPCs to just not be essential, like I would like to actually wipe out all the imperials or stormcloaks instead of their invincible camp leaders:/

Edit: not a mod, an update of sorts. Mind you I'm on Xbox

My mage has some strong darkness themes to her, with her keeping to the shadows mostly and launching magical amubushes (would be even better if Runes weren't so gimpy...). Vamps really work for her. However, to her, anything that impedes her desires for power is merely an obstacle in her path, and obstacles are meant to be removed. So, to be honest, it'll depend on the Vamp faction. If they're in her way, she will end them.

At the same time, she likes to keep out of trouble. She won't go looking for it. No reason to make obstacles forherself, right? Only thing I really hope for is first person vamps...

Also, what about Vamp illness? Will that impede becoming a vamp lord, or will it stack and add on to your power? If I can, I may go ahead and get vamped up in anticipation. Still, gonna wait for the Xbros to beta test it for me so I know what to expect. May not wanna do things that'll impede with that questline...

Well I heard that all vampires are getting an update. Vampires will probably be the same, and as you go through the story you add the transformation. At least that is my guess.

Matt said the regular vamps already in the game are getting a new look

I wonder if there will be a Vampire Lord or two in some of those Vampire Infested Caves. I remember them saying that Vampires will now be one of the toughest enemies to fight. I am looking forward to that...

I'm fine with just draining the Dawnguard mortals of their blood.

All I want is Vampiric Grip... I want that in Human Form, but I doubt it will happen. Vampire Lord looks OP and I love it...

Yeah but I want them to be very rare if that will be the case. If its too much of them then they will lose their Image and become just another enemy

I hardly ever see Vampires. I doubt that they will be more apparent in the Main Land even after the expansion. It is always a treat to find a cave of vampires. Like finding M'aiq the Liar, only to a lesser extent. I hope they are as powerful as we think. I want a real challenge.

Not if I reveal your treachery to Harkon!! After that we will spill your bloody guts muahaha!!

I'm not so sure about that, they hinted more vampires being abundant after you block out the sun. Also it would be silly to have this huge story to block out the sun but not implement it in the game when you do it. If they dont then that whole plot line is null and void because even when we blocked out the sun we really didnt block out the sun after the fact lol

I will probably opt to not block the sun simply because I like day time... Down the road I will have a truly evil vampire that will do it, but it doesn't fit with my RP. I would hope that they become abundant when the sun is gone. And friendly towards me haha

Wait.... The regular vampires are going to look different? That would be awesome.

I never heard look different, but I did hear that they are getting an upgrade along with yourself.

"Additionally, all of the vampires we have in the game we went back and added a new look to them, new abilities, we mixed in some new creatures. So this is an overhaul to vampires in general, even if they aren't on part of the story on Dawnguard." I think its safe to say that vampires will be 'tweaked' a bit.

Good to know It would be nice for them to look more menacing.
