I've been waiting patiently for the next update, but I also want to start a new character (a vampire) for Dawnguard. My question is: Will the 1.6 patch require a fresh new game start or I can keep playing my saved games normally? And Dawnguard also requires a new game to work? If not, I'll start my new character and play while I wait for the patch and DLC (damn you, Beth!)
