Post here your ideas, speculation, hopes for Dawnguard and discussion of confirmed information.
Some details of existing quests might be related to discussion of DLC, so please remember to use spoiler tags when appropriate.
Note that it is a "timed exclusive," which means it will release first on Xbox360 and soon thereafter on PS3 and PC.

"Werewolves:
You get a new perk tree that revolves around mauling enemies. The more you maul, the more you move up the tree. Howard explained that Bethesda have added the tree to help werewolves keep up with high level characters. Here are some abilities spotted on the tech tree.

• Bestial Strength: do 25% more damage as a werewolf
  
• Totem of Terror: Werewolf Howl of Terror affects even higher level enemies.
  
• Animal Vigor: 100 point bonus to health and stamina in beast form.
  
• Gorging: Feeding heals twice as much health.

Here are some other abilities that are named but not detailed.

• Totem of Ice Brothers
  
• Totem of the mace
  
• Totem of the Predator
  
• Savage Feeding

That's all already in the OP.

[Lucky Girl]

Except totem of the mace, or am I missing it?

[Katharine Newton]

Not Totem of the Mace.

[james reed]

Yall are right. I didn't see it in your post W&V

[GabiiE Liiziiouz]

Fingers crossed machinima and gamestop ask so good relevant questions. NO surgery minigame or Dragon riding.

[Lauren Denman]

The interviewer actually sounds like he has played the game. Yes!!!

[Cccurly]

Oh my god. Confirmation of blocking the sun. Everlasting darkness?

[Rob Smith]

Oh my god. Confirmation of blocking the sun. Everlasting darkness?

Where?

The stream? He just said the same thing as the trailer, never said you'd actually block out the sun forever.

[Mario Alcantar]

Where?

The stream? He just said the same thing as the trailer, never said you'd actually block out the sun forever.

He said you would be able to fulfil it. Maybe it's not everlasting, but he said it was possible to change the sun.

[Umpyre Records]

He said he didn't want to spoil it but that the story would revolve around preventing or fulfilling the prophecy about blocking out the sun. It didn't sound like a confirmation to me about actually blocking out the sun.

[jadie kell]

Just a random thought... Do you think the mist form allows you to pass through ice ?

It would be sooo nice.

[michael danso]

He siad you would be able to fulfil it. Maybe it's not everlasting, but he said it was possible to change the sun.

[Lakyn Ellery]

One question about the beta testing that will begin next week. Are the people who'll get the beta keys actually allowed to post footage of the DLC and new info?

Not legally. We signed an NDA. If we leak info, Bethesda will sue our asses.

what he said.

If you get in the DLC, your mouth is shut until June 26.

[Carlitos Avila]

Armored Trolls are treated as companions and have to be hired.

Wonder how we are meant to communicate with them.

Trolls can speak English. This was seen in Oblivion http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Easter_Eggs

• There is a small bridge just past the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:The_Mouth_of_the_Panther, east-southeast of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Bravil. Underneath you will find the remains of a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Monsters#Dead. Reminiscent of the children's fairy tale "http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Billy_Goats_Gruff", you will find http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:A_Poorly_Scrawled_Note on the body, explaining its failure as a bridge troll:

[indent]
Mee wurst troll evurr
nobuddy pay brijj tole
me nott sceary enuf
mee gett drunc an kil sellf
troll droun[/indent]

They don't speak English well but it's understandable.
