Anyone else like to see something about the Forsworn in future DLC? I really enjoy them. I couldn't get enough about those guys.

It would appear that the vampire perk tree has been unveiled. Not sure if you guys have seen this yet or not, figured I would go ahead and post it:

Power of the Grave: 50 bonus points to health, magicka, and stamina
Vampire Grip: A Force Pull style ability that allows you to pull distant targets toward you and choke them
Summon Gargoyle: Conjure up some help in battle with one of these menacing monsters
Corpse Curse: Paralyze your foes with this magical blast
Detect All Creatures: A vampire who wants to live long should stay aware of his surroundings
Mist Form: Turn yourself into an invulnerable cloud of mist while regenerating your health, magicka, and stamina
Supernatural Reflexes: A slow motion style ability that allows you to move quickly in for a kill while the enemies move sluggishly
Blood Healing: Killing someone by biting them restores all of your health
Unearthly Kill: Night powers and Blood Magic cost 33% less
Poison Talons: Melee attacks deal 20 points of poison damage
Night Cloak: A shroud of bats feed on enemies within melee range

Aww you ninja'd me on the perks.

Maybe they will do the same
For us wolfs?

Though the press does tend to ignore us.

Edit: I get what blood magic is, but what are "night powers?"

Good question. This is the first I have even heard of it.

So if you choose Vampire Lord then crafting Dragonbone items will be blocked off?

Lycans have their own perk tree in Dawnguard, it was revealed on either Game Trailers or G4, I'm not positive, but I think it was G4

I think I found the reason why Bethesda has kept the Dawnguard faction on the down low. It is because the big secret is that they are either werewolves, werebears, or they are the Order, or the leader is part of the Order, and he is manipulating all the humans into killing the other vampires so that the Order is the top vampire clan.

:o

Mind blown. I doubt dawnguard are werewolves but if they are the order?!? Other vamps?!?

Power hungry vampires vs manipulative vampires?

Now THAT is original!!! I like it.

And to the post above, i was referring to the fact that the vamp perks were described. I knew about the werewolf perks, in fact I am the guy who made the screenshots.

I was wondering if wolfs would get their list of perks explained.

And lycan still sounds like a type of plant to me, :) I call em wolfs or werewolfs.

One thing that I find rather intriguing is that Todd Howard said there will be some werewolf stuff rather than outright saying that they are getting a perk tree of their own, but won't reveal too much of the tree at this time. I'm a little confused as to whether or not "some stuff" was in exclusive reference to the perk tree, or if there is something else going on in that department in terms of new content. I'm willing to bet he was simply just referring to the perk tree as the some stuff, though. We'll have to see.

From what I've seen, the vampires have every advantage. I'll have to join them I guess.

I'm a little puzzled with the trailer. I'm really excited about the cross bow! I hope I get selected for the beta.

Cheers

This whole things seems quite geared to one faction or the other, maybe it's a closed off plot and little else in response to the criticism Radiant Story received. Or are there loads of details and side quests yet to b revealed? 10 to 20 hours seems shockingly short to be mentioned in the context of the Elder Scrolls, could that just be to complete the main story arc?

The Dawnguard have to get an epic mount. seriously this looks really lopsided.

Todd implied that there will be other content not formed around the main quest.

I wonder if being infected with the Lycanthropy disease(werewolf) will affect or prevent you from becoming a Vampire Lord............

I think at one point someone asked about Snow Elves, and Todd would not confirm or deny and just said that it was a big DLC. My impression was that there probably is something to do with the Snow Elves and that he just didn't want to say anything about it yet. Of course we don't know for sure, but I think there is a lot of stuff in the DLC that they have not discussed yet.
