Is it just wishful thinking that I will be able to disappear into a swarm of bats?
Turning your followers into vampires would be awesome too!

[Steven Hardman]

When is Dawnguard being shown?

[Angel Torres]

Anyone have a clue on where this landmass will be?

No you can do that. Not sure about turning followers into vampires.

Ooops.. you're right... I should have watch better...

Between Solitude and Markarth

I at first was in denial of this, but I actually pulled up a skyrim map side by side and figured out that, like the map of shrines in KotN, the rivers are drawn very innacurately. But it's unmistakable.

That said, this raises the question of just what a map of that Region is supposed to signify, because I doubt the location of those two strongholds to pop up out of nowhere.

Yup and we could see that map as a hint for showing their opponent position... It clears up my mind... At first (because it sound the same maybe (dawnguard)) I thought that Dawnstar would take a proeminent part about the area where the actions would stand.

[Nicole M]

Im so psyched for the new DLC and a chance to get in Beta would be amazing, I really am looking forward to the story line with Vampire Lords and Vampire Hunters. Watching the preview and them discussing about it on G4 was awesome. Im interested in whats going to be on the werewolves talent tree. What are everyone elses thoughts on the DLC?

[Alexandra Louise Taylor]

Probably better to discuss it in this thread. -> http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1379322-new-dawnguard-info/

you miss about the trolls.

No i didn't. The troll thing was in since the first thread.

[I love YOu]

No i didn't. The troll thing was in since the first thread.

NONONONO Imagine LEGIONS of trolls under the dawnguards command, purging VAMPIRISM from TAMRIEL!!!

Yeah, I love when that happens

[Bonnie Clyde]

Hmmm I just noticed something while playing Skyrim. Did they change the names of the months or something? It says Heartfire, not Hearthfire, I'm sure it was just something that was overlooked/a typo, but it makes me curious about the next DLC if it was done purposely...

[BEl J]

Thank you for adding the info to the OP and crediting me Gheart.

[Joey Avelar]

That thread is locked.

It wasn't at the time. I don't even remember posting in this thread anyway. I must have posted in the wrong thread or maybe another thread was merged with this one.

[Laura Elizabeth]

I have a question. I watched the two interviews today when they were posted online afterwards, and I don't remember hearing an answer to this question. Does anybody know whether Todd Howard explicitly stated whether or not there will be a new land mass or just new locations within Skyrim? Or even whether the Soul Cairn would be an entire landmass, a handful of locations or even just one location?

I think Soul Cairn is definitely going to be a landmass in a new worldspace. It's a realm of Oblivion, after all.

As for the areas for Castle Volkihar and Castle Dawnguard, it's not clear yet where exactly those would be located. As Point Lookout was mentioned as a reference point for the size of the DLC, my guess is that there will be a new Tamriel worldspace area added in addition to the Soul Cairn.

Apologies for any confusion about that. There have been quite a few new threads popping up today about general Dawnguard information.

Cool. That sounds good to me. If that turns out to be the case, I would be quite satisfied.
