I made a trailer anolysis for the Dawnguard trailer on my YouTube channel. I cannot tell you just how I am excited about the DLC/add on/expansion pack. (Yeah I am a big TES fan.. my whole channel is spammed with TES content)
Anyway, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm6r5jv6Wzw
Feel free to correct me on anything that I got wrong. I felt confident enough to do the anolysis without any major research, because I wanted to get it out as soon as possible.
Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

http://uk.gamespot.com/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/videos/skyrim-dawnguard-trailer-anolysis-6379478/ did the same thing...watch and compare!

PATHETIC video anolysis by Gamespot.
I stopped watching when they said “Is that a Scroll Holder? A new Staff?” *FACEPALM*

Did they ever stop to think that maybe THATS AN ACTUAL ELDER SCROLL????

These 2 jokers obviously know nothing about the Elder Scrolls and obviously did not even complete the main campaign.
No wait. You didn't even need to complete the whole campaign to know that THAT there is an Elder Scroll. Sheesh!!!
Gamespot really made a complete fool out of themselves this time.

Trailer detectives my ASS.

EPIC FAIL!

Oh WOW! I feel so good about my work after watching this
I have the benefit of being a TES nerd though, but they still didnt do their homework.... :/

I wouldn't expect most of the people who have played Skyrim to have played any previous TES games. Shame Skyrim isn't as lore heavy as all the others.

Dude, if you did the Skyrim main campaign, you will see an Elder Scroll.
You didn't even have to complete the whole campaign to see one.

And its not something that has a very common model.
It has a super unique 3D model that no other item has. And you WILL NOT MISS IT when its first shown.

Those 2 jokers have NO RIGHT to make a Skyrim DLC trailer anolysis man. They didn't even play Skyrim i think. Seriously WTF!

I think its funny how many "anolysis" videos and threads are coming out while people are complaining about the add-on being spoiled before PS3 and PC players get ahold of it.
In my opinion things are getting spoiled faster and faster. Take Diablo III for example. Its barely week 3 and there are no secrets left. People beat Inferno and found the secret level during week one.

The reason all these anolyses are so funny is with all the speculation out there people will probably guess at the right answer and therefore spoil the entire plot BEFORE RELEASE.

Yeah. But that's all unfortunately,

there was an elder scroll in Oblivion. Final quest in thieves guild you get to steal one.

i remember that but you dont see it getyting used.... also how many elder scrolls are their...

Btw, nice vid anolysis Shizno. Funky accent. Are you japanese?
So cute the way you said "Yea, So, Yea" at the beginning You must be very excited about the DLC Trailer reveal

Its interesting that you also speculate that the location is north of Winterhold which i agree upon.
Very sharp of you also to notice a ghostly figure that popped up when that spell was cast. Yea i think its some sort of life detection too.

Nice anolysis.

The main things i noticed i your youtube video is.
a- That "vampire bursting through the wall" seems to be a gargoyle coming to life/ breaking its casing if you look closely.
b- The kill straight after that seems to be a falmer, but with some wierd "tribal" paint on him, oh and there seems to be an enemy behind him, Falmer with allies?
c- the "vampire troll" seems to be a frost giant

also has anyone else noticed how the crossbow bolts seem to have floating nowhere near the body, i am just being picky now and im not pointing out the of my nit-picks for that exact reason. And the vampires "transform" into bats they seem to exlode into fire and blood, not a good thing for a vampire to be doing

-edit- I don't think anyone knows how many elder scrolls there are, or even what they properly and you need to be blind to read them properly. Possibly could explain why they need fiery burnt eyes.

Thanks for the response guys. To adress couple things:
I did later speculate on that monster being a giant.
The falmer like creature probably is a falmer, because Snow Elves were mentioned in the leaked DLC file names :/

I am more interested in that purple world/realm though. I have speculated, that it could be nocturnal, because she is the Mistress of Night or Darkness and vampires would obviously love that, but someone said that it could also be Molag Bal, because vampires worship him. I have considered that, but I think that it cannot be Molag Bal, because his realm looks identical to Tamriel, except its on fire and its destroyed. So what do you think? Someone also said it could be Namera.

It's obvious if any Daedric Prince was involved that it'd be Molag Bal, he created vampires and the realm we see in the DLC trailer does look rather destroyed and ruined.

Molag Bal. At http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PjBSicSVqI&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLyWTbcjzNsNH8A8aFwy73VQ&t=24s that thing looks like that shrine you got the Mace of Molag Bal from. And there's those Markarth and Solitude symbols when he looks at the Elder Scroll and sees a map, so if it's not a map of Tamriel it's at least some place similar (Dragonsreach is in the game, so stuff DOES happen in real Skyrim). But you're right, the sky doesn't really seem to be on fire, and I doubt anyone in Coldharbour would bother to bury the dead.

"Molag Bal's plane of http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Oblivion is http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Coldharbour. The book http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Doors_of_Oblivion says that his plane resembles a copy of http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Nirn, including the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Palace, but desecrated and ruined. The ground is sludge, the sky is on fire, and the air is freezing."

Nice anolysis! Dawnguard looks amazing, can't wait to get my hands on it! Two new factions? Count me in!

As a side note ... Gamespot desperately need people who'be actually PLAYED Skyrim to cover the game's news. Not that I've ever thought very highly of Gamespot, to be honest.

Good video.

I've noticed (and I'm sure others have in other threads) new armor, weapons (crossbows), capes (the first character with the Elder Scroll). One question: at 5:35, is it a new bow and a new type of arrows? I never use Daedric arrows but I guess it could be that. But the bow seems new to me (could be wrong though).

EDIT: nevermind, you answered my question in the video seconds later. lol Should have watched a bit further.

About the Giant troll vampire you said ...

that's a Frost Giant from Bloodmoon ....

And in the thieves guild in Oblivion game you get to steal the Elder scrolls if not wrong ...

Good to see someone else shared my opinion watching that stupid video.

Definitely Markarth and Solitude on that map image. http://images5a.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp635%3B9%3Enu%3D879%3A%3E94%3B%3E258%3EWSNRCG%3D353%3B3%3B9592349nu0mrj

Hope the link works.

Also, on the vampire transforming into cloud of bats. Could that possibly be a death animation for that type of vampire? So if you are playing the Dawnguard side and you kill one it explodes in a cloud of bats and fire? Seemed there was fire involved in that transformation.

I dont think it was a death animation as them bats seemed to be heading somewhere.. unless when you kill the vampires they head back to somewhere else and reforrm.. perhaps its only one boss-like guy who does it.

I dont think the realm is nocturnal's, i think the purpley look is what there art choice was for anything dark & magic

Excellent vid, Shizno! And I love your accent!

You know what I would love though? If the Dawnguard were like proper vampire hunters with crossbows (Van Hellsing style). Someone said that they are werebears though and he said it, because he has a "hunch"
I was thinking about that and the Bethesda game jam did show a were bear didnt it?

At 00:49 in the trailer
Look at the dead fellow on the ground. I think he's a Vigilant of Stendar
-He's hands are behind his back (tied?)
-Wears a Stendar amulet
-Steel Nordic Boots (commen Vigilant apparel)

I would love to have the Vigilant play a part in this.
