The soul goes to Aetherius, a realm of spirits. They are not destroyed.

Real world physics are different from Nirn, they do not apply where magic and dragons churn about. And actually, patching up the sun will basically remove a very large hole from mundus. Which is better than the dawnguard's option. Magnus's whistle will no longer allow as much aetherial magicka to seep into mundus, a bad thing to some, a better option for others. The streaming amount after such an event should be equal to what the ayleids harvested within their wells, smaller but still prevalent. For the stars will still be within the night's call, as they are smaller rips into aetherius. Giving those few mages left some source of power.

All life would definitely not be extinct. The aedra operate independently from Magnus's gate, the sun. Kynareth will still be around, Arkay will still be around, Akatosh will still be around, Dibella will still be around, Mara will still be around, Zenithar will still be around, Stendarr will still be around, Julianos will still be around. They support mundus, as long as they are still around, all will be alright. So the argument of 'no sun, no life' is as void as Sithis.

At the end of the day, Harkon is doing justice for his people and in turn killing for them. Is this so different from the Stormcloaks or realistically any faction in Elder Scrolls (including yourself). My character has killed 1,500 odd people and as such isn't exactly an arbiter of morality. The Stormcloaks started a war because of one God, a God everyone still worshiped despite the ban, the Dominion kills for racial purity and everyone else has their own reasons, it could be argued that survival of your people is a bit more of a reason for killing than God or purity.

What I mean though is that I hope Harkon presents himself and his faction as moral even if you choose Dawnguard and I hope he isn't the typical sort who would attempt such a thing. I realise what he's doing is hardly right but he does so for the betterment of his people and the protection of them in relation to prophecy. The Dawnguard on the other hand kill his people in cold blood. Surely curing a Vampire is what would be moral? I see to much assumption that Dawnguard are the 'good guys' and find it hilarious that anyone could present themselves as 'good guys' whilst playing a game such as this.

This was more in response to the amount of rhetoric I see about 'Vampires' being posted as though they're inherently evil and the Dawnguard are saviours.

No. In Oblivion one of the ways to become a vampire is to let a vamp feed on you in your sleep.

That's irrelevant! Skyrim vampires follow entirely different rules. Though of course the vampire faction you can join in the DLC could be of the Oblivion kind.

They are the Volkihar... so no, they aren't the cyrodillic kin.

Being undead and svcking blood hardly qualifies you as evil though. If the sleeping person has given his/her consent there should be no issue what so ever. You're just being racist.

Do we know that for a fact? Only seen the trailer, can't recall it being mentioned there.

There may be different types of Vampires in TES. But they all infect the same way.

They are diseased beings who shouldn't be allowed to spread their filth. What if you met someone infected with a life threatening plague? Do you simply let them go about their lives?

The function of the Sun is still not fully understood. If the sun only serves as a portal to Aetherius and allow magic to enter, then why do farmers only farm outside? Would it not be smarter to keep crops secure? It all comes down to it being a game, while having well established and thoughful lore, alot of it contradicts eachother, which is expected with a series of this size with this much lore.

You can feed on people for eternity without them being turned into a vampire. In Skyrim the only way to get infected is overexposure to the drain spell. And vampirism is rather a blessing than a curse/plague. Eternal life is quite different from a slow torturous death you know ...

As for your question about plague victims: We quaranteen them. Some make it through, others don't.

This isn't a topic of gameplay, it's a topic of lore. You get infected the way you do in Skyrim becasue it is a gameplay mechanic. And if feeding turned people in game it would be wwwwaaaaayyyyy to hard to do as a developer.

And a question to the TES vampire lore buffs: Aren't the Volkihar just a tribe and essintially the same vampires as any other vampire?

We have little information on the Volkihar. The only "source" was "Immortal Blood". While the Cyrodiilic vampires stayed true to their lore, the Volkihar seem to be getting a makeover. Of course, we do not know if the vampires that serve Harkon are the Volkihar. It is implied since the Castle they live in is called "Castle Volkihar." Only time will tell. But vampires are different when it comes to unique powers and abilities. People believe the current vanilla vampires are NOT the Volkihar because of their unique ability to blend in when well-fed. Something that is given to Cyrodiilic vampires. Not to mention Movarth Piquine's apperance and the implied Vampiric worshipers of Clavicus Vile.

But you just called Molag Bal evil...it ties in with the subject of his creations and his dominion. But you are right to a point, we shouldn't go there.
No problem .

I find it amusing how you drop in a thread, write a few words and leave without continuing to discuss, even when proven wrong. Do you enjoy trolling around or is it a hobby for you? .

Your logic is skewed. Just because something that is neither dead or alive doesn't make it "evil". Why don't you search up the definition of "predator?".Or better yet, a "aspirant troll". Leave the conversation for the grown-ups, .

Vampires are evil

Very presumptuous and ignorant of you to state that as though it is fact.
