Official Dawnguard Trailer is up : V - Skyrim

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:34 pm

This is a dream come true for me, finally vampires are cool again instead of being just some annoying template. Also...crossbows! So great they are included again after all the whining about them, now folks will hopefully shut up about Beth not listening.

OH MY GOD!!!!

Every now n' then I get turned off this game for around a month or two, then play it for a month, but NOW THIS!
New character time!!!!

If I'm not wrong, it's about vampires wanting to use the Elder Scrolls to shut down the Sun?

Really original, I LIKE it!!!

Yes, but I hope we won't be forced to make the entire second DLC in darkness in case we chose the Vampire (or werebats) side...

Whoaa...

That trailer was pretty sick...so pumped for this....I hope this time around they focused a little more on the story/characters/impact on the world

I have never been so excited for vampires and very glad all that is in.
Combat on horses it seems *or able to swig weapon XD*
Crossbows
Vampire abilites like turning into LORD form *??* drinking blod while standing

I....I want NOW!

Any idea how many MS points it is gonna be or how LATE in Summer its gonna be?

Hi TzToppDogg! You doing great?

Indeed, it is as cliché as cliché gets. But let's wait for the final product. A lot of its creative success depends upon execution. I'm not impressed thus far but can be persuaded otherwise. Since we'll be getting a number of DLC packs, let's hope Betehsda spends their cliché bullets on the first one or two items and saves their best creative juices for last. Biu I do have to agree, this first seems dangerously beaten cliché.

In a game about swords, dragons, and magic, vampires vs. vampire hunters seems cliche to you? Lol open your eyes.

Normally after we finally get info the forums are filled with hate for a few days.

I have only seen a few whining so far, otherwise it seems lime an overwhelming YES!

Thank you bethesda!

Mounted crossbowmen? Late-medieval FTW!
Also: Killmoms is here! :blink:

Actually I don't think it is easy to come up with an original concept nowdays, even less so in the fantasy genre. As long sa it is fun and interesting I can forgive a cliche setting.

I hope it will include new house. Also would be epic if you could become like a master vampire with op abilities :biggrin:

And for the guy asking the price : Its 1600msp. Who would like to see double crossbows? I would.

HI theere Werewolf&Vampire! Glad you dropped by...seeing how your alias befits the thread!

Cliche? Like prophetic hero trying to save the world? or Dragons? Please.

So you're saying Skyrim was cliché as well? Just one cliché after the other? Anyway, it could still be fun to play if one gets past the dejá vu aftertaste. What bugs me is thtat this kind of falling prey to clichés doesn't bode well for the storytelling, ostentatiously one of the weakest links in Skyrim.

You know I was kind of worried after seeing the game jam vampire lord. I didn't like how the thing looked with the wings, but I do have to say, congrats Bethesda you changed my mind on the vamp lords, they look simply epic in this. Also, was that a dragon flying into the water? does that mean we might be getting under water combat and bosses?

U noticed the Vampire leader stand beside a statue of Molag Bal , as he made the vampires, he might be involved somehow.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:25 am

I'm almost 100% sure that its BOTH Solstheim AND Cyrodil, or just Bruma.
But Cyrodil is defo there
And i think the voice oever is MOlag Bal, aswell as his statue AND the emblem on the guy's armor.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:37 pm

this looks.... EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC. if you can turn into one of those vampire flying things then i will join the vampires side

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:03 pm

I hope the next dlc involved Lorkhan and the likes of the Dwemer.

I hope the 'evil' faction will have some lore backing aside from the stereotypical 'evil and hate the sun' that vampires get.

More specifically, I'd like to see the Dawnguard being Stendarr worshippers and the evil faction to be Molag Bal cultists.

This.. I really, really hope there is strong lore for this one as well... It's one of the reasons many people, especially long time players of TES, love TES.
It will be insanely dissapointing if it's just a stereotypical evil vs good thing...
Even more depressing is if the quests are like the Thieves guild........... Do 57349857983457x generic side quests to unlock a proper quest.....

I don't think it's easy either, but in TES lore that's at least....unexpected. And that's good enough for me

Hard to knock your arrow with full hands.

hoping for castle dawnguard to be a new home for the player, with upgrades and everything.....aaahh, my very own castle :cool:

I actually looked like we can go to his realm. they had that glowing platform which looked like it led to his frozen world (cant remember its name)

How can you tell?

Btw can somebody start screencapping the most interesting bits? Some of us are on phones or at work.

Funny how it is referred to as an add-on rather than DLC, probably because DLC comes with so many negative connotations these days.

The trailer has me sold, Skyrim is a great game and I would happily pay for more. Still not touching The Elder Scrolls Online though.

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 9:24 pm

So ... if you join the vampires ... you get to put out the sun ... thus ruining most all life on Skyrim. Um ... cool ... I guess.

I was really hoping for some form of vampire what wasn't a Legacy of Kain ripoff.

Curious as to how finding the Elder Scrolls will fit into finding them during the MQ also.
