Bethesda has given us one of the most beloved series of fantasy games ever, ones that are so immense we can lose ourselves in them for thousands of hours, but you want to punch them through the teeth for one bug. They have a good track record. They'll fix it. Want to get mad at someone for bugs, punch UbiSoft.

It has to be a mod. I always careful how many mods I use until all of the DLC content is exhausted. I just beat the main quest for Dawnguard and not even one error, only one issues with a quest item. Mods can cause all sorts of problems because Bethesda can not test with all of the mods in circulation.

The Breezehome bug described is not mod related. It's a genuine mistake included with the Dawnguard ESM.

It could be related. There are several mods for Breezehome and removing mods while starting Dawnguard with an old character could create problems. I been in and out of my Breezehome without any errors, bugs or glitches with Dawnguard installed.

And the serious ones like the Vingalmo bug? Saving your game, crossing your fingers and hoping you aren't sent to him for work shouldn't really be necessary to play the game.


Implying Dawnguard has one bug.

@KnightsOfTheNine: It's a Dawnguard bug and is not related to mods in any way.

Eh, you say it like everyone have mods.
Because you don't experience the bug doesn't mean it's not there.

The house itself is fine. If you try to buy the Alchemy Lab with Dawnguard enabled, nothing will happen. He'll take your money but the speech option will remain.

This is because they accidentally cleared some properties in the script, so nothing ever gets enabled. It's a bug in Dawnguard, you'll get it with 1000 mods, no mods or on a console, as long as Dawnguard is enabled.

Ive done several radiant quests including those for Vingalmo, never had a problem.


Its not mod related, the issue is on both pc and 360. Its a known issue with dawnguard when the player purchases and upgrades the house after installing the DLC.

I been in my house and no bugs. What is different in my game compared to his? I do have mods installed but only two so far. I don't have any installed for Breeze home. He should look at his mods but he is disables it then it would change his game.

Ah that explains it. I am already done with that quest to buy stuff for my house before installing Dawnguard. Nice another fracking bug. Guys just trying to help you don't have to flame me!

Fight Fire with fire go look at this fix. Yes I know another mod.

Yes, I use that and it works perfectly.

To everyone: Did OP say for them to hammer out all the bugs? No. He did not. Did he say he had a whole slew of bugs? Yes. I believe if he put enough time into playing skyrim that he bought Dawnguard, I believe he played Skyrim with all the bugs that were in Skyrim. If he's having problems with something medium-large bug such as the one he is having, I believe he is entitled to complain. It's true that no games are bug free, but big bugs should be dealt with. All of you that are against OP seem to be trying to get brownie points from Bethesda. You aren't helping by being an a**hole to someone who needs help. He complained and not criticized. Although if he's complaining about a bug that can be fixed, Bethesda should fix it.

I was not telling him that he should not complain. You paid money you deserve fixes, patches for the game and be able to complain. I posted a link to help him and it would fix the bug.

Bought Dawnguard.
Now I starting a new game because:
-Lots of quest broken and cannot be obtained( Grimsveir,Blood on the ice,Joining the legion,The Pale Lady,Vampire side quests and some more)
-House in Whiterun cannot be upgraded
-Camera glitches/slideshow (played on ultra before Dawnguard and all was perfect)
-Some other bugs

What can I say?Waiting for the next patch.



PS no other mods has been installed.

Apart from the Breezehome bug which is just an accidental change, there's no way what is essentially just a large mod can affect the game so negatively as you've described.

I don't understand why people say "they can't fix every little bug."

Animations not playing, freezing controls, crashes, broken quests, map markers in totally the wrong place, even for people using vanilla Skyrim.... these are not "little bugs." They are major bugs. The sort that should be solved in beta well before release.

I thought it was not possible to become even more disappointed with Bethesda. I was wrong.

I blame Console priority for this.

in the pc its easy i disable dawnguard and buy the stuff then enable again

Have to agree with OP. Pay $20 to break your game. I'm experiencing a lot of freezes and regular CTD's due to Dawnguard. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY MODS!!!!111!!onehundredandeleven!111!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!11111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!@!@!!!!!!

Dawnguard both pissed on my 52 Breton mage and level 72 Nord warrior. A lot of quest are bugged. ALOT. Had to use console commands to complete most of the Dawnguard quests. For now, I'm creating a Redguard thief, I'm at level 6 now and I'm hoping for the best. I did not encounter any freezes or CTD's yet.

Quests like Blood on the Ice in Windhelm and the Forsworn questline in Markarth have always been a buggy mess that Bethesda didn't fix.

Blame console priority for getting a game in the first place as well then.

its natural that games of the size and complexity like Skyrim have bug issues , specialy additional content. Im not a Bethesda defender or selfproclaimed lawyer...but hand on heart ...Morrowind ...Oblivion also had a fair share of bugs in its 15 months after release that you could describe as gamebreaking. It always takes time with Bethesda till you get a halfway fluid game to play.

I've said it before, and I say again:

People blame Bethesda for a "buggy" game when they should be blaming their mods and their crappy, bloated, virus ridden PC for breaking their games.

Skyrim runs fine for me, Dawnguard also has no issues, and I have 365 hours in under 4 different characters.

A game made by imperfect people will not be perfect, so wake up and come back to reality.

Now that is a stupid statement to come with. Viruses and mods are the cause of all the bugs?
I sure hope you're aware that the Playstation3 and Xbox360 users experience bugs as well. Mods and viruses doesn't seem to cause their bugs...
How about the missing textures from Bethesda's HD DLC? Those are caused by viruses and mods right?

Chances are you're not paying attention to some of the bugs in the game, and are lucky to not have the game breaking ones.
But don't be so naive to claim that because you don't find the bugs, they don't exist.

Another helpful comment from a guy whose experience of Skyrim has been "http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1405950-when-is-bethesda-fixing-dawnguard/" Funny that you should be browsing this particular forum to tell people how you don't have any problems. What exactly are you hoping to achieve here, other than griefing people? Bethesda's tendency to release buggy (but awesome) games is well-known, so it seems foolish or disingenuous to adopt the stance that these problems are entirely due to user-error just because you haven't had any. So, they have viruses and gunk-ridden machines that don't break Skyrim but do break Dawnguard? Really? That's reality? Well, good news, the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch seems to be helping some people fix their game-breaking mods--heck, maybe it's even getting rid of some of those Dawnguard-centric viruses. Seriously, you have to be a troll.
