I am wondering about this because I have two characters that are level 81 and still I cannot imagine if after all the work it took to get those two characters up into the level 50s (before i found the Oghma Infinium glitch) if I wont be able to unlock the cool perks that are coming with dawnguard for both the werewolf and the vampire. I will throw my Xbox against the wall if I cant. Can anybody help me out?

I think level won't really matter because im sure I saw something where it mentioned to gain perks as a vamp lord you have to use soul rip and collect souls to gain perks. Same with werewolf only devour hearts.

The two new perk trees are unlocked by experience, not by perk points. Leveling the skill is the same as unlocking the perks.

yes you can because the new perk trees don't require perks from leveling up.

You just need to maul the crap out of everything and you'll level it up.

yes i saw it on a test magazine otherwise you can be stuck if youre at highest level ( thats dumb )

Yeah brah, you earn perks by using the skill. I love that they are doing that for vamp/werewolfs only as it wont stop you becoming a great beast out of fear it will gimp your character. If I had to use my regular perk points to make myself a vampire lord I probably wouldnt want to.

I really wish this DLC would raise the level cap

Well this is hugely disappointing to me. I was hoping I could raise the skills through use, thus raising my level past 81.

Man it hurts me when I hear people say they used the Oghma Infinium glitch . I actually got 81 legit sigh...
