i just wanted to know if u have to be a vampire in skyrim before u become one in dawnguard and is it worth it.

I think you should be what you want to be. If you are truly intent on joining the vampire lords, then I don't see why not. You have to take care in feeding though, else you risk getting caught by the guards. There's also a fire weakness involved

If you seek a great wealth of dark powers than become a vampire. Otherwise, get rdy to beg for mercy when my assassin comes for u!

Heh, it's always typical of monsters to underestimate humans. If the Nine are with us, who can stand against us?

Thats what im doing. its part of my char. story. im a young vampire then i lust for answers to unlocking my true power, t cant find any, until i discover the fortress in war with the dawnguard, searching based off of rumors and tales, i take a chance and finally get my answers. lol. i like to role play with my characters.

it seems like they're a different type of vampire. so becoming a vampire before hand could be useless.

I hope so because if you turn into the vampires we got now, Npcs forget what race you are.

vampires look overpowered, while werewolves don't have any "hollywood" flash added to them...

All vampire lords shall perish under the full moon.
