Seeing as Dawnguard is still in Beta for the Xbox, and I own a PS3, I guess I'm jumping the gun a bit
by saying the possibility of Bethesda's latest copyright being DLC.

Yet here we are several months after Dawnguards copyright, eagerly awaiting (some more than others)
to kill or be a Vampire Lord. Though to be honest, I'm more excited about being a regular vampire at full
strength without being attacked more than being a Lord.

So, you may or may not have noticed the very literal meaning behind Dawnguard's name.
If you choose to join these vamp hunters, you will actually be guarding the dawn by
preventing the sun from being blotted out. Going along with this literal title theme, and
with the files discovered in the 1.5 patch, I've developed a theory about Hearthfire.
If Hearthfire is a DLC to be.

*Theory Part. Not To Be Taken As Fact*

Whether it deals with the month or the fireplace, Hearthfire will be about the return of the
Snow Prince, and you will in some way use Hearthfire to defeat him. Maybe it will
be the name of a weapon you have to forge, maybe its some sort of magic, or maybe
even just the month.

During Hearthfire the month, the Psijic Order practice the Rites of Moawita, which could hint at their
involvement. Tales and Tallows is also celebrated in Hearthfire, a nercromancy holiday. Maybe someone
will raise the corpse of a certain dead Prince? (I also think that seasons will be added to the game to accompany Hearthfire,
seeing as they were shown in that one video and Hearthfire is the month of autumn. Along with Child adoption,
did I mention Children's Day is celebrated in Hearthfire?)

The Snow Prince will lead a Falmer army to retake Skyrm and you'll have to use a magical weapon given to you
by the Psijic order to defeat him. This undead Snow Prince will be the embodiment of cold and ice, and a sword of
pure flame will be his only weakness. Or better yet, if Bethesda really wants to make it fundifficult, you have to defeat him
before Hearthfire ends. All the while collecting the materials needed to make Hearthfire the weapon and avoiding Falmer and
Ice Wraith attacks.

Then again, Hearthfire is the month of autumn, so maybe its an allusion to the coming winter
that will usher in the return of the Snow elves and be nothing more than a title meaning what month it is.
Though that does sound familiar.


As a side note: There is talk that any DLC involving the the Psijic order will also involve the Eye of Magnus.
I personally don't see how this could happen, seeing as discovering the Eye of Magnus is completely
optional and relies on you joining the college of winterhold. I for one am not a fan of magic in games and
barely play as a mage, I did however do this just to do it in a playthrough of Skyrim. So that's my opinion on that.


As a side side note: In Oblivion's DLC, did you ever notice that one deals with the Daedra and one deals with the Aedra (the Nine Divines)
and that Dawnguard involves a Daedric lord? One of the main themes of Skyrim is the banning of Talos leading to the Skyrim Civil War.

Sesonal foliage DLC

Now serious, yyeah, ressurected Falmer Prince would be nice, and getting back to Solstheim.

Hearthfire can be an artifact named after a month... to many possibilities.

Well now that all the Twillight [censored] are happy with what they'll get in Dawnguard, I hope Bethesda focuses on the 2 most interesting and unexplored plot points in Skyrim, the Thalmor and the Dwemer/Falmer. I believe the Falmer is pretty much confirmed since even loading screens imply that they are willing to raid the outside world if I remember correctly. Now concerning the Thalmor...I am not sure how they will approach them, since they could be the focal point of the next TES...but if this is the case I hope they will do at least an interlude-type DLC just like what ME did with Arrival, closing the Skyrim story arc and linking directly to the next TES...

TES VI: Summerset Isles - It would be nice.

But Thalmor as DLC ? Rather not, it would require CW questline completed.

Now, now. These vamps are NOT Twilight vamps. They were lore material that had not been explored that much upon, so I'm glad they're doing it now, even if Vampires and Lycns weren't my first choice.

Now, on to speculation. I said once and I'll say it again; NEROMANCY!!! ...pretty please?

Speaking about Necromancy... why not Manimarco making a return ? It would be awesome to see restored Order of the Worm.

Would really love that, maybe as an expansion to the ridiculously short College questline

I don't think the twilight crowd will like the vamps of Dawnguard, they don't glitter and not a single one is 'pretty'.

Serena is not bad.

True Commando2047, and the fact she carries around an elder scroll makes her that more appealling.

One thing, it appears as though you are basing the idea on the snow elf prince on the patch that said something about
him being in DLC 01. I doubt they will make two snow elf DLC's. Which daedric lord is in dawnguard?

I would personally like a dlc that could expand all the guild questlines, but especially the 8 quest long college of winterhold -.-


I want Psijic order robes! i also want a dlc involving either the psijic order and the eye of magnus, or one aobut the thalmor

This will only be good if you arent forced against him like in TES IV. I for one would rather be with the necromancer's.

Manimarco fits well to the scheme.

EDIT: He is a god ! In Oblivion you only destroyed his "mortal" form, he can spawn another who knows.

I hope they do him right though, if he's a 1000 year old lich then dont make him look like a 40 year old altmer.

You know what ? It would awesome to become a Lich !

I... had a post about that...

My theory is that the college of Winterhold is going to play a central role in Heartfire..
The story will be "one sided" versus evil, but it will be different whether you play it as a member of the college or not..

Depending on your choices and actions the college will gain respect in the people or will be banned from Skyrim..

Personally, i'm not too keen on a mage based dlc, but ig uess it would be ok for the mages of skyrim and i would still get it i like how dawnguard caters for all the main classes though (apart from stealth) such as archery (crossbow), melee weaponary (dragonbone!) and mages (Vampire Lord)

I think Bethesda throws a random term out there.... and we do all the brainstorming for them for free.

Hell Yeah! We have had Necromantic texts for some time now, but no Lichdom, and seeing the "beast transformations" that Lycans and Vamps have, it would be easy to implement a Lich form. Buuuut, I think the vampire lord is the closest thing we will get to a Lich in Skyrim, since it is already magic focused and people would rage over another transformation.

DO NOT... EVUR... Bash my dreams by down talking my idea. Its amazing. Dont Lie. Accept it. lol

... Mercy, please don't kill me!

Embrace the ways of The Allmighty King of Worms! Or eat one! lmao jk
