Spoilers: Questions for Beta Testers #2 : V - Skyrim

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 1:05 pm

No, the Vamp Royal armor has a short cape but it is attached to it, No capes

They're cosmetic, there isn't any new slots or armor types.

As of the beta, Zephyr didn't stack with the perk. However, it might have been a bug, and I haven't tested it in the retail version yet.

Disappointing, but thank you. And for answering all these questions helpfully without spoiling things -- much appreciated!

Wait till you hear the casual conversations between the team members... Juraine:"Can I borrow one of your trolls? I need one to test out new modifications on the crossbow." Gunmar "Why on earth would I let you borrow a troll to do that!? It's hard enough getting these trolls." juraine "You could have just said NO! Sheesh."

Florentius is friggin awesome. Like the "Good" Version of Cicero

Stacked for me in the beta. It was awesome. It was incredable! By the time I was finished the falmer looked like porcupines. I was just sitting back laughing like a madman as everything died before my suped up draw speed.

Still wild werewolves. :smile:

And aela can re gift you now.

Your optimism is making me want to kick puppies and smack kittens. But yeah, wooptie-doo. Not everyone can be happy though.

Beta testers,

In general, do you feel dawnguard is worth the time/points?

Is it really a fresh dlc or just more of the same? Im very much on the fence..

So can you share your overall, non-spoiler feelings after having played it?

Thanks in advance

It's very much worth it. It's a "whole new game." You can become a floating Vampire Lord that's practically unstoppable for christ sake... Do it!

Just one more question -

Does Dawnguard fix any of the Grindstone upgrading bugs that are in vanilla skyrim? e.g. Silver Swords / Greatswords, Wuuthrad, Nord Hero Bow, Ebony Blade, highest level of Nightingale Blade, etc?

Or any other bugs or glitches that were present before?

Thanks.

On second though, the wild werewolves do not seem all that bad. What happens when you "summon werewolves?"

Do they magically appear as a summon or they pop out of bushes?

How extensive was your testing? Because the speed is equivalent to any other regular old bow when you have the Quick Shot perk.

Dawnguard doesn't fix bugs, patches fix bugs. Check the patch notes for 1.6 to see what it's fixed, and stay tuned for future patches.

I know I love his voice aswell. I laughed so hard when the conversation started. I think I did for most of them. Especailly since my first time finding gunmar it was a spider den. "Wait what? Did they eat it!?" I really like the dawngaurd side it's like a good version of DB. But all of the fun characters live.

Do all 4 ranks of Bestial Strength add 25% damage each
Totem of the Predator does what?
Totem of Ice Brothers does what?
Savage Feeding does what?

I had it with three characters with the perk. Second time I had to presaved for an enemy onslaught. Once without the bow , second time through with it. Dead before taking two steps. Third time was me goofing around to see if I was just bugging out twice. It still gave me 60%.

Before I take the leap of joining the Dawnguard as a werewolf, will they attack me in werewolf form?

up to 100%
Ice Bro: Summons 2 ice wolves
Savage Feeding: Feed on animals
Pred: I think it extends the range of the Detect life and colors alter to show who is hostile

Totem of Predator increases Detection.
Totem of Ice Brothers summons ice wolves.
The lore breaking Savage Feeding means you can feed on animals now, but it counts as half a count towards the timed meter.

Holy crap...how long as Serana been kept away in the crypt?

She didn't even know there was an Empire 0_0. Good lord, she's ancient as hell.
