Well I will continue to see what people are saying. There's at least a month before I can play it however much I want to, so I will see how wound up people are getting after a month of it, not just a couple of days while the novelty value is still present.
Even if the attacks do drop off that dramatically (again I've heard contrary reports about this), this seems to imply feeling compelled to get it done. The beauty of an integrated DLC - a good idea in and off itself - woiuld be being able to complete it at a leisurely pace alongside the core game quests. Not rush through it before everybody dies.

I am rather sceptical of your comments after you said everyone is praising it - I've visited several forums where people are indeed praising the general content, but plenty of people seem unhappy with this particular situation.

You think that just because there is a civil war going and dragons attacking that other opposing forces have to stay back The world does not play by your rules and if you want a RPG to be feel like a real living world then put rules of the real world into play. In this case having and enemy attack while other perils are happening is something that holds true even in life enemies are not going to play nice or fair if they see your weak and down there going to kick your ass

Ah right. I just read this on another forum


Great. That just it made sound worse than it did already.

Sorry my cleverness isn't up to your standard, but I'm at work, so it wasn't my highest priority.....

I think it's just lazy writing, adding some big invasion onto a set-up that already includes two province wide major events. Bethesda's writing is terrible, I expect it to be terrible and live with it because I enjoy the gameplay. But every so often iits terribleness starts to get a bit much. If it wasn't for this attacks malarky I'd probably not have said anything about it.

You're way over-exaggerating something that you haven't even played yet. Do you see the ridiculous paranoia in that? Can you see that?

As am I, but I still find the energy to use more than a 5th Grade level of creativity.

Guess I just have a few more important things to do at my job....

lol

Gentleman calm down, stop throwing personal insults.

Perhaps he is... do take in mind there are already 5 or so topics that reached the post limit already and we on the PC can only read about this problem here on the forums and it's been out for 2 days already. He is as I am, worried about the DLC.

Btw, you 2 guys who are fighting. Do take in mind that the last topic about this problem was locked thanks to few people throwing insults and the continuation of the topic was also locked. Keep your personal insults to Private Messages if you would be so polite. Thank you.

testy lot arn't they.

Oh, I'm well aware. And I've ceased my end, and I wasn't the aggressor anyway. I've actually spent most of my time since Dawnguard went public trying to help the mods out and trying to help the 360 community with getting into and figuring out this outstanding expansion.

I have no intention of my actions being what gets this thread locked.

I never insulted him....well maybe a little on last one....maybe

Though I do think the concept of a vampire attack is cool (and enjoyed it when it first started happening), to have it be a continuous occurrence and leveled the way it is was a bad call. At higher levels these vampires will destroy villagers and can wreak serious havoc (and in the process also screw over radiant quests). Every single time it's happened, my already OP character has had to resort to something like a slow time shout just to make sure no one dies.

Even after completing the quest line, this has still happened to me a few times. My issue here isn't with it happening (in fact this was a good call), but I think it should be a much more limited event. Elder Scrolls players have always been sensitive about losing NPCs, and this is a downright annoyance.

Like tons of people said already the attacks on villages are really rare and guards do a pretty good job at taking them out if you are too weak or slow to do it yourself if you can't do it yourself then I suggest the first thing you look for are the time slow shouts so you can take them out easily and fast.

I don't feel insulted, so...

I thought we were just trading witty banter. lol

If you have "more important things to do" then why aren't you doing them? Tsk tsk. M'aiq the Liar strikes again .

I'm expressing concern over something that within two days of release people on multiple forums are complaining about. I'm sure you believe I should go solely on your words of wisdom, but I'm afraid that if there are multiple complaints about a feature that sounds like the sort of feature I wouldn't like to the extent I've seen several people on different forums say they've uninstalled it - only about 48 hours after release - then that really puts me off the product. If you wish to be the sole voice people listen to, I suggest you go start a cult or something.

Some people seem well happy, but then some people massacre all the NPCs themselves anyway. Babysitting NPCs in town all game just ain't my idea of fun. Particularly if there's an assassin type that can murder them without you even noticing. It's tedious enough if you have to keep reloading to keep someone alive, but if they might be dead and you don't even know, that's just crap. I like my NPCs alive unless I choose to kill any myself. It's how I like the game.I appreciate your concern for my prospective puchasing habits, but it's just my opinion this DLC sounds like it potentially mucks up your game big time. Maybe it hasn't yours. Maybe it will mine - which is what bothers me. I'm not paying twenty quid to be paranoid about NPCs dying possibly without my knowledge every time I go near a town.

I'm not at all against the attacks, if there is a way of preventing them from occurring...ie... Not joining Dawnguard, and if they cease, or dramatically reduce them after mq is completed

Merv, if it wasn't for this people would've found something else to complain about, people always want to complain.

And again the attacks are EXTREMELY rare and the vampires don't really pose much threat even at high levels.

Also, I'd like to add that on my VL(Questline completed) I haven't encountered a single city attack. And, only 3 times since playing almost non-stop have I seen vampires on the road.

Unless its different for the DG you guys must be seriously exaggerating..

Lol....I'm on my cell phone, posting when I take breaks from a 130° attic....

They do reduce significantly after finishing either side if the Expansion. It's because the game sees it as your Faction "won" and the numbers of the other side have been decimated.

But they do reduce quite a bit.
