Ehm, what happen to the poll I made?

My Nord hero will certainly join the Dawnguard!

No. I've already started, like, four or five characters and I still haven't beat the game.

Already started my vampire lets play.

If she's still alive I'll just run with my current character. She'll likely side with the Dawguard, vampires aren't really her style. Will have to make a new character for the Vampire side though.
Going into a DLC blind with a DiD character... sounds fun

I will definetly start a new char and probably side with the vamps if you can actually transform into a vamp lord like in the trailer.To be honest i had never tought the dlc would be about vamps.Good job Beth,now we need some tweeks and updated to the werewolves and everyones happy!

I have mostly good characters so I'll definitely be joining the Dawnguard with most of my existing characters. My assassin will join whoever offers him the biggest reward but if contracting vampirism is the only way to join the vamps then he'll join the Dawnguard too.

I'll likely make a new character eventually to try the new vamps, none of my existing characters would want vampirism.

I'm so glad to see the new Dawnguard faction, finally a faction especially for my Paladin and Cleric characters!

Will we have to create a new character? Maybe it's level based?

Sweet! *Goes to watch it*

New content = new character. For me anyway. I don't know if you'll have to start a new one or be able to continue with a current one. But being that my current character is meant to fight in Skyrim, it would seem a new one that's designed to take on different challenges would be in order. A Breton or High Elf most likely.

nope i already have 3 vampires, a Slayer, and a Paladin and they are perfect for this

I already have a level 68 vampire and she'll be joining the vampires.

I have two vampires, a male and a female. I am definetly using my male vampire first.

I'll see when i start the game and explore the possebilitys:)

I think I've rerolled over a dozen times over the last six months and that's not counting the reinstalls. So, yeah I'll definitely roll a new toon for Dawnguard just to see if it changes anything in the vanilla game. Two, actually, to try out both sides.

No, I won't start a new character for dawnguard, because I might not even get it.
And even if I did get it, I would never start a new character just for it.

Does'nt look that great.
The worlds are grey and drab as ever.
The castles are nothing to get excited about.

Quite frankly, it'll probabely as linear and rigged as the main game.
You probabely can't kill anyone and everyones 'essential'.

Yeah, yeah, they put vampires that don't svck apocolyptically.
Big freaking deal, they should have done that in the first place.

When it comes down to it, even if dawnguard is'nt broken, linear, essential tag filled crap, you'll still have the fact the main game is basically the same every single time you play it and has little to no choices. One dlc won't take away from that.

Don't be fooled by it.
It's probabely completed fragged up rubbish.

Just created a new character and set out to master the voice, I want to stick with him, he is generally a good person but I think I will Roleplay that he gives into the power and becomes an all powerful vampire!

im not touching skyrim again till the new stuff comes out, at which point i will make a paladin-esque character that uses a 1 hander and resto magic in the left hand and he will join dawnguard. To be honest, i have no interest in joining the evil side.

I'll make my own evil side. Stand around and watch the battle then kill whoever wins. When both armies are too small to fight, I'll declare myself the winner and rule Skyrim.

New character? No.

I'll make a save right before the DLC and do both sides, then decide what side is better for me.

I most likely won't make a new character I have 3 already and I think I'm going to first side with the vamps on my first. Eventually i will do both of course.

Wait, if the dlc starts up some good lore that will be relevant in future TES games then i may make a special character just for that line

Well mine is actually quite an interesting tale... could be turned into a short story if i really wanted.

Its a tale of two brothers. Two Khajiit Brothers. The Khajiit Brothers, names were Fenrat, and Gurnrat, were part of a caravan headed for Skyrim. They made a wrong turn on there way to Skyrim which ended in the Caravans demise. There caravan ended up passing by a Vampires Lair. The Caravan of Khajiit was quickly overwhelmed. Fenrat and Gurnrat ran.

They ran and ran, right for the border of Skyrim. They ran right into the Imperial ambush set up for Ulfric and his Stormcloaks. Without a clue what was going on the two brothers seeked shelter with the blue uniformed soliders. Just as they began to talk arrows rained down upon the group. An arrow grazed Fenrats cheek, just below his eye, and then stuck itself deep in his foot. Imediatly Fenrat began to go into a daze, and fell into darkness. Gunrat suffered a similiar fate.

The two brothers woke up, to find themselves bound up, and traveling towards there execution in Helgen. Out of the Brothers, Fenrat was the first to go to the chopping block. Just as the Headsman came up for the swing a dragon, black as night landed fercly on the tower behind the headsman. The headsman lost his balance. Then everything went into chaos mode.

Fenrat and Gurnrat became seperated but ended up meeting in Riverwood a day later. Ash covering both of there faces, they hugged as if they had not seen each other in years. That night was a night of reflection, things happened so quickly over the last week. First there Caravan was attacked, then they were ambushed by Imperials, then they barley escaped a Dragon attack. Things couldn't be weirder.

The brothers lost alot of good friends from the Caravan. They vowed to worship Meridia and destroy all the creatures of the night. They vowed to be Vampire Hunters. An unstopable force, a blight to the Vampire population. They sought to calling themselves the Holy Knights... even tho they had no skills with swords or sheilds, or even magic. They knew only one thing... How to be a good theif.

They employed these skills to hunt many a vampire and save many lives. Then one day they uncovered a plot. Vampires ploted to take over the whole town of Morthal. They had to be stopped. The two brothers made there way through the lair, slaughtering countless Vampires, before the vampires were even aware of there presence. Then they aproached the room where the leader of the Vampire cult rested. He was asleep, in his coffin, perfect time to strike. They entered the room without a sound. As they aproached the coffin a loud noise sounded behind them.

The door had been closed, and locked up tight. Three Vampires stepped out of the shadows, bloodlust clear on their faces. Then the master vampire rose from his coffin, without making a movment. The brothers were trapped, and out numbered 2-1. They unsethed there daggers and the blood started pouring. They sliced and pounded the Vampires into a point of dismay. The master was all that remained, in only a few short minutes. But it was to late.

After Fenrat stabed his dagger into the last Vampire Thrall's heart, he heard a cry of pain. He quickly turned to see Gurnrat laying on the floor and the master vampire's fangs sunk into Gurnrat's neck. Fenrat charged the master vampire, jumping on his back and stabbing feriously into the vampire. Rage boiled in Fenrats blood. He brutally mutilated the vampire.

It was to late for his brother however, even the priest could not save him. His brother was not even given a proper burial. The halls of the dead were reserved for Nords only. So Fenrat laid his brother to rest just outside of Morthal, in a coffin on a hill. And that was the end of Gurnrat...

Rumor has it tho, that a hairy Khajiit is causing rampage in Skyrim. "This Khajiit is unstoppable, he feeds on everyone in his way, and someone said they heard he was fixing to become a lycan!", one rumor told of. Deep inside Fenrat he knew, this Khajiit Vampire was no ordinary vampire... it was his brother.

If its even half as good as the main game, then its gonna be AMAZING!!! But thanks for you harsh criticism of, if it dosn't have everything i want, i hate it and it svcks. And even if it has everything i want, i still hate it and it svcks because its not Call of Duty!

Just kidding

But seriously keep your negotivitys off the official forums, full of SKYRIM FANS!!!!

I wonder if werewolves can play into this at all... Either way, Dawnguard all the way.
