Skyrim: Dawnguard DLC!
 


Soooo is anyone else really looking forward to the DLC for Skyrim? I know that I am! Every time I think about it I get all giddy, it's weird. I'm actually too excited, if that's even possible. I haven't played Skyrim for a while now so hearing and thinking about the new DLC has gotten me back into playing it.~

You will also now be able to wield weapons while riding horses! I'm looking forward to figuring out how to do that so that I can be good at it. o wo

Here is the official trailer for it if you have yet to see it!
Quote:

The expansion features two new factions: the Dawnguard, housed in Fort Dawnguard; and the Vampires, who reside in Castle Volkihar. The strongholds serve as new homes for the player, with each featuring unique bonuses. In addition, the Soul Cairn can be visited, which is a plane of Oblivion filled with undead.
Joining the Vampires allows the player to transform into a Vampire Lord at will, along with special accompanying abilities, which can be chosen from a dedicated skill tree. Vampire Lords will be attacked by almost all NPCs on sight, while regular vampires no longer trigger a hostile reaction. A Lycanthropy skill tree is also added, granting new powers and abilities for Skyrim's werewolves.
Dawnguard adds a variety of new enemies throughout Skyrim, including powerful Legendary Dragons, Gargoyles, Death Hounds, and Armored Trolls. New weapons, such as the crossbow and Dragonbone weapons, are available, along with new shouts such as Soul Tear, which rips the spirit of a slain enemy from its corpse to fight for the player. Also included is a new NPC in Riften's Ratway, who can alter a character's appearance (but not race or gender). The Soul Tear shout is taught to the Dragonborn by a dragon located in the Soul Cairn itself, as was revealed in an E3 interview with Todd Howard on G4TV. Vampire Lords have the ability to summon Gargoyles to their aid, while the Dawnguard seems to be the source of Armored Trolls. Vampire Lords can fly or walk, and are equipped with melee strikes as well as a variety of spells that are unlocked through the dedicated skill tree. These powers range from increased health recovery through biting and sucking the blood of enemies, to an enhanced form of the Vampiric Drain spell used by Vampires that seems to be combined with a more powerful version of Telekinesis, allowing you to lift enemies into the air while draining health.
So I'm thinking I'll have one character become a Vampire Lord and the other fight against the Vampires. Also from the trailer I can see that there will be a new horse ( maybe new horses? ). Ahhhh I can't wait! What does everyone else think? o uo

The best thing about being with the vampires is that you will use an elder scrolls to get rid of the sun, thus making vampires actually useful in the game.

I'm tempted to be a vampire so I can block the sun, then cure myself and become a werewolf instead xD.

There's a new werewolf skill tree, and vampire skill tree also <3. Hopefully they raise the level cap so I can update my guys in the new skill trees.

I'm not interested whatsoever in joining the Dawnguard, sorry but Vampire killers? BOORRING. I'm sorry but a crossbow is not exciting... I'll probably have my warrior dude join the Dawnguard just to see that half. And my main Mage to become a vampire and join the Vampire Lords.

I'm very excited, but for some reason... I want to see what the next DLC will be. <3

nyreen 06-11-2012 01:15 PM



Pfffft saving Skyrim will be boring. o wo
I'm going to do it just to see what differences it makes, and there will probably be an achievement! Being a Vampire Lord is going to be so fun omg.~


Quiet Man Cometh 06-11-2012 06:24 PM

I've seen the ads for it on Steam. Haven't look at it much though. Weapons on horseback sounds pretty nifty. Would your horse still run scared at times? That the annoying I found about fighting dragons is that the thing would inevitably go after my horse when I dismounted and my graphics card isn't quite good enough to handle fast turns so it was more luck if I managed to attract the dragons attention before my horse took off. It likes me but not quite that much.

nyreen 06-13-2012 06:18 PM



Usually my horses go after the dragons and attacked them. Especially Shadowmere... o Ao
I've never seen my horse run away from an enemy, that's odd or maybe I've just never seen that and it does happen? - shrugs -

Anyways... I'm going to play Skyrim sometime this week, hopefully, so I'll finally get to ride on my horse and use weapons!


Obbiesan 06-13-2012 07:56 PM

I seriously cant wait xD im very tempted to be a vampire hunster but alas there are no whips so a belmont i can not make D=

Illusion 06-13-2012 10:36 PM

I made a new character a couple of days ago just so he will be a awesome vampire hunter. I forgot just how many big quests I missed.... I skipped like... 5 Awesome daedric quests. One of which gives you a freakin shield that blocks almost all magical attacks, and dragon breathe! And I keep finding more and more good quests that I miss.

Just comes to show that 300 hours of skyrim, and I only scratched so little of it.

Belial 06-14-2012 12:18 PM

I tried for the Beta and didn't get in so I'll have to wait till I get paid.
Whenever that will be.

I'll just be jealous of the people who get it right when it comes out.

Glass Heart 06-14-2012 12:23 PM

didn't know about it, now looking forward to it

Belial 06-16-2012 01:30 PM

I saw on Google that the DLC will have dragon bone weapons.

Should have been a no brainer since every other smithing component had armor AND weapons but it's nice to be able to use all these bones I have stored away.

Illusion 06-17-2012 09:47 AM

They are adding dragon bone weapons? Well my weapons are now going to be replaced with something stronger I suppose....

I keep hearing rumors about werebears being added. Its funny too, in the Betheseda fourms someone who claimed to be a beta tester said werebears were in Dawnguard. And the thread he posted in was deleted, so was 5 other werebear threads. VERY FISHY STICK.

nyreen 06-20-2012 02:14 PM



Werebears lmao that sounds hilarious.
They may have been deleted because they are false claims or because they are telling the truth and they aren't suppose to reveal anything about the beta. >___>


Illusion 06-21-2012 05:30 PM

I want my Dovahbear!!! <3

nyreen 06-22-2012 12:37 PM



I told my brother about the information leaked and he started to laugh. Werebears sounds so funny but cute, how? xD
How can those exist?

Wearbears have been said to be living in large populations in Skyrim since Morrowind. That and werebears were featured in the Gamejam 2011 video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SE5o...ure=plpp_video

I highly suggest watching it, it's amazingly awesome. And the song remix Bethesda did is my favorite remix of all time. xD

Quiet Man Cometh 06-22-2012 09:17 PM

Werebears sound most cool. I might have to make another character for that since I like my werewolf so far, not that I've used her wereness much, just in the stupidly hard fight against the Skinner.

I'm kind annoyed that in Skyrim you can't layer cloaks with armour. I have a character concept in mind but I can't pull it off the way I want.

It depends on how much your horse likes you. Early on, horses are more likely to run from danger but as they bond with you they will fight things instead. First time I found that out was when I got off my horse nearby a bandit camp so I could go and fight and the horse prompty took off and proceeded to take out said camp by itself while I ran after it trying to make sure it didn't die.

Dragons have killed my horse a couple times. If I'm on my horse when one shows up, it nearly always goes after the horse when I get off, and running away to a safe place to dismount means I lose the dragon half the time.

How much your horse likes you also determines how far it runs away when it does get scared. The first time my horse bolted it was nowhere to be found. When I was dealing with a dragon, it only ran off to stand on the next hill.

Shadowmere is fancypants as far as I know, so it's likely she tougher than the "regulars" are. I know there are two fancy horses you can get in game (I hope they add more sometime) but I like my Queenie. :)

I at first didn't want to play Skyrim.
For one simple reason... Elder Scrolls is one
of the games that the graphics make me physically ill.
It's something in the coding I think. But watching my
son and hubby play the game made me want to play Skyrim.
And after seeing the DLC.. I am so playing this game!!
Now only if I can find a way to play ES...

Play the game on a crappy TV?

Quiet Man Cometh 06-23-2012 03:38 PM

Is it movement in particular? Like camera swaying? My brother gets seasick with some games at times. Smaller screens help, as well as turning off some features like the "camera" bouncing with the characters' steps in first person views.

Saiyouri 06-24-2012 12:50 AM

No its the actual graphics itself.
I saw people play Sonic and never had a problem
but when I tried Billy Hatcher for the Gamecube
I got sick from it and it's made by the same people.
There are some games out there that do make people
actually sick from them and it doesn't have to
be the movement itself. You never know if that
game is it until you watch it. ~_~

And the tv we had was pretty crappy Illusion lol.

That's the problem I have no idea which or not both
of them made me sick ~_~ I have to buy them
both and try it out. Just hope to god I out
grew that... Even though it was about 5 years
ago this happened to me ;;

Quiet Man Cometh 06-24-2012 10:38 AM

Obliv has been pretty darn cheap on Steam if you have that. I haven't checked up on Morrowind because I have a hard copy. I still haven't finished that game. Tempted to play it since I've managed to locate sheet music for the main theme that I want to play on my flute but it's beyond me at the moment. Still, the song is stuck in my head.

I might try Obliv again to see if I can handle
it. I just hope I can. That game is pretty sweet.

Illusion 06-24-2012 11:02 PM

Remember, go to the skooma house and steal all the skooma! <3
Oblivion is amazing.. Until you notice how small the wars are in the main quest >.>

Quiet Man Cometh 06-25-2012 08:53 PM

I haven't played Oblivion. Never really thought about it since I was occupied with Morrowind and I'm too cheap to buy new games, most of the time. Then I heard Skyrim was coming out and figured I'd wait for that. I heard that in Obliv you can have your own house (something I missed in Morrowind) but that getting on your horse is an "excercise in frustration" (quoting a friend there). I like that those features are back in Skyrim, but I still want to layer my armour and robes! I just like the look of Armour over cloth. Looks cool. :)

Illusion 06-26-2012 01:53 PM

Dawnguard is out for XBOX players... (ONLINE SLAVEEEESS..)

I'm getting every little detail about the expansion from the Bethesda forums <3

So far I know theres:
Dragon Bone Weapons
New skeleton flame horse mount
A new person in The ragged flagon that changes you appearance. (Surgery lol..)
If you join the Dawnguard and completed the questline you can still become a Vampire Lord
No Werebears

And other details but I'm too lazy to list them. Go find them yourselves xD

Karliah 06-26-2012 05:56 PM

I am so exited for it. I'm going to love the new perks trees and I'm joining Dawnguard.

Illusion 06-26-2012 05:58 PM

I want to join the vampires, they are super awesome.
<3 (But I made a character specifically for joining the Dawnguard.)

Plus you gain the ability to block out the sun temporarily <3 Vampires are finally going to be fun.

Not me. No access to Xbox Live so no DLC. I have a fat 360 which doesn't haven't have a built in Wifi and I'm borrowing my landlord's Wifi signal to access the internet.

Quiet Man Cometh 06-27-2012 02:13 PM

Aw, no werebears. Oh well. I want to check out Dawnguard but knowing me I won't get around to it for a while if ever.

I was checking out some mod reviews on youtube. Some are looking pretty cool. One gave you different mounts, like a spider, mammoth, bear, dragon, etc. Another populated Skyrim with level 50 lions that travelled in groups for when the game wasn't tough enough. Another turned Skyrim into a mass battlefield of sorts, which made walking places rather more challening, assuming you actually walk and not fast travel.

Bumped into the reviews when checking out a link my friend sent me, my little pony mod for the dragons. Whiterun taken down by fire breathing clones of Fluttershy.

Illusion 06-27-2012 10:04 PM

Burn whiterun, burn! Burn by the ol' might FlutterGUY

Kitty Paine 06-28-2012 06:38 AM

Only saw Whiterun attacked once, they usually stay outside the walls. Poor Riverwood several times even with the guards there.

Quiet Man Cometh 06-29-2012 11:31 PM

It might depend on where you happen to be. I haven't been aroudn Riverwood much, but I've been accosted by dragons around Whiterun quite frequently. I'm not very far into the main quest line though, well, as far as I know. I haven't even picked a side in the rebellion yet.

Illusion 07-02-2012 12:10 AM

I'm currently working on a vampire character.. And man.. I hate being a vampire. It makes things so difficult.. I need to join the dark brotherhood, but it's so hard when I'm at level 4 avoiding everyone! DX And I have to go through 2 big cities where people are just dieing to kill me.

Quiet Man Cometh 07-02-2012 12:14 AM

That's a bit early to be a vampire, isn't it? I kept getting turned into a vampire as an annoying part of this quest. Eventually I just stopped trying to avoid it and went werewolf (which I was still pondering at the time) to get rid of it. Who needs resting bonuses? ;)

Illusion 07-02-2012 12:21 AM

I'm level 22 :/..
Granted I spent most of my time getting to 90 something sneak, and 90 something speech :/
So my levels are out of wack.

Illusion 07-11-2012 06:18 AM

I wish Snow Elves were a race..
I'm trying to imagine the dialogue in the beginning of the game if you were a Snow Elf.

Hadvar: "A Snow Elf? I didn't know there were any of you left. Captain, what should we do? He's not on the list."
Captain: "Forget the list, he goes to the block."
Hadvar: "Really? Do you really want to contribute to the extinction of the Snow Elves? He could be the last one for all we know! ...Fine, by your orders, captain. I'm sorry, I'll make sure your remains are returned to... uh... never mind."

nyreen 07-30-2012 04:34 PM



I'm an absolute procrastinator.
Ended up borrowing Mass Effect and playing that, beat it today and I've also been playing Alice: Madness Returns, it's so fun. o wo
I need to get back on Skyrim LOL.


Belial 08-28-2012 07:40 PM

Anyone ready for the new DLC?
Hearthfire seems really good, I already purchased 400 xbox points for it.
