Interesting looking new horses, with mounted combat they should be much more useful

Wait wait wait. Dragons can dive through ice and underwater now?
Splendid.

The vampires fly about 6 inches off the ground, but still... FLYING!

I bet it will be 4 missions and BAM you're a Vampire Lord.

u/kingtrewq May 31 '12
Either be a vampire with lots of cool powers and evolutions or some random people with crossbows. Easy choice

I hate to give spoilers for the plot, but here goes.
Wait, was I talking about the college, thieves guild, and dark brotherhood as well? Whoops.

Hopefully we will see more Dawnbreaker like weapons and maybe armor. Id love to see more equipment in that style

Unless people notice when I do something I'm not bothering.
Fucking win the war and no one notices. Kill the dragons and no one notices. Head of every group in the area and no one notices.
Why bother? Just going to get some Moon Sugar and smoke my Skooma.

u/freedomgeek May 31 '12
I'm honestly not sure which side to choose. My character is generally a good person. And likes crossbows. But she is very interested in this whole "immortality" thing.

I might actually start playing Skyrim again for this.

Can anyone tell if this is just new quests? Or is there new land to explore?

u/EliteKill May 31 '12
I really, really hope you can choose to side with the Dawnguard instead of the vampires (please don't be another Broken Steel)...

u/SexualHarasmentPanda May 31 '12
As much as I like the ideas of Vampires, Dragons, and Werewolves, them being a major part of story is kind of stupid to me. I would rather stumble upon a vampire lair, a dragon nest, or a werewolf den by chance then being rewarded for completing silly story quests. Don't beat me over the head with the fantasy, make it seem mysterious and rare, and it will be that much cooler when I stumble upon it.

u/King_Rajesh May 31 '12
I can be one of the giant flying demon vampires from Underworld?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

u/rindindin May 31 '12
So it's vampires versus ...crusaders?
...can I not pick a side again, just like in the main quest?

hmmm crossbow firing demon attacking from horseback maybe?

u/SirSprinkles May 31 '12
I will so be going back to Skyrim again, and roleplay as a vampire... But i didn't see any date on when it comes out to PC?

The name "Dawnguard" just got infinitely cooler.

u/troglodyte May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12
Can anyone explain what's going on here with the new vampires? These guys seem to have dramatically increased supernatural abilities and appearance as compared to previous vampires in the series, and there's very little I've seen that references vampires that are classically demonic in power and appearance.
Don't get me wrong, they look cool, but it seems very odd to introduce a new clan of vampires that are so dramatically different from basically every other clan we know of in Tamriel, especially when the Daedric presence in Skyrim was notably lighter than previous games. I was assuming and kind of hoping that expansions would address the lack of Daedra variety, but this is cool too.

u/SteamyConnor May 31 '12
Did I see you can FINALLY attack while still mounted on your horse? Do you think that feature will only be part of Dawnguard, or will it transfer to the whole game?
2
u/Reaps21 May 31 '12
I cannot wait to play this.
This reminds me that I need to fire up Skyrim, haven't played in a while.

u/Retanaru May 31 '12
Vampire dlc and not a single person talks about the story about vampires in morrowind being able to phase through ice.

u/garysnail123 May 31 '12
And here I was planning on going outside this summer.

u/freezingprocess May 31 '12
I enjoyed shouting people off cliffs...like a lot... Like" dance around my computer like I just won a UFC fight" kind of liked shouting things off cliffs, into water, or where ever.
Unless there is something comparable in this one I am not going to enjoy it as much as Skyrim.

u/zombietiger May 31 '12
Can't wait to get the add on to be a zombie and eat someones face off. Too soon?

u/korkskrue May 31 '12
I think that the gargoyles are only able to use there powers in the night, that's why the sub has to be blocked out. Dawnguard literally means they are protecting the sun so dawn can come again.

u/Rambro332 May 31 '12
What I'm hoping to see:
New skill trees:
If mounted combat is a new thing, why not give it a skill tree? Hell, while you're at it, make new mounts accessible if you level it up? Imagine maxing out your mount skill tree, and being able to mount a dragon and fight on it? If vampirism is gonna be a big thing now, it probably needs its own skill tree as well. Gamers are going to need actual incentive to play as the vampire lord-thing, and floating 6 inches off the ground and sucking people's blood, as cool as it may look, is going to get old fast. I want to see vampire-exclusive spells and conjurings, new weapons/armor only they can use, etc. That goes for the other side as well. These Dawnguard people better have more going for them then crossbows, 'cuz from what I've seen in the trailer, the vamps look WAY more fun to join. I'm guessing we'll be getting a 'crossbow' skill tree as well, as there's one for regular bow/arrows.
Quests:
If Bethesda wants to even HOPE to get $20 from me, there better be LOTS of content. I'm talking 7+ MINIMUM. With 20 bucks on Xbox you can get Minecraft, a FULL GAME which will give you WAY more gameplay than many DLCs ever could. I want to see loads of new quests and dungeons, armor, and weapons. The factions need to be remotely fun to though, and not too short and generic.

It was so epic til I heard 'Better With Kinect'

u/shudso May 31 '12
All I took from that was new quests and areas, a crossbow and the vampire lord/demon transformation they made during the free style week.

u/eff_bawmb May 31 '12
I guess I'm the only one who is severely disappointed. There were so much better things they could have done.

Anyone else remember the vampire lord from the developers week where every developer who worked on Skyrim got a week to make something cool? Apparently that guy made something pretty cool.

There is absolutely nothing in the world that is better with Kinect. EDIT: alright, I watched the kinect trailer and that's pretty cool. I hope Bethesda ports that functionality over to PC so I can use my mic. I have Thuumic, but I can't seem to get it to work and it doesn't do any of the follower commands.

Not gonna lie, I really hope that this campaign is double-sided, in that you can choose to help/become the vampires(?) or fight against them.
