What's up, Imp Zone? Normally I try to stay calm and collected but I can't right now because I am loving livid. I just finished playing through Dawnguard, which has to be one of the biggest DLC scams Bethesda has pulled off since horse armor. I'm so furious that I'm going to go into a bunch of detail about why Dawnguard is loving poo poo. What playing as a vampire is like. The Story of Dawnguard, AKA A bunch of asinine bullshit I load up Dawnguard thinking I'm going to have a bunch of cool Vampire adventures, but it was all a lie. First of all, being a vampire makes everyone hostile to you, even the other loving vampires. This is just the first in a long list of mistakes Dawnguard makes. Both of the questlines seem to be loving identical, which is just really lazy. So, I rushed through Dawnguard cause the Vampire's head cheese says that the Elder Scrolls will give him a way to block out the sun or some poo poo. What he really means is that you'll have to spend loving hours searching through caves to find the most mundane poo poo possible, like some bark knife so you can get some bark so moths will follow you. After these stirring adventures, you're sent off to find Akatosh's bow, which surprise surprise, is in the middle of another gigantic loving cave system. After going through miles of bland, uninspired caves you come across this Snow Elf vampire dude. This guy then tries to kill you and take your companion to get back at Akatosh somehow (???) It's then revealed that he made the whole prophecy up, a prophecy that's described on 3 seperate Elder Scrolls. I have no idea how the gently caress this even makes sense, but okay. Then you go back to your vampire castle and murder your boss and the story ends. The Sun is still in the sky, which if you're a vampire adds a lovely low-effort visual effect that makes gameplay impossible. Nothing else in the gameworld changes, and everyone will still attack you one sight if you go without feeding every 5 minutes. Please, imp zoners, do not buy or play the Dawguard expansion for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. TL:DR Please, imp zoners, do not buy or play the Dawguard expansion for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It made me feel a bunch of emotions, primarily disappointment and rage.

Don't buy Skyrim either... unless you want to have an awesome experience lasting, literally, hundreds of hours.

Ummm. Having armored troll followers and shooting undead with sunlight magic owns. Sorry you chose the wrong side OP. You should've known better after how oblivion vampirism was.

I thought that with an entire expansion focused on vampirism it would be better

I'm not sure what compels me to spend hours finding/updating/tweaking mods just to play for 30 minutes, get bored, and then a few months later do it all again.

I beat all of Skyrim and just wish I could get into Morrowind just to see what all the hubub is about. But the controls for MW are awful, the UI is terrible, the keyboard commands suck, and the windows always seem to refuse to close properly or they stick around blocking 80% of the screen.

Crossbows and the Dawnguard armor set are literally the only reason to own the DLC outside of mods that depend on it (a lot, surprisingly), and if you bought it outside of the legendary edition I am LOL (laughing out loud) at you, right now.

Apparently if you own Dawnguard, vampires can randomly kill quest NPCs at any point in time. Great loving game, Bethesda.

I ignored all of dawnguard until the vamp assholes killed the friendly bum in windhelm that always said hello. At that point i made it my mission to kill all vampires. Too bad you can't kill the npc or her mother because I'm sure at the very least she has to go out and feed on people too. I was kinda hoping the dawnguard leader would say gently caress all vampires at the end of the chain and deal with her.

This thread inspired me to reinstall Skyrim and finally play Dragonborn.

What little I played of Dragonborn was very cool, cause you get to go around getting hosed up on flin and sujamma.

one thing i never did in skyrim was to try to get all morrowind native and walk around in bonemold armour the whole game and suchlike my one skyrim dark elf was pretty un-dark elf-like because i wasn't hip to all the morrowind lore at the time
