I been wondering about this for long time now , so please help me with this noob question . When we install the Legend D.L.C. content into our systems ( I'm on X-BOX ) you have all this coming at you so fast , Vampire's attacking , Cultist attacking etc . The Question is after you loot the letter off the Cultist , if you don't read it will it give you time to do the Dawnguard Quest line 1st with out having to deal with the Dragonborne line untill later ??? I really prefer to have some control on what I am dealing with at a slower pace . Tks for any help
From what I've seen, as long as you don't read the letter, you won't be interrupted by any of the Dragonborne line until you do (though after reading and not acting, the only thing I've seen happen is Miraak showing up from time to time at dragon kills to steal the souls).
And as to the cultist attacks, I've taken to fast travel somewhere like Dawnstar after going to High Hrothgar so I can easily pull them out of town and kill them off the side of the road away from everything.
It gets old seeing half a dozen NPCs standing around weeks old dead bodies at the gate to Whiterun all saying "what happened" over and over.
On a related note, I'd love to see these scripted encounters reworked in future games.
It is incredibly immersion breaking, not to mention annoying, to get accosted by cultist or vampires at the same time the Redguard warriors ask for help in finding that woman while a courier is trying to give you several messages or some other random event like the 'challenger' also triggers.
Actually now that I think about it, I'd like to see anything tied to quests require actual player actions to trigger AND have the ability to accept or decline, no more spamming my character with scripted events or NPCs that choke up the journal with quests I have no intention of doing.
