Official DLC trailer for Dawnguard
- Thread starter hexperiment
- Start date
Monolith
The Progeny of Vikings
I think this is gonna jive really well with my wicked Khajiit assassin. Looking forward to going all-out evil and biting the necks of unsuspecting victims! I must say my expectations for this first DLC weren't exactly high, but Dawnguard is looking better than I anticipated.

Lol I'm not being pessimistic, I just like my DLC meaty. I would love as much new content as Shivering Isles. God I loved that wierd wonderful place...Heretic! Burn the witch!
what do you mean? we've got completely new areas of the map, new weapons, armor, mounts, abilities, factions, quests, and game mechanics. what else do you want?

I wasn't aware that there was new area of map, It still looked like mostly Skyrim. May need to watch it again
Brumon The Third
Battlemage from Cyrodiil
Jersey Dagmar
Just in time for the fiyahworks show! BOOM!
I'm hoping this place is like it's own island, like Shivering Isle. What I did notice about the trailer is Dragonsreach, which I found interesting. I hope NPCs that were in regular Skyrim have some part to play in this DLC.

Well close observation of the trailer shows on the eldar scrolls map markarth linking to solitude with the surrounding moutains around solitude being red. so perhaps its on the otherside of the isle?

"The next day, he did return with more questions, these ones very specific. He wanted to know about the vampires of eastern Skyrim. I told him about the most powerful tribe, the Volkihar, paranoid and cruel, whose very breath could freeze their victims' blood in the veins. I explained to him how they lived beneath the ice of remote and haunted lakes, never venturing into the world of men except to feed.
Movarth Piquine listened carefully, and asked more questions into the night, until at last he was ready to leave.
"I will not see you for a few days," he said. "But I will return, and tell you how helpful your information has been."
True to his word, the man returned to my chapel shortly after midnight four days later. There was a fresh scar on his cheek, but he was smiling that grim but satisfied smile of his.
"Your advice helped me very much," he said. "But you should know that the Volkihar have an additional ability you didn't mention. They can reach through the ice of their lakes without breaking it. It was quite a nasty surprise, being grabbed from below without any warning.""
-Excerpt from "Immortal Blood", in-game book by "anonymous".
We need this. Unfortunately, it looked like we aren't getting this, but if we're in Skyrim, and there're dragons busting through the ice, and the entire DLC is focused on vampires... we need to see the Volkihar. How amazing would it be to have one pull you under the ice, and have to escape? And it's criminal for Bethesda to tantalize us with such awesome things and then not actually include them in the game (see also: Werebears).

Well the werebears were speculation but i do agree about volkihar. having them as enemies ATLEAST would be nice. i want more werewolf incentives. seems vampires are fixed now. better ways to feed. vampire lord form. hyponosis((have no idea what that does ingame prob like command humanoid)) and no longer have to wait till night to feed.
A vampire hunter maaay be fun. But honestly, who hasn't killed a ton of vampires already by now in TES? Now is the time to truly reign as a dark lord of the night!
All your blood are belong to us.

Right on! LOL, I've played enough Castlevania (a series I love, mind you) to be more than ready and willing to be a vampire and kick some hunter ass for once!
