So update on what appears to have happened: The game reverted to a pre-Dawnguard state, sort of. When I returned to Solitude for the first time after travelling to Solstheim for a little while, there was a master vampire and some thralls attacking the citizens. I fulfilled my thanely duties and killed them, while thinking that was odd because the vampire attacks were a thing they added in Dawnguard. I also noticed that I could still smith dragonbone weapons and arrows, which were also new to Dawnguard. Then one day on the streets in Whiterun this bro Durak shows up and asks me if I've ever heard of the Dawnguard. So its as if the game reset all everything to a state in which I had done nothing with the Dawnguard DLC content I guess. Its really weird, but hey I won't complain, its better than not being able to access the content at all.

I had to do The Black Book:Untold Legend's and Apocrypha over a time or two.

Both of those you have to slow down with, or you'll miss a needed item to do or read. It's real easy to get turned around.

I've seen no Vampire's as yet, just Dragon's and an Orc money lender shark.

Theres a glitch in the quest "Unearthed" i think theres ment to be a word wall in Kolbjorn Barrow (after paying 2000 to Ralis) when i go near this certain spot i keep hearing chanting and as i walk towards the edge of the room I hear the word being absorbed (not obtained just obsorbing sound)

This is a normal part of the quest. Keep playing through it. There are 4 or 5 excavation phases. You'll get the word on the last one.

Missed triggers dialogue and textures. Miraak glitched out couldnt absorb dragon souls before or during the final battle and i cant talk to anyone in skaal village until i complete the summit if apocrypha quest so there goes the last two achievements in the whole dlc.

I had trouble with the miraak glitch to when i first went through the main quest but i think its because i made his health go down to quickly with my archer being overpowered.. so i redid it and let him do his little show and was able to continue with the rest. An issue ive been having is falling through the floors of places i first enter, i never had this problem until today, its really annoying and im hoping there will be a patch or something soon.

I've had two kinds of crashes. One is a standard freeze, usually around highly populated areas of Ravenrock. Or a full crash/freeze during a load screen.

The other is a perpetual load-screen. Animated ( I can control the little image that's displayed during loading) and the music's playing, and the mist's rolling. That's a new species of crash for me, unique to Dragonborn.The music keeps going, the "tips" keep scrolling across the screen. It just never ends. I've left it up for an hour or two, just to see.

I've also had some funny business with floating shields. The redoran guards that died fighting the Ashspawn, their chitin shields started to slowly rise into the sky. I gave it an old Fus Roh Dah to try and knock it down, but all that did was rocket it into orbit. I watched as it cruised out of sight distance, never to be seen again.

Okay so i'm doing the Temple of Miraak quest in Dragonborn dlc and it says I started it and I need to talk to Frea. I can't find Frea. It says go to the skaal village in the shaman's house and noones there. From the looks of it I was supposed to find her at the temple place, which I didn't. Basically I can't do the main questline for the dlc and it is really frustrating. Anyone have any ideas? I'm a level 81 Imperial, male just for ideas... Please help me!

Tommy: its Tel Mithryn. Speaking of Tel Mithryn , where is the bed and chest that you are supposed to get after that Wizard makes you a member of house Telvanni? I can't find it anywhere in the Tel Mithryn Settlement.

I've ran into quiet a few issues since I downloaded this dlc, before I only had one persistant glitch in the entire game, which would be the companion's quest line, six restarts and eight glitches later is finally worked though. I wish I could undo these dlc downloads so my game would work again(which I have tried but then skyrim don't work at all, even on a new game). I may be a die hard Elder Scrolls fan but I'm reaching my limit with all of their damn glitches.

1. My game would never freeze up before this, now it freezes up many (10+) times a day. It's making syrim miserable to play, even though I save like mad it's still frustrating me. I was even desperate enough to replace my skyrim disc in case that was part of the problem because it was a bit scratched, it didn't fix it though. It'll freeze on the loading screen, in battle, on saving, it's frozen up doing pretty much anything. The only plus is I usually get some warning beforehand now, it'll get super laggy right before it freezes and occasionally I'll get lucky and be able to save it before it freezes.
2. Rescuing the Skaal blacksmith was glitched up. I rescued him but back at the village I didn't get the required dialogue to complete the quest for days.
3. Before downloading the new dlc's I never had an miscellaneous quest glitches, now even when I finish a miscellaneous quest, get the reward and everything, it'll say quest completed, but the quest never moves out of my miscellaneous quests. I now how over 20 quests I have completed but they won't leave the list. Making them active doesn't do anything either, you don't get quest markers or anything it's like they simply don't exist. This no longer just happens with quests on the dlc, it is now affecting skyrim quests.
4. At the summit of apocrypha, no matter what I do when I read it won't transport me to apocrypha. Three restarts haven't fixed this either, making he quest line impossible to finish.
5. I often get the endless blue abyss glitch when i go into buildings/cities or exit them, and trying to reload a previous save often freezes the game. I'm often forced to go two or three saves back for it even to load again.
6. Blood Scythe will not stay on a weapon rack, I own all Hearthfire houses and all of the other houses and have literally tried putting it on ever last weapon rack.
7. Every time I kill a dragon it either won't fall apart, or on the rare occasions is does the idiot steals it from me. I've gotten one soul from the last 16 dragons I've killed. This is one of the most irritating glitches.
8. I've asked my steward/housecarl to furnish my house, they take my gold but it never gets furnished. All three houses had this issues.
9. Serana as a follower, will slowly over time be able to carry less and less until even if she is carrying nothing at all you won't be able to even give her a single leather strip (0.1 lbs). No fixes I've seen for this have worked, making her a rather useless follower if your planning on major loot.

I know there's more that I'm not thinking of right now. Since I got this damned DLC I have completely restarted nine time, which is hundreds of hours of game play and still it doesn't work with a crud. It's driving me up the wall.

P.S. I think I read somewhere that some races and gender combos are more glitchy then others. I've tried various different race/gender combos without much luck, anyone have a good race/gender combo that seems to work consistently?

I've been trying to finish the game now, but Miraak won't get impaled by hermeaus Mora.
instead he gets stuck under the pond in the middle and nothing happens.
the floating eyeballs are also there.
 
Tommy: its Tel Mithryn. Speaking of Tel Mithryn , where is the bed and chest that you are supposed to get after that Wizard makes you a member of house Telvanni? I can't find it anywhere in the Tel Mithryn Settlement.
The UESP wiki says they don't exist: Dragonborn:Old Friends - UESPWiki

I've looked around and haven't found it either. Might just be blowing smoke.

My least favorite glitch: Serana is my follower, has been since Dawnguard. I took her in and out of Tel Mithryn without issue a few times, but suddenly, she got trapped there yesterday. On the rare occasion that I can get her to come down that floating column nonsense, she won't leave with me. If I dismiss her, she vanishes, but I knew that was already a glitch, so I saved before I tried it.

I know this issue shows up in one of the wikis, but I'm not seeing a solution for Xbox or PS3. Anybody solved it, by chance?

I CAN'T GET DRAGON SOULS!!!! Oh wait, this is for the 360
 
I have all of the DLC for Skyrim and I've played through all of Dragonborn on a previous character without a problem. On my current character I haven't gone to visit the Graybeards yet so I haven't started anything to do with Dragonborn, but my game has frozen a dozen times or so on this character, which I have never had happen pre-Dragonborn DLC.
