Dawnguard.

[Rootmars]

Now back to the topic, does anyone have some new info? I figured this close to realese, there would be some leaks.

wait till' beta testing starts next week and it will be everywhere.

[Redguard_Master]

Yeah I doubt the beta testers are going to keep their secrets for long.

[ScorpionGT1]

I've been away from the Skyrim fandom for a week. I just returned.
I am squeeing over here.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....

EDIT: ...Sorry, I'll be more mature now. Does anybody else think that the weappon at :54 looks sort of like a sickle?

If you pause the video right at :54, you'll see that it's an axe. Possibly a dragonbone axe, or maybe a weapon specific to the Dawnguard, as it's shown to have the symbol of the Dawnguard on it's head (Although the handle does look like dragonbone).

I've seen a lot of debate over whether the weapons we've seen in the trailer are the new Dragonbone weapons. I highly doubt that. Wouldn't it (lore AND gameplay-wise) make more sense for the Dawnguard to use silver weapons? My money's on them being a higher grade of silver. Kind of like Skyforge Steel VS regular steel.

Look at the handles though. They're look exactly like dragonbone.

[Argonanza]

Meh, looks like wood to me.

[Ganit]

Meh, looks like wood to me.

Wood handles, silver blades is what I'm seeing. The silver damage to vampires is lore and not just gameplay, right?

[Pilaf The Defiler]

Goldbrand is fine but(with the nature of Dawnguard) Eltonbrand is better.

With the nature of Skyrim itself I'd say Elton John is even better.

It's the circle of Life..on Tamriel.

And since we're on the Lion King, Talos lives in you.

Meh, looks like wood to me.

Yep.

[Tesknowitall]

It's common sense! Why would they put the best weapons, of the many new ones being released, in a trailer? They want to surprise us with these dragon one weapons not show them off before the game comes out. Plus if you see a dawnguard symbol on it, its they're brand of weapon. It is not dragon bone I'm 99% sure

[I EAT pain]

I wonder how they will present the dragon bone smithing, will we have to beat the DLC and learn from some dude? Or will it be added just to the perk? I mean, why would you get all the other weapons if you already have Dragon bone?

[Argonanza]

It'll probably just be integrated into the Dragon Smithing perk. If the player is skilled enough to create Dragonbone armor I think they'd be more than qualified to make weapons too.

[Rootmars]

I'm hoping those weapons are just more silver ones, or ideally, a higher quality type such as nordic silver from bloodmoon.

They are an "ancient" group of vampire hunters so they could've been around for Bloodmoon or even before.

[SajuukKhar]

I know it probably wont happen but I hope Dawnguard tweaks some preexisting monsters to make them more fun............. i mean, some vanilla monsters become super OP at high levels...... I am looking at you briarhearts.

As for dragonbone weapons they will, as mentioned before, most likely be placed in the dragon smithing perk.

[DikaSmausha]

I doubt the ones the dawnguard use are Dragonbone weapons. Not many people have that kind of Smithing ability, and even if they do, they wouldn't have time to craft them.

[RedDeadFred]

I hope in some DLC they bring back Golbrand. Best weapon ever.

I too was saddened by the lack of Goldbrand. It and Chillrend are my two favorite Elder Scrolls weapons. Since Chillrend was part of such a minor quest in Oblivion I didn't really expect it to make an appearance in Skyrim. I actually shrieked with joy when I saw that blue blade in Mercer Fray's display case.

A guild main quest is hardly what I would consider minor.

by guild main quest you mean Chorrol side quest right?

Chorrol side quest wasnt a guild quest

Yeah it was my favourite weapon in every TES game i've played (since Morrowind), plus if they brought it into Skyrim via a DLC that means Goldbrand has went down the family tree, as if Boethiah shimself is watching over my Dunmer.

Goldbrand was mentioned in "The Great War" as being in Titus Mede II's personal armory and being wielded by him on the battlefield during the Battle of the Red Ring. How he would have come to possess such an artifact is an interesting story in and of itself, I'm sure, since the Artifacts usually choose their own master and getting one of Boethiah's usually involves bloodshed...

[DikaSmausha]

You figured you would get Goldbrand when you [enter major spoiler here]

[I EAT pain]

No, that has nothing to do with Goldbrand (If you are talking about what I think you are)

[DikaSmausha]

Well, [enter guy who has been told using Goldbrand] and you [insert spoiler], he should have it.

[Rootmars]

yeah I thought he would have it too.
