:shock: so do they actually fly and spit venom at the same time? that sounds terrifying for melee types...

The best way to beat them is with a good conjuration spell or a spell with AOE's. Melee characters should fair better than archers because they move around so much and often attack in pairs

it's not that bad once you deal with the overabundance of undead, lack of interesting sidequests, and pain in the a** keepers

Soul Cairn reminded me of Morrowind. Now if only Jiub was right there when you walk in and talking about sleeping through a storm....

But seriously, the side quests had no markers and vague directions (if any at all). Thought I might as well try to find weepingbell cave.

9/10

And I haven't even finished all the content yet, although I did finish the new main quest on the vamp side.
Monsters are bred in labyrinths, labyrinths are bred from walls. There is a reason the Giants choose to remain nomadic rather than follow their shield kin the Nords in building permanent settlements. The Tower is the beginning of all walls.

Seeing as it is JUST an add on, not even a full expansion, i give it a 9.5 out of 10.

Even if it were a full expansion like the shivering isles but only had as much content as it does now id give it a 8.5 because it still adds so much to the game.

And i have also only done the vampire side

Hey guys, this is something I can't figure out. How do you do the power bite attack as a Vampire Lord? I tried holding down the attack button, but that just does a standard power claw attack.

Who else thinks that the Dawnguard Fort is AMAZING!? It has:
Spoiler:
Armored Trolls for hire
Armored dogs
at least a dozen guards
sweet equipment available
multiple side quests offered by NPC's
random people camping out in front of it
and it looks sweet
Also, has anyone fought a Revered Dragon yet? They look pretty freakin' cool, but they aren't that big of a challenge.
Long live the Empire!

Has anyone found any Dawnguard weapons other than hammers and war axes? I've looked everywhere and found nothing. Also, Dead Drop Falls seems to serve no purpose.

I read somewhere that in Vampire Lord form you can also use your normal spells as well. Can someone confirm or deny this?

Yes you can, you can also make certain other people into Vampires also from a Vampire radiant quest.

Wawa wee wa.

So Vamp Lords are waaay more powerful than werewolfs then simply because you can use mage armor spells where as werewolves still have no DR.

Then of course there's all the other crazy powers the vamps have.

Wait, what? Random vampires attack towns? Is that event triggered when the player enters a city, or can it happen anywhere, anytime?

Werewovles are glass tanks, a fully upgraded werewolf can do some major damage,and while they can take some hits, they aren't supposed to be normal tanks. I would say Vamp Lords and Werewolves are actually pretty balanced against each other, its just knowing how to use them.


Also Babbette now walks around outside at times, you can talk to her and she says shes going to feed.

Its whenever you walk into the city, for the 5 big cities, or when you are in the current cell for the smaller cities.
