Dawnguard without buying it?

It's my understanding that Dawnguard is a DLC for Skyrim.

All I purchased was Skyrim itself without any DLC's on Steam

A few days ago, I had just entered Whiterun and there was a fracas at the gate by Warmaiden's. In the battle the intruders were defeated. It was announced that the Dawnguard quest had begun. As I looted the defeated, I found a crossbow and bolts, which are only available, as I understand it, if one has the DG DLC.

So it appears I now have the DG DLC without having purchased it. Did I miss an announcement from Bethesda that DG or Steam that DG is now included at no charge?

When I look at my games on Steam, DG is not shown and it is still for sale for $20 from Steam.

Call me confused! Buy, hey, I like the crossbow and if anyone tries to take it, they'll have to pull it from my cold...dead...hands (ht - Charlton Heston)

You're certain you bought Skyrim, not the Legendary edition?

The legendary edition has all the DLC's, doesn't it?

I don't have that 'cause I remember I didn't want to lay out the extra money before trying the basic game...

Have you got any mods installed as there may be a crossbow mod that you installed and forgot about.

A few weeks ago, Steam gave out many copies of Dawnguard for free on accident. This is most likely what happened.

FINALLY, an error in my favor! This is almost as good as winning the lottery. :D

Or distant relatives who you suddenly remember that you owe them a lot of money.
