Talk:The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard/Archive 1

Are there new armour and weapons for the vampires as well as the dawnguard?
There seems to be light and heavy armours for dawnguard, there are new armor for vampires like vampire boots, vampire gloves, and ect. 121.216.125.43 06:36, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Crossbow,some unique items, and armored troll are benefits for joining the dawnguard

Being a badass vampire for joining the vamps

New dragonbone weapons for all, not sure about armor but probably some new

Ghostlogic (talk) 04:07, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Vampires get some sweet-looking armor as a starter for joining. No weapons as far as I can tell, but one quest does give a set of special Vampire robes that give a %125 Magicka Regen buff. Fimmion (talk) 06:26, June 27, 2012 (UTC)Fimmion

ADMIN NEEDS TO REMOVE THAT TRAILER ANALYSIS OF THE STORYLINE SECTION
whoever posted that does not know what the storyline is because the storyline hasn't been released yet. These people only analyzed the trailer or went to a site that analyzed it. Wiki is supposed to be a site of user uploaded facts not some random guys speculation. The person who posted the storyline says that Harkon (If that is who the bad guy is) "seeks to destroy the sun". well guess what? I saw an analysis that thinks he merely wants to blot out the sun. My point is, nobody knows anything about dawnguard right now so we should all leave something like "[SPECULATION]" or "[Based on trailer analysis]" before posting, and provide legitimate sources not the game trailer you analyzed.


 * Much of the new information (Harkon, etc) is from the latest issue of Game Informer magazine, hence very very likely to be true. It's not random speculation from the preview trailer.


 * Jimeee (talk) 18:49, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

No Speculation
Alright, I thought I'd mention this before it starts. I think that we should keep speculation off this talk page, and provide sources for all info posted here. We don't need a metre-long page of speculation, and the fact and guesses would get mixed up.

````Yeah, we don't need inexperienced people sharing their stupid and useless opinions to change this into a spam page. All the info we have is on the picture, which is The Dragonborn(Bethesda's representation of him) with glowing eyes and some type of arrows(most likely bound or falmer arrows) equiped. Hopefully the DLC will come shortly. :)````Superpyro

its kind of obvious where its gonna take place......
I mean, about the size of shivering isles, home of the snow elves leader, in skyrim: guys, its Solstheim


 * Actually, not necessarily. They could add another region, or even include part of another region (for instance, travel to the part of Hammerfell still holding out against the Aldmeri Dominion). Anythings possible! Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 11:02, May 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can't wait to see what they come up with! no matter what it is. I'm getting bored re-doing all of the quests on my 5th character. - Alduin's Bane


 * They are adding to edges of map, vamps are in north /hunters south, 1 realm of oblivion
 * -- E3 booth tour --> talk about how they are not opening gates not adding new area but expanding skyrim borders ---> later info tells about oblivion realm
 * Ghostlogic (talk) 04:09, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Faction
there are two factions, The Dawnguard and the northen skyrim Vampires (the Volkihar).

(Osbornia (talk) 00:51, June 2, 2012 (UTC))

No Mention Of Snow Elves
It is really annoying me that no one actually notices what the vampires in the dlc actually are! they are called Volkihar and no where does it say anything about snow elves, although it mentioned the falmer the de-evolved version of the snow elves (apart from the scarce scenes of some falmer skulking around), the animation for the snow elf prince will most likely be for a different addon (maybe an addon about the snow prince starting a war with the nords.....again.)

(Osbornia (talk) 00:55, June 2, 2012 (UTC))

i was thinking that since there was that snow elf in the trailer, they could be involved to some extent. like maybe harkon tells you about some ancient ice magic you need to take from the snow prince

it was a falmer not a snow elf look at the eyes2.220.104.132 02:33, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

@Osbornia: But the Snow Prince was killed during the Nords campaign against the Falmer(Snow Elves) after the "Night of Tears," right?(Falloutghoul (talk) 18:44, June 11, 2012 (UTC))

@2.220.104.132: The Falmer ARE the Snow Elves, just mutated from living in subterranean caves and eating Glowing Mushrooms. (Falloutghoul (talk) 18:44, June 11, 2012 (UTC))

yeah but i said they were different because of that plus patch 1.5 data says data for a snow elf prince so i said it to avoid confusion176.248.221.32 19:21, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

there are totally snow elves, SPOILer the person who has you kill the guy to get the bow is a snow elf, and then the boss is a vampire snow elf controlling the falmer

Karstaag
The new giant-looking creature seems to resemble the Karstaag monster from Bloodmoon. Shouldn't this be added to the article?

http://uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Karstaag

Dark Auk (talk) 03:07, June 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * This is true, but seeing as we don't even have our own page on the Karstaag, it would not be very useful to mention this.


 * Jimeee (talk) 08:57, June 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * However, we probably SHOULD have a page for Kastaag. 08:59, June 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm sure we will soon, we have a guy working on Bloodmoon creatures at the moment and I think he will be adding it soon.
 * Jimeee (talk) 09:15, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Grammar
After reading the article I noticed quite a few grammatical mistakes. I would like to fix them but if that is not possible someone should fix them. Epzo (talk) 06:03, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

I second this. This page is rife with grammar mistakes, and it's driving me crazy that I cannot edit it. Arctistor23 (talk) 03:00, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Did Anyone Else Notice...
While the Character is seen riding the Skeletal Horse, he appears to have a New Sword sheathed beside him. Also, during the Mounted Combat Scene, there is new Armor. Dannylaz (talk) 08:11, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Actually it was a crossbow that was sheathed if you look closely.

I did take note of the new armor and i saw the sword but didnt think much of it. im a little intersted because it looked like someone was on the dragon's back.

Oh. Well all that new information really blows my theory that the "Vampires" are really the Tsaesci (evidence being their reptilian-like appearance) and the portal is a teleportation device to Akavir. And the whole thing about the wierd realm shown in the trailor with the purple sky is a realm of oblivion, I could have sworn that those were Ayleid ruins! Maybe this will explore the fate of the Wild Elves? Probably not.

I think that the only explanation is if it is dawnguard armor and weapons, unless there is another new faction that has it's own armor, i think it looks really cool and hope it is actually decent although i probably won't use it.

The Dawnguard have their own armor, heavy and light with a passive resistince to catching Vampiris and vampire powers, in several colors (Brown, grey, Rust red, Dark brown). I'm not sure of the base stats though. Vampires also have their own armor as well, Royal armor and standard armor, the standerd coming in several colors as well. (gray, dark grey, red). The royal armor is enchanted for 125% magica regen, and is the armor Harkon has in the trailer.

How can you even know that about the armor? I mean all bethesda released was a short trailer and some gameplay at E3. Did you win the Dawnguard beta test that I heard about? Just asking.

A friend got two codes. So yes, I did get into the beta. It's awesome, even in beta form, but there are still some aspects that remind you that it is just a Beta. Like the paragons.

Vampire lord and shout
The vampire lord in dawnguard is named Harkon. There is a new skill tree for vampires. Theres shout that steals the soul called soul tear Info/

Are they vampire lords or sith lords? :(

@Previous Poster: This isn't Star Wars.(Falloutghoul (talk) 18:47, June 11, 2012 (UTC))

hey what if you are a were wolf now but you want ot be a vampire on the dlc will i have to make a new character
no but you will need to purify yourself of the wolf blood by burning a glenmoral witch head and defeating your wolf spirit (sorry if i misspelled anything btw) {C}72.200.56.49 20:48, June 10, 2012 (UTC)dogman100

release date is set for jne 26th, confirmed by tood howard on gametrailers tv live feed from E3

get us a definite reference and we should be able to edit the page Arctistor23 (talk) 22:01, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

no becoming a vampier lord will cure you of being a werewolf176.248.221.32 17:08, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

I agree Todd Howard said it himself at E3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLyTqAQ02B8

And said you could go back to werewolf if you wanted after, so go give it a try Ghostlogic (talk) 06:24, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

I also heard that lord harkon will automatically purify you as he puts it of the wolf blood when he makes you a vampire lord

Xbox live
can you get this without xbox live?

no2.220.104.132 16:34, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

Not until the XBox's period of exclusivity is over, then it will be released for the PC and PS3. (Which will obviously not need XBox Live).DarthOrc (talk) 08:57, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

i think he meant if you have a Xbox do you need live to get this176.248.221.32 07:55, June 8, 2012 (UTC)

I believe he meant without gold, aka with silver xbox live ---> If so then you will probibily be able to get it without gold, Microsoft has paid for exclusives before and never made the add-on gold only --> gold gives deals, early demos ,multi, streaming video apps ect .... Never seen Any Gold only add-ons.... of course we will not know for sure until microsoft releases it as they did pay cash for the exclusive and can do what they want ... you should clarify your question Ghostlogic (talk) 06:40, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

One can download the DLC with a Silver account. The DLC can be bought at a game store such as Gamestop, so one needn't buy XBox points from Microsoft.DarthOrc (talk) 19:02, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Map Mistake?
Has anyone else noticed that both the reviewers and the wiki say Markarth and Solitude? Solitude is immediately North of Markarth, and is Northwest on the overland Skyrim map. The other point highlighted in red is far Northeast, closer to Windhelm.


 * You may want to check this map and compare it to an image of the altered map seen in the trailer, you should then be able to see that it is clearly Markarth and Solitude. Tom Talk 21:29, June 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * It still seems closer to either Dawnstar or Winterhold, by that map.


 * Well it doesn't to me, reviewers and the seemingly the other users, or at least those users that have edited this page. Trust me when I say, you're wrong, I can't tell you what you see but it is clearly Solitude. Just look at the layout of the landscape, it shows that it is Solitude, you can even see the arch that Solitude is on. I don't know what to tell you really as I'm not really sure how you can see what you are claiming to be seeing, just pay closer attention to the details of the map. You can see the symbols of Markarth and Solitude as well - all be it altered - but you can see the ram or Markarth and the wolf of Solitude. Tom Talk 21:02, June 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * To clear up the confusion. I made a comparison of the original Skyrim map and the map in the Dawnguard trailer, twisting and reshaping the Skyrim map to roughly overlay the Dawnguard trailer map. I inserted letters to make it easier to find match points on the maps. It should clearly show that the map in the Dawnguard trailer is the Skyrim map, but then slightly rotated and stretched. Tom is very right.Dawnguardmap.jpg --Saratje (talk) 20:02, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Dawnguard are in bottom right east of riften

Ghostlogic (talk) 10:56, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Vampire lord and vampires.
What does this mean for normal vampires, does this add on give all vampires the new powers and shape shifting or is a vampire lord a separate vampire tribe/species?

Say you got infected by a typical wild vampire, would it give all the abilities of the vampire lord (after DG has been installed obviously) or would they remain the same?

Would harken acknowledge you are already a vampire before joining?

Would Alva notice if you a vampire if you're a VL type of vampire?

Of course, these question can likely only be truly answered by those who have played DG and it has not come out yet. The Cruentus (talk) 15:16, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Only by speaking to Harkon can you become a Vampire Lord. Other vampires do not seem like they are written to transform into a Vampire Lord. Harkon does acknowledge that you are a Vampire, but mocks you, saying you "may have contracted a disease, but you are not a true Vampire." There is no dialogue difference bewtween you and NPCs over whether you're a Vampire Lord or not. Fimmion (talk) 06:23, June 27, 2012 (UTC)Fimmion

Location of Dawnguard Fortress
The Dawguard Fortress is obviously located somewhere in the southern areas of "The Reach" As proven by the dwemer/reach style architecture shown in the trailer, and the red dotted Markarth, also shown in the trailer, the map is obviously a war plan, as can be seen by comparing to the maps found in each hold's imperial/stormcloak office with a the maps, and as seen by the map, the Dawnguard occupy the reach, so therefore the Volkihar must be in Haafingar. Whiterun is the location of the blotted sun in the trailer for a reason that may become essential in the plot, Dragonsreach may hold another secret, to be discovered by the Dragonborn. (If only we had some beta-testers filling us in on what they've done and what it has!) Sicknote45 (talk) 04:22, June 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * One of our admins is BETA-testing Dawnguard, but he's been awfully tight-lipped about it. Maybe we can convince him to leak something, even if it's only verbal acquiescence of what we already assume. -- 04:30, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

I Watched the trailer again, does this mean there is a second elder scroll in skyrim...?

Oh an did anyone see how AMAZING that vampire king guy's armor is, im definetly going dawnguard, i want to kill him and GET THAT ARMOR!

I hope they add ornate like gold armor soon .... Sicknote45 (talk) 06:17, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Fort Dawnguard is in the Rift not the Reach and I don't see any resemblance to Dwemer architecture.

In riften's hold, wow, i was waaaay off, i thought it was in Markarth's hold, THe rift, and leave your name next time Sicknote45 (talk) 15:49, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Expanded
I just added two new images I took from Dawnguard's official trailer.

I hope they will be added!

Fuþark (talk) 00:41, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Release Date
The release date stated is only the release date for Xbox 360. I found this misleading, because the release date for PC and PS3 are still unknown. This could use some clarification.


 * The other release dates are near the bottom of the page, but i'll fix the dates for the infobox.


 * Jimeee (talk) 08:54, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Did someone notice that if you go to General Stats and then click quests, there will be a text at the bottom:

Dawnguard quests completed: 0

They said that the dlc will be out a month later for people on pc and ps3 so if you add 30, I bet you will come pretty close to the release dat,e for you guys.

Nope...added 30 days to the release date for xbox and found that I was actually 60 days short of the still not released 'release date' let alone the actual release of the game...Note to the admins - it's probably a good idea to update that this dlc isn't released for the PS3 yet - people are buying games based on what they think is out only to find it missing.

Nights of the Nine Cliche?
I just realized, Dawnguard may be a Night's of the Nine Cliche...

A king [insert race here] raises from the dead to conquer [insert country here] and leaves the hero to destroy him by siding with the order of [insert order here]

the thing that is different is the option to side with the "bad" guy.

Sicknote45 (talk) 16:19, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

plus you need a few more of these situations to call it a cliche, two games with a semi similar (not at all) plot cant be considered a cliche

New dungeon image
I uploaded an image of one of the new dungeons featured in Dawnguard.

Fuþark (talk) 20:15, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

did you take this from your game or from the trailer of the game? Because as of now it is illegal to upload gameplay images from Dawnguard gameplay that is not already published on a website (trailers of game are okay as well as from youtube videos from press released info such as from gamespot)... Mask2697 (talk) 20:16, June 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, it's from the trailer.

Read about that symbol here.

Fuþark (talk)


 * Okay, just making sure. Sorry for the accusation... Fu-whatever that symbol is-ark...

Question / discussion
So this may sound like a silly question, but are there any indications as to what kind of DLC this will be regarding location, what I mean is will it be similar to Dead Money in NV where you go to a new area, complete the quests and then return with whatever new content (crossbows etc.) or will it just add these new items and allow you to complete dawnguard quests in your own time? I hope someone understands what I'm asking. Thanks :) Mark K Bergin (talk) 14:07, June 21, 2012 (UTC) Mark K


 * It will be nothing like NV, Bethesda has repeatedly voiced their regrets on how DLC content for those games were made. Basically, they made the map a bit bigger so that you can walk further, and added those castles in those new areas. It's just like Skyrim 'grew' a little, with Skyrim looking the same but with new bits grown onto it. Saratje (talk) 01:17, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Normal vampires cannot turn into bats
Hey, all! I would like to clarify on the fact that normal vampires cannot turn into bats, Vampire Lords can. Therefore, this image, if you look carefully at the trailer, shows a Vampire Lord, not a normal vampire.

Proof #1

Both images show a Vampire Lord. Allright, the lesson is over! :P

Note that this is not leaked info, but a mere conclusion that I have made watching carefully both the trailer and the E3 demo.

Fuþark (talk)

Here is a question, anyone recognize that bow in the first picture? Its not daedric and it doesnt look like its the Nightingale bow, so any ideas? Wiki Contributor June 22 7:10 UTC

I thought the bow looked like a dwarves bow in strange lighting to give it that silvery look

I think that bow looks AWESOME! The vampiresque touch is dark and evil.

Fuþark (talk) 16:00, June 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * The image caption clearly states that the bow is a Dragonbone Bow. -- 16:03, June 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I dont think it is.
 * Here is an image of the Dragonbone bow:
 * images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120621150215/elderscrolls/images/2/25/Dragonbone_bow.png


 * And here is the image Fuþark provided us:
 * images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120622003709/elderscrolls/images/f/ff/Vampire_Lord_comparison_1.png


 * The picture Fuþark provided shows a strong light source coming from the right as well as from the front. So its safe to say, that this coloration is intentional.


 * Looking over the bows and others provided on this wiki, it does not match any see so far when compared to the one showed in Fuþark's Proof #1 image. It has a fairly angular looking appearence and an ebony-like coloration to it. Its not an ebony bow since it has a far more detailed appearence, its not the Nightingale bow since the design of it is fairly curved, and its definitly not the daedric bow since it does not have the red glow or the silver curve. So is this an entirely new bow or is it a glitch within Bethesda's own tailer?


 * (Edit: Removed illegal link)


 * wiki contributor 21:35, June 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was unaware of the bow in the second image. Difficult to see since it's practically the same color as the background. At any rate, it could be one of multiple things: Auriel's Bow, Cannon of Aetherius (or Aetherius Gun), or Zephyr (Karliah's Bow). These items were mentioned in a Russian leak of the Dawnguard BETA. -- 22:28, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Dawnguard delayed for non English territories
From @ElderScrolls:

Dawnguard will be out Tusday for 360 in English. 1.6 patch for 360 coming next week and Dawnguard FIGS will be out mid-July.

FIGS = France, Italy, Germany, Spain.

Price
How much will it be in Microsoft Pointa? Any ideas? And size, how much will it be in Gigabytes?

As stated in the article, it will be 1600 points. Mark K Bergin (talk) 14:02, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Id guessitimate its gonna be about 2 gigs or 1.5 judging on the size of shivering isles

I believe the download was about 563 megs or somewhere around there, big but no Shivering Isles for sure ~8Shell

Possible Increased Health?
So I was on GameInformer (using the links from the references at the bottom of the page), and I noticed a level 46 Vampire Lord with 745 health, on the skill tree. I'm curious as to see if there will be increased health for this new addition. Of course, he could just have enchanted armor to grant him/her more health, but still... I thought it was worth mentioning. DraGGonized (talk) 04:58, June 24, 2012 (UTC)DraGGonized Ghostlogic (talk) 06:43, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Mounted Combat
Is not part of the dlc, as it's available right now. So does anyone have a problem if I remove that from this article? Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 05:00, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

It's being added to consoles since it isn't available for them yet.  ╚╦ Θάνατος  ╦╝  00:11, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

But its available to 360 users. Its just no available for PS3 users., The king of war (talk)The king of war.

How can I join the Dawnguard!
I have been looking for the Dawnguards so many times. I really need some help here.

The Guards dont help. Pressed A over and over but no success.

Most Inn rumors dont tell anything.

I have checked the Daysprings Canyon over and over but I couldn't see the cave.

No couriers coming.

Says level 10 but I am Level 28.

Where could the facial guy in the ratways be?

If one of you is so kind, plz reply.

Jackalex13 (talk) 14:35, June 26, 2012 (UTC)Jackalex13

To find the Dawnguard Castle you must walk around any major city(or so I believe as I was walking around Whiterun,Windhelm, and Riften and heard talk from all of them)and the guards will mention the Dawnguard being brought back and their eagerness to join.Like most places of interest guards talk about they will enter the location on your map and you will have the option to search for the Dawnguard.I suggest talking to the guards in Riften since it is the closest hold to the Dawnguard. ~8Shell

P.S. Look at the above question for your answer on the Facial Change

Do you need to create new profile for dawn guard?


 * Only if you joined the vampires and can't reload an older save. I guess what your asking is: do you need to create a new character to play the DLC? The answer is no. You can use your pre-existing Skyrim files. In fact, some of the things you do/do not do in Skyrim will affect your Dawnguard playthough. -- 18:57, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Is Harkon always bad?
Posting this because I'm sure there are at least fifteen different ways to end the questline. Is it possible to side with Harkon and actually put the sun out forever? It seems like even without siding with the Dawnguard and going with the Vampires that the quest is rigged to stop Harkon. Fimmion (talk) 06:33, June 27, 2012 (UTC)Fimmion

I went Vamp - Sided w/ Serena and you can use auriels bow + cursered arrow to put out sun for a short time. Never felt compeled to give him bow as he plans on killing me since i was too strong.

Ghostlogic (talk) 18:33, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

No matter witch side you chose, you kill harkon, and even if you join the dawnguard you can still become a vampire after completing the main (DLC) quest line If you ask Serena... No matter what you do you get the same outcome.

Restoring Lycanthropy
It says on the article that there is a way to get your lycanthropy back after you have become a vampire lord. Is anyone gonna bother explaining how? My bet is that you can cure your vampirism the same way you could before the DLC, and since werewolves have now become wild animals encountered on occasion I think all you have to do is get attacked by them and pick up the disease. Am I right? Please someone elaborate. I want my lycanthropy back! 174.3.19.139 06:33, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Talk to Aela the Huntress and she can restore your lycanthropy. Revan460 (talk) 20:15, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

If Aela is dead before playing Dawnguard, you cannot return to lycanthropy.

When are we actually going to get Wiki pages on this?
I've already beat Dawnguard. It was a lot shorter than they claimed it to be (Roughly the same size as Shivering Isles, ONLY if you include every quest available in Dawnguard, and exclude Knights of the Nine in Oblivion), however, there are a lot of unanswered questions. The biggest ones would have to be, HOW DO I GET RID OF THE 3, 20lb ELDER SCROLLS IN MY INVENTORY??? I don't get why they even had to be 20lbs in the first place, but after all is said and done, that's 60lbs floating around in my inventory, completely wasting nessesary space needed to do other things.

When are the pages gonna be made?

Vampire Lord while playing for Dawnguard
I heard that at one point in the dawnguard side(prior to soul cairn) you can ask serana to make you a vampire lord. Is this true? In which case do the dawnguard disown you?

It's true. Once you do this, some DG members will recommend you go see Falion about that cure, and others will show disdain towards you, but no one will attack you automoatically. -EEDDDWWWAARRRD

Summon Totem perks do not work
Neither of the summoning perks seem to work at all. I can howl all day and night and nothing shows up.

You need to first complete the Totems of Hersine quests with Alea. After completing the Compainions quest line talk to Alea and she will give you the quests, there are 3 in all. After you get the Totems you need to activate them (like shrines) you can only have one active at a time.

death hounds as vampire member
when you join the vampires, you can also get the two death hounds roaming the castle to follow you, just talk to them. 98.71.103.134 10:15, June 28, 2012 (UTC)miah

Detect all creatures
Ok won't let me edit, but the perk "detect all creatures" is detect all creatures, including Dwarven Animunculi. If someone can edit it (on the vampire lord perk tree) that'd be great! Putowtin- Light Love and Peace 20:56, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Does anyone know about the new character in the ratways it mentions?
I really need to change my character's face 90.198.49.52 07:01, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Head into the ragged flaggon bar, she's sitting in a chair opposite the bar.


 * She's sat on the raised area in the Ragged Flaggon, over looking the water, she will start a conversation with you when you get close enough, be warned, she cannot alter your features if you're "Undead".

Character Makeover
It should be added that the character who changes the Dragonborn's face is located in the Ragged Flagon, not the Ratway itself, and that the Dragonborn's face can only be changed if he/she is not a vampire. Octagonapus97 (talk) 03:43, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Return to Werewolf Option Flawed
The new option, to becoming a werewolf after purging lycanthropy, is fundamentally flawed. Apparently, the only way to become a werewolf again is to speak with the NPC character Aela the Huntress in the Companions faction. The real problem I encountered is that this character has been dead in my world long before the DLC was realeased. Plainly speaking, Bethesda did not think this new option all the way through. If this was going to be our only option to return to lycanthropy, why did they make it so that a previously non-essential character become a terriblly essential one? For those like me, who have lost Aela and unwittingly purged their lycanthropy away forever to attain vampirism, we are out of any manner of luck on this situation. I know that Bethesda has a history of inadvertantly creating game breaking loopholes, but this could have been remedied easliy in a number of ways. Perhaps making it so that any of the Companion memebers could help u return to lycanthopy, or let you perform the ritual yourself at some alter, or returning Aela back to life and make her unkillable. Bad show Bethesda, really bad show.


 * I don't think this falls on bethesda's shoulders, unless a glitch caused her death. If not, it was your fault entirely. If you're after the achievement, just start a new game; it takes about an hour max to eat enough people to gain all of the perks, although it takes somewhat longer to contract lycanthropy, which is a pain in the ass, especially when Farkas sends me off to bumfuck egypt to kill a hagraven at level 5. I also tend to agree, somewhat. There should be a permanent way to become a werewolf, especially since werewolves were "allegedly" added as random encounters (I haven't seen one yet). Maybe they could have added an encounter where if a werewolf nearly kills you, it sometimes instead turns you into a werewolf and runs off (not sure if lycanthropy works this way in Elder Scrolls though).


 * it is beth's fault, but probably only an oversight. if she is the only NPC capable of returning you to lycanthropy (since farkas and vilkas get cured), probably they should have made her marked as essntial (unkillable no matter what). - El Barto 227


 * I hope they do mark her as essential cos i married her now shes stuck inside my house so she doesnt get killed and im pretty sure shes not happy with me 90.198.49.52 06:34, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Blood-Starved Vampire Bug?
After I downloaded Dawnguard I noticed something odd. Being a Vampire, I tend to become Blood-Starved and people attack me. But after I downloaded Dawnguard, people did not attack me after becoming Blood-Starved. Is this a bug, or did Bethesda add it in and forget to chage the dialogue box for becoming Blood-Starved? I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, just wondering.

I do not believe that that is a bug. The Vigilants of Stendarr will still attack you, though.

It is intentional, I heard multiple times before the DLC was released that vampires will only be attacked while in beast form, and no longer human form.

Which Faction?
Which faction should I join? I want the vampire powers, but I also want the awesome crossbows. Is there a way to get both, somehow?

Admin needs to put in that you must be at least lvl 10 before you can obtain the starting quest.

And that has what to do with my question?

Yes, you can get both regardless of what side you choose. If you choose the Dawnguard, Serana is a possible follower who can transform you into a vampire during one of the quests (won't get more into it, don't wanna spoil anything), or after the entire questline is completed. Just know that once you become a vampire, the Dawnguard will cut you off until you cure yourself, so I suggest becoming a vampire after you've completed the Dawnguard questline. If you choose to go with the vampires, Dawnguard members will come attack you randomly during and after the questline, and most of them have crossbows (and the Dawnguard weapons & armor if that interests you) that can be looted off of their bodies.

If I side with the Dawnguard, can I still get that undead horse thing and the new shout?

Yes, both the shout and the horse are recieved from miscellaneous quests within the Soul Cairn; not the vampires themselves, which you go to regardless of what side you choose.

Ender of Worlds (talk) 19:45, July 3, 2012 (UTC)Ender of Worlds

I'll side with the Dawnguard then. I just won't get a free house at the end.

Some stuff to add and a question
To the "Combat" section, in the last paragraph:

'''New shouts are also included in the add-on. One shout called Soul Tear can be learned from Durnehviir, an undead Dragon found in the Soul Cairn[8]. This shout allows the Dragonborn to steal the soul of a defeated enemy and raise their soul as an undead minion [2]. '''

Add:

'''The shout Summon Durnehviir, which is also learned from Durnheviir, summons the undead dragon from the Soul Cairn to aid you in battle, similar to Odahviing's Call Dragon. Unlike Odahviing, however, Durnheviir will use the Drain Vitality and Frost Breath shouts rather than Fire Breath. Another new shout, called Drain Vitality, will drain health, stamina, and magicka from enemies. This is the only new shout that is found on word walls across Skyrim rather than learned from Durnheviir. ''' In the "Creatures" section, it needs to be added that Revered Dragons are a new enemy as well.

Now as to the question, I personally want to know what that special power Isran has is called, and if you can get it yourself. When in battle against vampires (I believe it's vampire-specific), he can surround himself in a golden glow that looks similar to ward spells, which I assume damages vampires that get too close. I assumed you would get it during one of the Dawnguard quests, but you never do and I don't see any options to talk about it. Anyone know anything about that? Ender of Worlds (talk) 07:14, July 3, 2012 (UTC)Ender of Worlds

Ender of Worlds, the spell is called Stendarr's Aura, and you can use it. You just have to buy it from a person in the Dwanguard. (I don't remember who.)

Updated with new information
Got more info over the Dawnguard werewolf skill tree,

Bestial strength- Level 1 Do 25% more damage as a werewolf Level 2 Do 50% more damage as a werewolf Level 3 Do 75% more damage as a werewolf Level 4 Do 100% more damage as a werewolf.

Totem of Ice Brothers- Summon two ally ice wolves with a howl.

Savage Feeding- Able to feed of most dead creatures. Feeding off creatures instead of people only provides half the extended time.

Hope this helped to get the werewolf skill tree completed up.

I got my lycanthropy back once but then got turned into a vampire lord and now want to b werewolf again because i like it better but now i cant again. It doesn't really seem fair that u can get turned into a vampire lord over and over again and not a werewolf. Is there a way? HelpCwilder7 (talk) 21:05, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

I never became a vampire lord since i never became a guy with magicka, but i think you should be able to drink the werewolf blood by the companions cave again and become a werewolf again, but i'm not sure.

The Elder Scrolls
This is something that should be addressed. How do I remove the three Elder Scrolls (Dragon) (Blood) (Sun)? To aquire the (Dragon) Elder Scroll I had to buy it back from Urag gro-Shub but now that im done with it he wont buy it again.

Formatting
I think it's a good idea to create a new heading "quests" as I think linking to the quests here on dawnguards main page will make things more convienient for everyone. Ecspecially those who wish to edit/add to the quest articles as this is the page most people will come to first when searching for dawnguard.

My question is should I merely link to the dawnguard quests main page "" or list and link to all the individual quests in a similar fashion to what has been done on the quests page?

Suddenly a Hybrid?!
Okay. I'm a werewolf, I've beat the DLC without ever becoming so much as ever becoming a Vampire. But while I'm freely cruising around the Soul Cairn, I'm informed that I have just become a stage one Vampire! I don't know how it's possible, but I guess I'm now a natural Vampire/Werewolf Hybrid...P.S. This is on Xbox, so no console codes or intended glitches were used. (Ultraman468)

No, you have not become a vampire lord AND werewolf. You have been attacked by a vampire from a dungeon, these guys are already in game before you download the Dawnguard DLC, this adds weaknesses like the sun. But also gives you powerful abilities. There is a cure but I forgot. 122.149.143.46 10:11, September 1, 2012 (UTC)Unknown

Germany release
Just wanted to say that Dawnguard was released today in germany. Seems like Bethesda forgot to twitter the release date.

Bugs in non-english versions
Can somebody please add the numerous bugs known to exist in the French, Italian, German and Spanish versions of Dawnguard? They could be damn well useful in the DLC's main page.

Here's one of the most ridiculous ones:

If the patch does come out in the next few days, then nevermind.

Loading problems
I am having a bit of a problem, i downloaded dawnguard from the internet (in .zip format) and unzipped it and added the files (a .bsa and .esm file) to the data folder of my skyrim copy. However, when i start up the launcher i cannot access the "data files" section, it does not "light up" like the others and i am stuck. Does anyone know a fix? Please help i want the add-on so bad. (Nemerian (talk) 14:51, August 7, 2012 (UTC))

Siding with the Dawnguard and completing the questline as a werewolf has a random glitch of turning you into a hybrid where you have every vampire power except vampire lord form while being able to keep beast form power and have a weakness to the sun...it sucks how do you stop the glitch?

How do I uninstall Dawnguard?
How to I uninstall Dawnguard

I just bought my house in whiterun on xbox 360, and as I went to buy the in house stations, I found that I can buy the alchemy station, but it doesnt register it as bought, and keeps the option up as purchaseable, even though Proventus Avenicci keeps on taking my gold. I heard that a solution is to un, install the Dawnguard add on, buy the alchemy station, and re install it. However I don't know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated, even if there is another thoery to fix this.BrothersBondBrothersBond (talk) 07:38, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Mounted combat not exclusive to Dawnguard
The mounted combat (under Combat heading) was patched in either on or before Dawnguard was released (Patch 1.6 I believe) and even those without Dawnguard recieved it. Not sure it belongs on this page.

PS3 Release date updates
Ok I had doubts at first but now it seems that this wiki is made up of Microsoft fanboys. Someone better create a section regarding news for the PS3 release date. And also the criticisms. It's just stupid not to let know the fans about the delay by just saying the old " we are not satisfied". There have been more than 20 updates since then but there are no clues in this page. Do something fast, for the sake of the PS3 community. And this comes from a PC gamer. This just shows how uninformed this wiki is or what Xbox fanboys are composing it.

Signature? And yes, I agree. Someone please post the updates for the Playstation 3 so we know what's happening! --Falloutghoul (talk) 22:09, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
