Can we play a vampire, then side with a dawnguard? I hope so. Then I can name my character Alucard, wear a spiffy red cloak and hat, then terminate my vampire brethren with extreme prejudice. Bonus points if one of them ever says `I love war!` at one point.

And don't count the Dawnguard out on the shiny powers front. If memory serves, TES often gives righteous crusaders a few tricks up their sleeve. We just didn't see much of it in the trailer (we think) - for all we know, the dawnies could all be daedra-summoning, flame-slinging Meridia devotees. That would fit with the name...
