User blog comment:Thewikilover/Dawnguard or Vampire? Which side has more benefits?/@comment-4659086-20120714170330

If you want to be a vampire be a vampire for the magic and other cool abilities, but it's big and doesn't fit in some dungeons or most. You get 2 amulets and 2 rings to make you even stronger. The dawnguard has more followers and armor and weapons but near the middle of the quest line you have the oppurtunity to become a vampire lord!! So unless you don't want a super buffed vampire lord or just a regular person with armor then I suggest you pick from those.
