The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dawnguard

released on Jun 26, 2012

The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard is the first official add-on / DLC. Dawnguard revolves around an ancient prophecy predicted by an Elder Scroll. Foretelling the eternal obfuscation of the sun, the scroll gave instructions on how to perform a magic ritual with a mythic bow and a special blood sacrifice. A legion of vampires known as the Volkihar Clan, lead by Lord Harkon, seek to actuate the prophecy by performing the ritual; the Dawnguard, a faction of crossbow-wielding vampire hunters counters their aims. Skyrim's Dragonborn protagonist chooses whether to join the Dawnguard and prevent Nirn from being plunged in an irrevocable night, or assist the vampire coven with realizing their malevolent ambition. introduced in Dawnguard are two unique skill trees, one for vampirism noted as "Vampire Lord" and one for lycanthropy. Twenty-two quests featured in the plug-in; twelve exist in the main quest, with several optional side quests. A few repeatable, radiant quests can also be completed. The questline forks at "A New Order", where allegiance between the Volkihar Clan and the Dawnguard must be selected. The side chosen is irreversible. There are a ton of new items, people and weapons added with this DLC

This DLC might not take you to a vast open world, but what it WILL do is take you to so many interesting places, with new and interesting characters, that to this day playing through this DLC is one of my favorite parts of Skyrim.

Also, the gameplay additions of being a vampire is incredible. Love this DLC so, so much.

The voice acting is 10x better than the base game and it's kind of funny. Also i like werewolf skilltree.

Characters I care about and choices that change your experience of the game forever, incredible

pelo menos FINALMENTE apresenta um bom enredo, e a única companion possível que é a serana, que talvez seja a única personagem bem desenvolvida no jogo.
de resto, continua com os mesmos defeitos, mas também as qualidade, as armas e armaduras novas são lindas demais!

Being a vampire is pretty cool and I like the story, but it doesn't offer as much as Dragonborn did.

I absolutely love the vampire setting but unfortunately "Dawnguard" doesn't bring anything new to the table except from some few things here and there.

The story is decent and the new characters are pretty cool but what surprised me the most is the boss fights, they are quite challenging and they look awesome.

There are also some interesting powers and magic spells which are very fun to use.

New armor sets and unique weapons that make the gameplay more diverse which I enjoyed.

Having said all that I think Dawnguard is a solid expansion, it offers some interesting things despite its short length and lack of side content.

Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.
