    Gameplay trailer released before E3

    Skyrim Dawnguard : Gameplay Trailer - YouTube

    For those that do not like watching videos.

    Dawnguard introduces two new(ish) factionss Vampires and Dawnguard. You can choose one or the other and I'm sure there is a matching storyline for both. As a vampire you have access to a new perk tree granting all sorts of powers such as turning into a group of bats to avoid combat for a little bit. Telekinesis to hover enemies and fling them. And you can fly a bit cause you know...you have wings and look badass.

    The Dawnguard hunt the vampires and get crossbows which uses the Archery perk tree.

    Some other stuff, at some point in the DLC story you visit one of the Oblivion planes. There will be new elder scrolls (or elder scroll, the trailer showed one but the guy talked about numerous scrolls). You will be given a fort (depending on which of the two factions you pick) to edit as you please (I hope more options than currently available for improving a house).

    Oh and there will be new shouts. One shout described rips the soul out of enemies and creates an undead minion out of them.

    Comes out June 26th

    I already know in my first playthrough I will be a vampire. I'll probably play through it in a different person as the Dawnguard.

    I heard that you will no longer be attacked on sight as a Stage 4 Vampire, only if you become a vampire lord. this **** true?

    I'm not sure, but in prep for this I just started a new character. She's a "Cleric", with heavy armour and a mace; but instead of a shield she uses wards (something different). She also has all of the Clericy spells (turn undead, animate corpse, healing hands, etc.) I can't wait for the DLC so I can sign up as one of the Dawnguard.

    Should my Altmer Wizard Mithrandir become a Dawnguard or a Vampire? It's a very tough decision. I guess I'll go Dawnguard and then make my other character Leroy Brown the Redguard Knight into a Vampire Lord.

    Also there will be a werewolf perk tree and it is 10-20 hours of content. It will cost $20 bucks.

    Being a Cleric is probably the most fun I've had since my first character. Especially when there are allies around as I can just focus on making sure that they don't die.

    You can become a werewolf to live out any Team Jacob fantasies you may have.

    Been browsing the steam workshop a lot and found a full replica map of hyrule. **** I'm so excited to use the creation kit I'm giddy like a schoolgirl. Either way, isn't "hearth fire" the name of the next DLC after "dawnguard" or has that not been confirmed yet... I'm guessing it hasn't but eh.

    Hard choice for me, make my rogue go Vampire and aid in my sneakiness... or go Dawnguard and utilize dem crossbows with my amazing lvl 100 archery.

    I think I'll go vampire and try to steal a crossbow to use.

    As for my other character, the expansion might as well be called "Brawnguard" my Lesbionic Sheman Werewolf will just tear through those vamps like they were Japanese paper walls. (totally going with Dawnguard on her)

    Idk if this has been posted yet but...

    [​IMG]

    There was lots of juicy info in the kotaku article.

    If this is how it will continue for the rest of the DLC, I'm going to be pretty ****ing broke by the end of this.

    Starting up a new character just to get back into skyrim and out of excitement for dawnguard. I'm thinking all magic this time around.
