DAWNGUARD

[n1rual]

Dawnguard is by far the worst questline in the game. Literally feel like playing wow, get to a new area, collect everything and move on. ♥♥♥♥ story, ♥♥♥♥ characters, its not even worth being vampire. literally came back to skyrim after like 3 years and started modding and this questline takes my whole motivation to play the game even after i spent 3 whole days modding it

Same here exactly, although I did play it again on SE one time and one time only.

Side note: Talk about not making sense. My screen name is in reference to the basis of the real life person for Bram Stoker's fictional character Dracula. But I don't play vampire side of Dawnguard as a rule.

Dracula is the Transylvian for the "Son of the Dragon".
Vlad Tepes's father took the Nickname "Dracul" which derived from Draco, Greek for Dragon.

Bram Stokers Count Dracula was in fact based on a 15th Century real figure called Vlad the Impaler. Vlad III

Now the Real Vlad Tepes never owned a Castle in Transylvania, never even visited there.

However, Vlad III's father (Vlad II) did in fact own a castle in Transylvania.

I polished up on my history regarding Vlad decades ago when I was Executive Producer on a indie horror film using Vlad as the main character. Soon afterwards I adopted "Vlad" for my xbox name.

I remember watching a history channel thing on vlad like 14 years ago. They explained that he was the inspiration for dracula and they kinda argued that Vlad was actually MORE of a monster.

He once eliminated all poverty in his entire realm by inviting all the poor people to a banquet, barring the doors, and burning the place down with everyone inside.

Was a very interesting and disturbing documentary.

He was very Draconian....
And is still viewed as a saint in Romania.

Didn't know Vlad III never visited Transylvania, but given his father did, the point still stands, Dracula was the Son of the Dragon.... Romanian version of Pendragon...

While this was prior to the release of Dawnguard... as far as playing a vampire, it was my most memorable gaming experience. At that time, you could be attacked on sight by everyone in the game, if you were stage 4.

I wanted to see if I could complete any ques... well, anything at all, really. I left Helgan with an Imperial and ran to the nearest Vampire den. I waited for a week and at stage 4, we entered Riverwood for the first time.

I utilized the Imperial power on a regular basis. Sneak into a store, use the power to calm everything in the cell, do the personal quest or task for the shop owner, use power on them again to turn in the quest and you're good. They remain friendly. Unless, you feed and return to stage 4. Which, I found out by accidentally feeding a couple of times.

Being in the Companion Circle ceremony was the most hilarious. Half way through, the town goes on aggro. Because you are friendly with the Companions, they focus their eyes on the town folk. As soon as you exit dialogue, they attack in your defense. LOL

We filmed parts of the movie in Romania and obviously we couldn't use the real life Vlad's castle. Stoker is Legendary even there (Romania) for basing the book Dracula on Vlad.

There is a mod called Timing is Everything where you can still keep the DLC for your mods but delay the onset of vampire attacks or even the prompt to start the quest line if that's the issue. If not, then simply don't play the quest line. I certainly don't feel like it every play through.
