Harkon is an idiot

[Solomon Hawk]

So, there he is .. this "all powerful" vampire lord. Thanks me for bringing the elder scroll (attached to his daughter) back to him. Yet, he talks to me as if I've something to gain by becoming like him. He's pretty obviously arrogant and seems to suffer from narcissm ...
This Harkon .. the powerful vampire lord has no clue that I'm the Dragonborn .. the champion of Akatosh.
It begs the question about the people who wrote the story line ... seems these folks forgot all about the Skyrim lore and only as an afterthought thought better about fitting the Dragonborn into the story when he has to enter the Soul Cairn to retreive the Sun Elder Scroll.

We dragonborns are so undervalued.

Don't worry about it, you'll kill him anyways, and raise the average IQ.

How is that different from basically every other storyline in Skyrim? I don't remember anyone from the Dark Brotherhood, Bards, Thieve's Guild, College, etc... ever acknowledge that fact.

Also, you could technically start Dawnguard before ever stepping foot in Whiterun and learning that you are a dragonborn.

If you are the dragonborn, Faralda at the College of Winterhold will, in fact, accept the fact that you are dragonborn in response to her magic test to enter the college. Urag in the Arcaeneum also has a comment about you being dragonborn if you mention it while looking for Elder Scrolls.

Unless you already joined the College, doing the main questline you have to speak to both those characters so its not really surprising that they have dialogue for it. That said, it still stands that the fact that you are the Dragonborn largely doesn't factor into any of the guild storylines in any significant manner. If anything, Dawnguard is the most involving as it requires you to progress to a point in the main questline because of the Elder Scrolls.

Dragonborns are very rare occurences. You are the most recent one in like a thousand years, unless you consider the septim bloodline.

And most people consider things like that legends. Like Alduin is a god in the nordic pantheon which most people consider make believe and not true

[kaiyl_kariashi]

Except for the Dragonborne xpack main quest, the main quest (and any sub-quests related to it), and the civil war, none of the other quests in the game require you to be dragonborn.

Of course, with exception to the mage college stuff, no one else is any the wiser for it even if you are.

"There's talk among the guards that you might be... Dragonborn... such a thing can't be true... can it?"

[Skyrimnut]

Lol, let me not get started on Dawnguard's plotholes. I still love the dlc though, especially for its touches of unintentional humor. Like when I as dragonborn tell Isran that I couldn't take out Harkon and his group after I deposit Serana cause I was "by myself", which just prior to that I had taken down an entire catecomb full of draugr deathlords, vampires, and Queen Potema, then proceeded to vanquish a frost dragon on my way back to Solitude, by myself. But nooooo, I, for some reason, can't kill a couple of vampires and their dogs cause I was by myself. I still laugh whenever I come to that dialogue.

Most vampires are idiots. I mean, they live in caves and hide from people when there is a cure which isn't expensive nor difficult. Everything they need for it is often in their lairs.

I suspect most probably don't consider the gods of Nirn to be make believe as magic exists, the daedra are well known and only two hundred years earlier the Oblivion crisis was caused by Dagon trying to enter Tamriel and the Civil war is over Talos worship.

Cure for immortality that comes with vampirism?
I doubt that most vampires wouldn't consider that as something positive to their stage.

I didn't want the sun to go away, i just didn't want negative effects from the sun, while still being a vampire...and not needing to drink blood every hour

Three threads necroed in less than an hour? Seriously?

[Taiwan Number One]

I kind of approve of this necro as Harkon being an inept villian can never be stated enough.
