Question about the hall of the vigilant and changes with the dlc

[WeylandYutani]

Hi i bought and activated dawnguard and heard from a guard that the hall of the vigilant is destroyed and i fear that i lost quests from the default game in the hall of the vigilant. So my question does the dlc change the hall of the vigilant and make some quests inavaible ?

[WeylandYutani]

Ok i found out that the hall is ok without the dlc so i disabled it at the moment but i want to know if there is any quest with the hall of the vigilant ?

And can i enable the dawnguard dlc again whenever i want ?

thanks

No, there were never any quests for the Vigilants. The only useful thing in there was a Daedra Heart and some other crap you could steal and Keeper Carcette offered Restoration training.

ok thank you and can i reenable the dawnguard dlc whenever i want like i bought it after finished the default game ?

There are, other Vigilant Watchtower etc. which are fine in both vanilla and DLC.

Nvm, it is indeed only destroyed with Dawnguard. There's one NPC there that train Restoration and will die if you enable Dawnguard, though she's not a Master Trainer so she's not that important.

ok thanks i returned to an old savegame and disabled so no problem anymore thanks again

The Hall was not destroyed in the vanilla game... it was destroyed with Dawnguard... And if you really wanted to I guess you could leave Dawnguard disabled until you finished the main quest and everything. It doesnt really effect the main quest at all.

the biggest problem i had was dawnguard doex conflicting the default game as example i had problems with the quest with the werewolf sinding where i cant speak with him or in fight i cant use some abilities and i cant run when my weapons are not holstered. Ill hope this is gone later

In reply to your original question, no quests were lost when the Hall of the Vigilant was destroyed. Keeper Carcette was the only vaguely important NPC there - she was an expert trainer in Restoration (but Colette from the College of Winterhold is also an expert trainer in Restoration, and of course Danica Pure-Spring at the temple of Kynareth in Whiterun is a master trainer).
In addition, Dawnguard introduces another master trainer in Restoration (who you find and bring back to the Dawnguard, if you join the Dawnguard) who also sells powerful anti-undead spells (they function like fireball and flame cloak respectively, but only hurt vampires and other undead, not living creatures).
While Keeper Carcette also would cure your character of diseases for free if you asked, you can get the same effect from any shrine, AND get a buff from that shrine as well.
So basically, you don't lose anything particularly unique or super-useful when the Hall of Vigilants is destroyed, so no need to worry about it! :)

The name of the new master-trainer / vendor for the Dawnguard is Florentius, by the way.

In theory you can get a quest there, but you can also get that quest from somewhere else. It is when a specific item is found in a level 12+ boss chest, and the chest in the basement of that hall has a chance to spawn that item.

But no, you did not miss anything crucial, unless you're a 100 percent completionist. In that case you'd have to clear the hall before it gets destroyed (which means murdering non-hostile NPCs: All inside and two outside, so the location shows as cleared, it also means postponing leveling until you raised pickpocketing really really high - so not worth the effort if you have Dawnguard installed).

Personally, I can not even seem to clear it although I killed everyone. So maybe it is bugged or was patched later to not be clearable anymore.

(And yes, I know the thread is two years old, but there might be other people wondering, so they can be informed.)
