Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim

I've completed Dawnguard as a vamp, and am now trying to do it as a Dawnguard. Love it. It's Shivering Isles worthy and totally worth the money (take note Bioware, because I'm yet to say that about ANY Mass Effect DLC).

Spoilers under cut.




Bits of it are silly. But it's beautiful, well written and flexible enough to stay interesting. Frequent vampire or dawnguard attacks (depending on which side you pick, or whether you pick a side at all) keep things interesting. It's a shame you can't marry Serana, as I wanted to build a little vampire nest and see if you can get vampire adoptive kids. I was also kind of hoping you would get more interaction options with existing vampires, like Babette.

There are beautiful, haunting locations, like the Soul Cairn, and Auri-El, and you get to find out more about the Falmer.

It did turn the mage in Solitude's eyes orange / gold, making her vampirism much more obvious.

If you play as a vampire you find out that the 'prophecy' the vampires are following was actually written y a psychotic Falmer vampire.  Furious with the sun god, he needed to entice a pure ' daughter of coldharbour' (Serana) to his lair, so he could block out the sun.
