Skyrim as a hole was a massive disappointment, I hope the come back with a new one on the new consoles and create something special like oblivion was.

Bhah! I was, at first, interested, in the reasons of the odd commenter denouncing Skyrim as a disappointment. But if you're basing that to say that Oblivion was the role model to follow, then forget about it. I still don't how much Skyrim takes and doesn't take from Oblivion, but blimey, THAT game was the disappointment, to me.

Not that it wasn't addictive, I spent lots of time on it. But ultimately I always had a bad taste in my mouth as a side effect. The characters, as in theirs models, animations and voicing... very sub-par, way I see it. The sandbox world with lots o' quests, with homes in many towns and being able to mount, that was novelty to me and kept me hooked. Shooting a bow and some spells. The rest though, bah, overrated.

can you still finish the game just by being your original character, which means not turning into vampire or werewolf

This is between vampires and vampire hunters. The option to become a werewolf is not from this DLC. You might simply have already become one when you tackle this quest.

this dlc is a very good one. i have played it two times through as both dawnguard vampire hunter, and a vampire lord. i was disappointed to see that the vampire lord had very few good content stats.

dawnguard armored dogs have higher stats than hell hounds.

gargoyles have ok stats but the armored trolls have better defense.

there are more crossbows in the dawnguard, but more effective spells for the vampire lord. either way the dlc is ok. but i really do hate that the vampire lord is in 3rd porson point of view......

I have played 40 + shooter games and this one is very good, I can follow the main story or go do other quests, I am at level 50 (half way in to the game) so I know what it is about and will play it again, but this time with the dawnguard DLC, I first played doom on xbox several years ago so this game on xbox 360 is great, so if you don't like  it , go play some game more simple so you won't have to think about what  you are doing

boring game after a few hours. crap repetitive quests, TERRIBLE combat system even worse is the ability to climb down/up a mountain on a horse going down the side. guilds? you can join them all no problem, as a mage you can out last a warrior in hand to hand - since you can have 1000 health potions... list goes on and on. yet this somehow got such a high score? i will not be trusting these stupid sites anymore.

20$ is too much

this DLC is only worth10$ at most

but

if youre a dedicated skyrim person

this DLC is a MUST

i would actually like to play this dlc because im lvl 81 and ive completed pretty much everything i want to do, but i cant because i happen to have a ps3. feels like discrimination for buying a ps3 and also it looks like microsoft are trying to get more people to buy an xbox. but why should i buy an xbox just to get dlc earlyer and why should ps3 players and also pc players be punished for microsofts money making scheme

 @Geon106  @infinity_ See that's exactly why they put the price that high! Because suckers like you are sure to buy whatever they make. I bought Skyrim too and its a nice game...but im far from a zombie that just mindlessly spam buys whatever is being thrown out.

@Carnivalshow : Games in general are made for entertainment not underground subculture...so selling out isn't true when they stay true to there passion.

 @carnivalshow Not really a sell out considering all of the licensing agreements and marketing allowed a game such as elder scrolls to even come into fruition.  (+ the xbox users were the beta testers for us PC users, very few bugs so far.

I have an xbox as seen from my review long ago I think its wrong and greedy what they did here tho and you should not buy there other games. Proof i got an xbox 360 check out my review right when skyrim came out was on xbox 360 i got them all pc ps3 and xbox 360. I like them all I think this is really crappy what they did tho and people of every system should not buy there games any more. power to the people.

carnivalshow

If you are a huge fan of skyrim dawnguard like me and you own a pc or ps3 buy this game tho because they came out on xbox first don't buy any other of there games to get even.

I can't understand why reviewer ran down on the animation morphing system? FYI the AMS for the werewolf takes even longer and it last nothing compared to the vampire morph state. What would you expect, not having any animation at all and just trasform in a blink? That review was not fair, even for an RPG lover who's supposed to be objective.

Sometimes I really miss Oblivion. I think Skyrim is a much better game, so it's kinda funny. Except that Oblivion feels much more like a single player MMO than Skyrim does. It had a LOT of gameplay.

Didn't Bethesda once stated that the DLC for Skyrim would be HUGE; nothing like we have ever seen before!? And now all they can come up with is this!? Looks more like money making beats creativity .

 Yeah I'm sure it's a money grab when Skyrim only has hundreds of hours of gameplay.Hundreds of hours and your complaining.

 @geitenvla A lil disappointed as well, but some of the new features are nice. Though they kept teasing "huge" things were coming. I was hoping for new lands something similar to Shivering Isles.

How I hate studios for releasing a great game (a really great game) and then, AFTER MORE THAN half a year, when every normal gamer has already completed the game (or if it doesn't have an end explored it all) and is fed up with it they release a goddamn DLC, one after another for a couple of years. Better if they worked on a new game already instead of this attempt to suck money...

My general impression is that DLCs are more expensive than when the same content is provided on DVD (the case with expansions for Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls etc), which is of course insane, considering there's no copying, warehousing and distribution costs for DLCs.

That's not bad for 12 hours of extra gameplay. I'd get it.

Does anyone really remember the DLC on oblivion? it was about the same percentage for the shivering isles, so yeah why complain? if you are a fan of skyrim 20 bucks for 12 hours is a good win to me, I'll buy

 @Trogeton And that exactly why I waited until the GOTY edition was release for Oblivion. Don't get me wrong, Shivering Isles was a great DLC, but for $29.99, which it still is on PSN and XBL, which Is funny, GTFO here Bethesda! More power to ya, if you think it's worth $20. I can happily wait another year to get everything for a reasonable price.

Why would someone play Skyrim with a 3rd person view?

ADPowers
ADPowers

 @JC_AEK4ever

 I play in 3rd person veiw. The only time i play in first person is when i use my bow, looting things off of shelves and tables, and speaking to characters at times oh and sometimes when i sneak. Plus in third person view you get to see combat animations you don't get to see while in first person view, especially the kill cam animations.

isshiah

 @JC_AEK4ever just when walking around in the world. at least i can turn my character around this time, unlike oblivion.

 @isshiah I meant when you are in a fight and you need to aim. Walking is easy... aiming is not.

 @JC_AEK4ever It's nice to occasionally do it (especially when you get new, cooler armor), but you're right, people who strictly play in third-person are crazy.
