    Not sure if someone has done this before, but I thought I might post this anyway.
    Basically, who did you choose in the 1st skyrim dlc and why?

    I understand alot of people might have gone through twice with each faction so what is your preference, grizzled vampire hunter or all powerful vampire lord?

    Dawnguard. Mainly cause besides the few side missions and random encounters, I never fought a dawnguard member. They set up this whole war against the dawnguard and yet only on the dawnguard side do you actually have a war. Plus Serana has one of the most heartfelt conversations with you right before you go into the soul cairn

    I think I preferred the Dawnguard stuff. Lots more cool toys to choose from, and their questline had a real sense of urgency. As good as the Volkihar one was I really think the Dawnguard should have had a bigger presence in the main questline, as opposed to just the sidequests.

    The Volhikar vampires, it just fitted my character I was currently playing more. I just like how the Vampire Lord form is very powerfull and how being a vampire affects how you play.

    Dawnguard, because Isran is awesome and they have some nice toys to play with.

    I made my character a full time werewolf, so unlimited transforms and unlimited time, and revert form all with mods. I didn't even spend any perks in weapons because I just kill them all as a werewolf. So since I like to do that I go with the dawnguard. plus the Troll Companion is the only companion I like to keep around.

    Looks like a lot of people are leaning towards dawnguard. just wondering, do the dawnguard have a problem with werewolves?

    I idnt see them have any problems with the wolves. I honestly prefered the vampire I loved the idea of being able to join the bad guys than be forced to fight them!

    Looks like the vampires aren't fighting alone here :) I'm glad the vamps finally got overhaul they needed, Bethesda seems to have made some big improvements on them.

    Volkihar side has given me a ton of fun, especially with my multiple vampire builds. However, the Dawnguard is much more fun. The armor/crossbows and badassery of hunting the vampire demons is too good to pass up.
