    Just a discussion to see what people are playing for Dawnguard, I'm looking for inspiration! If there's already an existing discussion I'd appreciate it if someone let me know and pointed me in the right direction.

    Will you join the vampire lords or the vampire hunters?

    Gender? Race? Subrace? Skills?

    I have a build in the works that I'm going to use for the Dawnguard playthrough; a Shieldmaiden, I hope to finish my playthrough and upload the build soon (if the site isnt down by then...) But i'll wait till someone posts a good idea for a vampire lord in the Characteer Building group before I play it!

    sounds good, the site might stay open or could relocate, we can only hope! i'm not really looking forward to the Dawnguard, to me it seems like they're a bit underpowered in comparison to the vampire lords. I'll probably play a classic paladin or warrior for the Dawnguard side.

    I'm gonna be rolling with my Paladin for my first playthrough of Dawnguard and then for my second one as the Vampire Lords I'll be going with my Bloodthirster (upcoming build based around absorb health and equilibrium)

    Well they'll be getting new powerful equipment I imagine. Also there will be a werewolf perk tree to balanve out werewolves against the vampires. But I agree they seem a bit underpowered, makes me wonder if they'll have something up their sleeve that Bethesda hasnt shown us yet!

    yeah true Matt, I remember something about armored trolls for the Dawnguard and new sets of dragonbone armor and weapons. That sounds awesome and everything but most characters don't get high enough for dragon weapons. I think the Soul Tear shout is exclusive to them though.

    Wow Ponty, I'd been wondering when another of your amazing builds would be up! That sounds like quite a unique playstyle, I'll probably end up using it for Dawnguard since I seem to worship yours and Mason's builds, when might we see this build?

    <I`m going to play trough being DawnGuard with this guy. (And yes, this guy`s name is Ronald Hedgeborg "Sneak Warrior" and he is a Hero ofcourse.)

    While I am now making a Khajiit for Vamp Lord wich will be named Jo`Shavir. (Wich is a wizard/ thief. and a bad guy.)

    For my first playthrough I'll play with my original khajiit dragonborn siding with the Dawnguard and then with my evil vampire khajiit mage siding with the Vampires

    At least a week or two, got another one coming tomorrow or the next day and then got another quick and simple but surprisingly missing from the group after that!

    This Ronald Hedgeborg sounds very cool Ronald Hedgeborg, I wonder where you got the name Ronald Hedgeborg from..

    A Khajiit vamp lord? God would I love to see a furry vampire lord!

    you sound like a real khajiit fanatic, I do hope vampire lord form changes for different races, it would look a little wierd if a khajiit or argonian vampire lord looked like a nord one.

    My Dunmer mage/vampire will be siding with the vampires.

    Khajiit scumbag looking out for himself and stealing from whoever has the most shiny things.

    Argonian Shaman will likely side with Dawnguard but only until they reveal their purpose, then if it is not in the best interests for Nirn he'll set about thinning their ranks, and also the ranks of the vampires.

    To side completely with Dawnguard i'm torn between a war axe wielding Orc warrior or a Paladin style Nord with the blood of a werewolf.
