Imagine worshipping literally the worst possible Daedric Prince and selling your daughter to said Daedric Prince, only to read some edgy self insert Snow Elf fanfic as prophecy and get killed by some random guy who arrived in Skyrim a few months ago.
Virgin Molag Bal •Demands virgin and child sacrifice •Literal god of slavery •Makes you torture α man to death just to talk to him •Followers can’t go outside for 12 hours of the day Chad Hircine •You kill 8 of his followers, just says “Damn that was fire tho” and gives you his ring •Free venison stew to go with your communion to α divine entity •The hunt is neverending •Only downside is insomnia (which you have already in real life anyway, let’s face it)
I didn’t mean to cause the apocalypse in Skyrim, I just saw a dragon, I equiped the first arrows that I found and because that lizard was flying right in fromt of the sun, I shot there then it happened. Whoops.
There is every reason to stay with the dawnguard. You get badass crossbows, and armoured troll followers, and if you want to become a vampire lord you can still ask Seranna to give you a Iil bite. Dawngaurd for life.
The only thing about the vampire route is you get some really good rings on a side quest that benefit magic and vampire characters. Also like infinite human cattle but even so all of that isn't worth giving up the crossbow for.
@@HectorJimenez-ee9zi yes but enhanced crossbow ignores 50% of armor which is ridiculous. You can still become a vampire in the dawnguard side you just don't get the rings from the side quest.
Pure-blooded scions of Bal in the lore: Will butcher all mortals they meet, some will have sex with the carcass. Lord Harkon in Skyrim: Treats the emo poems of a Falmer as gospel, offers vampirism to a Lycanthrope.
@@Samb467 I made that carcass part up, but it's not something that seems far fetched considering some pure-blooded vampires (like the Daughters of Coldharbour) are manifested through rape with near-fatal torture.
@@OLDSACKS okay lol some vampires probably would do that just like some humans are into that now that I think about it I wonder if vampires that were created by molag bal or just have the blood / disease as mortals call it I wonder if they have imprints of his personality like the dragon blood where they feel like they have to dominate over mortals so vampires would feel the need to dominate people rape I don't think so though cuz unlike dragons some vampires just want to cure themselves or they just adjust to the new vampire lifestyle to where they need blood and they can't go out I don't think they instinctively have the dominate and rape instinct like molag bal which his realm is known for
Recently did the vampire quest line for the first time. Boy howdy, it was kinda depressing. The dawn guard as a faction almost completely ceased to have any influence on the story. You never saw Isran again, even as adversary (who could have made a perfect villain with his uncompromising approaches). There was just less going on.
After completing Kindred Judgement, you can get a quest called Destroy the Dawnguard but it just involves killing all it's members. Interestingly though, you can pacify some of the vendors there and buy some of the spells that are exclusive to the Dawnguard faction if running through a wall isn't your preference
It’s conflicts like this that make me glad that Skyrim lets you make multiple characters. My main character stayed with the dawnguard and became a werewolf but I can also make a separate character to do the vampire quest
@@solidskullz5736 yeah that’s exactly what I’ve done. My main is a Nord warrior but my newer character is a sneak archer wood elf who can turn into a werewolf for the emergency close combat situations. While my Nord is all two handers who can turn into a vamp lord for the range lol I love it.
The questline sucks... Its best to avoid it now... Especially after the anniversary upgrade which introduced many types of crossbows avaiable from the start
@@RianKashfi i know, I'm sad at the fact I even got likes. People need to do their own research instead of believing in the word of some rando on the internet
I, one of the Aldmeri Dominion's finest covert Warriors will also join the Dawnguard cause, these vampires are retched abominations and like all abominations must be purged in Holy fire This time you have the fullest support of the Dominion, we will see that these vampires are destroyed
Restoration was very underwhelming as a school of magic before dawngaurd, Dawngaurd took the restoration class and turned it from a cleric to paladin. Dawngaurd also did alot of great things for melee and ranged builds that are locked behind the dawngaurd route. Honestly I never saw a benefit for a non-vampire to go down the vampire route. I mean I would argue the Dawngaurd route has the best story and characters where even Isran who you see as someone who solely hates vampires undergo development to tolerate the existence of Serana. It's a really cool line where you help the dawngaurd grow, you help them destroy the vampire lord Harkin and restore a bit of hope to skyrim. I honestly argue Israns war against vampires saved skyrim more than the Civil War. It's a side story but to me it always felt a bit more important than the main questline.
Isran should have straight up killed Serana as soon as he saw her, especially so after finding out that she's a daughter of coldharbour. Letting her live goes against purpose of the dawnguard, hell they let her stay in their head quarters. As soon as she has a falling out with the group they'll have another massive threat on their hands.
@@ElCabra91the thing is alduin is not scary enough to make it seem his quest is dangerous and the final battle with him is pretty underwhelming, and Harkon is stupid, so only miraak gives this true feeling of danger throughout his quest... until you fight him, he's laughably easy even on legendary
As someone who joined Volkihar: … i agree, Dawnguard is 100% better Rule#69: always choose the choice that is displayed as the quest/dlc’s name Dawnguard, The Black Star, etc.
Grand Soul gems are easily made and purchased. If you get the Black Star you give up a follower. I like knowing I have a network of agents out there ready to assist if called upon.
Is she even really that good? I’d rather kill her, keep the Black Star - and spare Erandur during his quest to use him. His voice is even sexier, and I’m straight
Werewolf chad: only weakness is badass looking swords, looks like a manly beast Vampire loser: weak to fire, sunlight, restoration magic, looks like a disgusting inbred ablino
I would rather sell my soul to a Daedra prince to get an overpowered fursuit than to sell it to another Daedra prince to be slightly more stealthy and have to sleep most of the day because the sun hurts my feelings.
Even though I hate vampires I gotta say, being a werewolf seems to be the worse option. Gotta remember that vampires live forever and not all of them have to hide from the sun
@@MONTR65 just be Human, only be werewolf to kill the hagravens in that one dungeon and cure yourself and that one old guy. Killing Hagravens in that dungeon gives you cool Doom Slayer reputation and the Guards say something special
My Main character: Beefed up Heavy armor dual axe wielding Nord that also owns werewolf powers: (Also he is high leveled blacksmith) Sees vampires: Nah man. Sees dawnguard and Upgradable crossbows: DRAGONBORN POG.
Funny how the Dawnguard lore went from protecting a single vampire nobleman during the day to destroying one of the most powerful vampire covens of the last millennia. And it only took us a week. 😎
I think they killed said vampire noble after they realised he was a vampire, which got them declared traitors to Skyrim by the Jarl of the rift (riften) at the time who was the father of said vampire noble
All this vampire junk reminded me of that “family” cult from fallout 3 that thinks they are vampires, I went there and did the quest to get Ian back and I was thinking “I’m gunna have to murder all these crazies aren’t I” and I’m talking to them and doing the speech checks and the whole time I’m ready for a total bloodbath and I have grenades equipped and everything but somehow I managed to get Ian to go home without murdering people, and I got the vampires to protect the nearby town in exchange for blood bags Kinda disappointed that I did so well and didn’t get to slaughter them all, their leader had a really nice sword… but he did give me the blueprint for it after the quest
What would you have? Weakness to the sun and the most used element in the game for some sneak and illusion? Or Cool weapons and cool restoration spells no cost to you what so ever?
Played dawnguard for the first time in a while and laughed so hard at the stupid looking vampire tryhard harkon that I did the restoration loop just to kill him with a fork.
I could imagine decades down the line a group of Dawnguard members telling the story of a legendary member who stormed a castle full of powerful vampires and killed a vampire lord so ancient he predates the Empire by stabbing him in the neck with a fork. Reminds me of the John Wick pencil story
Cuz its too much of a hassle. If the player choose to become evil, bethesda literally have to make a completely new storyline just for that. New voicelines, new storyline, new characters, etc. Maybe we can expect more stuff for ES6
@@wan-.9851 Well you are right, but I really don't ask for much, Skyrim Questlines are not that long, I mean, Quests are easy to make, I'm not asking for a super detailed quest for Skyrim, more like a Civil War reskin, you fighting against the Empire and the SC. I really hope they do something like that in TES6, they are taking their god damn time to make it so. Mostly though, Bethesda solo games are always good and for the TES and Fallout games you have a ton of mods
@@wan-.9851 well you just have to replace the npc and make some of them vampires or thralls, but yeah, it would break the game for all other quests maybe
one small issue: first vampire quest: go to a drug den, get high, get free telekinesis, get bloodstone chalice first dawnguard quest: go to the fucking reach and some bear cave, retrieve two people, then gain access to 9 consecutive fetch quests across the province involving clearing entire dwarven dungeons top to bottom before you can have permission to BUY or CRAFT the enhanced dwarven crossbow and exploding bolts.
benefits of jointing the vampires side: new place to store shit you can steal harkon’s sword if you good at pick pocketing somthin else probably, havnt played the vampire side of the dawngaurd questlinr
Vampires: We attacked you, killed all your loved ones and we will not apologize for this, but you must join us. Dawnguard: Yo dude wanna hunt vampires with us?

Harkon:"Give me the bow, mortal." Me:"Ok." Harkon:"Haha, finally after all this time, I have Auriel's bow. Now, perish." Me:"No, You."(Smacks Harkon with a Dawnguard Rune Axe(Legendary) with such a high body count that it would make James A. Jeneisse reject it) Harkon:"Agh,... Serana, your own father?"(Disintegrates) Serana:"What the (bleep) just happened?!"
I always liked the Dawnguard. So much so that in one of my playthroughs I bum-rushed my way through Harkon’s castle and killed most of the enemies so none of the Dawnguard died.
My first play through I did vampire way and vampire lord was kinda cool but got old fast. Next time I did dawnguard and vampire hunting in that dope armor was soooo much better
Yeah I became a vampire to see how it was, oh boy was it boring after a day. It’s annoying as hell to go weak because of the sun too. Vampire gf ain’t worth that much, and you can’t even marry her so what’s the point
vampire lord: Levite walk and levitate on water has telekinesis that grabs people and animals (Darth Vader reference) summon gargoyles (two with the appropriate amulet) it becomes intangible by transforming into mist and unlike Ethereal Form you can activate it while falling fast and active healing factor while you are versatile transformation with which you can go from metamorphosis to human form and vice versa whenever you want and without waiting 5 minutes or a day has a whirlwind of bats around it that causes it to absorb the energy of opponents (and also the bats can be combined with the spells mantle of flame, frost, lightning and swirling) dawnguard: heal yourself and lose all the cool skills otherwise we won't go on with the missions and we won't take you with us.
yeah, vampire is really cool if I wasn't so into my mods(and my mod race getting ruined eyes when becoming a vampire) I'd def be staying vampire lord 24/7
Vampire be like. You are weak to sun, has a form that can't pass through doors. Dawnguard be like: strongest ranged weapon in game. Dwamer crossbow (the armor piercing version) Dog follower. No downsides.
Literally the most whiny b*** you can have as a follower. Doesn't want to marry you even after getting rid of vampirism because "temple scary"... I really don't see the reason she has this many thirsting over her Alea is best female follower, Morwen is best waifu
Badass Swords , Brigandines against useless little leather uniforms , a semi Great Helm , crossbows , badass spells , a more badass and beautifull castle (Virgin Frigid Lil' Island keep absolutely dilapildated vs Chad Preserved Fortress surrounded by gorgeous fauna and flora and a circle of mountains that protect it even more and make it even more beautiful) and the true desire to fight back against these parasitic and inhuman monsters who believe themselves superior despite being literal parasites who need to murder "inferiors" to substain themselves and only take and steal while providing nothing to the world . Fuck (Most) Vampire .

I didn’t mean to cause the apocalypse in Skyrim, I just saw a dragon, I equiped the first arrows that I found and because that lizard was flying right in fromt of the sun, I shot there then it happened. Whoops.
There is every reason to stay with the dawnguard. You get badass crossbows, and armoured troll followers, and if you want to become a vampire lord you can still ask Seranna to give you a Iil bite. Dawngaurd for life.
Not just crossbows, but one of the most powerful ranged weapons in the game
And two doggo followers
The only thing about the vampire route is you get some really good rings on a side quest that benefit magic and vampire characters. Also like infinite human cattle but even so all of that isn't worth giving up the crossbow for.
@@Azure_fae as primarily a mage player the vampiric bonuses are just too damn good pass up.
@@HectorJimenez-ee9zi yes but enhanced crossbow ignores 50% of armor which is ridiculous. You can still become a vampire in the dawnguard side you just don't get the rings from the side quest.
Pure-blooded scions of Bal in the lore: Will butcher all mortals they meet, some will have sex with the carcass.

Vampire’s weakness: a nice day
Do they really do that with the carcass in lore dafuk
@@Samb467 I made that carcass part up, but it's not something that seems far fetched considering some pure-blooded vampires (like the Daughters of Coldharbour) are manifested through rape with near-fatal torture.
@@OLDSACKS okay lol some vampires probably would do that just like some humans are into that now that I think about it I wonder if vampires that were created by molag bal or just have the blood / disease as mortals call it I wonder if they have imprints of his personality like the dragon blood where they feel like they have to dominate over mortals so vampires would feel the need to dominate people rape I don't think so though cuz unlike dragons some vampires just want to cure themselves or they just adjust to the new vampire lifestyle to where they need blood and they can't go out I don't think they instinctively have the dominate and rape instinct like molag bal which his realm is known for
Imagine making a pro dawnguard meme and not even fucking mentioning it is the only faction in skyrim with crossbows
I commited the mistake of joining the vampires and procceded to suffer a lack of bolts because of that
Recently did the vampire quest line for the first time.
Boy howdy, it was kinda depressing. The dawn guard as a faction almost completely ceased to have any influence on the story. You never saw Isran again, even as adversary (who could have made a perfect villain with his uncompromising approaches). There was just less going on.
After completing Kindred Judgement, you can get a quest called Destroy the Dawnguard but it just involves killing all it's members. Interestingly though, you can pacify some of the vendors there and buy some of the spells that are exclusive to the Dawnguard faction if running through a wall isn't your preference
It’s conflicts like this that make me glad that Skyrim lets you make multiple characters. My main character stayed with the dawnguard and became a werewolf but I can also make a separate character to do the vampire quest
@@solidskullz5736 yeah that’s exactly what I’ve done. My main is a Nord warrior but my newer character is a sneak archer wood elf who can turn into a werewolf for the emergency close combat situations. While my Nord is all two handers who can turn into a vamp lord for the range lol I love it.
The questline sucks... Its best to avoid it now... Especially after the anniversary upgrade which introduced many types of crossbows avaiable from the start
Immortality is worth it, though.

Restoration was very underwhelming as a school of magic before dawngaurd, Dawngaurd took the restoration class and turned it from a cleric to paladin. Dawngaurd also did alot of great things for melee and ranged builds that are locked behind the dawngaurd route. Honestly I never saw a benefit for a non-vampire to go down the vampire route. I mean I would argue the Dawngaurd route has the best story and characters where even Isran who you see as someone who solely hates vampires undergo development to tolerate the existence of Serana. It's a really cool line where you help the dawngaurd grow, you help them destroy the vampire lord Harkin and restore a bit of hope to skyrim. I honestly argue Israns war against vampires saved skyrim more than the Civil War. It's a side story but to me it always felt a bit more important than the main questline.
"more important than the main questline"
Sure the civil war is pretty lame but did you forget about Alduin - The motha fuckin world eater?
@@superibay2965
Don't forget the return of Miraak, the fallen Dragonborn.
I think it's the least dangerous of all the three main quests, Alduin been first, then Miraak and finally Harkon
Isran should have straight up killed Serana as soon as he saw her, especially so after finding out that she's a daughter of coldharbour. Letting her live goes against purpose of the dawnguard, hell they let her stay in their head quarters. As soon as she has a falling out with the group they'll have another massive threat on their hands.
@@ElCabra91the thing is alduin is not scary enough to make it seem his quest is dangerous and the final battle with him is pretty underwhelming, and Harkon is stupid, so only miraak gives this true feeling of danger throughout his quest... until you fight him, he's laughably easy even on legendary
As someone who joined Volkihar: … i agree, Dawnguard is 100% better

Funny how the Dawnguard lore went from protecting a single vampire nobleman during the day to destroying one of the most powerful vampire covens of the last millennia. And it only took us a week. 😎
I think they killed said vampire noble after they realised he was a vampire, which got them declared traitors to Skyrim by the Jarl of the rift (riften) at the time who was the father of said vampire noble
All this vampire junk reminded me of that “family” cult from fallout 3 that thinks they are vampires, I went there and did the quest to get Ian back and I was thinking “I’m gunna have to murder all these crazies aren’t I” and I’m talking to them and doing the speech checks and the whole time I’m ready for a total bloodbath and I have grenades equipped and everything but somehow I managed to get Ian to go home without murdering people, and I got the vampires to protect the nearby town in exchange for blood bags
Kinda disappointed that I did so well and didn’t get to slaughter them all, their leader had a really nice sword… but he did give me the blueprint for it after the quest
What would you have?
Weakness to the sun and the most used element in the game for some sneak and illusion?
Or
Cool weapons and cool restoration spells no cost to you what so ever?
Yeah exactly, sure those vampire form is cool and all but all of those weapon and shiny armor is just too alluring for me.
Plus huskys and trolls. Vampires are so weak
@@AudioJeep OH SHIT THE HUSKIES! I FORGOT ABOUT THE GOOD BOIS.
Played dawnguard for the first time in a while and laughed so hard at the stupid looking vampire tryhard harkon that I did the restoration loop just to kill him with a fork.
I could imagine decades down the line a group of Dawnguard members telling the story of a legendary member who stormed a castle full of powerful vampires and killed a vampire lord so ancient he predates the Empire by stabbing him in the neck with a fork. Reminds me of the John Wick pencil story
Always singing, always ringing
I wish this quest had a proper second evil ending where you take Harkon's place and try to take over Skyrim, the same with the Dragonborn DLC
Yeah, really there are no reason why I shouldn't be able to rule over Skyrim or all Tamriel. Even the Aldmeri wouldn't be able to stop me.
Cuz its too much of a hassle. If the player choose to become evil, bethesda literally have to make a completely new storyline just for that. New voicelines, new storyline, new characters, etc. Maybe we can expect more stuff for ES6
@@wan-.9851 Well you are right, but I really don't ask for much, Skyrim Questlines are not that long, I mean, Quests are easy to make, I'm not asking for a super detailed quest for Skyrim, more like a Civil War reskin, you fighting against the Empire and the SC. I really hope they do something like that in TES6, they are taking their god damn time to make it so. Mostly though, Bethesda solo games are always good and for the TES and Fallout games you have a ton of mods
@@guillermokleisinger5548 yeah standalone quest are easy to make but a quest that affect the whole skyrim definitely is not easy to make.
@@wan-.9851 well you just have to replace the npc and make some of them vampires or thralls, but yeah, it would break the game for all other quests maybe
vampires - weak to sunlight, constantly need to feed
werewolves - can run faster, have massive strength, and has no downsides
You forgot “extremely vulnerable to fire”
Dawnguard all the way to storm the Castle.
I reverse pickpocket the Dawnguard members with Legendary and double enchanced ebony weapons for sure win.
one small issue:
first vampire quest: go to a drug den, get high, get free telekinesis, get bloodstone chalice
first dawnguard quest: go to the fucking reach and some bear cave, retrieve two people, then gain access to 9 consecutive fetch quests across the province involving clearing entire dwarven dungeons top to bottom before you can have permission to BUY or CRAFT the enhanced dwarven crossbow and exploding bolts.
benefits of jointing the vampires side:
new place to store shit
you can steal harkon’s sword if you good at pick pocketing
somthin else probably, havnt played the vampire side of the dawngaurd questlinr
Vampires: We attacked you, killed all your loved ones and we will not apologize for this, but you must join us. Dawnguard: Yo dude wanna hunt vampires with us?
Never regretted my choice in refusing to become a vampire

My last fight against the Daddy Issues Factory that is Lord Harkon was perfectly synced up to "Fire and Forgive" by Powerwolf.
Sometimes i think, the dragonborn needs to retire he"s that exhausted, the man has helped practically everyone in skyrim and gets treated like a homeless man, no wonder he goes on hourly stealing sprees
true, which is why I am gonna go through the high king arc either before or after beating the final boss, Nazeem (True form) in the battle at the cloud district
Harkon:"Give me the bow, mortal."
Me:"Ok."
Harkon:"Haha, finally after all this time, I have Auriel's bow. Now, perish."

This is perfect.
Yoooo the Dead Meat reference! this comment is gold.
F.Y.I.
I call my Dawnguard Rune Axe, "Sunny D,"
because it unleashes the power of the Sun.
Harkon's logic
Im about to betray someone who's able to do things in a few days/weeks that I cant do in a thousand years.
I always liked the Dawnguard. So much so that in one of my playthroughs I bum-rushed my way through Harkon’s castle and killed most of the enemies so none of the Dawnguard died.
Chad strategy right there my dude
Crusading Castle Volkihar was the most dope thing in Skyrim.
My first play through I did vampire way and vampire lord was kinda cool but got old fast. Next time I did dawnguard and vampire hunting in that dope armor was soooo much better
Glad you found your way back to the path of righteousness.
Yeah I became a vampire to see how it was, oh boy was it boring after a day. It’s annoying as hell to go weak because of the sun too. Vampire gf ain’t worth that much, and you can’t even marry her so what’s the point

vampire lord:
Levite
walk and levitate on water
has telekinesis that grabs people and animals (Darth Vader reference)
summon gargoyles (two with the appropriate amulet)
it becomes intangible by transforming into mist and unlike Ethereal Form you can activate it while falling
fast and active healing factor while you are versatile transformation with which
you can go from metamorphosis to human form and vice versa whenever you want and without waiting 5 minutes or a day
has a whirlwind of bats around it that causes it to absorb the energy of opponents (and also the bats can be combined with the spells mantle of flame, frost, lightning and swirling)

heal yourself and lose all the cool skills otherwise we won't go on with the missions and we won't take you with us.
