Odai Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) http://cdnstatic.bethsoft.com/bethblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Dawnguard.jpg For those of you who dont know, this is all we know. More info to be released at E3 June 5-7 Now that I have gotten past the whole wait a month stuff and the people complaining about PC and PS3 release. I have analyzed the Name and the image. CLEARLY the avatar state has been instated.But on a more serious note.So what has dawn in its name in the TES franchise… Dawn era, Mythic Dawn, Dawn Zombie, Tower of Dawn (ghostgate), rising at dawn (mission involving vampires in Skyrim), Elda Early-Dawn (owner of candlehearth hall), suns dawn (a book that may have some info http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:2920,_Sun%27s_Dawn), Dawnbreaker and its quest the break of Dawn.Now what has the name guard in it? Beyond the plethora of guards in the game… the book the rear guard (http://uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:The_Rear_Guard), Guardian stones, wrathguard from morrowind, boneguard belt from morrowind etc. Guards and guardians and spells and items are easy to comeby.I suggest looking into the words themselves. Dawn… the sun, the light, the new beginning… less metaphorical would be the East where the dawn breaks. Guard… this could suggest that you are protecting the dawn (whatever that suggests) or perhaps the guard signifies a title of a follower (akavirii dragonguard for example) and they are there to protect you (the dawn, the hope for the future).Most likely, the title represents a location or a group as many of the titular expansions do. NotN you became a Night of the Nine… SI you went to the Shivering Isles… Bloodmoon, there was a bloodmoon which had been heavily written upon prior… Mornhold, you went to mornhold. Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind were significant (to say the least) locations respective to each game. What do you guys think? Also note the images for PC that came with the last update. File DLC01 with new vampire feeding animations, snowelves including a princess and crossbows. Edited May 1, 2012 by Odai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DagothDagonAlduin Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Also, Tamriel means "Dawn's Beauty". Anyway, is Hammerfell to the east of Skyrim? If it is then I think it'll have to do with Hammerfell. The Ali'ker(sp?) have their house keys on them. Why would they have house keys if they live in Hammerfell, a place not included in the game? BTW, I think the new feeding animations and the eyes are a big clue too. The eyes are vampire eyes and combined with the feeding animation in the DLC folder, I think we'll be getting some new vampire features.

Odai Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Morrowind is east. And Akaviri Teresci (or however you spell it) are vampires and the original dragonguard for reman cyrodil. We already know that there is a gate to Morrowind so it is possible that it takes place there. And after the explosion of red mountain the surviving vampire clans probably didnt survive. Vampires were a major quest part for Morrowind and lead to some of the better powers, skills and artifacts in the game. In Skyrim these powers and skill boost have been hampered a lot. At any rate, I think that the vampire stuff is simply to encourage people to play as vampires since at this point being a werewolf is clearly the superior option. We do know snowelves are involved or at least are given for Mod makers, so dwemer ruins are a big part. That narrows to the northern provinces Skyrim Hammerfell and Morrowind. We know that the last of the surface snow elves were defeated in Solstiem. But this could even be a time warp since this chapter in the series is heavily dependent on time (elder scroll, major events involving the great towers, disappearance of the dwarves, the falmer growing blind and deranged, immortal dragons, Talos and controversial events from history defining the actions in the present) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DagothDagonAlduin Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Well Solstheim is east of Skyrim and as you said, the snow prince died there. The DLC could well be based in Solstheim. EDIT: I hope it isn't though, I'm tired of the cold climates of Skyrim, I want warmth and lush forests.
