SickFak Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Dawnguard man... So started a new game with dawnguard as a Bosmer focusing on being a rogue with bow and dagger (Duh...). Didn't know how the whole thing starts, just assumed it might start when you hit certain level or area, so just went on with the game. After killing Milmulnir for Whiterun, gone back to Riverwood (passing through) and a guard there said something about "Damn vampire attacks" or something. Tried to speak to him, but dialogue did not engage, instead he told me about an arrow in the knee. Didn't give it much thought, instead went to the tavern. It was night time and almost the whole damn village was inside, which I found a bit weird but nice, it seemed cozy. Talked to some folks, used alchemy lab, and decided to hit the road. As I went outside I heard something about "I love when food comes to my arms" or something, and saw master vampire with 3 hellhounds or something making short work of one guard and subsequently of Camilla and Lucan Valerius... and me for dessert. The whole situation was very atmospheric, the night seemed mysterious, silent village with folks in tavern, guard whispering about vampires, and then sudden attack by a vamp... and aurora borealis the whole time. Wow... Shame I was level 7 with unenchanted hunting bow and steel dagger as my only weapons, and my freshly brewed poisons didn't seem to do a diddly squat to the vamp. After my poor bosmeri girl was raped repeatedly by master vampire and his hounds I somehow managed to kill it off by the 20th or so attempt on expense of dead Valerius family. But nothing happened, nothing triggered, guards didn't say anything, nada... So WTF was that?! I'm all for powerful bosses early on without scaling and stuff, but kinda wasn't expecting a pwning master vamp with super dogs raping me and inhabitants in Riverwood on lvl 7 o_O... Anyway I had to load an earlier hard save coz I didn't want Valerius family dead for no reason. Didn't happen again yet. So how does it start? Why didn't anything happen after I killed it, or at least why there wasn't some just as strong "good guy" helping, seeing as the "bad guy" was way out of my league. It just would seem logical there to be some "Blade" or "Buffy" helping out all things considered. So can you folks tell me (without spoilers if possible) just how is it supposed to go, and/or did I miss something+ Just don't want to go on playing and then after hours of play find out I did something wrong and broke it. Bethesda games are a bit fragile that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You use the word "rape" a lot. Try to not use it that much, as it makes the whole thing .. eh.. weird. That said, go to Falkreach, or however it is spelled, and a orc will talk to you as you enter. He will mention joining the Dawnguard. I believe there is a level requirement, but I am not sure what it is. I want to say 10, but I simply don't know. Matth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycloney911 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't think you are meant to be attacked by Master Vampires at level 7... anyways, if you hit level 10, you can talk about the vampires around Whiterun. no major/minor spoilers included :). Dawnguard is a major improvement other than the ctds/bugs, but they happen rarely. ENJOY IT ALL YOU CAN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cycloney911 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 That kinda ruins the fun, but can't be worse than the bounty hunters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickFak Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I figured after that incident that I'm going to reload more often now... Ah, whatcha gonna do.. Anyway, so lvl 10, that makes sense, I guess I'll be eventually lead to that Orc in Falkreath. Gonna figure it out as I go. Just wanted to make sure I won't do anything wrong or something :) Thought it was weird that attacks already started even though the questline didn't... So it's normal then? And yeah I will enjoy it, was waiting for decent vampires for ages now. Was expecting them to be better than Oblivions in Skyrim on release, but alas... but finally in expansion :D Oh and I love the bounty hunters! Especially love killing the one who hired them afterwards! Oh and almost forgot... Um... Rape. Edited August 11, 2012 by SickFak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycloney911 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Oh and I love the bounty hunters! Especially love killing the one who hired them afterwards! You mean the hired thugs? I was talking about a single bounty hunter coming out of nowhere. He one shots you, unless you are have fully decked out gear. Easy way to get out is having 1k gold+. Anyway, happy gaming! Make sure you chose the right dialogs as they will have consequences during the Dawnguard quest-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshico Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 There also a mod to disable the attacks, although since I'm kinda OCD on keeping as much as npc alive I might do what my fine friend did: SET THEM ALL ESSENTIAL ...hmmm... would finally allow me have dragon attacks on the cities.. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 sinnerman69, thank you for compiling and sharing your batch lists of guard/merchant ref id's to set essential much appreciated!i've been beta testing this mod for awhile that attempts to make npc's flee and/or seek shelterduring a dragon attack;Everyone Get Inside - Dragon Attack - Beta by MGoods - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12785but, if true, now it seems Dawnguard scripted master vampires (& hellhounds) to not only just feed but randomly KILL npc's,argh.
