So excited to grab a bottle of mead, kick back, relax, and enjoy this video! I love Dawnguard, but I think there was a lot of potential missed. Great stuff as always, Nate!
Indeed, it is baffling how many opportunities were missed. Thinking back, I like Dawnguard, but man how underworked was it considered the capabilities of bethesda's development team.

Mark Abrams god bless you, like I get it he doesn’t want ppl to just look in the description and not watch the video but then someone’s just gonna do what you did and that’s why I’m here lmao
This is how vampire attacks usually go for me: I fast travel to a city, then, just before loading screen ends, 7 characters yell "NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE" as some vampires spawn together with me. Then I try to help kill the vampires but accidentally hit one person, so a guard tries to arrest me while a vampire is using the succ spell on me, giving me aids.
Yeah same and it got so annoying, especially a Master Vaampire or higher one will wreck everyone around. I also use combat overhaul mods and those vampires are so OP.
@@MrSherhi Is there a mod that change the way enemies spawn? It's so annoying that the world is alive only when you are around it. I use Immersive Citizens and I love it because NPCs do their own thing and I don't have to be around to trigger that, wish there was that for enemies to spawn in a wider area from PC or some pause after fast-travel. It's also stupid that you have 4 or 5 guards at the front gates but vampire still spawns behind it ;_______;

Maybe it'd play out like "Yeah, we know she's a vampire, and yes, she knows that we know. More so, we are aware that the Jarl is also aware of these facts. But we kill the bloodsucker and the city becomes weak, turns out the vampire is calling the shots around here. Thing is, she runs a tight ship".

I personally think sebille stentor is a sunlight vampire. I forgot the original name, but these vampires can roam around the game without difficulty during the day or the night, as far as I'm aware they are susceptible to fire and silver weaponry as well as water. And man it is awfully funny when you are outside and it starts to rain and the rain hurt you. But this vampire is essentially stronger than most vampires and and you will often find them in places of high stature within the world. This is why I believe that sebille stentor is one of these types of vampires.
@@youngbull8537 I've checked it. It was surprisingly too out of place though. Among the 5 featured mods, only 1 of them can be categorized as a hearthfire mod.
I've been playing Skyrim for years, but have recently started heavily modding it. Love your videos they have really help me make Skyrim how it should have been keep up the awesome works.
Personally I enjoyed the Dlc because it dug more into the history of the Falmer. I found them to be very interesting because they used to be Snow Elves. They're found to be able to make their own settlements, develop their own weapons and armor, and became masters of poison.
For any wondering, the creator of Sacrosanct has a new Vampire mod that is a little less bloated/complex called Sacrilege and they are still updating it. They also have a Werewolf mod called Growl that makes being a werewolf more complex as well.
Nate can you please keep making these mod related skyrim videos? I love your unique style of showcasing HELPFUL and USEFUL mods with your traditional and humorous video style. It works great and I am really enjoying!!!
8:50 "Honestly, it's amazing to me something like this wasn't included in the base game itself!" I find myself saying this constantly while playing the game; there are so many NPC's and lines of dialogue that clearly were intended to be part of a quest, but never made it into the game due to the production being rushed in order to meet the 11/11/11 release date.
Right you are, but I would also believe that their main reason had more to do with money and time restraints, like most Studios. It's too bad, because I just learned about Star Citizen and how screwed up the developer is for that game kept getting more and more donations from the community and claimed to have a deadline but kept that deadline moving forward, and then eventually she decided to pretty much give up on finishing the game. Then he decided to use the vast majority of the funds that he was given in order to create the game enter purchasing several mansions for himself and Yachts and all kinds of goodies. 320 million dollars wasted by all the people who donated throughout the past decade for a game that will never be released all because of a greedy developer decided to give up ah never finishing the game. I didn't find out about this news when it broke out, I just found out a few days ago. And at this point I honestly don't blame people for pulling out their support and demanding their money back. That developer should be sued into the stone age's. And it's a real shame too, because the game had real promise and it looked amazing. I guess the developer just figured they could get away with it forever.
I've been watching you for years, I just got back into skyrim. I found your channel again and i've been addicted to watching you again, Such is the life of a elder scrolls player.
I don't know about being able to marry Serana. I think she says at some point how she's uneasy with Chapels. Even if you cured her Vampirism by siding with the Dawnguard, she probably wouldn't want to step inside one. I'd have her simply acknowledge your feelings and reciprocate them provided you picked the right dialog options during the main quest. Then if you sleep while you have her as a Follower, you'll get the Lover's Comfort resting bonus. But none of the other benefits from marriage. I just can't see Serana staying at home cooking and running a store for you.
@@jonathanprince707 As far as I can tell, one don't need to be in a Chapel (or any religious building for that matter) to get married. IRL anyway. Can only assume that the same can be said to Skyrim & The Elder Scrolls franchise in general.
@@abd-qadirgilani8871 pretty sure in terms of lore, you marry in mara temple to get some kind of blessing for your marriage and if you dont mara is like yeah fuck those two
@@andrejzizenstock9067 Mara doesn't sound like the type to snub a pair of lovers just because they didn't get hitched in her Temple. All I'm saying is Serana just wouldn't be comfortable walking into a Chapel. If I could write a mod to marry Serana, it would just be some extra dialog at the end if you approach her while wearing the Amulet of Mara. You can ask her to marry, she would say yes, but she doesn't like churches and Molag Bal doesn't really go for the whole matrimony thing. But she does admit she feels the same for you, and the both of you just decide to skip the ceremony. For all intents and purposes, you're married. And you don't need the Mara or a Daedra Lord to tell you otherwise. Hell you could even say Mara is so moved by your love, she gives you the Lover's Comfort resting bonus anyway.
NATE I just noticed a strange detail only available in one mission. After the battle for whiterun if ur siding with the companions, you can get some unique dialogue from Raloff, he asks if colors seem brighter and stuff before he starts repeating that he feels so alive. Check it out!
@@Bemix666NUCLAR wait I think I know what you mean. Siding with the companions... I meant already involved in that faction. My bad. Sorry for bein a jackass.
@@metetural9140 LOL 😁 I know that one. (Insomnia). Edit Vickers. Yes dawngaurd should have an aedra connection (or Talos inspired, different set of divines Mer Vs Human). 8 same 1 different.
Dawnguard is my favourite DLC of any video game ever. BUT, I swear to god everytime the vampires attack whiterun it's when I'm over-encumbered after a long trip of adventuring. I get a front row seat as they murder Adriana to death while I slowly walk over to help. Hate that about the DLC, wish they would just attack the front gate instead.
Here is a theory: Nate our man is acctually an ai from bethesda that escaped from fallout. How do i know that? Well... Todd always told us that the ai was gonna super good and maybe nate is that ai but from what npc? Well as his name indicates his name is Nate and your husband in Fallout 4 is also named Nate maybe our boi here escaped from Fallout 4 because he is to advanced for the game after escaping without knowking what to do he started doing videos about the only thing he knew about Bethesda But hey thats just a theory a Game theory
Hey Nate it's guys here, I just wanted to thank you for how much you've helped me improve my game with these mod videos. I only started modding Skyrim about a year ago so having a ton of options presented to me in a quick yet detailed manner really helped me build my load order. Thanks a ton for the help and keep up the great work!
0:48 "Factions felt like they could have been better fleshed out" "the world could have been more impacted" I think you're forgetting the most important one Serana could have been marriageable
I recently got into mods because of your videos and it’s like a whole new game! I especially love cutting room floor- it’s so awesome to be able to put together the pieces of the puzzles the game creators never finished. Can’t wait to try these out!
I cant remember but i used to love this older mod that after you completed the vampire side of the story it rebuilt the castle and added another part to the story, something about proving that your worthy to lead the vampires or something, I sadly forgot what the name of the mod was called but I will always remember.
Suggestion for 10 tiny details about Skyrim: On the island of Raven Rock is a Nord NPC named Glover Mallory, who is the brother of Delvin Mallory in The Thieves Guild. If the player is a member of the Thieves Guild, Glover will give you a quest to recover a recipe for improved bonemold armor. Once you complete the quest, Glover will reward you with a key for a room in his house filled with rewards such as gems, gold and lockpicks. One of the rewards is a unique set and of armor called Blackguard (pronounced blaggard) armor. What’s your interesting about this is that the Blackguards are a mercenary group in Black Marsh, which act the main enemy faction in The Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire DLC. Considering that Glover was once a member of a seedy group like the Thieves Guild, and he that he also mentions that he ran far away to other places in Tamriel before settling in Solstheim, it’s entirely possible that he was once a member of the Blackguards, himself.
I prefer the better vampires mod since you can turn off people attacking you if you go too long without feeding and you can turn anyone you bite into a vampire that will instantly be loyal to you(except for the guards). Also it adds vampire hunting groups that attack at random intervals and are much stronger than just regular Dawnguard troops along with an option to take damage while in the sun and to be able to regenerate health and magic when standing in the shade. You can also make it so that you turn into a pile of ash when you die instead of just rag-dolling like normal.
Hey Nate its Gaige, I just wanted to let you know that your videos bring me stress relief from my day and it just helps me a lot. I don't know what it is, but sitting down and watch a video just.. just takes time from my day and makes me realize that I'm human yet and I have problems as we all do, but Nate yes thank you for your videos!!!! Keep it up man, we all love you!!!!!! To the Throat of the World and back!!!
I hope you do a similar mod revolving around the Dragonborn DLC! I love the Skaal and I'm sure there's mods that I'm unaware of that'd make the DLC and main quest alot better than it actually is!
@@richardespinoza9989 I second what this person said. I used to use sacrosanct before, but better vampires is way more customizable, and I haven't noticed it lacking anything sacrosanct has.
Hey how's it going Nate ? It's a viewer here ! I can't remember when I discovered your videos, but thanks to you I'm exploring Skyrim to find the easter eggs, the references, the items and all the stuff you talk about, as I write this comment, I'm installing some mods to further enchance my Dawnguard experience. Thanks you a million times for your videos.
A lovely video filled with overhauls. Next one should other overhauls, like Collage of Winterhold and magic system or Companions and fighting system, you get the idea. Have fun making them as much as I have watching them.
One mod I got on Xbox One is Seranaholic (V1.7) Serana Replacer, she is really beautiful. Her eyes are red like other vampires (they turn blue if you cure her). Works great with the Seraphim body replacer
Fun Fact: In the Creation Kit, anything and everything related to Dawnguard has the prefix DLC1 (or DLC01) on its editor id and Dragonborn has DLC2 (or DLC02). But Hearthfire was the second DLC, not Dragonborn. Well, Hearthfire has the prefix BYOH (presumably Build Your Own Home), indicating it was never regarded as a proper DLC by Bethesda, but it was still sold as one.
It really is great. I ended up wearing the DG armour most of the time in my game because I felt a stronger connection to that faction than any other. Also it looked sweet.
You are the best UA-camr ever! I've been here since Minecraft, It's been a long journey,from the land of Minecraft all the way to Tamrial. And I'm always ready to kick back relax, and grab some mead, I love the Dawngaurd, but there was soooo much that Bethesda missed
Eddy the monstrum I did a vampire playthrough with the mod and its pretty cool and fun in the beginning but halfway through you get so OP it just doesnt feel fun at all.
Last time I did Dawnguard I used the DG Arsenal alongside Black DG Armor, but easily my favourite addition was the most simple: one that gave the goofy light helmet the same appearance as the heavy one. Everyone looked uniform and they looked damn good.
Nice to hear someone give Sacrosanct the praise it deserves. I'm a paladin spellsword guy myself, but after just reading the sacrosanct mod page I clearly see that this mod is *HUGE* gamechanger. it now becomes boring to not be a vampire! combine that with (in my opinion) the best story-driven gameplay Skyrim has to offer (Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood) and you can see how Sacrosanct really makes it easy to choose a stealth/assassin or straight up nightblade build. And this is why I don't know what build to choose this time haha
I used run for your lives with basically every playthrough, but I still had weak npc's die on me because they didn't realize an attack was happening till they got hit with a ranged spell. Definitely going to add Bells to my modlist
12:07 - This is one of my biggest pet peeves. The word is etcetera. ETcetera, not EXcetera. Also, the Bells mod makes the Dawnguard Sentries run and hide when the bells sound.
My first playthrough was Imperial and I became a vampire through Dawnguard. I've tried being Stormcloak on another one and it felt like a betrayal. I couldn't imagine ever being a Dawnguard either.
@SAW Gunner nah, while I do agree that Skyrim is better off without the Empire and its debts, now isn't the time for that, all of Tamerial needs to come together to fight the Thalmor, a splintered Empire is what the Thalmor want, after they been dealt with, I honestly could care less about what happens in Cyrodil, Morrowind is better off without them
Well it makes sense when you first arrive at Fort Dawnguard. Isran's still trying to just get the Dawnguard project off the ground, and he has to do it basically alone. It's just him, the Orc guy, and some other dude. That's why the Player has to go out and recruit NPCs for him.
@@mariejuana2993 Ah but that's the beauty of the DLC. Think about it. If you didn't, then who did? After defeating Harkon, you eventually get the quest to Destroy the Dawnguard. When you attack the Fort, you find the NPCs you would have normally recruited had you sided with Isran. Even the crazy priest of Arkay who was trapped in a dungeon by some crazy witch is there. If you didn't save him, who did? I'm going to guess without you there Isran had to rely on that farmboy. And that is one of the things I love about Dawnguard. You as the player, aren't needed. Normally you have to do EVERYTHING for these stupid NPCs or nothing ever gets done. Isran was totally able to rebuild the Dawnguard without you. He didn't need you to hold his hand, wipe his nose, fetch him 20 rat spleens, or anything. I'd give him a pat on the head, a plate of chicken tendies, and 10 Good Boy points for just being able to do that all on his own...right before I slice his throat...and take his tendies...because fuck Isran.
@@jonathanprince707 😂😂 Yeah thats true aswell. I agree with you, I like the fact that us as the player arent entirely needed, besides the Dragonborn quests because there is ofc one Dragonborn at a time (?). Other than that, you are perfectly correct, who's to say there isn't another NPC running around helping other NPC's, or thieving for the Guild (as we have seen plenty times in Riften marketplace), or assasinating important people (as we see new recruits in the Dawnstar Sanctuary). I haven't gotten the quest to destroy the Dawnguard yet though :( I didnt follow through properly. I have a habit of collecting as many quests as I can before I start (or finish) any of them xd ;_;
So excited to grab a bottle of mead, kick back, relax, and enjoy this video! I love Dawnguard, but I think there was a lot of potential missed. Great stuff as always, Nate!

Personally I enjoyed the Dlc because it dug more into the history of the Falmer. I found them to be very interesting because they used to be Snow Elves. They're found to be able to make their own settlements, develop their own weapons and armor, and became masters of poison.
For any wondering, the creator of Sacrosanct has a new Vampire mod that is a little less bloated/complex called Sacrilege and they are still updating it. They also have a Werewolf mod called Growl that makes being a werewolf more complex as well.
Nate can you please keep making these mod related skyrim videos? I love your unique style of showcasing HELPFUL and USEFUL mods with your traditional and humorous video style. It works great and I am really enjoying!!!
8:50 "Honestly, it's amazing to me something like this wasn't included in the base game itself!"
I find myself saying this constantly while playing the game; there are so many NPC's and lines of dialogue that clearly were intended to be part of a quest, but never made it into the game due to the production being rushed in order to meet the 11/11/11 release date.
Right you are, but I would also believe that their main reason had more to do with money and time restraints, like most Studios.
It's too bad, because I just learned about Star Citizen and how screwed up the developer is for that game kept getting more and more donations from the community and claimed to have a deadline but kept that deadline moving forward, and then eventually she decided to pretty much give up on finishing the game.
Then he decided to use the vast majority of the funds that he was given in order to create the game enter purchasing several mansions for himself and Yachts and all kinds of goodies.
320 million dollars wasted by all the people who donated throughout the past decade for a game that will never be released all because of a greedy developer decided to give up ah never finishing the game.
I didn't find out about this news when it broke out, I just found out a few days ago.
And at this point I honestly don't blame people for pulling out their support and demanding their money back.
That developer should be sued into the stone age's.
And it's a real shame too, because the game had real promise and it looked amazing.
I guess the developer just figured they could get away with it forever.
I've been watching you for years, I just got back into skyrim. I found your channel again and i've been addicted to watching you again, Such is the life of a elder scrolls player.
Marriable Serana and Hybrid.
Done.
I would rather be one of the races than a hybrid. Marriable Serana is good.
I don't know about being able to marry Serana. I think she says at some point how she's uneasy with Chapels. Even if you cured her Vampirism by siding with the Dawnguard, she probably wouldn't want to step inside one.
I'd have her simply acknowledge your feelings and reciprocate them provided you picked the right dialog options during the main quest. Then if you sleep while you have her as a Follower, you'll get the Lover's Comfort resting bonus. But none of the other benefits from marriage. I just can't see Serana staying at home cooking and running a store for you.
@@jonathanprince707 As far as I can tell, one don't need to be in a Chapel (or any religious building for that matter) to get married. IRL anyway. Can only assume that the same can be said to Skyrim & The Elder Scrolls franchise in general.
@@abd-qadirgilani8871 pretty sure in terms of lore, you marry in mara temple to get some kind of blessing for your marriage and if you dont mara is like yeah fuck those two
@@andrejzizenstock9067 Mara doesn't sound like the type to snub a pair of lovers just because they didn't get hitched in her Temple.
All I'm saying is Serana just wouldn't be comfortable walking into a Chapel.
If I could write a mod to marry Serana, it would just be some extra dialog at the end if you approach her while wearing the Amulet of Mara. You can ask her to marry, she would say yes, but she doesn't like churches and Molag Bal doesn't really go for the whole matrimony thing.
But she does admit she feels the same for you, and the both of you just decide to skip the ceremony. For all intents and purposes, you're married. And you don't need the Mara or a Daedra Lord to tell you otherwise.
Hell you could even say Mara is so moved by your love, she gives you the Lover's Comfort resting bonus anyway.
I don't know how you make your videos so bingeable but it looks like I might go on another Skyrim Details binge after this, great vid Nate!
NATE I just noticed a strange detail only available in one mission. After the battle for whiterun if ur siding with the companions, you can get some unique dialogue from Raloff, he asks if colors seem brighter and stuff before he starts repeating that he feels so alive. Check it out!
This doesn't even make sense
@@Bemix666NUCLAR it fuckin happens tho... check it out. Numb nuts. Eh?
@@Bemix666NUCLAR wait I think I know what you mean. Siding with the companions... I meant already involved in that faction. My bad. Sorry for bein a jackass.
What is he referencing exactly?
I really need to make a personal "Skyrim mods" playlist for your videos, because most of the mods you are showcasing are simply amazing.
"Hey how's it going guys? It's you know who.."
Me in a whisper: "Voldemort??"
Dawnguard should had a stronger connection to “a god” or Adria? (Sorry half asleep right now) Since the vampires basically had the same in reverse.
Well most were ex-vigilants of stendarr so...
Also Aedra* not trying to be an ass just correcting it for your half asleep self
Mete Tural currently slapping myself to stay awake
@@FaytVanguard ah well dont worry. I've got a very easy way of staying awake. Have you heard of Insomnia...
@@metetural9140 LOL 😁 I know that one. (Insomnia).
Edit Vickers. Yes dawngaurd should have an aedra connection (or Talos inspired, different set of divines Mer Vs Human).
8 same 1 different.
Dawnguard is my favourite DLC of any video game ever. BUT, I swear to god everytime the vampires attack whiterun it's when I'm over-encumbered after a long trip of adventuring. I get a front row seat as they murder Adriana to death while I slowly walk over to help. Hate that about the DLC, wish they would just attack the front gate instead.
Lol. Just drop all your shit and help out, nobody's going to touch your stuff without asking you first.
I'm still laughing at this image though.
I'd also recommend the Volkihar Vampire Knight armor set. It looks absolutely badass.
Here is a theory:
Nate our man is acctually an ai from bethesda that escaped from fallout. How do i know that? Well... Todd always told us that the ai was gonna super good and maybe nate is that ai but from what npc? Well as his name indicates his name is Nate and your husband in Fallout 4 is also named Nate maybe our boi here escaped from Fallout 4 because he is to advanced for the game after escaping without knowking what to do he started doing videos about the only thing he knew about Bethesda
But hey thats just a theory a Game theory
Hey Nate it's guys here, I just wanted to thank you for how much you've helped me improve my game with these mod videos. I only started modding Skyrim about a year ago so having a ton of options presented to me in a quick yet detailed manner really helped me build my load order. Thanks a ton for the help and keep up the great work!
0:48 "Factions felt like they could have been better fleshed out" "the world could have been more impacted"

Justin Cameron With her background story, I still fail to understand why ppl can’t just leave her alone like she wants to 🤦🏻♀️....
I recently got into mods because of your videos and it’s like a whole new game! I especially love cutting room floor- it’s so awesome to be able to put together the pieces of the puzzles the game creators never finished. Can’t wait to try these out!
I want to see more mods like this for the entire game and all factions
Loved your suggestions, I went back and downloaded 3 different mods based upon your suggestions. Thank you greatly!
*mmmhh yes. a video I look forward to watching.*
Any thing I can do to help Isran?
@@theexecutioner9826 speak with sorine. She needs help improving the crossbow design she's been working on.
@@israhnn ahh yes, always the noble vampire hunter
Thanks for putting the mods in the description bro
wait a millisecond
Well done my young apprentice
Now, about that Dragonborn/Solsthiem mod list? :P
Nate I don't know how you keep finding all these amazing mods but thank you for sharing them with all of us :D
You never stop amazing us with your content Nate!👍
I cant remember but i used to love this older mod that after you completed the vampire side of the story it rebuilt the castle and added another part to the story, something about proving that your worthy to lead the vampires or something, I sadly forgot what the name of the mod was called but I will always remember.
*Me hears sun magic*
*Me starts chuckling because dark souls*
Me: praise the SUN!
What if I just
*TASTE THE SUN*
😐
I must say thanks to your videos i rediscovered skyrim again and now i try to find some of the stuff your talking about
16:20 Wait is that a Vampire using a Crossbow? lol. I've never seen Vampires use Crossbows or any ranged weapon for that matter.
My Serana uses a bow sometimes, on dragons...
Idk where she gets the arrows frow, but she has an odd amount of the arrows that I have in my inventory... maybe shes stealing them from me
@@mariejuana2993 Some follower's have *INFINITE* arrows but the arrow theft thing is funnier
Suggestion for 10 tiny details about Skyrim:
On the island of Raven Rock is a Nord NPC named Glover Mallory, who is the brother of Delvin Mallory in The Thieves Guild. If the player is a member of the Thieves Guild, Glover will give you a quest to recover a recipe for improved bonemold armor. Once you complete the quest, Glover will reward you with a key for a room in his house filled with rewards such as gems, gold and lockpicks. One of the rewards is a unique set and of armor called Blackguard (pronounced blaggard) armor. What’s your interesting about this is that the Blackguards are a mercenary group in Black Marsh, which act the main enemy faction in The Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire DLC. Considering that Glover was once a member of a seedy group like the Thieves Guild, and he that he also mentions that he ran far away to other places in Tamriel before settling in Solstheim, it’s entirely possible that he was once a member of the Blackguards, himself.
I prefer the better vampires mod since you can turn off people attacking you if you go too long without feeding and you can turn anyone you bite into a vampire that will instantly be loyal to you(except for the guards). Also it adds vampire hunting groups that attack at random intervals and are much stronger than just regular Dawnguard troops along with an option to take damage while in the sun and to be able to regenerate health and magic when standing in the shade. You can also make it so that you turn into a pile of ash when you die instead of just rag-dolling like normal.
Hey Nate its Gaige, I just wanted to let you know that your videos bring me stress relief from my day and it just helps me a lot. I don't know what it is, but sitting down and watch a video just.. just takes time from my day and makes me realize that I'm human yet and I have problems as we all do, but Nate yes thank you for your videos!!!! Keep it up man, we all love you!!!!!! To the Throat of the World and back!!!
Keep doing what you do Nate, been a subscriber for a long time much love from Belize
I hope you do a similar mod revolving around the Dragonborn DLC! I love the Skaal and I'm sure there's mods that I'm unaware of that'd make the DLC and main quest alot better than it actually is!
Sacrosanct would definitely want me to play as a vampire. Vanilla's system turns me off.
Z yku can also use “better vampires” I personally like that one better since I feel you can customize your experience more
@@richardespinoza9989 I second what this person said. I used to use sacrosanct before, but better vampires is way more customizable, and I haven't noticed it lacking anything sacrosanct has.
Thanks.
@@drfreakenstein2912 It doesn't come with a vamp lord tree. It also makes you op with the speed boosts.
Hey how's it going Nate ? It's a viewer here !
I can't remember when I discovered your videos, but thanks to you I'm exploring Skyrim to find the easter eggs, the references, the items and all the stuff you talk about, as I write this comment, I'm installing some mods to further enchance my Dawnguard experience.
Thanks you a million times for your videos.
is no one gonna talk about Nate just attacking the courier when the fight ended.....?
Drake Natsu nope
A lovely video filled with overhauls. Next one should other overhauls, like Collage of Winterhold and magic system or Companions and fighting system, you get the idea. Have fun making them as much as I have watching them.
His voice is said to tame all animals for 60 sounds
If you can’t tell I love this guy
The dawnguard aesthetics really makes me wanting a vampire hunter game in a medieval fantasy setting
Skyrim’s 4th DLC: Into m’aiqs world
You’ll become well known in the community cus of your comments popping up in every Skyrim YT vid lol
Where is TES 6 maiq I know you're todd I'm disguise you can't hide
Hey M'aiq....i can almost guarantee you will have more in Tesvi
Undyingtmlg M’aiq is already well known
4:41 Sorry, am just sorry, but I cannot unsee that husky being literally jaw-dropping at all those mods in the background, on the left
4:04 “My name is Oliver Queen...”
One mod I got on Xbox One is Seranaholic (V1.7) Serana Replacer, she is really beautiful. Her eyes are red like other vampires (they turn blue if you cure her). Works great with the Seraphim body replacer
NOOOOO!!! I just cleaned my MO2 mod list!1 here i go installing more stuff again
I installed the flying vampire lord mod for VR and it was amazing, totally felt like a dragon 10/10
Fun Fact: In the Creation Kit, anything and everything related to Dawnguard has the prefix DLC1 (or DLC01) on its editor id and Dragonborn has DLC2 (or DLC02). But Hearthfire was the second DLC, not Dragonborn.
Well, Hearthfire has the prefix BYOH (presumably Build Your Own Home), indicating it was never regarded as a proper DLC by Bethesda, but it was still sold as one.
Thanks for this! I'm now doing another play through and I was gonna do the Vampire side. So this is going to boost my experience.
The dawn guard one of my favorite DLC’s
It really is great. I ended up wearing the DG armour most of the time in my game because I felt a stronger connection to that faction than any other. Also it looked sweet.
Love the armor for a female character I think it fits best because it doesn’t look too bulky
You are the best UA-camr ever! I've been here since Minecraft, It's been a long journey,from the land of Minecraft all the way to Tamrial. And I'm always ready to kick back relax, and grab some mead, I love the Dawngaurd, but there was soooo much that Bethesda missed
who protects the sun?
Dawn-guard ik its bad lul
Well done you literally just said the meaning of the Dawnguard's name. Great job
Good question 😉
Delet this
no
Solair does at least he praise the sun
I would actually like to see a video about sacrosanct.Love your videos by the way very informative about Skyrim, a game that I truly enjoy.
Eddy the monstrum I did a vampire playthrough with the mod and its pretty cool and fun in the beginning but halfway through you get so OP it just doesnt feel fun at all.
Hey you know who, it's guys here
Love the content. Please keep up the good work.
Long live the "Game of the Year" editions with all DLCs included XD
Last time I did Dawnguard I used the DG Arsenal alongside Black DG Armor, but easily my favourite addition was the most simple: one that gave the goofy light helmet the same appearance as the heavy one. Everyone looked uniform and they looked damn good.
"merkel is adorable" -nate 2019
I also love the traveling merchants IP adds... Great for dumping off spare gear weighing you down
Missed a chance making the dawnguard daggers into wooden stakes smdh
Nice to hear someone give Sacrosanct the praise it deserves. I'm a paladin spellsword guy myself, but after just reading the sacrosanct mod page I clearly see that this mod is *HUGE* gamechanger. it now becomes boring to not be a vampire! combine that with (in my opinion) the best story-driven gameplay Skyrim has to offer (Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood) and you can see how Sacrosanct really makes it easy to choose a stealth/assassin or straight up nightblade build. And this is why I don't know what build to choose this time haha
hey hope you’re doing great today and you’re a beautiful person
Woah this came up in my suggestions and I though this was from years ago, nice vid dawg
"Honestly its amazing to me that something like this wasn't included in the base game.". You know this is Bethesda you're talking about right?
Good concept for a video. I love Dawnguard, but it could have been so much more.
Lydia is still bae. She's my first wife and she's my last.
Your loyalty is noted.
Yeah, but she still calls me her Thane all the time and it just feels weird.
your all noobs serana is best bae
Stevie Ginalick I agree.
I'm not saying I agree. Just respect the loyalty.
I used run for your lives with basically every playthrough, but I still had weak npc's die on me because they didn't realize an attack was happening till they got hit with a ranged spell. Definitely going to add Bells to my modlist
i don't know who it is 0:00
I've barely ever played Skyrim but this makes me want to go back and try it again
12:07 - This is one of my biggest pet peeves. The word is etcetera. ETcetera, not EXcetera.
Also, the Bells mod makes the Dawnguard Sentries run and hide when the bells sound.
My first playthrough was Imperial and I became a vampire through Dawnguard. I've tried being Stormcloak on another one and it felt like a betrayal. I couldn't imagine ever being a Dawnguard either.
@SAW Gunner nah, while I do agree that Skyrim is better off without the Empire and its debts, now isn't the time for that, all of Tamerial needs to come together to fight the Thalmor, a splintered Empire is what the Thalmor want, after they been dealt with, I honestly could care less about what happens in Cyrodil, Morrowind is better off without them
You keep saying how major the dawnguard are.
Aren’t they, like, three people when you first join them?
Well it makes sense when you first arrive at Fort Dawnguard. Isran's still trying to just get the Dawnguard project off the ground, and he has to do it basically alone. It's just him, the Orc guy, and some other dude. That's why the Player has to go out and recruit NPCs for him.
The dawn guard has a full history of lore too. They aren't a new group they just have to rebuild it.
@@jonathanprince707Yet you dont and some how still get attacked by 3 of them every 2 days
@@mariejuana2993 Ah but that's the beauty of the DLC. Think about it. If you didn't, then who did? After defeating Harkon, you eventually get the quest to Destroy the Dawnguard. When you attack the Fort, you find the NPCs you would have normally recruited had you sided with Isran. Even the crazy priest of Arkay who was trapped in a dungeon by some crazy witch is there. If you didn't save him, who did?
I'm going to guess without you there Isran had to rely on that farmboy. And that is one of the things I love about Dawnguard. You as the player, aren't needed.
Normally you have to do EVERYTHING for these stupid NPCs or nothing ever gets done. Isran was totally able to rebuild the Dawnguard without you. He didn't need you to hold his hand, wipe his nose, fetch him 20 rat spleens, or anything.
I'd give him a pat on the head, a plate of chicken tendies, and 10 Good Boy points for just being able to do that all on his own...right before I slice his throat...and take his tendies...because fuck Isran.
@@jonathanprince707 😂😂 Yeah thats true aswell. I agree with you, I like the fact that us as the player arent entirely needed, besides the Dragonborn quests because there is ofc one Dragonborn at a time (?). Other than that, you are perfectly correct, who's to say there isn't another NPC running around helping other NPC's, or thieving for the Guild (as we have seen plenty times in Riften marketplace), or assasinating important people (as we see new recruits in the Dawnstar Sanctuary).
I haven't gotten the quest to destroy the Dawnguard yet though :( I didnt follow through properly. I have a habit of collecting as many quests as I can before I start (or finish) any of them xd ;_;
“On the brink of 2020.” If only the poor fool knee what that would come to truly mean.
Huh, never knew Voldermort would be hosting an episode.
